No season of “The Crown” has caused such a sensation as the fifth. A close friend of the late Queen has now revealed why the series even makes her angry.
From the controversial cast to the topics covered, the fifth season of Netflix series The Crown isn’t going down well with everyone. Some even get really angry about the Royal series.
“The Crown”: Queen confidante angry at portrayal
Lady Anne Glenconner was herself part of the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in 1953, later lady-in-waiting and a close confidant of the late Princess Margaret. She recently opened up about The Crown on BBC 4’s Woman’s Hour. There she called the series “complete fantasy” and said it was “so unfair to the members of the royal family”. “It’s so annoying. I don’t watch ‘The Crown’ anymore because it just makes me so angry,” she explained.
One episode of the second season was particularly shocking for her. It claimed Prince Philip was responsible for his sister’s plane crash that resulted in her death. “That was utterly untrue,” said Lady Glenconner. “And I think it’s very hurtful to say that about people. Nobody wants their relationships to be messed up like that.”
She met Helena Bonham Carter
She also revealed that Helena Bonham Carter visited her for her own research. Bonham Carter played Queen’s sister Margaret in seasons three and four. “She came for about two hours. I told her how Princess Margaret smoked and how she walked,” revealed Lady Glenconner.

But the implementation of the film actress did not please her at all afterwards. “I saw Helena after she starred in ‘The Crown’ and she said, ‘How did you like it?’ And I said, ‘Well, quite disappointed.’ And she said, ‘I know. But the thing is, I’m an actress and I have to do what’s written for me,'” she recalled in the interview.
Netflix itself has stated that The Crown is “always presented as a drama [wurde]which is based on historical events”. While the royal family and family confidants do not consider the result to be particularly successful, fans are enthusiastic about the royal series.
