  • Season four of "The Crown" follows the ups and many downs of Princess Diana and Prince Charles' doomed marriage in the '80s, but the show also leaves a lot out.
  • While the series shows Diana's struggle with bulimia, it excludes details of her mental health and suicide attempts.
  • The Netflix show also skips the royal wedding, the birth of Prince Harry, and Diana's confrontation with Camilla Parker Bowles.

The new season of Netflix's "The Crown" chronicles the doomed marriage of Prince Charles and Princess Diana, but it barely scratches the surface of their relationship.
