Episodes to know about

Explicit sexual contentS2E8Moderate

An explicit sex scene involving a male character includes nudity; a subsequent scene implies a threesome. This episode is a notable step up from the show's usual restraint.

Self-harm & suicideS4E3Moderate

Diana's bulimia is depicted with on-screen purging across several Season 4 episodes, beginning around episode 3; Netflix attached eating-disorder support information before relevant episodes.

Self-harm & suicideS3Mild

Princess Margaret's suicide attempt is referenced or depicted during Season 3; handled as a dramatic plot point rather than shown graphically.
