Writers of Netflix's controversial show The Crown have reportedly rewritten the Queen's famous 'Annus Horribilis' speech.
The news comes after the streamer came under renewed pressure to add a disclaimer at the start of each episode of the Royal drama, stating the show is fiction.
The next series of The Crown will dramatise Princess Charles and Princess Diana's separation and the lead up to her death in Paris in 1997.
Now it has been reported that writers behind the successful show have altered the Queen's famous speech in 1992, which she gave after a particularly difficult year, and just days after a fire at Windsor Castle.
In a memorable moment, she said the year of her Ruby Jubilee was not one “on which I shall look back with undiluted pleasure”.
She added: “In the words of one of my more sympathetic correspondents, it has turned out to be an ‘Annus Horribilis’.”
However The Sun reports that The Crown writers have added in new lines for their version of the speech, which will include Imelda Staunton's The Queen acknowledging "the errors of the past."
A TV insider told The Sun: “Netflix can argue about what may or may not have happened behind closed doors to justify some of their storylines.
“But they’ve essentially rewritten history by changing the speech."
The insider added: “This will only add to the sense that The Crown is taking huge liberties with the truth and unfairly causing untold damage to the reputation of the monarchy."
Netflix has faced calls to add a disclaimer to The Crown before, but the row was bought up again when actress Dame Judi Dench slammed the show for its 'crude sensationalism'.
The James Bond star, 87, called for a disclaimer to be added to each episode, saying the "fictionalised drama" poses a risk because "a significant number of viewers" will take its events as historical truth.
Dame Judi wasn't the only person who slammed the popular series as ex-Prime Minister Sir John Major called the scenes of Prince Charles trying to oust the Queen 'a barrel load of nonsense.'
It was reported that Netflix has refused to add such a note, but later it did add disclaimer to its marketing.
The streaming giant now stated the show is a 'fictional dramatisation' that's 'inspired by real-life events' under the trailer on YouTube as well as the series' page.
However, it doesn't appear on TV or on a mobile phone when using the Netflix application.
The streaming giant has said previously that it has always made clear The Crown is a fictionalised drama inspired by historical events.
Further controversary has now been caused thanks to the show seemingly appear to film Diana's final hours, despite Netflix bosses previously claiming the "exact moment" of the crash will not be shown on screen.
Witnesses have claimed the fictional drama recently shot scenes involving Elizabeth Debicki, who plays the late star in upcoming series, in a black Mercedes just 100 yards from the Alma tunnel, Paris - where Diana tragically died in 1997.
Netflix has been approached for comment by the Mirror, regarding the rewriting of the Queen 1992 speech.
