Divided opinions
Since the series premiered, some members of British royalty have already spoken out about what they think of the production. The princess Eugeniedaughter of the prince Andrew, said he loved the work’s soundtrack. While the prince Williamfor example, has stated several times that he didn’t like the way his family is portrayed at all.
According to the current Prince of Wales, the series is “profoundly intrusive”, offering viewers a “perverse and disgusting look at the most important members of the British royal family”.
In another statement, the first in line to the throne said that “The Crown” did not represent his parents as they did in real life, but rather “in a false and simplistic way”. The prince added that “they are exploiting my parents to make money”.
On the other hand, his brother, the prince Harry, was not so harsh in his words when asked about the series. During an interview on “The Late Late Show” with the host James Cordenthe Duke of Sussex said:
“The series is loosely based on reality. Of course, it’s not extremely accurate, but it shows a little about the royal lifestyle, the pressure of always putting duty above family and the consequences of that.”
The youngest son of Charles It is DianaHe added that he still prefers the series to the comments made by the media about his family. “I feel more comfortable watching ‘The Crown’ than reading stories in the media about my family, my wife or myself,” said the father of Archie It is Lilibeth Diana.
But what about the queen?
Elizabeth II has never publicly expressed his opinion on “The Crown.” However, a report from the Daily Express newspaper published in 2017 states that the queen watched the first seasons on the recommendation of her youngest son, the prince Edwardand I wouldn’t have been very happy with the excess drama in some moments.
“The Queen is aware that many who watch The Crown see the series as an accurate portrayal of the Royal Family and she cannot change that. She was particularly angered by a scene in which Philip shows no sympathy for an irritated Charles while they are flying back from Scotland. That simply didn’t happen,” declared a Crown representative in an interview with the Daily Express.
