British Royal News suggests that The Crown might not be the fictionalized series that some people are pretending it to be. In fact, royal reporter and biographer Omid Scobe insists that The Crown is actually well-researched, thanks to all of the royal reporting that was done back in the 1990’s. Here’s what you need to know.

British Royal News: Omid Scobie Insists The Crown Is A Well-Researched Series
While there sure are a lot of people who are maybe shaking in their boots over the fifth season of The Crown and what it might hold, Scobie says that everything fans will see on the small screen actually did happen in real life, for better or for worse. In his new column for Yahoo, Scobie insists that Netflix does have the receipts when it comes to all of the royal chaos that happened behind closed palace doors.
He puts it this way, “This chaotic decade – which ended with public support for the monarchy at its lowest – became the House of Windsor’s worst in history. And thanks to how publicly many of its scandals played out, they’re also some of the most documented. But despite the abundance of material banked in historical archives, the push to label The Crown as a total work of fiction has become fiercer than ever. Just like many things (and people) initially embraced by The Firm, the show has now become the enemy.”

What’s more, Scobie says that he’s already watched the fifth season of the highly-anticipated royal series and says that because of the embargo, he can’t say much about it, but does confirm that it is actually well-sourced and well-researched. He continued, “I can say that a lot of this series takes its lead from information readily available in the public domain, be it on-the-record television interviews, Diana’s audio tapes to Andrew Morton, numerous biographies (including Jonathan Dimbleby’s 1994 book, which Charles co-operated with) and archival reporting from British newspapers.”

Scooby-Doo you know your not the most “unbiased” pencil in the box. As usual your spouting off without knowing everything. Maybe you can retire in Monoceto with the other mis-informed people.
