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
.
