Netflix has received British criticism for the series The Crown, which deals with the historical facts of the monarchy in Great Britain.
Netflix said it saw no need to alert viewers that the series “The Crown” it was showing on its platform was a fictional drama and had no plans to add the disclaimer to the popular series.
Despite pressure from British officials and critics who accused the platform of misleading and dramatizing historical events and damaging the reputation of the monarchy, Netflix made it clear that it presents “The Crown” as a drama and that it has every confidence that clients understand that this is a work of fiction that relies heavily on historical events. As a result, you don’t need to add a disclaimer, according to the Washington Post.
The company’s decision comes after British Culture Minister Oliver Dowden told the British newspaper “Daily Mail” that the producers should make it clear early on that the series, based on the reign of Queen Elizabeth II and The events that formed the royal family, including the troubled relationship between Prince Charles and Princess Diana, is actually a work of fiction.
“Without this, I fear that a generation of viewers who have not experienced these events may mistake imagination for reality,” said Dowden.
About 29 million people saw the series during the first week of the new season, according to British media, more than the royal wedding of Prince Charles and Diana in the United Kingdom.
The show’s first season began in 2016 and initially focused on Elizabeth’s marriage to Prince Philip and life in Britain under Winston Churchill.
