Netflix’s highly-anticipated series The Crown season five has attracted fresh criticism for its depiction of final years of Princess Diana before her death in Paris car crash. A close friend of late Princess of Wales has branded show as ‘cruel, sadistic and wicked’ for its insensitive portrayal of Diana’s tragic final moments.

Diana’s close friend Simone Simmons spoke to The Sun and slammed latest series of The Crown saying, “These are cruel, sadistic and wicked people to recreate these moments. They are lowest of low.”

Fifth season of royal drama set to premiere on November 9 on Netflix will feature haunting scenes showing Diana entering a limousine shortly before tragic accident in Paris’ Pont de l’Alma tunnel that killed Diana in 1997. “They are rewriting history as they go along and that’s what makes me very angry,” Simmons continued. She also slammed show as “disgusting and sick” and questioned if they were “setting out” to hurt feelings of Princes William and Harry.

“It’s forcing them to relive pain, agony and psychological torment they suffered when their mother died,” she said. Elizabeth Debicki will portray Princess Diana and Dominic West will play now King Charles in The Crown season five.–Agencies
