The Crown will issue a warning ahead of episodes depicting Princess Diana’s battle with bulimia.
The fourth season of the Netflix series will follow Diana as she joins the Royal Family, after marrying Princes Charles in 1981.
Played by Emma Corrin, the upcoming episodes will also document the Princess’ private struggle with an eating disorder.
A spokesperson for Netflix told The Sun: “The Crown producers worked closely with the eating disorder charity, BEAT, to ensure that their portrayal of Princess Diana’s bulimia was both accurate to the disorder and sensitively handled.”
“When viewers watch the series on Netflix they will see warning cards at the beginning of the episodes giving details of how to seek help if required.”
Princess Diana opened up about her battle with bulimia for the first time back in 1995, during her bombshell Panorama interview with Martin Bashir.
Diana famously separated from Prince Charles in 1991 after 10 years of marriage, and they went on to divorce in 1996.
One year later, Diana was tragically killed in a car accident on August 31st, 1997.
