Many think not. Even before the 10-episode series streams on Nov. 9, former prime minister John Major claimed that a plotline suggesting he was privy to a plot by Prince Charles to have his mother abdicate so he could wear the crown sooner than later was"a barrel-load of nonsense."Prince William reportedly bristled that his parents, Charles and Diana, are shown verbally abusing each other.
She has good reason. Her husband Prince Philip, played by Jonathan Pryce in the performance of his career, gently but firmly lays out the reasons why their marriage isn't working. In Price's hands, the famously remote Philip, who died last year, displays unexpected humor and heart. He isn't kidding."There were three of us in this marriage, so it was a bit crowded," said Diana, referring to Camilla. The series recreates the"revenge dress" that Diana wore in retaliation. But it's Debicki, in a shattering portrayal of mental fragility and hard-won strength, who brings us closest to the People's Princess who never had a chance.
