Actress Elizabeth Debicki has been spotted wearing a replica of the former Princess of Wales’ iconic purple and green swimsuit and sarong on the aft of TITANIA during filming for the new season of the hit Netflix series. Set to air next month, the latest instalment will recreate Princess Diana’s lavish vacation in the Mediterranean just weeks before she was killed in Paris with boyfriend Dodi Al-Fayed.
Filming has taken place around the port town of Andratx in Mallorca, though Diana and the son of former Harrods owner, Mohamed Al-Fayed, had cruised the French Riviera and Italy in the elegant Codecasa yacht Jonikal (now ISABELL PRINCESS OF THE SEA). Photos have already surfaced of the show’s beautiful recreation of the famous shot of Diana sitting at the end of the yacht’s diving board while in Portofino a mere 6 days before her tragic death on 31 August 1997.
Lurssen’s 240ft (73m) vessel charters at approximately $735 000 per week plus expenses in the summer, marking a considerable portion of the $14 million budget for each episode of The Crown .
Constructed in 2006 and refitted in 2020, she is a custom motor yacht considered to be one of the largest and most luxurious vessels available for charter. Replete with plush cream carpets and high-gloss woods, the classical interiors make her an obvious choice for Netflix’s popular dramatization of the British royal family’s life. Most rooms are tastefully accented with varying shades of blues, in-keeping with the nautical vibe.
With an expansive beach club and extendable swim platform, TITANIA is perfect for soaking up the Mediterranean sun before heading inside for a drink and music recital on the vessel’s grand piano. After a long day of watersports (or filming!), the boat sleeps up to 12 guests in 7 cabins– including the master suite which is situated on the full-beam main deck.
Part 1 of The Crown ’s sixth season airs on 16 November on Netflix. If you would like to experience TITANIA for yourself, make sure you contact your preferred charter broker; she is available for charter in the Mediterranean during the summer.
