Prince Harry ‘more likely to watch new Diana scenes in The Crown than William

The Crown: Season 6 preview

Prince Harry is more likely to watch the latest season of The Crown than Prince William, King Charles’s former butler has claimed.

The first part of The Crown’s sixth and final season landed on Netflix on November 16 and it features the last months of Princess Diana’s life leading up to her death.

Now former royal butler Grant Harrold stated both Harry and William will want to watch the season “out of curiosity”, saying “it will hurt”.

Speaking on behalf of Slingo, he said: “I honestly think they would watch the scenes out of curiosity.

“It was a huge moment of their lives and I think they would be too curious not to watch it. If it was a programme about me, I would need to see it.

“I think Harry is more likely to watch it than William, and I believe it will be hard for them to watch it. It will be a case of reflection on that time, which is going to hurt.”

The late Princess of Wales died in the early hours of August 31, 1997, following a car crash in Paris.

Harrold added that Charles did wait until the morning to tell William and Harry the tragic news of their mother’s death, just like it was depicted in the show.

He said: “In the show, they were woken up in the early hours – and that would have happened quite quickly after it was confirmed. That seemed to be pretty accurate. I know from being with the family at Balmoral they will be told important things in the night, and I can imagine they were alerted as soon as possible.

“Charles did wait until the morning to tell William and Harry and that was probably the right thing to do to handle it sensitively for them. I can believe that happening in real life.”

Prince Harry has previously talked about watching The Crown.

In January 2023, the Duke of Sussex admitted that he’d watched the Netflix series.

He said when asked about season five: “Yes, I have actually watched The Crown—the older stuff and the more recent stuff.”

Harry also talked about The Crown on The Late Late Show With James Corden in 2021, saying the show is “loosely based on the truth.”

A few months later during the same year the prince was asked again about the series while on Dax Shepard’s The Armchair Expert podcast.

The royal joked: “I’ve seen elements of it…I hear it’s very popular.”
