The latest series of The Crown ends on a high with Charles and Camilla’s wedding after the Netflix show was criticized for reenacting the 1997 car crash that killed Diana.
After months of heartlessly portraying the death of the late Princess Diana, the Netflix bosses have decided to end the upcoming series of The Crown on a high note by highlighting the wedding of King Charles and Queen Camilla.
The streaming giant has come under scrutiny for recreating the Paris car crash that killed Diana, and the funeral that took place afterwards.
But after the controversy, which has upset members of the royal family, writer Peter Morgan will portray the wedding as the season finale – which will be the series’ final.
Sources at Netflix say they hope this will put an end to criticism that the streaming service has contempt for the Queen and the royal family.
The rendition of the wedding will be filmed this week at York Minster, which is being used in place of St George’s Chapel in Windsor, where the King and Camilla married in 2005.

It is clear that their marriage will be portrayed in a positive way, with some working on the show hoping that audiences will feel “warm and happy” rather than outraged by the death of Princess Diana, aged 36. age. , was displayed.
A source close to Netflix told the Mail: ‘For several months now, it feels like the show has been titillating audiences by creepily telling the story of Diana’s death in a heartless way, unnecessarily upsetting Princes William and Harry.
So the decision to end it so nicely, Netflix hopes, will change the perception that they want to be heartless, they hope it will take the bad taste out of viewers’ mouths.
Charles and Camilla’s wedding will be a celebration and a very happy moment in the history of the monarchy. It also fits nicely in the year of the King’s coronation.
“But there are some staff working on the program who see this all as a cynical move to prevent Netflix from really upsetting the public by retelling Diana’s tragic death.”
King Charles actor Dominic West, 53, and Olivia Williams, 54, who plays the Queen Consort, will film at York Minster for two days this week.
Actors portraying the wider royal family are also expected.
