The Crown recently became the subject of controversy when Culture Secretary Oliver Dowden suggested that it should be presented with a disclaimer identifying the show as a work of fiction.
Netflix hit back at those remarks, stating: "We have always presented The Crown as a drama – and we have every confidence our members understand it’s a work of fiction that’s broadly based on historical events. As a result we have no plans – and see no need – to add a disclaimer."
