The Crown crew members blast decision to make Elizabeth Debicki lie in coffin and pretend to be DEAD

Crew members from Netflix’s The Crown were reportedly disgusted that actress Elizabeth Debicki was made to lie in an open coffin and pretend to be the dead Princess Diana.

Shocking scenes from the script for the next season of the drama may start a fresh row for the streaming giant.

The sixth season of the show will feature medics covered in blood trying to save Diana, a distraught Prince Charles after seeing the body and Prince William and Prince Harry at the funeral, The Sun reported.

There are fears over the impact the scenes of Princess Diana’s final moments before her fatal Paris car crash in 1997 will have on Prince William and Prince Harry.

Onlookers on set told The Sun that cast members visibly upset, one said: ‘They actually made Elizabeth climb into a coffin and play dead as Diana. Viewers will see a French priest administering the last rites for Diana as she is pronounced deceased.

‘Prince Charles enters the room and is in floods of tears. In his hysteria he notices that Diana is missing an earring. It is all he can focus on as grief envelops him.’

They added: ‘Princes William and Harry never saw their mother dead in a coffin and they shouldn’t have to watch this. Nor should the British public.’

Crew members are said to be concerned the scriptwriters and producers went over the top chasing ratings

One spectator said: ‘Everyone was very uncomfortable doing the shoot. It is obscene and should be banned from broadcast.’

The next season will show ‘sick’ scenes of Princess Diana lying on a table with frantic medics trying to save her.

Netflix crews film just moments before Princess Diana’s car crashed in Paris for The Crown

Netflix has insisted the ‘exact moment’ of the crash will not feature in the controversial drama, which has recently come under fire for sensationalism and inaccuracy.

A friend of Diana’s said the show’s makers could face accusations of ‘insensitivity’ over the filming in Paris. Debbie Frank, who was Diana’s astrologer, said it would be ‘terrible’ for Princes William and Harry to see a recreation of the moments leading up to their mother’s death.

‘It’s obviously terrible for Diana’s children to have to see that again. It’s insensitive,’ she said.

She added: ‘I feel Diana’s death and the crash was the biggest shock our generation. It had such a huge impact across the national psyche.

‘I guess the makers of The Crown feel they are entitled to show a re-enactment of scenes leading up to her death and that it has dramatic impact. But relatives would think otherwise.’

Ken Wharfe, Diana’s former bodyguard, told The Sun that William will find the scenes ‘repulsive’ and Charles will be ‘appalled’.

A spokesman for the Prince of Wales declined to comment to The Sun.
