The Crown disclaimer added by Netflix after Dame Judi Dench’s blasts ‘crude sensationalism’

Netflix have added an accuracy disclaimer for The Crown after Dame Judi Dench slammed the show as "crude sensationalism".

Bosses at the streaming service have been facing heaping pressure to clarify that the show, focussing on the royal family, is a fictionalised dramatisation of real life events. After being blasted by Judi Dench and former Prime Minister Sir John Major, the streaming service has added the disclaimer to ensure viewers know the show is fiction inspired by a true story.

On YouTube, the description for the teaser 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."
