Netflix assures viewers that The Crown will not feature Diana’s death on screen

It is a sad point in history that is still felt today. Fans of the beautiful Princess Diana are still mourning the tragic and untimely loss of the beloved Queen. It’s still tough, especially for those closest to her, including her sons Prince William and Prince Harry, who are 40 and 38 respectively.

Princess Diana was just 36 when she died in a car crash in Paris on August 31, 1997 when the driver was trying to flee the paparazzi. It’s no secret how much the Princess of Wales was adored, but unfortunately that also meant constant paparazzi attention that got out of control.

It’s one of the most painful moments in history as the former king was a popular figure around the world. Because of this, Netflix won’t be directly depicting the heartbreaking moment on-screen.
