The Crown creator Peter Morgan has broken his silence surrounding the season five controversy and fears for King Charles' reputation…
October 19, 2022 - 09:26 BST Nicky Morris The Crown creator Peter Morgan has defended season five of the hit Netflix historical series, saying that the show isn't"unkind" to King Charles amid fears that he would be portrayed in a negative light. The upcoming series is set in the 1990s and is expected to examine this turbulent decade for the royals, including Prince Charles and Diana's acrimonious separation.
"But that doesn’t mean that, with the benefit of hindsight, history will be unkind to him, or the monarchy. The show certainly isn’t. I have enormous sympathy for a man in his position — indeed, a family in their position. People are more understanding and compassionate than we expect sometimes."MORE: The Queen on screen: Olivia Colman, Helen Mirren, Claire Foy and more
She added:"From that very first meeting [with] Peter, I knew that I’d entered into this space where this was taken seriously [in] a deeply caring way. So that’s my experience of the show."
