fatal 1997 accident is surprisingly tasteful – but, as the show circles back to this topic later on, it becomes ludicrous. After that first scene, “The Crown” then jumps back to “8 weeks earlier,” as Diana takes moody teen Prince William (Rufus Kampa) and a childishly enthusiastic Prince Harry (Fflyn Edwards) on vacation in St.
Tropez, with Dodi Al-Fayed (Khalid Abdalla). Diana and Dodi’s romance is depicted as warm friendship, with some hugs and kisses — no tawdry sex scenes.
However, Dodi’s manipulative father, Mohamed “Mou Mou” Al-Fayed (Salim Daw), is portrayed like a soap-opera villain, asking his staff for updates on whether Dodi and the Princess “are intimate” (a maid confirms that they sleep in “one room, one bed”). Meanwhile, Queen Elizabeth II (Imelda Staunton) is chilly and austere, Prince Philip (Jonathan Pryce) doesn’t have much to do, and Prince Charles (Dominic West) is concerned with making everyone – from the public to his mother – like Camilla Parker Bowles (Olivia Williams).In other words, same old, same old.This part of the story is a snooze, and it feels like the show is just spinning its wheels until it gets to the good stuff.
For better or for worse, the tragic end of Princess Diana’s life is the main event, and everything else feels like stalling. (There’s also a focus on Dodi’s relationship with his father, which also feels like a distraction and is full of tired lines like Dodi asking his dad to, “See me for who I am.”)As the third episode gets into Diana’s final night alive, the show tip-toes around it.The crash itself is off-camera – the screen cuts to black, and Diana’s body isn’t shown onscreen (Dodi doesn’t get that same consideration, as his corpse is shown in the morgue).The sound cuts

tragic deaths — are again resurfacing thanks to the sixth and final season of “The Crown” on Netflix.

story came to a close with the first part of Season 6 of “The Crown.” The first four episodes of the final season dropped earlier this month — and detailed her love affair with Egyptian billionaire Dodi Fayed (Khalid Abdalla), their untimely deaths and Dodi’s relationship with his father, Mohamed al-Fayed.However, the royal drama seems to be chock-full of historical inaccuracies — according to BBC correspondent and Mohamed’s onetime spokesman Michael Cole.Cole told the Sun how the show’s “malicious” scenes are hurtful to the reputations of the Princess of Wales (Elizabeth Debicki) and the film producer. The two died in a car crash in Paris in August 1997.Cole insisted that producers of the series did “not respect Diana” and that the show is “a travesty of the truth” and portrays the couple’s serious romance as a short rendezvous.“It’s the complete opposite [of the truth], and completely cruel, and unnecessarily so, and they’ve got it wrong, because … it’s drama,” he said, adding that Diana and Dodi were “in love.”Mohamed (Salim Daw) is presented as a matchmaker between his son and the princess, appearing as a villain trying to savagely get them together for his personal gain.But this was far from real life.

Happy Holidays to you and yours.
