The initial quartet of episodes from Season 6 graced Netflix screens today, unveiling a nuanced portrayal of Prince Harry's brief yet impactful presence, as elucidated by Dr. Tessa Dunlop.
The inaugural episodes, unveiled on Thursday, Nov. 16, traverse the labyrinth of Princess Diana's tragic demise and the arduous aftermath, as eloquently dissected by Dunlop in her analysis for The Mirror.
In a literary dance, she unfolds the narrative where Prince William, portrayed by Rufus Kampa, seizes the spotlight with his turbulent emotional state becoming the focal point of the show.
"Within the episodes, it's William monopolizing the telephone lines, reaching out to his absentee mother, profoundly affected by Diana's demise," Dunlop pens. "Seeking solace, William retreats to the hills, grappling with his own grief."
Concurrently, she observes that the 12-year-old Harry, embodied by Fflyn Edwards, seemingly grapples with the profound impact of Diana's demise without fully comprehending its magnitude.
Dunlop keenly highlights Harry's stoic reaction to his mother's death as a poignant reminder of the prince's youth and vulnerability.
