'The Crown' Season 6 Sparks Controversy Over Portrayal of Diana's Final Days

Critics Divided Over Depiction of Diana and Dodi Fayed, Question Historical Accuracy

The Crown's season 6 has sparked controversy for its depiction of Princess Diana's final days and the aftermath of her death. Critics have praised Elizabeth Debicki's performance as Diana, but have mixed feelings about the overall season.
The series has been criticized for its portrayal of Dodi Fayed and his father, Mohamed Al-Fayed, as well as the inclusion of 'ghost' appearances by Diana and Dodi after their deaths.
The show suggests that Dodi Fayed may have proposed to Diana, a point of historical contention. While some believe he intended to propose, others argue that Diana would not have accepted.
The Crown's creator, Peter Morgan, has defended his creative choices, arguing that the show is not a historical thesis but a nuanced drama. Critics, however, argue that the show has lost its critical perspective on the royal family.
The Crown's depiction of the royal family's response to Diana's death has also been criticized, with some arguing that the show is too sympathetic to the royals.
