The government of the United Kingdom wants to warn you that you’re watching a work of fiction when you watch The Crown.

The UK’s culture secretary Oliver Dowden is asking Netflix add an explicit disclaimer to the program to warn viewers that the show is fictional, fearing that younger audiences will think the events in the historical drama on the Royal Family actually happened as portrayed. Tens of millions around the world are watching the series, including more than one million Americans.

‘It’s a beautifully produced work of fiction, so as with other TV productions, Netflix should be very clear at the beginning it is just that,’ Dowden said in an interview with the British newspaper The Mail. “Without this, I fear a generation of viewers who did not live through these events may mistake fiction for fact,” he said.

Unlike previous seasons of The Crown, streaming now on Netflix, the current season takes place in recent memory for most viewers (over a certain age, that is.) This season features the wedding of Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer, one of the most-watched events of the latter years of the 20th Century.

Dowden’s request mirrors similar sentiments from many sources, including British news media and Royal Family historians that some of the show’s scenes and major plot lines have been invented, and may even be damaging to the Royal Family.

The greatest controversy has been generated by The Crown’s portrayal of Prince Charles’ and Lady Diana Spencer’s marriage and the suggestion that Charles’ affair with his now-wife Camilla Parker Bowles continued throughout his marriage to Diana.

The Royal family themselves have been none too pleased by the program, and apparently don’t appreciate the “beautifully produced” aspects of the show.

“It is quite sinister the way that (The Crown creator Peter) Morgan is clearly using light entertainment to drive a very overt republican agenda and people just don’t see it,” a source claiming to be a friend of the Prince of Wales recently told The Mail. “They have been lured in over the first few series until they can’t see how they are being manipulated. It is highly sophisticated propaganda.”

Prince William is also reportedly not a fan of the new season, with a royal source telling the The Mail that “The Duke of Cambridge is none too pleased with it. He feels that both his parents are being exploited and being presented in a false, simplistic way to make money.” Prince William’s official title is The Duke of Cambridge.

This season will not deal with the death of the princess; that will come in Season 5 which will start filming next year. There will be a sixth and final season of the show, but Season 4 only deals with the royals through 1990, so it’s fair to assume that Diana’s death will be upsetting viewers – both royal and otherwise – in 2022.
