It is publicity which the island simply couldn't buy. Filming of the fifth series of the hit Netflix series, The Crown, starts in Sa Calobra today (Monday) with the main stars having arrived on the island on Friday.

Mallorca is not actually mentioned in the story line but the fact that filming is taking place here has already caused a buzz. It is widely rumoured that Elizabeth Debicki, who plays Princess Diana, will be jetting into the island this weekend.

He plays the role of former British Prime Minister John Major. Hundreds of local extras have been recruited for the Mallorca filming.
