The role of Diana was played by British actress Emma Corrin, who won Critics Choice, Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild awards for her performance.Īn element of the performance that attracted criticism was the portrayal of the princess's eating disorder as well as the many historical inaccuracies identified throughout the season.Īs a result the then-secretary for digital, media, culture and sport in the U.K., Oliver Dowden, told the Mail on Sunday that "Netflix should make it clear at the very beginning" the series is a work of fiction as "without this, I fear a generation of viewers who did not live through these events may mistake fiction for fact." The Crown's fourth season provoked both praise and criticism for its portrayal of Princess Diana's introduction to the royal family as well as the eventual breakdown of her marriage. Season 4 of the show was released in November 2021 and saw Olivia Colman conclude her two-season arc playing the monarch before handing the role over to Imelda Staunton, who will conclude the series. The show charts the major events that have occurred throughout the reign of Queen Elizabeth II, including both public and private dramas. The Crown is one of Netflix's most successful series with the show due to air its highly anticipated fifth season in November. The announcement follows a casting call released in March seeking two actors to play teenage princes William and Harry for the same season. The portrayal of Kate aged 18 would place her at university in Scotland, where she and Prince William first met. Please pass the word to any budding young actors! See Notice attached.
