Gold Derby can exclusively reveal that Dominic West is entering the “The Crown” episode “Aftermath” as his 2024 Emmy Award submission for Best Drama Actor. “Aftermath” aired on November 16, 2023, and is the fourth episode of the Netflix drama’s sixth and final season.
In “Aftermath”: Elizabeth (Imelda Staunton), Philip (Jonathan Pryce) and Charles (West) learn of Diana’s (Elizabeth Debicki) death; Charles tells William (Ed McVey) and Harry (Luther Ford). Mohamed (Salim Daw) returns Diana’s possessions to the royal family and writes to them, but the palace does not respond. Charles flies to Paris to accompany Diana’s coffin back to England; he has a vision of Diana and expresses his regret. At Balmoral, Charles tells Elizabeth and Philip of the reactions he witnessed and pushes for a more public response from the family. The royal family faces a public backlash at its muted response. Elizabeth has a vision of Diana; she then agrees to a ceremonial funeral and travels to London. Philip, Charles, William, Harry and Diana’s brother, Charles Spencer (Philip Cumbus), walk behind the funeral procession. “Aftermath” was written by Peter Morgan and directed by Christian Schwochow.
