Prince Harry will have a ‘sensitivity viewer’ watch The Crown’s depiction of his last call with his mother Princess Diana to ‘save him’ from traumatic content, insider claims

Prince Harry will make a ‘sensitive viewer’ watch The Crown’s portrayal of his final call with his mother Princess Diana to ‘save’ him from traumatic content, an insider has claimed.

The first four episodes of the final season depict a dramatized version of the lead-up to and aftermath of Diana’s death, including the Princess of Wales’s final meeting with her sons.

But a newly released clip from the Netflix series reveals they missed a call from Diana, played by Elizabeth Debicki, at Balmoral the day before she died.

The new season will also show the imaginary last conversation the princes had with their mother, as well as the moment they learned about their mother’s death.

Despite knowing that the four episodes will mainly focus on Diana’s death, Harry will probably still watch the series. He previously said he watches the show and reportedly even fact-checks it.

An insider has now told the Telegraph that they can ‘watch it first to save him from anything he might not want to see’.

But Prince William is unlikely to watch the series after previously expressing his frustration with the show and glossing over the circumstances surrounding Diana’s Panorama interview.

Newly released clips from The Crown include Charles’ despair as he tells William and Harry their mother has died and Diana telling Dodi she is a ‘persona non-grata’ at Balmoral.

The show will also depict the last time Prince William and Prince Harry spoke to their mother, but it will not be an actual reflection of the conversation.

In episode four, Diana is depicted as frustrated while in Paris with Dodi, and desperate to return to Britain to see her sons.

After missing one chance to speak to them on the phone, Diana finally manages to call Prince William and Prince Harry, where they ask her if she is going to marry billionaire Mohamed Al-Fayed’s son.

While it is true that Prince William and Prince Harry shared a phone call with their mother on her last day alive, their memories of the phone call do not reflect the portrayal of the Netflix series.

In a 2017 documentary Diana: Our Mother, the princes discussed for the first time the details of their “desperately hurried” last phone call with the late royal family.

Recalling the conversation, they expressed regret at being desperate to get back out and play with their cousins, who were also at Balmoral.

Harry said: ‘I can’t necessarily remember what I said. But probably all I remember is, you know, I spent the rest of my life regretting how short the call was.

“And if I had known that was the last time I would speak to my mother – the things I would have said to her.”

William said of the call: ‘Harry and I were in a desperate hurry to say goodbye, you know, ‘see you later’.’

Neither of them revealed Diana’s precious last words to them.

The emotional first four episodes cover the tragic car crash in Paris that killed Princess Diana in August 1997 – along with her lover Dodi and their driver Henri Paul – and the royal family’s reaction to it, as well as the summer holiday that Diana and Dodi enjoyed in Saint Petersburg.

For sensitivity reasons, the exact moment of Diana’s death is not recreated, but there are controversial scenes in which Charles tenderly talks to an imaginary Diana in the cabin of the royal plane as he accompanies her body from Paris to London, and later when she also appears to the Queen.

Critics who have seen these scenes have called them “farcical” for depicting Diana as a ghost, but series creator Peter Morgan has insisted this was not the intention.

“I never imagined it would be the ghost of Diana in the traditional sense of the word,” he told Variety magazine. “It was she who continued to live vividly in the minds of those she left behind.”

The final six episodes of the series, which will be available in December, will see the family pick up after Diana’s death, covering William and Kate’s budding romance in St. Andrews, ending with Charles and Kate’s wedding Camilla in April 2005.

Netflix boss Ted Sarandos has explained why the series ends there. “The line was to keep it historical, not journalistic,” he said. “Stopping almost twenty years before the day makes it worthy.”
