The Crown are reportedly prepared to be faced with "a row" over their plans to show a replica of the mangled car for the scenes of Princess Diana's death. On August 31 in 1997, Princess Diana and Dodi Fayed died as their car crashed at the Pont de l'Alma tunnel in Paris. In pictures obtained by the Daily Mail, the black Mercedes replica shows the front wheel has buckled, with the bonnet crushed and the dashboard hanging out of the front windscreen.The car was believed to be transported in secret under tarpaulin to Paris for filming last year.
