Netflix has defended its hit show “The Crown” as a “fictional dramatisation,” after former British Prime Minister John Major slammed its depictions of his time in office as “damaging and malicious fiction” and a “barrel-load of nonsense.”
Major, who was prime minister from 1990 to 1997, responded on Saturday to rumors in UK media that one plotline of the new season sees King Charles III – then the Prince of Wales – hinting that he wanted Major’s support for his mother’s abdication. Another plot line is said to include disparaging conversations between Major – played by Jonny Lee Miller – and his wife, Norma, concerning the Queen and the royal family.
“There was never any discussion between Sir John and the then Prince of Wales about any possible abdication of the late Queen Elizabeth II – nor was such an improbable and improper subject ever raised by the then Prince of Wales ,” he added.
