It was an iconic photograph of Princess Diana, sitting on the diving aboard Mohamed Alfayed´s yacht, Jonikal. This famous scene has been recreated in Mallorca for Series 6 of the hit Netflix series, The Crown. Elizabeth Debicki takes the role of Princess Diana and filming over the weekend centred around the Andratx area. The super-yacht, Titania, owned by British billionaire John Caudwell, founder of Phones 4u, has been chartered to play the role of the Al Fayed yacht, Jonikal.

Series 5 of The Crown, which was partly filmed on the island and will be screened next month on Neflix, is also making the headlines. Sir John Major has blasted The Crown as a ‘damaging and malicious’ work of fiction in a new statement.

The former prime minister, who was in office from 1990 to 1997, will be portrayed in the show’s upcoming fifth series by actor Jonny Lee Miller.
