The Crown producers promise to handle Princess Diana death delicately
The Crown producers have promised to handle the death of Princess Diana “delicately” and with sensitively in the upcoming, and final, season.
Executive producer Suzanne Mackie told the Edinburgh TV Festival: “The show might be big and noisy, but we’re not.
“We’re thoughtful people and we’re sensitive people.”
The show has faced a lot of backlash, especially over its approach to historical accuracy.
Season six is expected to arrive later this year.
The show will end with its sixth season after taking the story of the Royal Family to the years after Diana’s death – the princess died in a car crash in Paris in 1997.
“There was a very, very careful, long, long, long conversation about how we do it – and I hope, you know, the audience will judge it in the end, but I think it’s been delicately, thoughtfully recreated,” Mackie said.
Diana is played in the final two seasons by Elizabeth Debicki, who is an “extraordinary actress”, Mackie said.
“She was so thoughtful, considerate and loved Diana. So there was a huge amount of respect from us all. I hope that’s evident when you see it,” she told the festival on Thursday.
