The BBC could face further trouble from the royals after the Crown filmed its portrayal of the aftermath to the controversial interview of Princess Diana with Martin Bashir at New Broadcasting House. It was done amid the controversy with the Firm regarding The Princes and the Press.
Here are the most recent photos of Richard Cordery (71), playing Marmaduke, former Chairman of Board of Governors, in the Netflix drama.
The actor was photographed outside of the BBC’s headquarters in a navy suit with a red tie. Produces may be filming footage of events which followed the controversial Panorama interview Princess Diana gave to Martin Bashir in 1995.
It is believed that the scene was recreated after Lord Hussey visited during the fallout from the programme, in which Diana declared: “There were three of you in this marriage.”
Fifth series of The Crown, the television show that will feature the story of the royal family through the 1990s. After losing a leg during the Second World War, Lord Hussey was only 21 years old when he was made BBC chairman. He served two terms until he retired in 1996.
The Netflix series The Crown has been known to bend facts in order to fit its story. While some artistic license is normal, critics are outraged at the rewriting and altering of history and relationships.
