Netflix balked at a request by the UK’s then-culture secretary to put a disclaimer on The Crown—one that would make clear that its portrayal of the British royal family isn’t accurate—with the release of the show’s fourth season, which portrayed a tumultuous time in Charles and Diana’s relationship. But the chorus has only grown louder ahead of the Nov. 9 premiere of the fifth season, which will take viewers through the couple’s divorce. In a letter to the UK Times, Dame Judi Dench, one of Britain’s most distinguished actors, demands Netflix add a disclaimer „for the sake of a family and a nation so recently bereaved, as a mark of respect to a sovereign who served her people so dutifully for 70 years, and to preserve their own reputation.
