Loose Women star Gloria Hunniford has said having a ghost of Princess Diana appear in The Crown would be "tasteless".<\/p>\n
It has been reported that an upcoming episode of the hit Netflix show will include a scene where the late princess – who died in a car crash in Paris in 1997 – will appear to her husband Charles (Dominic West) as he is grieving her death. It's also thought the ghost of Diana (Elizabeth Debicki) will appear to the Queen in a scene.<\/p>\n
The news has sparked controversy, with fans of the royal drama divided over whether it is appropriate. And it also caused a split on the Loose Women panel when it came up on Wednesday's instalment of the ITV show (October 11).<\/p>\n

Gloria insisted she didn't want to see it, despite being a fan of the series. "I have loved The Crown in the past, I really have," she said.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
"But I just think that the death of Princess Diana is still very acutely with us. I think lots of people were so affected by the death and personally I don't want to see her… I've got beautiful images in my mind, I don't want to see her coming back as a ghost on the drama. I just don't. Simple as that."<\/p>\n
However, Janet Street Porter chimed in: "Well honestly, it might be a very very lovely ghost wearing designer clothes!" The TV star said she thought it was "fair game".<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
And she went on: "I mean, you know, we've had the series The Windsors. There have been loads of comedy series about the royal family."<\/p>\n
Christine Lampard pointed out that Netflix has been quoted as saying the 'ghost' was meant to be a "visualisation of innermost thoughts". But Gloria interjected: "I just think it's tasteless. Tasteless."<\/p>\n
Former Bake Off star Nadiya Hussain was a guest on the programme also weighed in, questioning what Diana's sons William and Harry may feel. "She was also someone's mum," she said.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
"I just think, I am someone's mum and she was also someone's mother. And I think you want to tread carefully and I think it is unfair because she still has two sons who can see that and hear about that and I think it is slightly unfair on them."<\/p>\n
Loose Women airs weekdays at 12.30pm on ITV<\/i><\/p>\n
