The gothic church was taking the place of Westminster Abbey, where the late Princess’s funeral took place in 1997. As reported by the Daily Mail, Winchester Cathedral was seen with cordons in place and location trucks on site, along with boxes of roses pictured scattered across the floor.
The Crown fans can visit Winchester Cathedral, and more information about visiting can be found on the church’s website. Winchester Cathedral has been used in previous seasons of The Crown, notably standing in for St Paul’s Cathedral for the funeral of Prime Minister Winston Churchill (John Lithgow) as well as the 1981 wedding of Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer. The funeral procession scene – depicting William and Prince Harry – was filmed in secrecy at a disused RAF base in October 2022.
