\n London (AFP) \u2013 <\/span>Netflix has added a disclaimer to its hit series “The Crown” after a former British prime minister and acting royalty accused the streaming giant of confusing truth with fiction in its story lines. <\/p>\n

\n

The move came after one episode in the latest series showed the then Prince Charles plotting to oust his mother as monarch.<\/p>\n

The four currently available seasons of the show now appear on Netflix’s website with the words: “Inspired by real events, this fictional dramatization tells the story of Queen Elizabeth II and the political and personal events that shaped her reign.”<\/p>\n

Netflix had consistently resisted calls for it to add a disclaimer.<\/p>\n

The fifth series which focuses on the 1990s is due to be released on November 9.<\/p>\n

One episode depicts heir to the throne Charles attempting to draw then prime minister John Major into a conspiracy against his mother, which Major slammed as “damaging and malicious” fiction.<\/p>\n

“There was never any discussion between Sir John and the then Prince of Wales about any possible abdication of the late Queen Elizabeth II — nor was such an improbable and improper subject ever raised by the then Prince of Wales (or Sir John),” a statement issued by his office said.<\/p>\n

Veteran actress Judi Dench — who has played the role of Queen Victoria — added her voice to the critics on Wednesday, describing the series as “cruelly unjust” to the royal family.<\/p>\n

The Oscar-winning thespian, also the intelligence chief “M” in recent James Bond movies, berated Netflix in a letter to The Times newspaper and demanded the addition of a disclaimer.<\/p>\n

Previous story lines that have prompted criticism include one in which the late Prince Philip, the queen’s husband, is blamed by his father for causing his sister’s death.<\/p>\n

Royal biographer William Shawcross last week told AFP the series was filled with “lies and half-truths”, and that Philip had been “incredibly upset” by the unfactual story line.<\/p>\n

A spokeswoman last week defended the show as a “fictional dramatisation, imagining what could have happened behind closed doors”.<\/p>\n

Netflix was not immediately available for comment Friday.<\/p>\n
