Is new series of The Crown any more accurate than the rest? Decoding fact from fiction in season 6 - from Tony Blair lobbying the Queen on behalf of Diana to the late royal's 'engagement' to Dodi Faye

Daily Mail  

As The Crown returns for its final series on Netflix, it will cover royal events that took place in the not-too-distant memory - but how closely will art imitate life? Verdict: False Episode 2: Queen's private secretary discusses 'concerns' regarding Diana and Dodi's relationship Storyline During a summit at the Palace in episode 2, royal aides gather with the family to discuss their concerns over Diana and Dodi's relationship As members of the royal family and officials gather for a meeting at Buckingham Palace, they discuss Princess Diana's relationship with Dodi Fayed, the son of Egyptian billionaire Mohamed Al-Fayed. Facts Prince Harry and Prince William have largely remained silent on Princess Diana's relationship with Dodi after they spent a week with him on the Jonikal yacht in St Tropez - however Harry said in his memoir that he and his older brother thought the Egyptian film producer was 'a pretty nice guy' Prince William and Prince Harry remained largely tight-lipped about their late mother's relationship with Dodi Fayed for most of their lives, but in Prince Harry's memoir, Spare, released in January this year, he revealed some details. Verdict: False Episode 4: William is present when Harry is told of his mother's death Storyline After Diana's death, Prince Charles tells his sons, who are staying at Balmoral, the terrible news. Verdict: False Episode 4: The Queen and Prince Philip argue Princess Diana should not have a state funeral, but Charles insists upon it Storyline Following Diana's death, the royal family discusses her funeral and the Queen and Prince Philip suggest the affair is a matter for the Spencer family After Charles returns from Paris, where he had travelled to retrieve Diana's body, he discusses her funeral with his parents.
