The Crown claims Diana was addicted to drama and scandal – but is the condition real?
Princess Diana is soaking up the sun on a super yacht in the south of France. “It’s a little mad, if I’m honest,” she tells her worried therapist, Susie Orbach, who’s on the other end of the phone. Diana’s voice is slow and sloaney. She idly waves at her lover Dodi Fayed in the distance. It’s a rare moment of calm in episode three, season six of Netflix’s The Crown.
In Diana (Elizabeth Debicki) has the paparazzi on her tail constantly. She’s competing for press attention with Charles (Dominic West) and Camilla (Olivia Williams) – but at the same time resenting it. Dodi (Khalid Abdalla) has declared his undying love to her with a cheesy poem he wrote. The world is watching Diana’s every move.
