We ignore real events and focus on feelings, not facts, The Crown cast admit

THE Crown's cast have revealed they "ignore real events" and they "don't think about'" facts - as they defend the series backlash.

The Crown viewers are celebrating the arrival of the show’s fifth season on Netflix.

Netflix has been under scrutiny to introduce a disclaimer for The Crown amid fury over its faked storylines based on the Royals.

The actors have come out and defended the series and creator Peter Morgan as "humanizing the royals" and focusing on "what they are feeling".

Jonathan Pryce, who plays Prince Philip said: "It's all part of our story."

He added: "We enter into it as characters in a story. It's just like normal filmmaking. You don't think about those real events - at least, I don't."

Jonathan's character, Prince Phillip is portrayed having an "intimate" friendship with Penny Knatchbull in the new series.

Lesley Manville who plays Princess Margaret also shared that she ignores "real events" and defended the show saying: "It' s more about what these people are thinking."

She continued: "The thing is, about our scripts, it can absolutely hone in what any of these characters are feeling.

When the public watches a real public event, you don't know. You have to imagine how they're feeling."

She concluded: "It's great to be able to tell the private and personal stories about these people and view them in that way.'

Some scenes have caused a stir including the portrayal of an "intimate" friendship between Prince Philip and a close friend, Penny Knatchbull.

Just moments after the release of The Crown season five landed it was slapped with stern warning over shocking Princess Diana scenes.
