Part one of the final season of “The Crown” dropped on Nov. 16 and portrayed Dodi Fayed and Princess Dianas’ 1997 deaths.
The first part of “The Crown’s” highly-anticipated final season dropped on Netflix this week, with viewers tuning in to see how the series would portray the days before Princess Diana’s tragic death.
The beloved royal died alongside her boyfriend, Dodi Fayed, in a car crash on Aug. 31 1997, just weeks after they began a whirlwind love affair.
“The Crown” shows Dodi’s father, Mohamed Al-Fayed (played by Palestinian actor Salim Daw) as having a hand in manufacturing their relationship in an effort to secure himself British citizenship.
However, experts are unimpressed by the show’s producers painting the former Harrod’s owner as a villain.
Royal expert Robert Jobson told Newsweek recently that “it’s disrespectful and it’s easy to attack the dead.”
Mohamed died on Aug. 30 this year at the age of 94 — almost 26 years to the day that Diana and Dodi perished.
When asked about claims that Mohamed may have manufactured his son’s romance with the princess, Jobson said: “I don’t think it’s true but I think Mohamed would have tried to manipulate the situation because he was a canny old f–ker.
