Colthurst clarified in an interview with NBC News in 2004 that Diana had become frustrated with her marriage and her life, and she had come up with the idea of a tell-all book herself about the timeline of her life with the royal family so that she could " have some control over what was said" about her. As the " quiet years" passed and Diana grew in confidence as the Princess of Wales, she started getting in touch with her old friends again - Colthurst included.Ĭontrary to the depiction of Andrew Morton and James Colthurst's serendipitous meeting in The Crown, Morton was not the driving force behind the exposé book, Diana: Her True Story. In what Colthurst calls " the quiet years" immediately after Diana and Charles wedding, Diana became isolated from her friends, undoubtedly partly due to the immense pressure Diana felt as a new royal and the drastic lifestyle changes she had to adjust to. Beside tweaking some events for dramatic effect, The Crown remains respectfully close to the truth in its depiction of Colthurst's close friendship with Diana. Audiences have been keen to express their approval for Elizabeth Debicki's portrayal of Princess Diana, and the writers deserve some credit as well.
