He has taken exception to the show's depiction of King Charles
Former Prime Minister Sir John Major has blasted Netflix's The Crown as "a barrel-load of nonsense". He has taken exception to the show's depiction of King Charles, the former Prince of Wales, speaking to the then Prime Minister about a bid to replace the Queen in the 1990s, the Express reports.
The Mail on Sunday suggests the programme will show the future King believing his mother to be making the 'same mistake' as Queen Victoria, by continuing her reign instead of allowing a younger heir to take over.A spokesperson for Sir John told the publication: "Sir John has not co-operated in any way with The Crown.Nor has he ever been approached by them to fact-check any script material in this or any other series.
The spokesperson said that if the scenes were broadcast, "they should be seen as nothing more than damaging and malicious fiction. A barrel-load of nonsense peddled for no other reason than to provide maximum - and entirely false - dramatic impact." Audiences in Britain and around the world have been captivate by The Crown since it started on Netflix in 2016. But there has always been speculation as to whether or not the Royal Family appreciates it, as it hasn't shied away from the controversies surrounding the monarchy.
