Former prime ministers dismiss as ‘utter rubbish’ scenes depicting Prince Charles lobbying them to help overthrow his mother
Two former prime ministers have condemned The Crown for showing the King trying to involve them in a plot against his mother.
Sir Tony Blair warned that scenes depicting him and the former Prince of Wales in cahoots against Queen Elizabeth II were “complete and utter rubbish”.
Sir John Major said that “utterly untrue” storylines presented as fact so soon after the death of the Queen would be devastating for the Royal family.
He wrote in a letter to The Telegraph that such scenes “will be profoundly hurtful to a family who are still grieving for the very person on whose life the entire drama was founded”.
