BBC 2 in the U. K. Wednesday, has been stirring up controversy for weeks, particularly among those who question its less- than- flattering depictions of figures like Charles, Princes William and Harry, and Kate Middleton. Not to mention the ghost of Princess Diana.

Yes: King Charles III, as befits its Shakespearean title (and blank- verse dialogue), features characters both living and dead. The spirit of Charles’s late wife pays a visit to the newly- crowned monarch at one point, in a scene actor Tim Pigott- Smith—who played Charles and died last month at the age of 7. Though the actor told The Times of London, in his last interview ever, that he didn’t believe the film was “presumptuous” or “wrong” to include Diana, he added that her scenes would likely be “terribly upsetting” for any members of her family to watch—particularly Charles, William, and Harry. Diana’s friend Rosamond Moncktontold the Daily Mail that the film is “deliberately causing pain to a real living person in a salacious fashion”—specifically, for repeating the old rumor that James Hewitt, who had an affair with Diana that lasted five years, is actually Prince Harry’s biological father. Or was it the other one?”) It also casts Kate Middleton as a Lady Macbeth- style schemer who pushes her weak- willed husband, Prince William, to take the throne for himself—Charles be damned.

I have no evidence that anybody even took this into consideration,” he told The Guardian. Goold also said that the BBC didn’t request any last- minute edits for the sake of propriety: “I think the BBC were probably anxious about the Queen’s funeral, but oddly they left us alone in the filming.”Goold’s actors, too, have defended the work, warts and all. I personally felt that what we see in King Charles III is this really extraordinary, intelligent addition to the debate about our monarchy, and I feel that the presence of Diana is done very sensitively,” Oliver Chris, who plays William told BBC News. And Charlotte Riley, who plays Kate, rejects the idea that her version of the duchess is a one- dimensional schemer: “I see her as pragmatic rather than ruthless,” she told The Independent this week. She’s saying: . It’s shit that the only way I can connect with the public is by being a bloody clotheshorse, but if I have to do that for the monarchy to stay relevant, then so be it. Let’s suck it up.

And I’m sorry, Charles, but we’re relevant and you’re not any more.’”Even so, Riley isn’t quite so confident that the real Kate would have a positive response to her portrayal—or to the play more generally.
