Dame Judi Dench Slams The Crown Season 5 After Learning Of THIS Scene!!

perezhilton.com:

The latest season of The Crown isn’t even out yet and it’s already the center of major controversy! One day before Netflix released the trailer for the upcoming season of The Crown, Dame Judi Dench took to The Times with a scathing letter urging the streamer to stop the release of the show — or at least admit it’s largely made up!

The Oscar winner, who is friends with Queen Camilla, revealed most of her frustrations with Season 5 revolve around a scene between King Charles III (then just a prince) and the former UK Prime Minister John Major (played by Jonny Lee Miller).

In the scene, Charles (Dominic West) attempts to convince John to persuade Queen Elizabeth II (Imelda Staunton) to abdicate the throne, something Judi and other viewers think is inappropriate following Her Majesty’s death.

In the letter to the UK publication released on Wednesday, Judi wrote: The actress also claimed she believes the show is getting more out of hand the closer it gets to the present time, dissing: She even went so far as to say the highly-acclaimed program propagated “an inaccurate and hurtful account of history.” She urged Netflix to add a “disclaimer at the start of each episode” to indicate the series isn’t backed by 100% accurate facts, noting: Netflix now describes the Emmy-winning show as “inspired by real events” and a “fictional dramatisation” which tells the “story of Queen Elizabeth II and the political and personal events that shaped her reign.” It’s definitely a start to remind fans not everything is accurate, but Judi doesn’t think it’s enough.
