UK Secretary of Culture Thinks Netflix Needs to Clearly Label The Crown Fiction - Vulture

Nov 30, 2020

Whether it’s the show’s depiction of Diana’s struggle to assimilate into the royal family, or actor Josh O’Connor’s “punchable” depiction of the Prince of Wales, The Crown’s fourth season covers a lot of ground many viewers were alive to experience in real time.

“Without this, I fear a generation of viewers who did not live through these events may mistake fiction for fact.”.

Dowden is reportedly expected to submit a request to the streaming platform asking that each episode of the series carry a “warning” clarifying that The Crown is a fictionalized take on real events.

According to the Mail, the request allegedly stems from fears that fictionalized scenes from writer Peter Morgan are “doing lasting damage to the monarchy,” an interesting concern considering the show doesn’t even include Prince Charles’ “Tampongate,” and a lot of us had to live through that IRL?
