The British royal family just doesn't like 'The Crown 4', the latest installment in the Netflix series and dedicated to the turbulent history of the Windsors.
To credit the tabloid Sun, which cites sources well versed in the monarchy, Prince Charles and his son William would be "furious" at the reconstruction made by the successful program of the period between 1979 and the early 1990s.
The award-winning series created by Peter Morgan on the reign of Elizabeth II had already been heavily criticized by Palazzo in the past, as had emerged from some rumors.
In this case, however, the controversy concerns one of the thorniest aspects in the affairs of the ruling house:
the marriage between Charles and Diana,
played by Josh O'Connor and
Emma Corrin
.
The authors of 'The Crown 4' are not spared details of a certain effect: such as the 'people's princess' suffering from eating disorders, who on several occasions vomits in the bathroom because she cannot bear the tension of married life and failure. of the union with Carlo.
The latter is then described, since the beginning of the engagement with the young Diana Spencer, in his extramarital affair with Camilla Parker Bowles, who will become his wife after the death of Lady D. And to this is added the role of Queen Elizabeth II (Olivia Colman) cold with Charles and Diana, impervious to their requests for understanding, determined to prevent the separation of the royal couple.
"William is not at all happy with all this, he thinks that both of his parents have been exploited and presented in a false and simplistic way, just to make money", thundered an 'insider' of the royal family.
And again: "All this is deeply unfair, especially since many of the things that are narrated do not represent reality".
However, the series also talks about other things, such as the rise of Margaret Thatcher (Gillian Anderson) and the Northern Irish conflict, with the lethal attack by IRA against Charles's godfather, Lord Mountbatten.
Not all royals take sides against Netflix.
Prince Harry and wife Meghan recently signed a £ 75 million mega-contract with the streaming platform to produce documentaries and other programs.
