THE runaway multi-season hit drama The Crown, a fictionalised account of the travails and triumphs of the British royal family over the past 70 years, currently airing its fourth season on a major OTT platform, has run into controversy over its depiction of the breakdown of the “fairy tale” Charles-Diana marriage.
The British media is awash with reports that Prince Charles, the heir to the throne, is trying to get Season 4 – which portrays in granular detail the troubled and ultimately tragic end of his union with Diana – supressed. Charles is apparently deeply upset at the less-than-flattering, some feel vicious, approach of the show in delineating his character and in the apportioning of blame for Diana’s troubles which ultimately led to her death in a Paris car crash in 1997.
