The 62-year-old told ITV’s Lorraine: ‘I think it’s the best series yet. It is spectacular.
‘This is just a peek behind the doors of Buckingham Palace, that perhaps the palace don’t want you to see. It’s a fair and accurate dramatisation of what happened.’
He praised Emma’s ‘stellar’ portrayal of Diana, adding: ‘I watch it from profile and I think it is her.
‘I think she has got it exactly. Her mannerisms and the way she talks. I am feeling it again. I am feeling her personality being dismantled behind the scenes by these people who don’t really care.
‘They didn’t take care of her. They didn’t give her praise. She only got negativity. She became a victim.’
