Less than a month after the death of Queen Elizabeth II, Buckingham Palace is bracing itself for potential fallout due to a popular television program. The show is "The Crown," and the palace? Apparently, they're worried. This, according to a "senior royal insider" who told The Telegraph that the Netflix show is "exploitative" and wanted to stress to fans that the show, which chronicles the life of the queen and other royals starting in 1947, is "a drama not a documentary."
What could have the palace up in arms? Season 5 of "The Crown" is set to premiere on Netflix on Nov. 9. Production on the show stopped briefly as a sign of respect for the late monarch, but what remains unchanged is the date for the upcoming season, which moves the story forward to 1992. Not the best year for the royal family. Salon examines what could be alarming the palace and what to expect from the blockbuster show.
