King Charles III is slammed for featuring the Queen’s death

‘King Charles III’ show has been slammed as "distasteful" for featuring the Queen’s death.
The upcoming BBC programme has caused a stir among audiences as the plot line is set to depict the Queen dying, as well as the ghost of the late Princess Diana – who tragically died in a car accident in France in 1997 aged 36 years old – haunting her children Prince William, 34, and Prince Harry, 32.
And Oliver Chris, who portrays Diana’s son the Duke of Cambridge in the production has also admitted the sketch shows "pretty shocking stuff".
The 39-year-old actor said: "It is pretty shocking stuff. Some will bridle at it, but I hope it’s done with enough intelligence and sensitivity not to be gratuitous."
The show will follow the Prince of Wales, played by Tim Pigott-Smith, and his rise to take over the throne following the passing of his parent.
‘King Charles III’ also depicts the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge plotting with politicians to take over the new heir, much to the upset of Conservative MP, Andrew Bigden.
He said: "It’s unfortunate the BBC would seek to promote this flight of fantasy, which many licence-fee payers will find distasteful and I believe denigrates and undermines our Royal Family.
"I hope that the BBC will make clear that the production is pure fiction."
However, the production’s creator, Rupert Goold, who adapted the West End production into a one-off television show has admitted the production team took the "greatest sensitivity" when making the project to avoid upsetting anyone.
The 45-year-old told the Radio Times: "The issue of greatest sensitivity was always how the funeral of the Queen would be presented and what that would mean for a BBC that covers such events for real.
"With the stage version, certain actors refused to be involved because of how it might affect their future relationship with the honours system."
