A former butler to King Charles III has blasted The Crown, claiming the show has failed to present Queen Consort Camilla in a “good light”. Grant Harrold, who worked for the King during his tenure as the Prince of Wales, said the smash-hit TV show skewed the narrative around the former Duchess of Cornwall. He said the show portrayed her “unfairly”, and added the Royal Family had to mitigate abuse directed her way.Speaking to Canadian betting site OnlineCasino.ca, he said the series’ previous installment led the “younger generation” to attack the Queen Consort.Mr Harrold told the site he remembered thinking her portrayal was “really not fair”, causing a “whole young generation” to “immediately attack” the then Duchess.He said they directed abuse at online posts from the Royal Family, with officials forced to turn off comments “because people were saying nasty things about the Duchess”.He added: “The fact that they have admitted stuff in the past and we know that, this generation doesn’t know that.”READ MORE: Meghan silenced as guest shares harrowing tale of daughter’s diagnosis ‘Really not fair’: The Crown blasted for not portraying Camilla in a ‘good light’ (Image: GETTY) Camilla reportedly can’t watch the Crown (Image: GETTY)They added the “vilification” causes her “a lot of stress”, with neither the King nor his wife willing to speak about these effects.Ms Levin wrote: ‘When a certain timeline story is revisited by the press, television or film, it causes the [Queen Consort] a lot of stress and she gets very upset.’That is the truth but neither she nor [King] Charles will talk about it.”The narrative is that she is the wicked woman, where Diana is presented as the victim and Camilla as evil.’DON’T MISSJuan Carlos of Spain’s ex-lover makes claim on book about UK ‘involvement’ in Diana death – ANALYSISMeghan hits back at the labels ‘b***h’ and ‘difficult’ in latest podcast – INSIGHTRoyal Family LIVE: Meghan and Harry’s bid to ‘cash in’ caused Queen to ‘finally hit back’ – LIVE BLOG The Crown Season 5 debuts on November 9 (Image: GETTY)She said: ‘1992 is not a year on which I shall look back with undiluted pleasure.’In the words of one of my more sympathetic correspondents, it has turned out to be an ‘annus horribilis.”The year saw unwanted scandals and other unhappy events, such as Princess Anne’s divorce from Captain Mark Phillips, Prince Andrew’s separation from Sarah Ferguson and a fire at Windsor Castle that consumed 115 rooms.The new series of The Crown is the first to come following the deaths of Queen Elizabeth II and her late husband, Prince Philip.
