British Royal Family News is asking if you could imagine watching a television series that was loosely based on your family’s history and life? Well, Prince Harry certainly can as he recently admitted that he does watch The Crown on Netflix.
Not only does he watch it, but he also prefers it to all of the negative and nasty headlines that he reads about his family in the British press on a daily basis. Here’s what you need to know.
Even though they are royals, they are just like us, especially when it comes to their gift-giving skills. During Thursday night’s The Late Late Show With James Corden, Prince Harry opened up about why he left the royal family, what he thinks of Netflix’s The Crown, and how much his mental health is important to him.
British Royal Family News: Prince Harry’s Favorite Netflix Series Might Just Well Be The Crown
During James and Harry’s open-top double decker bus tour, they paid a visit to the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air house, did a military obstacle course and had high tea. That’s when the Duke and Duchess opened up about the British press and why he thinks Netflix’s The Crown is a harmless series.
The most recent season centered around the tumultuous marriage of his parents, Diana Spencer (played by Emma Corrin) and Prince Charles (Josh O’Connor).
“They don’t pretend to be news — it’s fictional, but it’s loosely based on the truth,” he said of the show. “It gives you a rough idea about what the pressures of putting duty and service above family and everything else — what can come from that.”
Prince Harry added, “I’m way more comfortable with ‘The Crown’ than I am seeing the stories written about my family or my wife or myself. That is obviously fiction — take it how you will — but this is being reported on as fact because it’s supposedly news. I have a real issue with that.”
Yet, it seems like Prince Harry’s brother Prince William thinks otherwise. Back in November, a source close to the Daily Mail said, “The Duke of Cambridge is none too pleased with it. He feels that both his parents are being exploited and being presented in a false, simplistic way to make money.”
Prince Harry also said that he would love to see Homeland actor Daniel Lewis play him in the upcoming seasons of The Crown. Let’s keep our fingers crossed that it happens!
