A young Prince William blames his father for Diana’s death in the latest series of The Crown, which was released this morning. 

The first newly aired episode of the Peter Morgan show features a tense conversation between the father and son, when the now-Prince of Wales – played by Ed McVey – visits Windsor. 

Charles, who is portrayed by Dominic West, can be seen asking his eldest why he’s ‘angry with him’, which the stubborn teenager initially denies – before admitting that his father ‘never talks’ about Diana.

‘Why on earth would you think I wouldn’t want that?’ Charles questions.

‘Perhaps because you don’t like to be reminded how we got to this point,’ William replies.

‘Don’t you think there might be a connection between where we all are now and your part in it?’

Charles appears aghast at the accusation, and says that his ex-wife’s death was ‘a terrible tragedy caused by one irresponsible man drinking too much and then getting behind the wheel of a car and driving too fast to escape from photographers’. 

‘Which you and I both know she often encouraged,’ he adds.

William then pushes on to stress that the fact that Diana was in Paris without any royal protection, which his father says was ‘not his doing’.

The young prince then goes on to say that Diana ‘should never have been anywhere near the Fayads’.

‘She should have been safe with us and the fact that she wasn’t – is your fault,’ he continued.

‘I know you didn’t actually drive the car but you drove her into the arms of this that did – but making her so unhappy. By loving someone else.’ 

The final six episodes of The Crown, which are released on Netflix today, will introduce actress Meg Bellamy as Kate Middleton alongside Ed McVey who plays William and Luther Ford as Prince Harry.

Pictures form the show, released earlier, show William and Kate sharing a heartfelt moment at university, while another depicts one of William and Harry’s ski trips with their father, Prince Charles.

One scene, made all the more poignant due to their current estrangement, shows a young William and Harry having a drink and a laugh together.

Earlier this month, following the release of the first four episodes of series six, Netflix teased a clip of Meg Bellamy and Ed McVey recreating Prince William and Kate Middleton’s first kiss at a university event, in the trailer for part two of the royal show.

The final instalment of the big-budget royal drama, which has drawn criticism for scenes depicting the run up to and aftermath of Princess Diana’s death in Paris, will focus on the young royals.

Storylines include Prince William trying to integrate into life at Eton in the wake of his mother’s death as the monarchy has to ride the wave of public opinion.

The show also faced fresh criticism for reinforcing negative stereotypes about private schools.

The chief executive of the Independent Schools Council, Julie Robinson, said that Netflix’s portrayal of the elite institutions in the drama series is affecting the public’s perception.

Ms Bellamy won the role of Kate when she submitted a self-taped audition after producers put out an opening casting role for the role.

Announcing the casting on Instagram last September, she wrote: ‘Pinch me please… So excited to announce that I will be playing Kate Middleton in Series 6 of Netflix’s The Crown.

‘It is such an honour to be joining the most incredible cast and crew and I will strive to do Kate justice.’

And since landing the role and becoming a rising star in the acting world, Meg has also become hot property among designers; with some of the most prestigious fashion houses in the world scrambling to dress her.

She has been seen in the front row of shows at Paris Fashion Week, and has made her own red carpet appearances in show-stopping outfits from designers including Stella McCartney, Cartier and Dior.

It seems the 21-year-old is following in the footsteps of her on-screen character, the Princess of Wales, who is undoubtedly a style icon – but in contrast to Kate’s recent business-chic wardrobe, Meg is carving out her own image.

Typically, she opts for sleek black outfits with the occasional pop of colour. Most recently, she oozed glamour as she donned a daring black Stella McCartney cocktail dress to attend a premiere of The Crown in LA; which featured a plunging neckline and diamanté detailing.

The Daily Mail recently revealed that Meg has signed a deal to become the new face of Dior, as she often shows off the French fashion house’s designs in public appearances. 

A Netflix insider told the paper: ‘They have been queuing up for Meg, she is playing the most famous woman in the world in a globally famous television drama, so many labels and brands want some of that. 

‘She is a total unknown, but she is being treated like Kate, an A-list princess.’
