Netflix The Crown do you think it is disrespectful?

I would say princess Ann isn't featured because she has not aired her dirty laundry in public. (Even though she probably has her share)

eazybee It is prurient, dramatised and no matter how many disclaimers are made, many people believe it to be true, 'because they wouldn't be allowed to make it if it wasn't.'

Totally agree eazybee, many will think this is the truth,

I feel sorry for the RF having to put up with this, if it were about my family I would hate it and be so angry. It is probably quite damaging to RF, especially Charles and Camilla.

I have watched the previous series and enjoyed them. Not so much this one, some of the the actors were such ridiculous caricatures, I could hardly watch. They made up so much, yet they did not cover the attempted kidnapping of Princess Anne, a real drama. Is it because she came out of it well?

I don’t think it’s disrespectful and the Royals do have their own press secretaries. They are in control of what’s allowed for public viewing in the general media and on tv.

Well said eazybee I agree.

Respectful? Do we have to be respectful?
If its slanderous or illegal that would be a different matter but obviously its navigated its way around the legal obstacles and is therefore just entertainment. Its not or ever pretended to be a documentary.

The most recent series isn’t as good as the earlier series. I don’t think it is particularly disrespectful, certainly not as bad as ‘the Windsors’.Now that was funny and disrespectful .

It may be untrue...it might not be.I wont watch it because whether its good or bad its all PR for a family I think shouldn't be in the position of privilege they are .
Meritocracy is the way forward....this aristrocracy nonsense is way out of date .Should have been left in the middle ages where it belonged ..and all those ridiculous "Empire" medals and titles with it !Its divisive rubbish and sadly there are still people ,on here.who look up to these parasites and think they "deserve" to be treated like gods!

Yes I do think it is disrespectful, and I would think the same if it was about the Trumps, Kennedys and any other prominent families who are alive.
It is prurient, dramatised and no matter how many disclaimers are made, many people believe it to be true, 'because they wouldn't be allowed to make it if it wasn't.'
I have no intention of watching it.

The French people I work with tend to think that there is more truth than fiction. I do not have Netflix.

I haven’t seen the recent ones, but yes, it seems wrong to me to make a fictionalised programme about living people.

The worrying thing is that I’m sure if I do watch it I’ll find it riveting.

I don’t think it’s disrespectful as such, but I do think it’s dangerous as most people seem to think it’s true. Apparently the Duchess of Cornwall and Prince Charles are suffering further abuse.
