This season of The Crown feels like it was made for people who are only half-watching because they are playing Wordle on their phone
The Crown review: Season six is awful garbage and scenes with Diana seem like guesswork

Elizabeth Debicki stars as Princess Diana in The Crown. Picture: Netflix

According to the sixth and final season of The Crown (Netflix), Diana’s ghost persuaded the Queen to leave Scotland for London and grieve for the former Princess. It wasn’t Tony Blair at all. He must be gutted.

I was gutted because season six is awful garbage. There were times when it felt like I was tied to the chair and forced to watch a made-for-TV movie about Princess Di, rushed out after her death in Paris in 1997. Stop watching, you might say – but this is The Crown, the best fusion of fact with fiction that we have ever seen on TV. Not any more.
