Dame Judi Dench's Comments

A week ago, Dame Judi Dench sent an open letter to The Times (UK) condemning The Crown for a hurtful and inaccurate presentation of history. She called for Netflix to display a disclaimer that the series is a fictionalised drama at the beginning of every episode. A similar call was made by Helena Bonham Carter, a former cast member earlier.

Netflix added a disclaimer to the YouTube video description for the Season 5 trailer. This disclaimer has already been in use on The Crown's Netflix landing page.
