Dame Judi Dench is the latest high-profile figure to call for a disclaimer to be added to The Crown to make clear the series is not necessarily true.

The actress said Netflix "seems willing to blur the lines between historical accuracy and crude sensationalism".

Dame Judi said there was a risk that "a significant number of viewers" would take its events as historical truth.

It’s not exactly a new phenomenon when it comes to light entertainment. Why should the Uk's royalty be any different to any other subject tv deals with? 

the most worrying aspect of ALL quasi-documentary / historical dramas is that there are people out there who think this is what really happened..... I call it "X-files" syndrome.
