The fifth season of The Crown<\/a>, which is available on Netflix<\/a> now, notably tackles the now-infamous interview between Martin Bashir and Princess Diana<\/a>.<\/p>\n However, before that, the show also takes a look at another big expos\u00e9 surrounding Diana, that being Andrew Morton\u2019s biography Diana: Her True Story.<\/p>\n The storyline appears in The Crown season 5 during episode 2, in which Diana<\/a>\u00a0is approached by a friend, James Colthurst, who suggests she speak with Andrew regarding her side of the story when it comes to her royal marriage<\/a>.<\/p>\n But who is Andrew Morton, and who plays him in The Crown season 5? Read on for everything you need to know.<\/p>\n Andrew Morton is a journalist and writer who is known for having written biographies of famous figures including Prince William, Meghan Markle and Tom Cruise.<\/p>\n In 1992, he published a tell-all biography of Princess Diana entitled Diana: Her True Story. The book referred to an unhappy childhood, suggested Diana felt ignored by the royal family, and reported that she had bulimia, had self-harmed and had attempted to commit suicide. It proved hugely controversial.<\/p>\n Morton at first denied working with Diana to write the book, saying he got the information from friends and those who knew her closely. The book was dismissed as a fiction<\/a>.<\/p>\n However, after her death, Morton said that the biography was in fact written with Diana\u2019s close involvement. He then republished it under the title Diana: Her True Story \u2013 In Her Own Words<\/a>.<\/p>\n Morton said that he worked with James Colthurst, a close friend of Diana\u2019s who he had met in 1986. Morton told\u00a0The Mail on Sunday<\/a> that the process involved \u201cgiving my questions to Colthurst, who then conducted six taped interviews with her in her sitting room at Kensington Palace\u201d.<\/p>\n So proud to be part of this show: https:\/\/t.co\/fgCWGTyi1N<\/a><\/p>\u2014 Andrew Steele (@Andrew_B_Steele) November 2, 2022<\/a><\/blockquote>Who is Andrew Morton?<\/strong><\/h2>\n
