Days after signing a deal, believed to be worth up to £112 million, a former bodyguard of the late princess reportedly called on The Duke of the Sussex to get the 'Diana: A Musical' pulled from the streaming service.

The new musical was initially set to open on Broadway on March 31st, 2020, COVID-19 caused the show to shut down until further notice. But the cast recorded a performance without an audience, so that performance will premiere on Netflix sometime in the coming months.

The show is likely to cause outrage because of some contentious lines and scenes. A former bodyguard of the late princess reportedly called the Duke of Sussex to get the musical pulled from the streaming service.

But, it is still unclear that how Diana and the rest of the royals are portrayed in the musical.

Joe DiPietro and David Bryan, the Tony Award-winners behind musical Memphis, wrote Diana’s book, music and lyrics, while Come From Away’s Christopher Ashley directs the show.
