Netflix has released a statement in defense of The Crown after the show received criticism over the upcoming fifth season. Former Prime Minister Sir John Major recently branded the drama series as "damaging and malicious fiction" after an episode storyline involving him and the then-Prince of Wales was revealed, which the former politician branded as "nonsense". The streaming giant said in a statement that The Crown has always been presented as a drama based on historical events, and an imagining of what could have happened behind closed doors during a significant decade for the royal family. Season five will be released on Netflix on the 9 November and will star big names including Dominic West, Elizabeth Debicki and Imelda Staunton.

The film will be shown in cinemas for a limited time on November 17 before its official release on Paramount+ later this year. Liam said in a statement he was still trying to get his head around his return to Knebworth, adding it was beyond biblical he got to play there so many years apart to multiple generations.
