The Crown’s Final Season Sparks Controversy: Critics Slam Historical Inaccuracies and Dramatic Liberties

As The Crown’s acclaimed saga reaches its conclusion, the final season is stirring controversy for its portrayal of major royal events and characters from the tumultuous 1990s. Critics, including historian Hugo Vickers, are pointing out historical inaccuracies and dramatic fabrications that have ignited a debate over the show’s commitment to truth.

One prominent critique comes from historian Hugo Vickers, who lambasted Imelda Staunton’s portrayal of Queen Elizabeth II as a “bored housewife,” accusing the show of overlooking the monarch’s wit and humor during challenging times. Vickers suggests that the depiction does not align with the true character of the reigning queen.

The Crown is also under fire for allegedly fabricating details for dramatic effect. One notable instance includes scenes depicting Princess Diana’s final days with Dodi Fayed before her tragic death. Vickers expressed frustration, stating, “They could not give a d*mn about getting details right — they just want the drama.”

Discrepancies between the show and reality have been brought to light, with claims such as Diana turning down a marriage proposal being unproven. The portrayal of Princess Diana’s articulate and composed demeanor in the face of turmoil has also been contested, with critics arguing that the show does not accurately capture the true chaos she was experiencing.

Sally Bedell Smith, a royal biographer, took issue with scenes contradicting the queen’s decisive actions after Diana’s death. In contrast to The Crown’s portrayal, Smith clarified, “It was the queen who dispatched the aircraft to France.” Critics argue that such inaccuracies diminish the real actions taken by the royal family during that period.

The Crown’s creator, Peter Morgan, defended the inclusion of fabricated scenes, asserting his role as a dramatist exploring royal lives. However, critics argue that such alterations not only do a disservice to the truth but also disrespect the memory of Princess Diana and other real individuals involved in these historical events.

While The Crown continues to captivate audiences with its compelling drama, the final season’s departure from historical accuracy has sparked a heated debate. Critics emphasize that the real-life events of the 1990s are compelling enough without the need for embellishments that compromise the authenticity of the narrative and, in turn, the respect owed to the individuals whose lives are being portrayed.
