Filming in Mallorca for the sixth series of The Crown finally started on Friday. The location was the Villa Castillo de Mallorca mansion in Cala Racó, Puerto Andratx, which represents the Castle of Santa Teresa in Saint-Tropez, owned by the Al Fayed family and the last refuge for Diana and Dodi before their deaths in August 1997.
