'The Crown' peddles subversive republican message, says royal historian via SABCNewsOnline

The third season of the hit Netflix show was released on Sunday, portraying events around Elizabeth and her family from the mid-1960s until 1977.

However, royal historian Hugo Vickers has penned the book “The Crown Dissected”, to expose the fiction, saying the show features ludicrous events, misrepresents characters and includes some “idiotic scenes”. “I think there is a subtle subversive republican message. If you want to find out more about that, go and look at what Peter Morgan has been saying in order to promote the series. He’s quite rude about all of them.”

The drama series about the royals have recently been overshadowed by the intrigue surrounding the Windsors themselves.
