‘The Crown’: Season 5 is “the most dangerous” and “unfair” to Carlos III, according to a crown biographer

The fifth season of ‘The Crown’ was made for begging, to which is added the current English instability and the flood of criticism it accumulates. The new season, which aims to be the penultimate of the series, fearlessly embarks on the confrontation between the royal family and Princess Diana in the early 1990s, in one of the darkest periods of the English monarchy of the last century. His first is this November 9, the same day the current King of England will travel to York to unveil a memorial statue to his mother, Queen Elizabeth II. Katie Nicholls, author of several real biographies, had early access to the new episodes and openly criticizes the new season in the Express newspaper, stating that probably makes viewers uncomfortable due to the enormous dramatization of reality and the moment it comes, thinking it is “A little unfair that the king starts his reign with this in mind.”

For Nicholl, who wrote biographies of William, Harry, Kate and Meghan, this is the season undoubtedly uncomfortable. Despite the events on which it is based took place forty years ago, the author affirms it “it seems too raw and obscene”. However, the big problem of the season is, according to him, the representation of the current King Carlos Domenico Ovest). “Fight [del Rey] for making the world a better place, his innovation from a young age is really well captured, but it’s the clumsiness of many scenes “. One of those topics criticism is the exact transcription of the Tampongatean intimate telephone conversation between Carlos III and his mistress Camilla Parker Bowles which leaked and caused a huge scandal. “It leaves you with a feeling of disgust and discomfort”, He says. All this does for her, the fifth season is “the most dangerous”.

This is not the only scandal surrounding the then heir to the throne. On Lorraine Kelly’s show, the TV host invited royal editor Russell Myers and reporter Lucy Cave to discuss the new season and specifically criticized a scene in which the eldest son tries to work out a plan with then Prime Minister John Major to dethrone the queen. A scene that, as Major denounced, never happened.

Lorraine affirmed it “There is enough drama that you have to make things up” and Myers got it back. “That’s the point. We’re separating fact and fiction. If the lines get confused, where does it end?”. The question of the the truthfulness of the facts is the subject of most of the criticisms directed at the seriesfrom both the royal family and royal experts.

Reviews pile up.

Beyond the complaints of the British royal family, who have been campaigning against the Netflix series two years ago, the critics are divided. BBC considers it a “Soap a compelling work but badly told”while The Guardian states it “the real drama has never been less relevant” Y “the relevance of the series is decreasing”.

On the other hand, the evaluation of the performance of the cast is largely positiveexcept for The Guardian, which considers them “Cartoon”On the contrary, Radio Times praised the authors of the series and highlighted the “awesome” Elizabeth Debicki’s performance as Diana. It is also one of the most positive means, as it feels it “does not represent the Royal Family with malice” and manages to entertain with a “winning formula”. However, Time magazine considers it “the weakest to date”.
