Prince Charles, very critical of his character in ‘The Crown’: ”I look nowhere”

The crown has managed to become one of the Netflix audience’s favorite series. We’re not saying it, but the company Reed Hastings, which conducted a survey in 2020 in which it ensured that a total of 73 million households around the world have seen the adventures of the British royal family. A fact that has increased as the seasons have been made. However, the way some of his characters are portrayed hasn’t left everyone satisfied. One of the most critical of his is the Prince Carlos.

It has been possible, thanks to Scottish Labor politician Anas Sarwar, to know the opinion that Queen Elizabeth’s son has about his namesake in fiction. Speaking at the Edinburgh Fringe festival, Sarwar said he met Prince Charles at the opening of the Scottish Parliament course in October 2021 and disagreed with a sneer.

“He came and said: “Hello, nice to meet you all, I am nothing like how I am portrayed on Netflix”, the source began. “I thought it was an interesting way to describe himself,” he said. However, Prince Charles immediately regretted saying: “I’m going to be in a lot of trouble because of this, because I think private conversations can’t be counted,” he said.

The person responsible for interpreting Charles of England in the series is Josh O’Connor, Emmy winner for best actor for his work. The third and fourth seasons are very focused on the figure of the heir to the Anglo-Saxon throne. One of the backbone of the story during these episodes is Carlos’s marriage to Diana and his extramarital affair with Camilla Parker-Bowles.

Another member (or not) who criticized the series was Prince Harry: “It’s not meant to be news. It’s fiction…but it’s loosely based on the truth.” But he acknowledged that he portrayed some things faithfully: “It gives a global picture of what that lifestyle is, of the pressure to put duty and service above family and everything else, of what can result. I feel a lot more like my convenience at The Crown than seeing the stories written about my family, or my wife, or myself,” he commented on the James Corden show.

The actor who plays Charles of England will change from seasons 5 and 6, which will show the divorce of the Princes of Wales. O’Connor will make way for Dominic West, who will bring him to life.

It should be noted that it is not the first time that the Crown Prince has valued the X-ray they take of him in the Netflix series. During the fourth season, his environment hinted at his deep discomfort by making sure that he was “furious” by the image that was given of him.

The fifth season of The crown has yet to be released. It is estimated that it will be November next year when the on-demand content platform debuts it. This new series of episodes will bring about a complete generational change within The Firm, as the Windsors know each other. The biggest novelty comes with the loss in the cast of Olivia Colman, who gives up her role to a new queen: Imelda Staunton.

What is clear is that the fifth will not be the last as there has been an English royal family for a while. This was revealed in 2016 by Netflix’s content manager, Ted Sarandos“The idea is to do this over six decades, presumably over six seasons, and make the whole show eight to 10 years,” he said. Despite this idea, he considered the idea of ​​​​going on vacation indefinitely: “First I imagined” The crown six seasons, but now that we’ve started working on stories for season five, it’s clear to me that this is the perfect time and place to stop.”

To the delight of fans of the series, there will finally be no break: “As we started discussing the stories for the fifth, it quickly became clear that in order to do justice to the richness and complexity of the story, we had to go back. go to the original plan and do six seasons. To be clear, the sixth part will not bring us closer to the present, it will simply allow us to cover the same period in more detail.”
