Emma Corrin’s portrayal of Diana, Princess of Wales, has won praiseThe latest series of The Crown has been criticised by a former Buckingham Palace press secretary, who says that it portrays characters “I don’t know”. Dickie Arbiter, who worked for the Queen from 1988 until 2000, said that the fourth series of the Netflix drama was full of “wooden characters” and portrays the Prince of Wales unfairly. The series sees the introduction of the Princess of Wales, played by Emma Corrin, and Margaret Thatcher, portrayed by Gillian Anderson. Mr Arbiter, a former media manager for the prince and princess, told Times Radio yesterday: “It’s not a documentary, it’s not history. It’s a drama and it’s taken dramatic licence excessively and it’s made the Prince of Wales a villain.
