Viewers have hit out at the BBC and sympathised with the Duke of Cambridge and Prince Harry after the new King Charles III show featured Diana's ghost.

Some have dubbed it "Royal bullying", as the ghost of Princess Diana haunts King Charles as well as her sons in the controversial television show.

Others have said it is "melodramatic drivel" and that it doesn't show an accurate picture of the Royal household.

The controversial adaptation of Mike Bartlett’s play, which also includes the Queen's funeral, received favourable broadsheet reviews but was received with distaste by viewers.
