The former BBC presenter said the Netflix drama was guilty of a 'certain amount of hostile manipulation' of the historical facts as well as of using dramatic licence.
The Crown TV show is 'historical piffle' but has been as influential as Shakespeare in shaping perceptions of monarchy, according to Andrew Marr.
Royals are said to be bracing themselves for 'painful' scenes in the new series of The Crown, which will show Princess Diana appearing as a ghost. 'At any rate, it has been as influential on public perceptions today as William Shakespeare was on the way Tudors, Georgians and Victorians felt about the Plantagenets.'
Marr, who hosted a Sunday morning show on BBC1, said the portrayal of the 'genetically disabled' first cousins of Queen Elizabeth seemed 'heavily fictionalised and intended to show the Windsors as heartless and conniving'.
