The Australian Monarchist League has called on audiences to stop watching The Crown and boycott Netflix if the streamer “does not act to correct the record” and add a disclaimer to episodes of the drama to address purported “falsehoods and inaccuracies” about the royal family.

The streaming service added a disclaimer to the trailer for the drama’s fifth season last week, following growing criticism about the show’s accuracy, including from the likes of former UK prime ministers Sir Tony Blair and Sir John Major, as well as actor Dame Judi Dench.
