The producers of The Crown TV series are ready to come under fire for their plan to use a replica of the car Princess Diana died in in 1997. Diana died with her lover, Dodi Fayed, in a tragic car crash at the Pont de l’Alma. Tunnel in Paris, France. Fayed and the driver, Henry Paul, died instantly, while Diana was taken to an ambulance where she succumbed to her injuries.
In the news in the UK media Daily Mail the replica would have the steering wheel crushed, the hood dented and the dashboard hanging from the windshield. The car will have been taken to Paris last year for filming. In October, the show’s staff were seen recreating Diana’s final journey and filming scenes where investigators examine the crash site.
“The moment the collision takes place will not be played and shown,” Netflix spokespersons said of the provider’s decision to include the collision as part of a new series.
“I think a lot of people will be horrified to know that they’ve gone so far into detail that they’ve recreated the car as it looked after the accident.” I think the royal family is going to be sorry. I don’t think they (Netflix) would do that scene if it was another family,” a source said.
Princess Diana, who was the first wife of the future king, Prince Charles, was admired around the world as a member of the royal family. They became engaged and married in 1981, had sons William, in 1982, and Harry, in 1984. Diana and Karl divorced in 1992, but the divorce took place in 1996. Despite the divorce, Diana kept the admiration of the British, as well as the rest of the world, in addition she was popular with photographers. Admiration and respect for Diana has remained despite the fact that it has been almost 26 years since her death.
Elizabeth Debicki as Diana.
The producers of The Crown have come under fire for the way they portrayed her and her life on the show, but actress Elizabeth Debicki, who plays Diana, says people’s criticisms aren’t entirely justified. In an interview with Radio Times, she said she respects people’s opinions.
“It’s always been clear to me that no one can know what happened behind closed doors and anyone who writes a script interprets what might have happened. When that caveat is made and stated, we can- to stop thinking about it and move on. If people can understand and accept that, then we can start talking about the show as such, how it’s made and in what creative way.”
