Sir John Major has rubbished the new series of The Crown, describing the scenes in which he is involved as a “barrel-load of malicious nonsense”.
The former Prime Minister will be shown in a storyline which sees King Charles plotting to persuade his mother to abdicate from the throne back in 1991.
In a storyline within the first episode, released on November 9, Charles summons Major to a meeting and schemes to oust the Queen.
