LONDON ā Netflix has āno plansā to add a disclaimer to āThe Crownā stating that its lavish drama about Britain's royal family is a work of fiction.
In a statement Saturday, Netflix said it has always presented the drama, as just that ā a drama.
āWe have always presented The Crown as a drama ā and we have every confidence our members understand itās a work of fiction thatās broadly based on historical events," it said.
āThe Crownā creator Peter Morgan, whose work also includes recent-history dramas āThe Queenā and āFrost/Nixon,ā has defended his work, saying it is thoroughly researched and true in spirit.
Charles Spencer, Dianaās brother, was one who called on Netflix to add a disclaimer.
