Duke anger over BBC help with ‘The Crown’

The Duke of Cambridge is understood to be frustrated that the BBC is cooperating with Netflix to “commercialise” Martin Bashir’s Panorama interview with his late mother, Diana, Princess of Wales.

The BBC confirmed it allowed the streaming giant to film scenes outside New Broadcasting House, its London HQ, for a scene in The Crown depicting events following the 1995 interview.

Actor Richard Cordery, who will play Marmaduke Hussey – then chairman of the BBC’S board of governors – in the next series of the drama, was seen walking into the building. The scene is said to portray the immediate aftermath of the broadcast.
