Oliver Dowden criticized Netflix and the series
The Crown caused political intervention in England
Culture Minister Oliver Dowden demanded on 30 November 2020 that Netflix make it clear that the Crown is ‘fiction’ for fear that viewers may take the series literally.
The intervening Minister of Culture mentioned scenes that, according to him, harm the royal family. Oliver Dowden demanded that Netflix make it clear that The Crown is ‘fiction’.
In a somewhat dramatic intervention, the Secretary of Culture added his voice to a chorus of growing concern that fabricated scenes in the drama series were so damaging to the royal family that viewers had to be warned at the start of each episode that it was not a “fact”.
‘It’s a beautifully produced fiction, so as with other TV productions, Netflix needs to be very clear in the beginning, that’s exactly it,’ he told The Mail on Sunday.
‘Without this, I fear that a generation of viewers who have not experienced these events may err in fiction.’
