It's not the first time that someone isn't quite as happy with the historical accuracy of "The Crown".

This time it's a minister - and he wants a warning.

The last, somewhat

harsher criticism

of Netflix's hit series "The Crown *" came from Sarah Horsley.

She is the

widow

of Major Hugh Lindsay, who died in a skiing accident in 1988.

Horsley had

asked

Netflix, or the

makers of the series

,

not to discuss

the accidental death of her husband, who was also

Prince Charles

and which is therefore of greater importance for the history of the series

.

The 67-year-old had to realize with resignation that her request had not been granted.

Now there is the next upset: The

British Minister Oliver Dowden

would like to provide the historical drama with a warning.

"The Crown" with a warning?

British minister demands it

Due to the partial

lack of historical accuracy

, the British Minister Oliver Dowden demands that the drama series be provided with a reference that emphasizes its fictional character.

The "Mail on Sunday" said the

Minister of Education

that the show is a

wonderful work of fiction

and that Netflix should highlight this, as with many other series.

Otherwise, he feared, a generation of viewers would

perceive certain series events as true.

Advocacy by the minister of education met with little approval

As the "Guardian" reports, film historians are

not exactly enthusiastic about the idea

.

For example, Alex von Tunzelmann smugly points out that Netflix is ​​already clearly showing that it is a fictional work - by calling the series a

drama

and

using

actors

.

The serial giant itself has not yet responded to the proposal of the British Minister of Education.

In contrast to Sarah

Horsley

, who also received

a letter back

to her request

, in which the makers of "The Crown" Horsley said

they would have replied

very kindly

that they would try to

recreate

the event

as respectfully as possible

.
