Series six, which airs next year, will conclude on the king’s 2005 wedding to then-Camilla Parker Bowles, the Telegraph reports that it will give viewers a ‘positive’ view of the monarchy.
The claims come as series five, which will air on Netflix from November 9, has come under criticism from a number of sources since the trailer’s release, with a royal biographer calling it “deliberately offensive.”
Strong focus on the Fallout between Princess Diana, played by Elizabeth Debicki, and King Charles (then Prince of Wales) as portrayed by Dominic West, the trailer shows some lows for the royals.

The upcoming series The Crown, which airs on Netflix from November 9, has been criticized by some for portraying a number of royals, including the King (pictured here in Glasgow in October)
However, according to reports, the next and final series will end “on a climax” for the king, portraying his 2005 marriage to Camilla (pictured)
Among them are the breakup of Charles and Diana’s marriage, the controversial Panorama interview of the late royal and the infamous ‘tampongate’ telephone conversation between the king and queen consort.
Amid the criticism, William Shawcross, the Queen Mother’s official biographer, has branded the series “abominable” and “deliberately hurtful” over an apparently fabricated scene where Charles tells the Queen she should be “thrown in jail.” because she is a ‘bad mother’.
The Netflix show was also criticized for the decision to recreate Princess Diana’s last days, shooting some scenes in Paris, where she died.
According to The suneven crew members are concerned about the scenes depicting the lead-up to Diana’s death, with one reportedly saying, “It feels like a line is being crossed.”
Netflix insists Diana’s death, in a car accident in the Pont de l’Alma tunnel in central Paris, will not be recreated in the new series.

But a regular source reportedly told The Sun: “To go back to Paris and turn Diana’s final days and hours into a drama feels very uncomfortable.
The show always tried to present a fictionalized version of royal history with as much sensitivity as possible. But lately, as things get closer and closer to the present, it’s been harder to find that balance.”
King Charles is the dominant figure in the drama. In a fictional storyline, he is shown lobbying Prime Minister John Major in an attempt to force his mother’s abdication.
Friends called the portrayal of the new monarch as an unfaithful schemer “false, dishonest and deeply wounding” and urged viewers to boycott the hit Netflix show.
The program has also been criticized by former Prime Minister John Major (pictured, Jonny Lee Miller as John Major in series five of The Crown) for portraying events he says never happened.

According to the Telegraph, the new series has raised concerns in both royal and political circles, with concerns about how King Charles’ reputation could be tarnished.
However, it cites a source saying the next series will highlight more “celebratory scenes,” including the Queen’s Golden Jubilee in 2002, and Prince William meeting Kate Middleton at St Andrews University.
Addressing the controversy surrounding series five of the program, a spokesperson last week for The Crown said: ‘The Crown has always been presented as a drama based on historical events.
“Series five is a fictional dramatization, imagining what could have happened behind closed doors for the royal family during an important decade – one that has already been closely researched and well documented by journalists, biographers and historians.”
