The creator of \u201cThe Crown\u201d has hit back at criticism of the upcoming new season, insisting he has \u201cenormous sympathy\u201d for the new monarch, King Charles III.\n <\/p>\n

\n

Due to premiere on Netflix on November 9, the fifth season of the hit drama tackles the divorce of the then-Prince and Princess of Wales \u2013 as portrayed by Dominic West and Emma Debicki.\n <\/p>\n

\n

The show, which won the award for outstanding drama series at last year’s Emmy awards, has encountered some criticism for its portrayal of the royals.\n <\/p>\n

\n

Now Peter Morgan, the show’s creator, has responded in comments given to Variety. He said: \u201cI think we must all accept that the 1990s was a difficult time for the royal family, and King Charles will almost certainly have some painful memories of that period.\n <\/p>\n

\n

\u201cBut that doesn’t mean that, with the benefit of hindsight, history will be unkind to him, or the monarchy. The show certainly isn’t. I have enormous sympathy for a man in his position \u2013 indeed, a family in their position. People are more understanding and compassionate than we expect sometimes.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n

West and Debicki have also spoken out in defense of program makers, who they believe dealt with the subject matter sensitively.\n <\/p>\n

\n

Debicki \u2013 who takes over the role from Emma Corrin \u2013 said to Variety: \u201cPeter and the entire crew of this job do their utmost to really handle everything with such sensitivity and truth and complexity, as do actors.\n <\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThe amount of research and care and conversations and dialogue that happen over, from a viewer’s perspective, something probably that you would never ever notice is just immense. From that very first meeting [with] Peter, I knew that I’d entered into this space where this was taken seriously [in] a deeply caring way. So that’s my experience of the show.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n

West, who takes over from Josh O’Connor, described telling the story of the difficult period as a \u201cheavy, heavy responsibility \u2026 and something I think we all take pretty seriously.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n

The comments from Morgan and his cast come days after Netflix defended the show as a \u201cfictional dramatisation,\u201d after former British Prime Minister John Major slammed its depictions of his time in office as \u201cdamaging and malicious fiction\u201d and a \u201cbarrel-load of nonsense.\u201d\n <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
