Netflix’s Depiction of Princess Diana’s Final Phone Call Sparks Controversy

Prince Harry finds himself in a difficult position as he expresses his fury over Netflix's latest season of The Crown.

However, his hands are tied, and he is unable to take any action against the streaming giant due to his contractual obligations.

Welcome to Kate Middleton and the Queen Channel, where we bring you the latest news and updates from the royal family.

Before we dive into the details, it's important to note that I personally have not watched this season of The Crown, and I won't be doing so.

The way they are handling the portrayal of Princess Diana and the living individuals involved is deeply offensive and unethical.

Following Netflix's partnership with Meghan and Harry, many viewers, including myself, have cancelled their subscriptions to the platform.

Nevertheless, there are plenty of people who continue to watch the show and provide feedback on each episode.

Although I haven't seen the episodes myself, I will be reporting on what trusted sources have shared.

As previously reported, Prince William has made the wise decision to abstain from watching The Crown altogether.

On the other hand, Prince Harry seems to have a morbid curiosity or perhaps has been instructed by his paymasters to watch it.

However, even Harry is reportedly uncomfortable with the show's portrayal and has requested a friend to watch it first, in an attempt to shield himself from potential trauma.

This season of The Crown features the infamous phone call between Princess Diana and her sons, William and Harry.

In a 2017 documentary, William revealed that the conversation continues to weigh heavily on his mind.

He expressed regret for not cherishing the moment and not realizing the gravity of the situation.

The details of the conversation have remained private, both for William and Harry.

Despite the lack of factual knowledge regarding the phone call, The Crown has recreated the scene.

Harry has also opened up about his own conversation with his mother, stating that he regrets how short it was.

The heart-wrenching nature of these interactions is unimaginable, particularly for young boys who had to endure such a tragic loss.

It begs the question: why would Harry willingly subject himself to reliving these painful memories?

The depiction of this scene in The Crown is deeply troubling.

According to The Telegraph, the brothers are shown sitting side by side, passing the phone between them as they speak to their mother for the last time.

The show portrays the boys making light-hearted jokes and asking about Princess Diana's relationship with Dodi Al-Fayed.

However, the authenticity of these conversations remains uncertain.

It's important to remember that certain moments should remain sacred and not be exploited for profit.

The final phone call between a mother and her sons is one such moment.

Unfortunately, corporations like Netflix seem to disregard this notion.

While we haven't heard Harry's thoughts on this specific scene, it's safe to assume that he would be offended and hurt by its portrayal.

It's his own life being depicted, and the pain and trauma are all too real for him.

Another scene that is likely to upset Harry is the depiction of the moment Charles informs the boys of their mother's tragic passing.

Angela Levin, a royal commentator, believes Harry will be particularly disturbed by this scene.

She points out that Harry has previously expressed disappointment in his father's lack of physical affection during this difficult time.

However, The Crown portrays Charles holding and comforting the boys, disregarding Harry's own account.

It's worth noting that The Crown is a fictionalized representation of historical events.

While it may be entertaining, it should not be mistaken for absolute truth.

Angela Levin advises viewers to approach the show with caution, reminding them that it is not an accurate portrayal of the royal family's experiences.

As for Harry, it remains uncertain whether he will watch the series or stand up against the exploitation of his family's story.

A PR expert suggests that watching the recreation of his mother's death for entertainment purposes would be distressing for him.

Whether he chooses to watch or not, he is aware of what has been done and must decide how to address the situation with his paymasters at Netflix.

In conclusion, the controversy surrounding Netflix's portrayal of Princess Diana's final phone call and her tragic passing continues to stir emotions.

The ethical implications of profiting from personal tragedies are undeniable, and it is a matter that should be taken seriously.

As viewers, it is crucial to approach shows like The Crown with a critical eye and remember that the events depicted may not accurately reflect reality.
