the last name Horsley. Investigation into death A criminal inquiry was opened after the avalanche, to determine if Prince Charles should face charges for the accident, as in 1964 an Olympic skier in Switzerland was charged with homicide by negligence following the deaths of two skiers in his charge. Prince Charles was later cleared of potential charges and authorities announced that while they would file no criminal charges against the party, the group did cause the avalanche. Media depiction Despite the concern of his widow, the death of Lindsay was portrayed in the Netflix drama The Crown in 2020 for its fourth season. She reportedly wrote to the producers and asked them not to portray the accident, stating it was a private tragedy. In response the producers responded by stating that they understood her concerns but the accident would still be portrayed in the series as they deal with difficult subjects with integrity and great sensitivity. His widow was horrified that the series depicted that accident and was concerned about the potential impact of the episode on her daughter. The episode titled "Avalanche", focuses on the aftermath of the avalanche with real audio reporting of the event imposed over a long-distance shot of an avalanche, with no actor for Lindsay cast for the series.
