Tony Blair to appear as king in nightmare scenes in The Crown after he branded show ‘rubbish’
TONY Blair becomes king on The Crown — in imagined scenes bound to embarrass the former PM.
A horror scenario dreamt up by the late Queen sees her succeeded by Blair at the height of his popularity.
It comes after the real Blair slated the Netflix drama.
A TV insider said: “Seeing this on screen will be excruciating viewing for him as it doesn’t just seem to tap into Her Majesty’s fears, it also reflects his vanity.
“And of course, the creators of The Crown haven’t forgotten that he last year called the storylines ‘complete rubbish’.”
The Queen, played by Imelda Staunton, is also seen watching her image being removed from a pub.
It is replaced by King Tony’s, played by Bertie Carvel.
Blair also gets slow-handclapped by Women’s Institute members in trailers for the final series.
The last episodes are due on December 14.
