A dear friend of late Queen Elizabeth has hit out at Netflix's hit royal drama The Crown following the release of it's fifth season.
Lady Glenconner, who acted as maid of honour at the Queen's coronation, insisted that the Netflix show makes her 'so angry' because it's a 'complete fantasy' and 'so unfair on members of the Royal Family'.
Close friend to the Royals, Lady Glenconner had known the Queen since she was a child and she also acted as a lady-in-waiting to Queen Elizabeth's sister, Princess Margaret, for more than 30 years.
Lady Glenconner, 90, said what angers her the most is the fact that some people, especially American's who tune into watch the Royal drama, believe every scenario to be completely true.
"It's so irritating. I don't watch The Crown now because it just makes me so angry. And it's so unfair on members of the royal family," the late Queen's friend complained.
"The trouble is that people, especially in America, believe it completely," she added to told BBC Radio 4's Woman's Hour.
Netflix has continued to defended the show, stating that it 'has always been presented as a drama based on historical events'.
The streaming giant says the show is described as a fictional drama based on real events in all press materials, cast and crew interviews, on social media, and on the show's landing page on the service.
Lady Glenconner is also portrayed in The Crown, and in one scene from series three, she is depicted discussing various men with the Princess Margaret.
"I mean, of course that never happened," Lady Glenconner insisted.
Lifting the lid on one controversial episode in series two, where the Duke of Edinburgh was portrayed as being responsible for his sister Cecilie taking the flight that resulted in her death in a plane crash in 1937, Lady Glenconner hit out at false nature of the episode.
"That was completely untrue. And I think to say something like that about people is terribly hurting. Nobody wants to have their relations trashed like that," the Queen's close friend explained.
The latest offering of Netflix’s award-winning show is by far the most controversial to date, featuring several unflattering stories about the late Queen, King Charles and the rest of the royal family.
