the crown season five's biggest
narrative point will be the inevitable
death of princess diana
if you had anything between your ears
other than self-obsession
you'd know public displays like that
horrifying everything i do seems to
horribly
increasingly yes but how will the show
handle such a tricky subject
princess diana's emma corrin inevitable
death will be a focal point for the
crown season five
but how will the netflix series tackle
such a sensitive subject i'd like to be
a queen of people's hearts in people's
hearts
but i don't see myself being queen this
country
the british drama based on the life of
the royal family
finally introduces the princess of wales
in its fourth season
with that comes diana's tumultuous
married life to prince charles josh
o'connor which ended in an ugly divorce
in 1996
all right not the woman you marry i
refuse to be blamed any longer for this
grotesque miss alliance
i wash my hands of it
the events of the crown season 4 take
place between 1979 and 1990
covering the beginning of the doomed
marriage of the prince and princess of
wales
it tackled their first meeting haphazard
engagement and everything that led to
the fairy tale wedding
although the show opted not to recreate
the ceremony itself
but fairy tales usually end at this
point
from there the crown continued to delve
into their tragic life as a married
couple
with charles continuously committing
adultery with camilla parker bowles
emerald fennell while diana struggled to
cope with the life she was saddled with
what made things worse was the royal
family's approach to the predicament
with queen elizabeth ii olivia coleman
so where do i fit in you fit in because
you're my wife
and
because
i love you
insisting they keep it together despite
how obviously irreparable their
relationship was
at the end of the crown season 4 prince
philip tobias menzies
makes a case for diana to stay in the
marriage with charles as the royal
family spends christmas together
a thirteen-year-old princess who would
one day become my wife
she chooses to follow her
father-in-law's advice eventually
dressing up and joining the rest of the
clan for the holiday celebrations
but despite her decision it's clear that
diana is far from being happy
unfortunately things are only going to
get worse for her come the crown season
five
season five's big storyline will be
diana's deet
each season of the crown covers around a
decade of events of the royal family's
history starting in 1947
with the marriage of queen elizabeth ii
and prince philip
with that the show will more likely
stick with the same format come season 5
with the series potentially tackling the
90s charles
i i can't
dizzy which had been famously tumultuous
for windsors
while there are other noteworthy crises
from the said decade including the
burning of the windsor castle it's safe
to say that the crumbling marriage of
charles and diana
will be a focal point leading to the
princess of wales tragic death in 1997.
it's arguably one of the most critical
points in queen elizabeth ii's reign as
it put her in the rest of the royal
family under blast for their handling of
the matter
it also reignited criticisms over their
treatment of diana over the years
aside from the immediate implications of
the princess of wales demise it
threatened charles's claim as the king
in waiting
as well with the public's perception of
him hitting an all-time low
laughing at me laughing in my face at
the end of the week in which half of
australia has also been booing me
i don't deserve this this is supposed to
be my tour
how the crown season 4 set up diana's
death
the crown may have reserved dealing with
diana's death until season five
but season four laid the foundation for
it since she started spending time with
charles and news broke out that there's
a possibility that she could be the
future queen of the united kingdom
the press continued to follow her every
move interest in her significantly
increased following her and charles's
royal tour to australia in 1983
where she was fully embraced by the
country
in real life this led to outlets being
even more curious about her
and potentially being invasive about her
private life knowing that stories about
her always
a queen of people's hearts in people's
hearts
but i don't see myself being queen this
country
i don't think many people would want me
to be queen actually when i see many
people
even after her split with charles diana
continued to be hounded by the media
which played a pivotal part in her
untimely demise in 1997.
while everyone is still waiting as to
how the crown season five will tackle
the sensitive issue
it may have dropped hint at the
narrative route that they're going for
the season four finale featured a tense
conversation between diana and prince
philip
wherein the duke of edinburgh warned his
daughter-in-law that insisting on
getting out of her marriage to charles
would not be a wise course of action
myself i wouldn't do that
why not let's just say i can't see it
ending well for you
diana quickly noted the subtle threat in
philip's words calling him out on it
not now out
this lends credence to a specific
conspiracy theory positing that the
royal family has something to do with
her accident
the biggest conspiracy theories on
diana's death
more than two decades since that fateful
night in paris princess diana's death
remains to be a controversial topic
due to some unclear specifics regarding
the crash that claimed her life
between that and ominous words from
diana herself the tragedy is a favorite
point of discussion for conspiracy
theorists
who are attempting to make sense of how
exactly the accident happened
some ideas that have circulated over the
years or so outlandish that most people
immediately dismiss them like diana
faking her own death to live a quiet
life away from the spotlight
then again there are a couple of
theories that have garnered a following
due to their perceived plausibility
when talking about prominent conspiracy
theories about how diana died
among the most popular ones is that the
mi6 was behind the crash
followers of this concept chalk it up to
a number of coincidences that would
supposedly help the british secret
service to make a clean hit on diana
such as the busted cameras in that
particular road segment
that make it difficult to ascertain what
really happened when the princess's car
entered the tunnel
sometimes this idea is taken one step
further by involving the royal family in
the accident
over the years diana's repeated words
about how her former family in law will
ultimately cause her death
fueled this idea something that was
hinted at in the crown season 4 finale
especially since she was apparently set
to become engaged with her muslim
boyfriend
dodie fade who was also killed in the
crash the crown has to pick a side
regardless of what really happened the
night princess diana died it's clear
that the public still has unresolved
issues about it
if anything her death remains relevant
now more than ever
with the media's treatment of her and
the windsor's lackluster effort to do
anything about it
drawing comparisons to meghan markle
duchess of sussex's current experience
as a dramatization of the royal family's
life the crown needs to pick a side as
to whether or not they're actually
involved in the accident
that way the netflix show provides the
closure that everyone can get from the
series
but more likely not in the real world
that's the only way that the crown can
move forward with its sixth and final
season
without being continuously haunted by
the death of diana
