Princess Diana's infamous Panorama interview with Martin Bashir will reportedly be dramatised in a segment lasting over four minutes on The Crown.
The Netflix show's smash hit royal drama returns on November 9 and will feature episodes building up to the bombshell BBC interview, which Prince William has called to never be aired again after a report by Lord Dyson concluded the broadcaster had covered up “deceitful behaviour” by Bashir to secure the chat with the late Princess of Wales.
The series will include the Panorama interview in a segment lasting four minutes, 23 seconds, reports The Sun.

The upcoming series is said to show Diana, played by Elizabeth Debicki, referencing her “crowded” marriage to the future king – a reference to the now Queen Consort.
A young William will also be shown seeing his mother’s interview on TV while a pupil at Eton school.
Charles will reportedly also be shown yelling and swearing in response to the broadcast.
A spokeswoman for Netflix said: “Season five of The Crown will dramatise events surrounding the Panorama interview, given the pivotal part it played during the time period the series covers.
“It will reflect what we now know about how the interview was obtained and how Diana was treated.
“The interview is not recreated in full.”
Last month, Netflix put a disclaimer in the description of its YouTube trailer for the fifth series of The Crown, saying the production is a “fictional dramatisation” and “inspired by real events” following criticism from Dame Judi Dench and former Prime Minister Sir John Major.
