The Crown recreates Princess Diana’s deadly car crash, Internet unhappy

British web series The Crown recently recreated the scene of Princess Diana’s death that was caused by a car crash at the Pont de l'Alma tunnel in Paris, France. The crash was recreated for the sixth season of The Crown using a crash prop car, which is attracting backlash online. Princess Diana’s car crash took place in a Mercedes S-Class in 1997 and caused her tragic passing. The role of Princess Diana is played by actor Elizabeth Debicki.

The images from the recreated car crash came from The Daily Mail UK. According to the set images, the prop Mercedes S-Class was transported to Paris in secret and marked the second vehicle brought to the French capital for filming in the last year. Many fans expressed their outrage over the recreation for The Crown, despite Netflix previously announcing that they would not recreate it back in October. 

I don’t think we need to see the Princess Diana crash scenes in the Crown. We have all seen them before, it’s imprinted in our minds. There needs to be some respect shown. #ThisMorning
