The whole world stopped to watch the series ‘The Crown’which follows the history of the British crown since the coronation of Queen Elizabeth, or Betinha, for the people on social media.
Recently, the first part of the 6th season of the series arrived on Netflix, to the delight of the public.
She also generated controversy by making a peculiar choice involving Princess Diana, thus compromising the impact of the series in its final season.
As the continuous representation of British Royal Family unfolds, it becomes increasingly susceptible to criticism with each new chapter.
As the timeline of ‘The Crown’ approaches most viewers’ recent memory, the need to approach certain topics with sensitivity becomes even more evident.
Therefore, the decision seems to have shaken the public that talks about the history of the Royal Family.

The decision that may have detonated ‘The Crown’
The point is that this 6th season maintains the presence of Princess Diana even after his death, approaching the tragic accident with graceful restraint, after all, everyone knows what happened.
The scenes avoid showing explicit images of the collision, focusing instead on the chaos caused by the paparazzi and the distressing emergency call.
The season makes a peculiar decision by allowing Diana to reappear to other characters through cameos, clearly reinforcing that she is a ghost.
In one scene, Diana appears alongside Charles on the royal jet, expressing her love for him and suggesting that it will probably be easier for everyone with her out of the way.
Another scene reinforces this interpretation, as Diana appears to the Queen Elizabethcommunicating exactly what she needs to hear, without the coldness that defined their relationship in life.
‘The Crown’ creator Peter Morgan says these encounters mean Diana still lives on in the memories of those left behind.
The decision to have Diana reappear after her death, while bold, ultimately hurts the series, as ‘The Crown’ fails to reflect the brutality of her departure.
This creates a gap between the characters’ experience and that of the viewer, who sees it over and over again, which feels unwarranted for a generally naturalistic series.
Many even believe that it was not necessary to do this, especially because Princess Diana’s death is surrounded by theories and mysteries, in addition to her being widely favored by the British.
So, in theory, the Princess was never forgotten. However, the way they portrayed the character as a ghost undermines the entire dynamic of the story. series.
