Former Prime Minister Major Says The Crown Is ‘Barrel Load of Nonsense’

Prince Harry is under new pressure to quit Netflix the crown On Sunday, after former “Special Regent” and former British Prime Minister Sir John Major called the show “a pernicious and pernicious fantasy” and “a barrel load of nonsense”.

Major, who ruled Britain from 1990 to 1997, made his remarks before the House of Representatives mail on sunday After the newspaper reported that the first episode of the new series showed Charles pressing Major to urge the Queen to abdicate.

The Mail Reports indicate that Charles, played by Dominic West, discusses Edward VII, son of Queen Victoria with the major, and says: “It was said that Queen Victoria did not trust him, and thought he was dangerous and free-thinking. He yearned for responsibilities, but his mother refused. He even He was prevented from seeing the state papers. However, when his time came, he proved his skeptics wrong and his dynamism, intellect, and popular appeal made his rule a victory.”

The fictional pioneer asks him to make his point, to which Charles replies, “What a pity, what a waste, I say, that his voice, his presence, his vision, were not previously incorporated. It would have been good for all.”

The major himself has now issued a lengthy statement to Mailsaying, in part: “If the scenes you describe were to be aired, they should only be seen as pernicious and malicious fiction. A barrel load of nonsense was traded for no other reason than to provide maximum dramatic effect—and wholly false.”

Major’s intervention is likely to put pressure on Prince Harry, who has signed a multi-million dollar production deal with the broadcasting giant, to publicly criticize the show because Major was one of Harry’s trusted advisers.

He was appointed “special trustee” for William and Harry after Diana’s death and was responsible for the legal and administrative affairs of William and Harry.

The relationship continued, and Major was the only British politician who was invited to Harry and Meghan’s wedding.
