All good things come to an end. Helena Bonham Carter is urging Netflix to conclude their Royal drama series ‘The Crown.’ The British actress didn’t shy away from expressing her opinions on how the show is no longer what it started as.
Helena Bonham Carter’s comment comes at a time when the British royal family is shaken by familial disharmonious. Prince Harry’s autobiography has split the public opinion of the Royal family and Prince Harry. While Helena refuses to comment on ‘Spare,’ she’s not shying away from the fact that the show must come to a close.

Despite being a part of the show, Helena Carter is not sure if the show must go on. She played Princess Margaret in seasons 3 and 4 of the prestigious Netflix drama. While she appreciates her work on the show, Helena believes it is no longer connected to its roots.
In her conversation with The Guardian, she tactfully spoke about ‘The Crown,’ “I don’t think they should carry on, actually. I’m in it and I loved my episodes, but it’s very different now. When The Crown started, it was a historic drama, and now it’s crashed into the present. But that’s up to them.”

‘The Crown’ has often walked a fine between fact and fiction. The show’s creator Peter Morgan has called out on several occasions. The Royal family has also maintained its distaste for the show. While one half criticizes him for a bombastic representation of the family, another half believes the show is too critical of the monarch.
Season five of ‘The Crown‘ came under fire for a scene between Prince Charles and Prime Minister John Major (played by Johny Lee Miller). The real-life Major was upset by this depiction and called the exchange in the scene a “barrel-load of nonsense.”
Dame Judi Dench has also expressed a similar sentiment to the John Major. She, too, believes that the show must consider how playing fast and loose with the facts can hurt the representation of the Royal family’s history.
A close personal friend of King Charles and Queen Camilla, she asked Netflix to consider adding a disclaimer preceding the start of every episode. The disclaimer will be a reminder that the show is only a fictional interpretation of the Royal family and is to be taken with a grain of salt.
