Prince Harry has made a bold move by submitting a pre-written resignation letter to Netflix, terminating the lucrative £85 million contract.
The decision comes in response to mounting criticism of the portrayal of the Royal Family in the hit series “The Crown.”
Royal commentator Dan Wooten has been vocal in urging the Duke of Sussex to sever ties with the streaming giant, citing the damaging impact on the monarchy.
In a scathing critique, Wooten condemned the latest season of “The Crown” for its portrayal of key royal figures such as the late Queen, King Charles, and Princess Diana.
Describing it as an “all-out assault,” he called for immediate action to end the controversial partnership between Netflix and the royal couple.
Wooten's call to arms included a suggestion for Harry to send a mock resignation letter to Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos.
The depiction of Diana's final days and the portrayal of King Charles in the series have sparked outrage among critics, with Wooten accusing Netflix of distorting historical events for dramatic effect.
The journalist emphasized the need for the royal couple to distance themselves from the damaging narrative perpetuated by “The Crown,” which has faced backlash from prominent figures like Dame Judi Dench and former Prime Ministers Sir John Major and Sir Tony Blair.
Despite the controversy surrounding the series, lead actors Elizabeth Debicki and Dominic West have defended the show's artistic license.
Debicki, who plays Diana, acknowledged the fictional nature of the drama, while West praised the authenticity and resonance of the storyline with audiences worldwide.
The decision to extend the show beyond its planned finale has stirred further debate within the entertainment industry.
In a separate development, King Charles has made strides in asserting his position as monarch by deviating from certain aspects of royal protocol.
A recent photograph capturing the King's 74th birthday celebration at Windsor showcased his relaxed demeanor, symbolizing a departure from the late Queen's formalities.
Body language expert Darren Stanton noted the King's growing confidence and social adeptness in public appearances.
Stanton highlighted Charles' evolution from a reserved young man to a more outgoing and engaging figure within the royal family.
The King's subtle gestures of assurance, such as placing his hand inside his jacket, have become emblematic of his newfound self-assurance.
Stanton also noted the influence of Charles' behavior on his sons, Princes William and Harry, signaling a generational shift in royal etiquette and communication style.
As King Charles navigates his role with increasing confidence and adaptability, observers anticipate further transformations in his approach to royal duties and public engagements.
The King's willingness to embrace change and project a more approachable image marks a significant departure from traditional royal norms.
