William Shawcross, the Queen Mother’s official biographer, labeled the series “abominable” and “deliberately hurtful” about a seemingly made-up scene in which Charles tells the Queen she should be “thrown in jail” for being a “bad mother.” ‘ is.

Netflix risked fuel on the fire last night by refusing to add a disclaimer to the series stating that the scenes, labeled as “evil” by a royal expert, are not fact but fiction.

Meanwhile, according to The suneven crew members are concerned about the scenes depicting the lead-up to Diana’s death, with one reportedly saying, “It feels like a line is being crossed.”

Netflix insists Diana’s death, in a car accident in the Pont de l’Alma tunnel in central Paris, will not be recreated in the new series.

But a regular source reportedly told The Sun: “To go back to Paris and turn Diana’s final days and hours into a drama feels very uncomfortable.

The show always tried to present a fictionalized version of royal history with as much sensitivity as possible. But lately, as things get closer and closer to the present, it’s been harder to find that balance.”

The storyline in which Charles plots to evict his mother was labeled a “barrel of evil nonsense” by former Prime Minister Sir John Major as those close to the new monarch called for a boycott.

Critics argue that the show should include a warning that the “false, unfair and deeply wounding” scenes are fiction, which not all viewers realize.

Nevertheless, The Crown has confirmed that series five will air from November 9 without a disclaimer.

Meanwhile, the Queen Mother’s official biographer called the series “appalling” and “deliberately hurtful.”

Mr Shawcross, in a letter to… The Daily Telegraphsaid the program is “full of lies and half-truths wrapped in lace and velvet.”

He also accused creator Peter Morgan of organizing “a campaign to abuse the monarchy” and “destroy a vital institution through lies.”

Former culture secretary Nadine Dorries said it’s only fair that the show regularly shows such a warning, as is common with other programs.

The Tory MP added: “If a program is pure fiction, as this series from The Crown is clear, it should be clearly stated in the name of fairness and transparency.

“It’s pretty bizarre that there are people on it who are still alive today, but bound by protocol and unable to refute false impressions and made-up scenarios, knowing that many viewers would think they are real.”

A spokesperson for the series said: “The Crown has always been presented as a drama based on historical events.

Series Five is a fictional dramatization, imagining what could have happened behind closed doors during an important decade for the royal family – one that has already been closely researched and well documented by journalists, biographers and historians.”

Set in the 1990s, the new series begins with Charles – then the Prince of Wales – then lobbying Prime Minister Sir John in a bizarre attempt to force the Queen’s abdication.

But Sir John told The Mail on Sunday the meeting fell through and the ‘inappropriate topic’ was never discussed. His office said no scene is “accurate in any way,” adding, “They are fiction, pure and simple.

“They should be seen as nothing more than harmful and malicious fiction – a ton of nonsense spread for no other reason than to provide maximum – and completely false – dramatic impact.”

In another scene, Charles says, “If we were an ordinary family and social services came to visit, they would have thrown us into care and you [the Queen] in jail.’

Although the new series was written at least a year before the Queen died and filming was completed months ago, the timing of its release could be criticized.

Sources close to the palace have said the Queen’s death just six weeks ago makes the scenes particularly painful.
