The upcoming series of Netflix’s popular show The Crown is likely to stumble upon every painful detail of King Charles’s marriage to the late Princess Diana, a news report has revealed. King Charles, the then Prince of Wales, married Princess Diana on July 29, 1981, in the most lavish royal wedding of the century.
According to a report by The Sun, the fifth series, which launches on streaming giant Netflix next month, is also likely to upset Prince William who is seen, along with brother Prince Harry, being caught in a psychological tug of war between their royal parents.
A TV insider told the publication: “This couldn’t have come at a more delicate time for the new King and his Queen Consort, particularly as they’re riding high in the minds of the public.
“There’s a sense that Netflix are muckraking over events that took place 30 to 40 years ago, but are still raw for those involved.
“The worst element for the royals is that millions of people around the world will view this series and view it less as a drama and more as a documentary.
“And attention on the Windsors couldn’t be higher as it’s been just a few weeks since Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral and is in the run-up to the King’s coronation.”
Series five will see Princess Diana, played by Elizabeth Debicki, divulging details of her rocky marriage.
She does so via tape recordings, which featured in the tell-all book on her life by Andrew Morton, Diana: Her True Story.
The author sent her a series of questions and the responses formed the basis of the biography, which shocked the nation when it was published in 1992.

And as Princess Diana’s fame and popularity grew, he became wildly jealous and resentful and she fell deeper into despair.
The scenes caused observers to warn that the Royal Family was at risk of being smeared by a drama presenting itself as a documentary.
TV presenter and royal biographer Andrew Marr previously said: “If they announced ‘This is drama, it’s fiction, it’s entertainment’, you would say it’s brilliant.
“But when you start to say, ‘This is the truth about these people’s lives’, it’s grossly unfair and really quite sadistic.
“It’s so convincingly acted that people may think it’s the truth — and it isn’t.”
