The death of Queen Elizabeth II has heightened Britain’s sensitivity to the Crown. And criticism of The Crown’s “fantasy” is manifold.

Several British figures have accused Crown to find something and endanger the royal familyasking in public to make it clear that it is fiction. Netflix has answered by adding “disclaimer” one of legal warning in the trailer Crown Season 5.

Crown is a Netflix exclusive series, focusing on the life of the queen Isabel II from England. Season 1 begins with the wedding between the queen and Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. Currently 4 seasons have been broadcast. According to Matt Smith, the actor who plays Philip of Edinburgh, Queen Elizabeth II watches the series every Sunday afternoon, on a projector.

Premiere season 5 will take place in November, and with death of queen elizabeth iiwhich had triggered the sensitivity, began to increase critique of fiction The Crown. You can see the trailer in the news opening video.

Netflix think that it’s a fictional series that tells what happens in the Royal Family behind closed doors, so You have to find private things. But it has been historically documented and private conversations are based on biographies, interviews, or statements from employees and people associated with the Royal Family.

Criticism of The Crown for its attack on Crown

The argument doesn’t convince everyone. Because Netflix changes even real conversations recorded on video. By account BBCin one of the scenes of the series appeared the famous interview of Princess Diana with Martin Bashir, in 1995. Here the actress Elizabeth Debicki uttered the sentence: “I will not go quietly, I will fight to the end“, which Princess Diana never said in the interview.

Actress Judi Denchwho plays Queen Victoria in a film and has close ties to the Royal Family, has publicly criticized the invention of The Crownand has asked Netflix to explain at the beginning of all chapters, that this is a fictional series.

John MajorThe former British Prime Minister, has commented on an upcoming scene that includes a conversation between him and Prince Charles, about abdication. Queenand make sure that it isa barrel of evil bullshit“.

The big underlying problem is that humans tend to take unreliable references as reliable sources. Television series, even those that claim to reflect reality, are pure inventions, but many people accept it as truth. And even the behavior and lifestyle that is a pure twisted fantasy of a screenwriter is copied in real life.

The same thing happens when musicians, actors or religion give their opinion and intervene in politics, even though because of their training they have no experience in it.

Given the criticism received, Netflix has added a legal notice in the latest trailer for The Crown on Youtube: “Inspired by true events, this fictional dramatization tells the story of Queen Elizabeth II and the political and personal events that shaped her reign.“. On other occasions I have placed similar notices, but I have never used the word fiction.

It criticism of netflix for discoveries Crown They had forced him to install legal warningshows that fiction series. It remains to be seen if he will do the same at the start of all episodes. What is certain is that the platform rubs his hands: after death Queen Isabel II the audience of the series is skyrocketing, and this controversy will only increase them even more.
