<p>Netflix will not append a disclaimer making clear <em>The Crown</em> is <a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/king-charles-plans-to-keep-calm-and-carry-on-over-the-crown-friends-say">a fictional rendering of historical events</a>, The Daily Beast can exclusively reveal.</p>
<p>A source at Netflix told The Daily Beast that a “new disclaimer has not been added,” and emphasized the company line that <em>The Crown</em> “has always been presented as <a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/the-crown-is-not-reality-but-it-is-also-not-crazy-fiction">a drama inspired by</a> historical events.”</p>
<p>However the final decision by Netflix not to add a disclaimer to the show, which drops Monday, will come as a major disappointment to King Charles’s friends and loyal supporters who have been quietly and not-so-quietly campaigning for the show to clarify it is fiction. They have been prompted to act over concerns that the new series <a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/prince-harrys-netflix-partnership-questioned-as-the-crown-reveals-recreation-of-dianas-interview">will show Charles in a bad light</a>.</p>
