WARNING: This article contains spoilers from all seasons of The Crown<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

The new season of The Crown saw Princess Diana (played by Elizabeth Debicki) and Dodi Fayed (Khalid Abdalla) heading to Derbyshire to meet with a psychic in a whistle-stop helicopter ride there.<\/p>\n

The scene in the Netflix drama was a short one as Dodi and Diana went to consult with a fortune teller about what the playboy should do about his engagement to American model Kelly Fisher (Erin Richards).<\/p>\n

Many are curious to know if this strange moment had any truth or was simply added to the show for dramatic effect.<\/p>\n

Did Diana really visit a psychic with Dodi?<\/h2>\n

In an exclusive interview with Daily Express, the author of Queen Victoria’s Descendants Marlene Koenig said: \u201cYes, Rita Rogers. She was Diana\u2019s favourite [psychic]. In fact, Diana talked to her often.\u201d<\/p>\n

Much like in The Crown, Koenig confirmed Princess Diana and Dodi did fly by helicopter to see the medium in Grassmoor, Derbyshire.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Koenig continued: \u201cShe had been there several times and would talk to Rita on the phone nearly once a week. That\u2019s what one does when one has a psychic.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut she actually talked about years later – Rogers said she knew they were not engaged and she wasn\u2019t pregnant.\u201d<\/p>\n

Addressing why Dodi and Diana went to see the fortune teller, Koenig said: \u201cShe used psychics. Some people go to therapists.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo this was true. I remember seeing pictures of the helicopter landing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Adding: \u201cIt was very, very weird but it was very, very Diana. Maybe she wanted to find out if this relationship was going to go anywhere?\u201d<\/p>\n

Koenig said Princess Diana was known to \u201cdrop friends in an instant\u201d and if they said something she didn\u2019t like the royal would cut them out.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo she was dependent on this kind of [people] because they would flatter her and tell her what you want to hear.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to Rita, Princess Diana and she had a relationship whereby the princess would go to see her for advice about the future.<\/p>\n
