Prince Harry’s friends will watch ‘The Crown’ first to warn him of sensitive material: report

Prince Harry will have a “sensitivity viewer” brave Season 6 of “The Crown” so that he won’t have to face any traumatic content, according to a report.

The latest season of Netflix’s global smash hit, which depicts the lives of the British royals, centers on the tragic death of Princess Diana — Harry and William’s beloved mother.

The first four episodes of the final season were released Thursday. Later episodes will, inevitably, lead up to the horrific crash that killed Diana and boyfriend Dodi Al-Fayed in 1997.

An insider told the Telegraph that the Duke of Sussex’s pals “may watch it first in order to save him from anything he may not wish to see.”

The Post has reached out to Harry’s reps for comment.

A newly released clip from the sixth season shows Diana calling her sons at Balmoral Castle but failing to get in touch with them, just one day before her untimely death.

The new season will also depict the final conversations Diana had with Harry and William and with her ex-husband, King Charles, the then-Prince of Wales.

And while Harry will be watching the final season, the same isn’t true of William.

The Prince of Wales will reportedly refrain from tuning in, after he previously expressed frustration with Season 4 of the Golden Globe-nominated show, specifically with its take on Diana’s BBC Panorama interview.

In January, Harry admitted to watching “The Crown” and said goes so far as to “fact check” the show’s account of the royal family.

Appearing on “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert,” Meghan Markle’s husband discussed the controversial drama when asked if he had “binged” anything on TV lately.

Colbert asked if “The Crown” was one of the shows, saying the prince “had to have watched some” of it given that it’s all about Harry’s family.

“Yes, I have watched some of ‘The Crown,’” he revealed, before Colbert asked if he’s watched any of the recent episodes.

“The older stuff and the more recent stuff,” Harry clarified.

The expat royal was then asked if he did any “fact checking” while watching the show, prompting an animated response from Harry followed by laughter from the audience.

“Yes, I do actually,” the father of two revealed. “Which, by the way, is another reason why it’s so important that history has it right.”

Harry first admitted to dabbling in the hit Netflix show in February 2021 during an expansive interview with former “The Late Late Show” host James Corden.

Harry told Corden that he prefers watching the show to reading headlines about himself and his wife.

“They don’t pretend to be news — it’s fictional, but it’s loosely based on the truth,” he said of the show. “It gives you a rough idea about what the pressures of putting duty and service above family and everything else — what can come from that.”

“I’m way more comfortable with ‘The Crown’ than I am seeing the stories written about my family or my wife or myself,” he continued.

“That is obviously fiction — take it how you will — but this is being reported on as fact because it’s supposedly news. I have a real issue with that.”

Part One of “The Crown” Season 6 is now out on Netflix. The remaining episodes will drop on Dec. 14.
