Alright, let's dive into the world of The Crown, the Netflix series that has captivated millions. In Season 6, we get a front-row seat to one of the most talked-about love stories of our time: Princess Diana and Dodi Fayed. Now, the show has a knack for blending fact with fiction, so let's break down what they got right and where they took some creative liberties.
Princess Diana's Romantic Getaway on the Jonikal
Remember those iconic images of Princess Diana cruising on the Jonikal? Well, the show did an incredible job recreating those moments. However, here's the twist: Italian photographer Mario Brenna, who captured those famous photos, calls the show's suggestion that he was hired by Mohamed Fayed "absurd." It seems the series took some artistic license to heighten the drama. Brenna was, in fact, on a routine assignment when he stumbled upon the royal romance.
Camilla's 50th Birthday Bash
Now, let's talk about Camilla's 50th birthday celebration. The show portrays the Queen declining the invitation, suggesting it would be seen as an endorsement of Charles and Camilla's relationship. But here's the kicker—Princess Margaret supposedly attended, which adds another layer to the story. However, in reality, there's no evidence that Margaret was even there. It seems the writers wanted to stir the pot a little more than the history books did.

Balmoral Photo Shoot: A Royal Response
When those infamous photos of Diana and Dodi hit the front pages, Charles was quick to respond with a photo of his own. In the series, we see Charles posing with his sons in Scotland, seemingly unfazed by the media storm. But in reality, there were around 40 members of the press present, not just one lone photographer as depicted in the show. This discrepancy highlights how the series amplifies certain moments for dramatic effect.
Queen Elizabeth's Grief: A Nation Watches
As the world mourned the tragic death of Princess Diana, Queen Elizabeth faced immense pressure over how to publicly respond. The show accurately captures her initial reluctance and the subsequent criticism she faced. However, one scene where William, then 15, supposedly wandered the Balmoral estate for hours, doesn't quite line up with reality. This creative choice by the writers adds an emotional depth to William's character but stretches the truth a bit.
