The "Crown" series on Netflix continues to frustrate many members of the British royal family, who have little interest in the half-truth and half-truth "historical drama". On Nov. 15, Prince William may find a new reason to be annoyed by the streamer's "free act of shooting."
In 1994, at an annual charity event hosted by Vanity Fair, Princess Diana appeared in a strapless dress that came to be known as the "Revenge Dress," shockingly exposing her shoulders and legs. For the Princess of Wales, wearing this dress is undoubtedly a revolution, as this dress designed by Christina Stabolian does not meet the royal dress requirements. So why did she wear it that night?
According to the well-known clothing magazine Mary Claire later reported, this was only out of revenge, because Harry and William's mother had just heard the news of Prince Charles and Camilla's "extramarital affair": "Many people thought that she would cancel the appearance that night and would not come, but she came, not only came, but also appeared in this very beautiful dress, so she did not say a word, and made an important statement about the matter." ”
Now, "the dress and the scene from Diana's then appearance in the London Serpentine Gallery will be recreated in The Crown." Because the Australian actress Elizabeth Debiki, who plays Diana, will repeat that historic moment for fans of the show. ”
It will be filmed under William's nose
According to royal experts, Prince William might have been upset if he had seen the scene. It even annoyed him. Because the "Crown" producers asked the 31-year-old Debiki to repeat the scene where it first happened, in Kensington Gardens, allegedly just half a mile (800 meters) from the front door of the Cambridge Duke's mansion.
While the producers of the Netflix series have announced their intention to spend an episode in Season Five about Princess Diana interviewing journalist Martin Battle on the BBC's Panorama programme, ignoring the desire of Diana's sons to see the show disappear, the scene will be another slap in the face for the future king. Like many members of the royal family, he grew tired of Netflix's continued filming of their family's life in "The Crown."
A source familiar with the television business told The Sun: "They could choose any location to recreate the scene, but they chose a place that would almost allow William to see from his bedroom window. "Imagine if he saw it," he said, pausing and continuing: "People also want to know how they got permission to use the Royal Park to shoot a particularly dramatic moment, and the royals were deeply unhappy about it." But even more troubling is that The Crown was allowed to be filmed in a park that was also Home of Prince William. "
In this regard, some netizens asked, is this enough to prompt the royal family to file a lawsuit? According to a separate report in The Sun, the British royal family is contacting lawyers to sue Netflix for the above situation.
