The latest season of The Crown has unleashed a storm of controversy, with Princess Diana portrayed as a haunting ghost. Despite stellar performances, Season 6, part 1, stands at a low 55% on Rotten Tomatoes, a far cry from the acclaimed Season 4's 96%. Critics voice displeasure for various reasons, including the generous portrayal of the monarchy and the disturbing depiction of Diana's death.

The Crown's tendency to humanize the Royal Family and its divisive portrayal draw scrutiny. Season 6's focus on Diana's impending tragedy weakens the series, deviating from its usual authenticity. The diminishing presence of Queen Elizabeth II and perceived lack of chemistry in Season 6, part 1, add fuel to the criticism.

As controversy rages, hope rests on Season 6, part 2, to steer back to Buckingham Palace and recapture the storytelling that defined The Crown. Will the ghostly portrayal of Diana linger, or can the series reclaim its majestic allure? Only time will tell in this royal drama. 👑
