Dominic West, from The Crown, acknowledges understanding of the show's criticism.

Dominic West, known for his role in "The Crown," has acknowledged the criticism surrounding the show's depiction of the British royal family. In the sixth and final season, the show dramatizes significant events such as Princess Diana's death. West, who portrayed Prince Charles, understands why some people find it too close to reality and how the pain is still raw. He admitted to contemplating this before accepting the role and continues to grapple with it. While he initially believed that the Royal Family was fair game, he now feels uncomfortable with the idea. "The Crown" has faced increasing backlash for using artistic liberties to portray private moments and sensitive events in the royal family's lives. Critics have described it as exploitative, intrusive, and clumsy. The show's depiction of Prince Harry's reaction to his mother's death has been particularly scrutinized as a breach of privacy. West acknowledges the discomfort people feel and recognizes that nobody's private life should be made public. Nonetheless, he trusted writer Peter Morgan, known for his expertise in drama, which made it easier for him to accept the role. Despite his conflicts, West couldn't resist playing the fascinating and complex character of Prince Charles. The decision was inevitable for him, as his wife jokingly pointed out the outcome. Overall, the final season received negative reviews from critics, who considered it a disappointing end to what was once a superb series.
