The Duchess of Cornwall will watch the new series of The Crown and will not “ worry ” about how they portray her, a friend claimed. In the photo, Camilla earlier this month.
However, the duchess is unlikely to be irritated by the fictitious version of events.
“I imagine you will be tuning in to a glass of red wine to see it, you have seen the previous series,” the friend told the publication. “She has a wonderful sense of humor and this won’t bother her in the least.”
The source added: ‘She has seen it, of course she has and I think [Charles] also has. I don’t think she has any real problem with it. His feeling is very much “never complain, never explain”.
Actual commentators have lined up to criticize the drama, including Ingrid Seward, who called it “quite inaccurate,” Dickie Arbiter, who said “some of the actions are fiction” and Sally Beddell Smith, who said “the level of invention has been growing. ”
Tom Quinn said parts of the show were “total nonsense”, although Paul Burrell was full of praise, saying it was a “fair and accurate dramatization of what happened.”

Inaccuracies in the drama have also been criticized, including that Charles viewed Lord Mountbatten more as a father figure than Prince Philip, and that Margaret Thatcher told the Queen that she thought women were incapable of holding high office.
Meanwhile, Conservative MP Andrew Bridgen warned that The Crown has painted a twisted picture of the late Prime Minister, Baroness Thatcher, and her position as Prime Minister, including her battle with the IRA and the decision to go to war with Argentina. .
Friends of Prince Charles launched a searing attack on the show over the weekend, accusing the producers of the hit Netflix drama of ‘trolling on a Hollywood budget.’
Some of the Prince’s closest confidants have accused the streaming giant of exploiting the Royal Family’s pain for financial gain and were enraged that ‘fiction is presented as fact’ in its twisted version of events.
The fourth series, which launched Sunday, covers Charles’s doomed marriage to Princess Diana, his eating disorders and his affair with Camilla Parker Bowles, until the end of Margaret Thatcher’s time as Prime Minister.
