The actress unflinchingly tackles Diana’s post-marriage isolation, subsequent self-harm and bulimia, to the extent that every episode featuring the People’s Princess is prefaced with a content warning. Why Emma Corrin’s life will never be the same after The Crown Netflix’s drama also follows Prince Margaret as she investigates her... https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/celebrity/article/3113868/netflixs-crown-exposed-princess-diana-and-uk-royal?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/celebrity/article/3113868/netflixs-crown-exposed-princess-diana-and-uk-royal?utm_source=rss_feed Mon, 14 Dec 2020 10:00:09 +0000 The 2020 US Presidential Election has indisputably been one of the most divisive in modern history – and that goes for its celebrity onlookers, too.
