Prince Charles will be the next monarch, following Queen Elizabeth. What does he think of the titillating drama?
Royal Family News: Prince Charles Has Seen The Crown
According to People, Scottish politician Anas Sarwar claims that Prince Charles referred to the Netflix show while introducing himself to Parliament members at an event in 2021. Sarwar spoke recently at the 2022 Edinburgh Festival Fringe, and spilled the dirt.
According to the Daily Mail, Sarwar recalled of Charles, “He came over and went, ‘Hello, nice to meet you all. I’m nowhere near how they portray me on Netflix. I thought that was a really interesting way of how you describe yourself.” It’s also a rather defensive position to take, or perhaps Charles doth protest too much?
Sarwar added, “I’m going to be in so much trouble for this because I don’t think you are meant to tell private conversations!”

In seasons 3 and 4 which depicted Prince Charles’ young adulthood, he was portrayed by Josh O’Connor. This included the future king’s romance and wedding to the late Princess Diana. O’Connor was so spot on that he earned an Emmy in 2021 for his work.
The Crown’s final two seasons are on the way, and in them the role of Prince Charles has been given to Dominic West.

Meanwhile, Mike Tindall, who is married to the Queen’s granddaughter Zara, has talked about the show. He has mentioned The Crown on his podcast, The Good, The Bad, and the Rugby.
And then there is runaway royal Prince Harry. During his epically comical (in all the wrong ways) appearance on The Late Late Show with James Corden in 2021, he said this: “It gives you a rough idea about that lifestyle, and the pressures of putting duty and service above family and everything else, and what can come from that.” Said the man who threw down his tiara and ran away to America to chase the dollar. So much for duty and service from the court jester.
