The Palace is no friend of the Netflix series The Crown. With great concern for King Charles III. the start of the new season is now expected in November.
LONDON (AP) — Insiders are awaiting the start of Netflix’s new season of The Crown in Buckingham Palace in November. The series, in which the streaming service retells the history of the British royal family, is “a drama, not a documentary,” said an unnamed senior royal source, as reported by the Telegraph on Sunday evening. After the death of Queen Elizabeth II (96, † 2022), Netflix confirmed that the season had already been filmed and would start as planned on November 9th.
The series depicts Charles III. at a time when he was not only extremely unpopular with the British
The series material is considered sensitive because it was just two months after the beginning of Charles III’s reign.

The season shows the failure of Charles’ and Princess Diana’s marriage (36, † 1997). The famous, scandalous BBC interview, in which Diana talks about, among other things, her husband’s affair with today’s king’s wife Camilla, is also to be part of the drama series.
The palace had already indicated in previous seasons that it was not a fan of the production. A friend of King Charles III. says what can be thought behind the walls but not spoken out. He is said to have described the series as “exploitative” and ruthless with regard to the reputation of the royal family, according to the “Telegraph”. “What people forget is that at the heart of it all are real people and their stories,” the source is quoted as saying.
