The British drama "The Crown" produced by streaming platform Netflix will air for a fifth season next month, but the plot has caused controversy. It is reported that Harry and Meghan's Netflix documentary was originally scheduled to be released at the end of this year, but the producer was worried that the Harry and his wife's documentary would exacerbate the negative perception of Netflix and decided to postpone it until next year.
The fifth season of the Netflix series "The Crown" will air on the 9th of next month, but some of the fictional plots of the series have attracted criticism. The first episode of "The Crown" hints that Charles, who was still crown prince in 1991, summoned former British minister John Major to complain that he, like Edward VII, had waited years without taking the throne.
The plot also claims that Charles privately agreed with the Sunday Times 's criticism of the monarchy and the Queen's long reign. But Major publicly dismissed the plot of "The Crown" last week, stressing that she and Charles never discussed "usurpation" and described "The Crown" as "malicious rumors".
In addition, the outside world also criticized "The Crown" for joining the rumors of Prince Philip's extramarital affair with female close friend Penelope Knatchbull, and ignoring Prince William's wishes to reenact the plot of his late mother Princess Diana's interview with the BBC, resulting in negative news about the series.
Netflix originally planned to arrange for the Prince Harry and Meghan Markle documentary to follow "The Crown" and air before Christmas, but Netflix executives thought that this would only "add fuel to the fire" and decided to postpone the release of the Harry and Mrs. documentary to next year, but there was no specific screening date.
It is reported that after the sudden death of the Queen of England, Harry and his wife also plan to revise the content of the documentary to avoid discrepancies between the content and Harry's autobiography.
