Netflix accused of 'buying Prince Harry's silence' over controversial finale of The Crown


Prince Harry has been heavily criticised for his continued association with Netflix as the final series of The Crown is due for release in the coming weeks.

The series has become controversial for its highly critical and inaccurate depictions of members of the Royal Family and its refusal to include a disclaimer stating that the show is a fictionalised drama – something Dame Judi Dench, a friend of King Charles, has espoused herself.

But despite this, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex continue to be aligned with the streaming giant, as they have a multimillion pound deal with Netflix.

This has long been criticised and now Lady Colin Campbell has issued a fresh attack on Harry for “betraying his family” with his allegiance to the company.

Speaking on GB News the commentator claims she thinks Netflix has effectively bought Harry’s silence, before going on to heavily criticise the King’s youngest son.

She said: “I think Netflix has pulled a very interesting one where Harry is concerned.

“Netflix has bought early silence. And let’s wait and see what happens, because The Crown has been a huge success for Netflix.

“How long Harry and Meghan’s association with Netflix is going to last will be interesting because what they have done is they have bought Harry’s silence with dangling a few million carrots are underneath his nose.

“So it’s a really interesting dynamic. I mean nobody could pay me enough money to betray my parents, but I suppose there is a different case.”

The sixth and final season of The Crown will be released in two parts in the coming weeks.

The first four episodes drop on November 16, followed by a further six episodes on December 14.

Netflix will focus on Princess Diana’s fatal car crash, her funeral and the early years of Prince Harry and Prince William’s life in this final season.

Many have raised concerns that the series is too close to the modern day.
