The former Royal correspondent also said that the late Queen Elizabeth was a fan
The new series of The Crown on Netflix, which depicts the late Princess Diana as a ghost, is “as tasteless as I thought it was going to be” according to Royal expert Jennie Bond.
She said on GB News: “In my view, it has not come off and it is tasteless, as tasteless as I thought it was going to be.
“When I first heard that he [writer Peter Morgan] was going to portray Diana as a ghost, I honestly thought it was a sick joke, but it isn't. It's just sick.
“My heart goes out to William and Harry because I can't imagine how they feel, knowing that their mother's being brought back in this way - I mean how would anyone feel having their relatively recently dead mother portrayed on screen for the delectation and entertainment of the world? It's sick.”
Asked by Richard Tice if the quality of the drama had deteriorated, she continued: “Yeah, I mean it in the beginning I liked it, everything is terrifically glossy, it's so well acted. And the script in the beginning was quite good…
“I thought they were interesting, and actually I think the Queen quite enjoyed them, the late Queen.
“I understand that she used to watch it on Sunday evenings. It was projected on to a screen in one of her rooms there and I think she quite liked it.”
She added: “Her granddaughter Princess Eugenie was overheard saying, ‘Granny loves it’.”
