Netflix has added a disclaimer to the advertising for “The Crown,” which depicts the reign of the late Queen Elizabeth II, explaining that the sequence is a fictionalized drama.
The disclaimer reads: “Impressed by actual occasions, this fictional dramatisation tells the story of Queen Elizabeth II and the political and private occasions that formed her reign.”
It seems within the present’s Twitter bio, in addition to within the description for the present’s season 5 trailer, which was launched Thursday.
The present, which dramatizes the late queen’s reign in addition to the lives of the royal household round her, has taken warmth for liberties taken with the occasions it depicted. Some have referred to as for disclaimers not simply in advertising however earlier than episodes of the present.
“The Crown has at all times been introduced as a drama based mostly on historic occasions. [Season] 5 is a fictional dramatization, imagining what might have occurred behind closed doorways,” a Netflix spokesperson advised the Each day Mail.
Actress Judi Dench, in a letter to the British newspaper The Occasions, argued that because the present will get nearer to the present day, the road between historic depiction and sensationalism is blurring.
“Regardless of this week stating publicly that The Crown has at all times been a ‘fictionalized drama’ this system makers have resisted all requires them to hold a disclaimer initially of every episode. The time has come for Netflix to rethink … to protect its popularity within the eyes of its British subscribers,” Ms. Dench wrote. In 1998, she received the Academy Award for Finest Supporting Actress for her position as Queen Elizabeth I within the film “Shakespeare in Love.”
Former Prime Minister John Main, who’s depicted as plotting with then-Prince Charles to oust the queen, advised the Each day Mail that was “a barrel load of nonsense peddled for no different motive than to supply most — and fully false — dramatic impression.”
Season 5 of “The Crown” goes up on Netflix’s streaming platform on Nov. 9.
