Dominic West reveals he didn't get out of bed for two days after reading negative reviews of The Crown with critics branding Princess Diana ghost scenes 'tasteless'


The actor, 54, who portrayed the King has revealed he didn't get out of bed for two days after reading negative reviews of The Crown.

Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams told MailOnline at the time of the launch 'the idea that they have even contemplated Diana as a ghost seems absolutely weird', particularly considering the controversial elements already swirling around the show. Netflix's decision to allow Princess Diana's ghost to appear in front of her ex-husband Prince Charles and the late Queen in The Crown was slammed by royal experts (pictured in 1987) Singh said: 'Farewell then to The Crown (Netflix), a show that started out as a sublime period drama – interesting history, fabulous frocks, a luminous Claire Foy – and ends as a Hallmark Channel movie in which the Queen has a nightmare about Tony and Cherie Blair being crowned at Westminster Abbey to a new national anthem of Things Can Only Get Better, and William and Kate’s dreamy first kiss is interrupted by a royal protection officer announcing the death of the Queen Mother.'
