The Crown reveals shock new storyline for the Queen in emotional scenes

New footage taken behind the scenes on the Netflix royal drama has revealed the final season’s emotional plot involving the Queen.

It appears The Crown will depict an emotional scene involving a flashforward to the Queen’s death.

The upcoming series of The Crown will contain an emotional flashforward scene depicting Prince Charles’ ascension to the throne.

The Sun can reveal that despite Netflix bosses previously confirming the sixth and final season will end in the early ‘00s – the moving scene has already been shot.

Fans will see Imelda Staunton, 67, as Queen Elizabeth II walking through a Union Jack filled street as revellers run around her as if she is not there.

Grim-faced, Her Majesty then looks on gloomily as a portrait style sign at The Queen’s Head pub is taken down and replaced with one of King Charles and renamed The King’s Head.

Footage of the emotional moment has appeared online after students at London School of Economics secretly recorded the scene being filmed from their university building in Central London.

Last year, season five found itself at the centre of controversy after scenes showed Prince Charles, played by Dominic West, plotting with then-prime minister John Major, played by Jonny Lee Miller, to force his mother to abdicate.

The scenes, which sparked fury and caused the former PM to speak out, depicted the Prince of Wales branding the monarchy and Her Majesty outdated and out of touch.

Charles argued he should ascend the throne in order to revitalise and protect the monarchy.

Sir John Major slammed the scenes as “malicious fiction” insisting he was not approached to fact-check any material.

The Crown began in 2016 – documenting the record-breaking reign of Queen Elizabeth II against rapid social change of the UK and bitter family disputes.

Initially it was only set to run for five series, however, after becoming one of the most successful shows in the word, creator Peter Morgan announced an extra series.

He previously said: “As we started to discuss the storylines for season five, it soon became clear that in order to do justice to the richness and complexity of the story we should go back to the original plan and do six seasons.

“To be clear, season six will not bring us any closer to the present-day – it will simply enable us to cover the same period in greater detail.”

Last month during a controversial appearance on US TV, Prince Harry admitted he watches the show.

The Duke of Sussex told The Late Show With Stephen Colbert he “fact checks” the show.
