In the new season The Crown sees a young Lady Di (played by Emma Corrin), who lives her love story with Prince Charles (Josh o\'Connor), at a time when Margaret Thatcher (Gillian Anderson) directed without wavering the fate of the British in the difficult years of the Cold War.

In this last season (one of the most anticipated) the romance of Prince Charles with the young Diana Spencer becomes the focus of attention. Then that romance turns into a troubled relationship.

Emma Corrin is in charge of bringing that sweet and shy Lady Di to life in a season that continues several weeks after its premiere among the most watched on the Netflix platform and that has generated some friction with the British royalty that she has requested on several occasions. that the series insists on clarifying that it is a fiction.

For its part, the platform did not give much more thought to the matter and went out to cross the order. "We have always presented The Crown as a drama, and we have every confidence that our members understand that it is a work of fiction that is largely based on historical events," a Netflix spokesperson told Variety earlier this week.
