The Crown is one of Netflix most acclaimed shows, but the recent season has gone under intense scrutiny with how it portrayed Prince Charles and Princess Diana's relationship and the beginning of their divorce.
Spoilers for the latest season of The Crown below, so back out now if you aren't caught up. In the last shot of the season, the cameras are flicking on Diana during a holiday photo of the Royal Family, foreshadowing her untimely death next season. Such a reaction has reached the cast of the show, and one member in particular even said on The Crown's official podcast, that Netflix has should state the main difference between the story they're telling than the actual history.
"It is dramatized. I do feel very strongly, because I think we have a moral responsibility to say, 'Hang on guys, this is not...it's not a drama-doc, we're making a drama,' said Helena Bohnam Carter, who plays Princess Margeret (via Deadline). "So they are two different entities."
This isn't the first time The Crown creator Peter Morgan has received accusations of inaccuracies throughout the show’s now four-season run. Even going back to the first season with its dramatic liberties, such as the history behind Winston Churchill assistant Venetia Scott. In the show, it's portrayed as if John Lithgow's Churchill would have started a passionate romance with his assistant, played by Kate Phillips. It's not that they wouldn't have had an affair, but according to historians at The Radio Times, Venetia never even existed.
