The sixth and final season of “The Crown” should also deal with the death of Lady Diana. However, according to The Sun, some of the series’ staff are said to be so disgusted with scenes from the new season that they want them banned.
Shortly after the release of the fifth season of the Netflix series “The Crown”, fans can hardly wait for the beginning of the next season. Not least because the stories surrounding Princess Diana will again take up a large plot line. But new scenes for “The Crown” are now causing a new stir for the series.
Are scenes of the dead Princess Diana shown?
There is no concrete footage yet, but according to reports from British newspapers, the hours immediately after Diana’s car accident in Paris should also be part of the new “The Crown” season. In one episode, among other things, Diana actress Elizabeth Debicki, 32, is said to be Lady Dis’s body in an open coffin. Production employees are said to have been extremely “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 further scenes, the then Prince Charles should be seen, who tears and hysterically sees the dead body of the princess.
Employees find: “It’s obscene”
Dramatic images that go too far for the production team. 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.
