The show’s sixth season will feature a distraught Prince Charles after viewing the body of Diana, played by Elizabeth Debicki.
Viewers on set told The Sun that cast members were visibly upset, with one saying: “They actually made Elizabeth climb into a coffin and play dead as Diana.” Viewers will see a French priest administering Diana’s last rites as she is declared deceased.
Prince Charles walks into the room and is crying his eyes out. In his hysteria he notices that Diana is missing an earring. It’s all he can focus on as the pain engulfs him.
They added: ‘Princes William and Harry never saw their mother dead in a coffin and they shouldn’t have to see this. Neither should the British public.
Crew members are said to be concerned that the writers and producers would beat the higher chase ratings.
One viewer said: ‘Everyone was very uncomfortable doing the shoot. It is obscene and should be banned from broadcast.’
The upcoming season will show “sick” scenes of Princess Diana lying on a table with desperate doctors trying to save her.
One scene will reportedly show Prince Charles in a sea of tears after the death of Princess Diana.
Netflix crews film moments before Princess Diana’s car crashed in Paris for The Crown
Netflix has insisted that the “exact timing” of the accident will not appear in the controversial drama, which has recently been criticized for sensationalism and inaccuracy.
A friend of Diana’s said the show’s creators could face charges of “insensitivity” over the filming in Paris. Debbie Frank, who was Diana’s astrologer, said it would be “terrible” for Princes William and Harry to see a re-enactment of the moments before her mother’s death.
“Obviously it’s terrible for Diana’s children to have to see that again. It’s insensitive,” she said.
She added: “I feel like Diana’s death and the accident was the biggest shock of our generation. It had a huge impact on the national psyche.
“I suppose the filmmakers of The Crown feel entitled to show a re-enactment of the scenes leading up to his death that has dramatic impact. But relatives would think otherwise.
Ken Wharfe, Diana’s former bodyguard, told The Sun that William will find the scenes “repulsive” and that Charles will be “appalled”.
A spokesman for the Prince of Wales declined to comment to The Sun.
