Netflix will not be adding a disclaimer to “The Crown” that states the show is fictionalized, Variety has confirmed.
Last week, U.K. Culture Secretary Oliver Dowden asked that such a label be added to the show in an interview with Daily Mail, citing that he fears “a generation of viewers who did not live through these events may mistake fiction for fact.”
However, Netflix disagrees, and believes that their viewers are aware of its fictionalized nature.
“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,” a Netflix spokesperson tells Variety. “As a result we have no plans — and see no need — to add a disclaimer.”
Dowden wrote a private letter to Netflix to discuss the matter, which was not made public, and the streamer did respond, though also privately.
Season 4 of “The Crown” sees the royal family’s storyline inching closer to the present day, with Princess Diana being one of its main focuses. “The Crown” depicts her struggles with bulimia in several episodes, which are flagged with a health warning at the beginning.
Emma Corrin, who portrays Princess Diana in “The Crown,” told Variety in an interview: “Those were difficult scenes to film and I also feel like taking her to that place was a good thing. It gave me somewhere to go with her, but I was exhausted a lot those days coming off set because at the same time as you’re playing someone who’s fictionalized and obviously you’re not feeling or thinking those things, it’s your job to make yourself feel that way.”
Deadline Hollywood was the first to report the news.
Após a polêmica, que já dura dias, sobre as críticas ao  e sua esposa Camilla incitadas pela quarta temporada da série da Netflix "The Crown", a provedora de filmes via streaming não indicou querer sinalizar a série com o aviso "esta é uma obra de ficção", pedido que teria sido feito, especialmente, pelo ministro da Cultura britânico, Oliver Dowden. 

A informação é da Variety que explicou que a Netflix entende "que seus espectadores estão cientes da natureza ficcional" da obra. 

'''A série e a polêmica'''

Exibida por temporadas, a The Crown conta a história recente da família real britânica, incluindo a vida da  enquanto membro da família, história que, justo, está sendo exibida na quarta temporada. 

E o que tem causado dor de cabeça não só no ministro, mas também no Príncipe, é o aumento da opinião negativa do público em relação a ele e Camilla, que devem subir ao trono dentro de alguns anos e que nunca tiveram uma boa aceitação pública devido à separação de Charles e Diana, que muitos atribuem a Camilla. A futura Rainha Consorte, segundo o site de pesquisas You Gov, amarga uma "opinião negativa" de 34% - contra apenas 6% de Kate, que será a Consorte após ela. 

As críticas ao casal foram tantas, que, dias atrás, a Casa Real teve que bloquear a conta ''Clarence House'' no Twitter para comentários do público. "Charles nunca será rei. Ele não merece", escreveu um internauta.
