Today's edition of Loose Women got emotional earlier today as the panelists discussed upcoming episodes of The Crown.
Christine Lampard was joined by Linda Robson, Janet Street-Porter and Brenda Edwards on the ITV show today, as they discussed friend and colleague Charlene White's upcoming stint on I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! and Netflix series The Crown.
The fictional series has been a hot topic of conversation over recent weeks following the death of Queen Elizabeth II in September, with many calling for the drama to reconsider recreating some of the Royal Family's most scandalous moments on screen.
Last week, Princess Diana 's friends took aim at The Crown as the Netflix series was spotted filming the moments leading up to her tragic death.
Witnesses have claimed the fictional drama recently shot scenes involving Elizabeth Debicki, who plays the late star in an upcoming series, in a black Mercedes just 100 yards from the Alma tunnel, Paris - where Diana tragically died in 1997.
The Crown bosses have also reportedly confirmed the hit royal drama will show King Charles and Camilla's infamous 'tampongate' conversation - something which will infuriate fans of the new Head of State and the Queen Consort.
Discussing all the drama connected to the popular Netflix series on Loose Women today, Christine kicked things off admitting that while she's watched a few series of the drama, she finds some storylines a bit 'disrespectful'.
As the conversation moved to chat about the possibility of seeing Princess Diana's death recreated on screen for The Crown, Brenda shared her own experience with grief when vocalizsng her opinions about the series.
The Loose Women presenter tragically lost her 31-year-old son, music entrepreneur Jamal Edwards, earlier this year. The late star was an ambassador for the Prince's Trust, a youth charity connected to King Charles which helps young people set up their own businesses.
"It was interesting to watch," she said of the earlier series of the drama. "But I [feel] the same [as her fellow panelists who don't like the upcoming storyline involving Diana's death]."
She continued to say: "Maybe because I can relate to the tragedy, I feel that [the Diana storyline] is in bad taste too.
"To be focusing on the accident when we all know what happened - we don't need to recreate it. There are plenty of other stories they could talk about if they want to talk about something, if you know what I mean?"
Brenda added: "I think it is quite distasteful to do that when Diana is not here and her sons are going through it."
Not everyone on today's Loose Women panel was totally against the possible storyline.
Janet argued how The Crown is a fictional drama and while many may want the Netflix series to be considerate of the Royal Family, such courtesy is not extended when true crime stories are dramatised and adapted for TV shows.
The broadcaster pointed out how popular series on Netflix relating to serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer are triggering to the relatives and loved ones of the murderer's victims, but they still have to see their pain turned into a drama for entertainment purposes.
A new trailer for the upcoming series of The Crown has dramatised the infamous Panorama interview with Diana - something that sparked fury online upon its release last week.
Further controversary has now been caused thanks to the show seemingly appear to film the late mum-of-two's final hours, despite Netflix bosses previously claiming the "exact moment" of the crash will not be shown on screen.
The fifth series of the royal drama, which is set to launch on November 9, will take inspiration from the pressure put upon the monarchy as Charles and Diana’s marriage was collapsing and in the lead-up to Diana's infamous interview with Martin Bashir in 1995.
