"The Crown's Controversial Depiction of Princess Diana's Isolation"

In episode 2 of The Crown season 6, titled "Two Photographs," the focus is on Princess Diana and the paparazzi. The episode portrays Diana as a sitting duck, unaware of the machinations of Mohamed Al-Fayed, who hires a ruthless photographer to capture intimate photos of Diana and his son, Dodi. Meanwhile, Diana's humanitarian work in Bosnia is overshadowed by the scandalous photos published in the newspapers. The royal family goes into damage-control mode, arranging a counterphoto to emphasize Charles's dignity. The episode ends with the queen blaming Diana for her own troubles, while a haunting re-creation of Diana sitting on the diving board of the Jonikal serves as a reminder of her tragic fate.
