Netflix has added a disclaimer to the latest trailer for The Crown marking the Royal drama as "fictional" following complaints from Dame Judi Dench and Sir John Major.
Earlier trailers for the smash hit show only included a description of the series. But Netflix has now added a line to its YouTube page describing the show's upcoming fifth series as a “fictional dramatisation” and “inspired by real events”.
Netflix has previously described The Crown as “fictionalised drama” in its press materials, on social media and on The Crown’s landing page on its platform, but actress Dame Judi had cricicised the streaming service for not doing enough to make it clear to viewers around the world that the show is not completely truthful and relies on artistic licence to make it more dramatic.
