"The Crown's Dramatic License Criticized Over Princess Diana's Death"
The Crown's portrayal of Princess Diana's death has been criticized by the Queen's former press secretary, Dickie Arbiter, for lacking sensitivity and taking dramatic license. Arbiter specifically criticized scenes involving Prince Charles breaking the news to their sons and interactions between Charles and the Queen. He also debunked scenes related to Diana's funeral preparations. Arbiter suggested that Netflix should include a disclaimer to clarify that the series is heavily embellished. The Crown's creator, Peter Morgan, has acknowledged infusing "acts of imagination" with real-life events.
