According to The Sun, some of the scenes from the new season were so disgusted by the show’s staff that they’re planning to have them banned.
New scenes for the next season of the Netflix series “The Crown” have caused a stir around the series again.
In one episode, Diana actress Elizabeth Debicki (32) is Lady Di’s corpse in an open coffin. The employees are said to have been “disgusted” by the presentation, as reported by The Sun.
Other scenes are said to show medics trying to save Diana in a blood-soaked hospital room. In other scenes, Prince Charles is said to be seen tearfully and hysterically looking at the dead body of the princess.
“It’s obscene”
The tabloid wrote that “disgusted” crew members were “appalled” by the “insensitive, ratings-hunting script” for next season. A witness to the scenes is quoted as saying, “Everyone felt very uncomfortable filming it. It’s obscene and shouldn’t be aired.”
It continued: ‘Princes William and Harry have never seen their mother dead in a coffin and they shouldn’t have to see it. Neither should the British public.’ The horrified viewers should hope, according to “The Sun”, that public anger would force decision-makers not to broadcast the scenes.
