Netflix’s The Crown Accused of Falsifying How Princess Diana and Dodi Fayed’s Romance Started

The first half of the final season of The Crown just dropped, and already the Netflix historical drama is coming under fire again, this time for taking liberties with how Princess Diana and Dodi Fayed’s relationship started. Created by Peter Morgan, the initial episodes of the final season of The Crown hint that Diana and Dodi’s relationship was coaxed along by Mohamed Al-Fayed, Dodi’s father, and an Egyptian business mogul who had aspirations of obtaining British citizenship.However, the idea that Al-Fayed had anything to do with Diana and Dodi’s relationship was refuted in 1997, and now Michael Cole, Al-Fayed’s former spokesperson, has spoken to Deadline to further refute the allegations.
