Netflix has issued a disclaimer to its marketing of its hit show The Crown following criticism of 'inaccuracies' from actor Dame Judi Dench and ex-Prime Minister Sir John Major. The streaming giant now states the series' page and under its YouTube trailer that is a 'fictional dramatisation' that has been 'inspired by real-life events'.
The statement reads: "Inspired by real events, this fictional dramatisation tells the story of Queen Elizabeth II and the political and personal events that shaped her reign." When using the platform on TV or mobile however, the disclaimer doesn't appear.
The move comes after Netflix originally reportedly refused adding a factual disclaimer to its hit series following criticism from the likes of actor Dame Judi Dunch, who recently slammed the show for its 'crude sensationalism', the Mirror reports.
