Advance copies of Netflix’s tentpole show of the autumn season The Crown have been distributed to the media under strict embargo, but that hasn’t stopped Britain’s Daily Mail bravely charging in with their anything-but-humble opinion, exploring exactly all the things that the clearly fictionalized account of the royal family’s life behind closed doors has got wrong.
The royals themselves, of course, have never directly commented on the show with the exception of Prince Harry who told James Corden that the show was clearly “fiction” and that he was much more concerned about newspapers peddling lies about him and his family which were presented as fact.
