Prince Harry and Prince William may respond to the “weird” portrayal of the late Princess Diana in the next series of Netflix’s The Crown.

One royal expert claims that the late royal’s two sons may be forced to comment on the “bizarre” way in which the show has decided to portray their late mother.

It has recently been revealed that the late princess will be shown as a ghost in one scene in the upcoming series, which is the final one of the entire show.

Describing the scene as “utterly tasteless”, royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams said: “It is pitiful that someone with his [the show creator Peter Morgan] skills has reduced what is undoubtedly a tragedy to something that he knows perfectly well will be controversial.

“The idea that he has scripted a ghostly figure of the mother of Prince William and Harry is obviously tasteless and the whole concept, whatever the ghost says or does, seems utterly bizarre.”

Speaking to the MailOnline, Mr Fitzwilliams said: “The idea that they have even contemplated Diana as a ghost seems absolutely weird.”

Although he believes that King Charles will remain silent, the expert claims that William and Harry could voice what they think.

This comes after both of them criticised the BBC in 2021 over Martin Bashir’s 1995 Panorama interview with their mother.

He said: “We may well hear what they think of the portrayal, but the trouble is if they do make a statement it will only add to the hype surrounding The Crown and there you have a problem.”

The expert continued: “If Prince William or Prince Harry were to comment on this it would make headlines and even more people would watch it than they intended to.

“Whether they would watch such a thing, I have no idea of course.

“The King will make absolutely no comment at all. I think the Royal Family decided long ago what they think of The Crown – that it seems to have totally forsaken taste.”

In addition to Mr Fitzwilliams comments, brand and culture expert Nick Ede said: “The producers have said the Diana ghost portrays ‘visualisations of innermost thoughts’ but of course this will be quite triggering and could cause distress.

“William and Harry I am sure will also find this difficult to acknowledge as they have no idea what Diana was feeling and where her emotions were during that time so this factional drama becomes one of fantasy and speculation which could appal the pair as it changes the narrative of the memory of their beloved mother.”

The final series will be released in two parts, with the first airing on November 16. The second part will be released on December 14.

Appearing as a ghost, Diana tells Charles: “Thank you for how you were in the hospital. So raw, broken – and handsome. I’ll take that with me. You know I loved you so much. So deeply, so painfully too. That’s over now. It will be easier for everyone with me gone.”
