Royal fans to watch The Crown in droves as new season full of ‘drama’

Vanity Fair’s royal correspondent Katie Nicholl claimed royal fans are bound to watch the imminent series of The Crown in droves, as the new season is brimming with “drama with capital D.” The much anticipated Netflix series will cover the early to mid-1990s, a period in which the marriage of then-Prince Charles and Princess Diana was rapidly disintegrating. The Royal Family – and most specifically King Charles and Queen Consort – are reportedly growing concerned about the damage it could have on their reputation, as they have just risen the throne.Vanity Fair’s royal correspondent and a cohost of the podcast DYNASTY, Katie Nicholl told GB News: “I think the producers and Peter Morgan must be clapping their hands with joy because look how much coverage this series has had before we’ve even seen the first episode of season five. “It’s just had so much press with these trailers being very carefully drip-fed to us. “It’s interesting,” Ms Nicholl said, “I’ve been on social media and I regularly see what my followers are saying. Very few are saying: ‘we’re actually going to boycott this series’.”There’s such an interesting in wating to see it, so it’s absolutely going to be drama with capital D.” Katie Nicholl said royals fans will flock to watch the new series of The Crown (Image: YOUTUBE/@GBNEWS GETTY) Katie Nicholl said royal fans will ‘not boycott’ the Netflix series (Image: YOUTUBE/@GBNEWS)Ms Nicholl said: “I think you’re going to see duty reflected in it because let’s not forget, that this is a fictional series based on real events. “And of course, you will see that theme of duty running through it. “But I think far more than duty, we will see drama. You’re going to see the big episodes of the 1990s.”The royal correspondent said Netflix “did the right thing by adding a disclaimer to the trail.”READ MORE: Prince Charles star on ‘sordid’ The Crown moment The new Netflix season will focus on the divorce of King Charles and Princess Diana (Image: GETTY) King Charles and Queen Camilla reportedly fear the release of the Netflix series (Image: GETTY)”I think people must remember it is drama” because “the last thing King Charles and his audience would want is for the start of his reign to be overshadowed by probably the most critical and difficult period in recent royal history.”The death of the Queen and the ascencion of King Charles to the throne has turned the spotlight on The Crown, whose fifth season focuses on the early to mid-1990s. The new season of the Netflix series will centre on King Charles’ breakdown and divorce with Princess Diana – a time both King Charles and Queen Camilla would rather sweep under the carpet to avoid embarassment as the two of them have just risen to the throne.Several politicians and celebrities have raised concerns about the damaging effect the imminent series could have on the Royal Family’s reputation, calling on the streaming giant to add a disclaimer to the new season.DON’T MISS:King Charles unfazed by actor’s portrayal on The Crown [REPORT]  Camilla’s response to The Crown star who tried to quit Prince’s Trust [REPORT]  The Crown’s Dominic West claims Camilla was ‘badly treated’ [REPORT]   Sir John Major described the Crown series as a ‘barrel-load of nonsense’ (Image: GETTY)In an open letter to The Times, the Oscar-winning actress Dame Judi Dench accused Netflix of seemingly “blurring the lines between history accuracy and crude sensationalism.”Former Prime Minister John Major, who will be featured plotting the ousting of Queen Elizabeth with then-Prince Charles, has issued the same call, dismissing The Crown as a “barrel-load of nonsense”. “Series five is a fictional dramatisation, imagining what could have happened behind closed doors during a significant decade for the royal family – one that has already been scrutinised and well-documented by journalists, biographers and historians,” a spokesperson for Sir Major said.Amid growing pressure, Netfix has responded favourably to their demands and added a disclaimer to its marketing, saying the show is a “fictional dramatisation”, “inspired by real-life events”. The new Netflix season is due to be released on November 9, nine weeks after the Queen’s death.READ NEXT:Camilla shares Charles’ unusual talent and why grandkids ‘adore him’Should King Charles strip Meghan and Harry of royal titles?
