Netflix has ‘no plans’ to add disclaimer to ‘The Crown’

Los Angeles: Netflix will not add any disclaimer to the beginning of episodes of its period royal drama “The Crown” after the recently released fourth season of the series courted controversy over its depiction of the British royal family and other public figures, the streaming platform said.

Earlier this week, UK’s Culture Secretary Oliver Dowden wrote a letter to Netflix, asking for a disclaimer to be added that makes it clear to its subscribers that the show is partly a work of fiction.

Denying the request, the streamer said, its subscribers are “understand” the show is a “work of fiction”.
