A close friend of Princess Diana has branded Netflix series The Crown ‘cruel, sadistic and wicked’ for its portrayal of the late royal’s life.
The new series of the popular drama, which depicts a fictionalised version of the royal family , is due to be released on the streaming platform on November 9. But Netflix has come under fire for plans in the upcoming episodes to recreate Princess Diana, played by Elizabeth Debicki, in some of her final moments.
The Princess of Wales died alongside boyfriend Dodi Fayed while travelling in a limousine through a Paris tunnel on August 31, 1997. And now Diana’s friend Simone Simmons has become the latest person to criticise The Crown for dramatising the events surrounding her death, The Mirror reports .
