'The Crown' facing backlash over decision to show Princess Diana in an open casket in new season

Princess Diana is reportedly set to be shown in an open casket in the next season of 'The Crown'-- this in the aftermath of her onscreen death, which is not going down well with some members of the public.

Filming for the 6th installment of the hit Netflix series is underway, and according to The Sun, one scene, in particular, is expected to be met by pushback from Brits and others alike, because, apparently, it shows Princess Di's body.

The paper reports the scene in question depicts actress Elizabeth Debicki-- who plays Diana-- lying in an open coffin at what seems like the morgue following her fatal accident in Paris. The Sun says actor Dominic West-- who plays Prince Charles-- comes in to look at her and breaks down in tears and hysterics, as do Princess Diana's sisters.

There are concerns that the scene could retraumatize Charles, William and Harry-- and other members of the Royal family. 

Season 6 is due to be released next year.
