King Charles once watched the Netflix hit "The Crown" about the life of Queen Elizabeth II and the British royal family, but stopped watching it because it was "too gripping" about his marriage to his first wife, the late Princess Diana, the Daily Express The Daily Express" reported that he stopped watching it because it was "too gory" about his marriage to his first wife, the late Princess Diana.

The paper reports that "the King, one of the few members of the royal family said to have been involved in the controversial Netflix series," "stopped watching" after "sensitive events in his relationship with the late Princess Diana [played] out on screen. Season 4 depicts the 1980s, when Prince Charles married Diana in 1981, had two sons with her in 1982 and 1984, and eventually resumed his affair with his longtime friend Camilla Parker-Bowles, which undoubtedly caused tension between the two. Season 5, released this week, covers the 1990s, when the Welsh couple's marriage ultimately fell apart, separating in 1992 and eventually divorcing in 1996.

Royal family expert Katie Nichol asked True Royalty TV about the royal family's interest in The Crown while researching her latest film, The New Royals." (The Queen) is absolutely aware of these shows and movies and had no intention of watching any of them herself, but other members of the royal family have watched episodes," she said. 'I am told that Camilla has seen them all as well. I'll have to keep you posted on whether Camilla has watched this latest series. Charles watched this series and stopped watching after the last series. Judging from Harry's comments, he has definitely seen it.

Harry, of course, along with his wife Meghan Markle, have signed a multi-million dollar deal with a streaming service to produce the content. Harry and his wife's first film, a documentary about their life together, will be released early next year.

In Season 5, Charles will be played by Dominic West and Elizabeth Debicki will play Diana. Perhaps the most criticized element is The Crown's dramatization of Princess Diana's BBC Panorama interview," reported the Daily Express, which took place in 1995, when journalist Martin Bashir apparently fabricated documents to gain access to then Princess Diana. It was revealed that he fabricated documents in order to get close to the then Princess Diana, which was later found to be a violation of "integrity" guidelines.

In Season 5, the interview itself, and the fallout from the interview, will all be depicted, frustrating members of the royal family, especially Princess Diana's sons, William and Harry.

"That interview contributed greatly to the deterioration of my parents' relationship and has since hurt countless people," William said in 2021. It is my firm opinion that this 'Panorama' program has no legitimacy and should never be aired again. It has effectively established a false narrative that has been commercialized by the BBC and others for over a quarter of a century." [The interview with Jonathan Dimbleby, also depicted in The Crown, was recorded the year before, in 1994.
