Princess Diana’s friend Jemima Khan has severed ties with the Crown

British television producer Jemima Khan, who was a close friend of Princess Diana, has severed ties with The crown on the portrayal of the late princess in season five.

Khan said Sunday Times that she was enlisted by series creator Peter Morgan to check out the scripts for the fifth season, which will chronicle the final years of Diana’s life. But she also told the newspaper that she later quit her role on the show because she felt her friend’s later years were not portrayed “with respect or compassion.”

“We worked together on the plan and scripts from September 2020 to February 2021,” Khan told the Times, before explaining that she felt uncomfortable with the creative direction the show was taking and withdrew. “When our co-writing agreement was not honored and I realized that this particular story wouldn’t necessarily be told with as much respect or compassion as I had hoped, I asked that all of my contributions be removed from the series and I declined credit. “

The series supposedly portrayed Diana controversial BBC Panorama interview in 1995 with Martin Bashir, his public divorce from Prince Charles and his relationship with heart surgeon Hasnat Khan and Egyptian film producer Dodi Fayed, who died alongside him in August 1997.

Elizabeth Debicki will reprise the role of Diana from actress Emma Corrin, who played her in season four. Dodi Fayed will be played by Khalid Abdalla, while Salim Daw will play his billionaire father Mohamed Al-Fayed, by Variety. Dominic West is reprising the role of Charles from Josh O’Connor.
