However, in a recent survey conducted by The Mirror into audience views on the drama’s fourth reason, the majority were also against such a warning. 56% voted ‘No’ to the question ‘Should The Crown carry a fiction warning at the start of every episode?’, while 38% answered ‘Yes’ and 6% answered ‘Don’t Know’. As some suggested the series has been damaging to the Royal Family, Mirror readers were not quite so convinced. On average, the Mirror readers’ rating for season 4 was at 3.8 out of 5 stars, with the majority at 47% giving the run of episodes the full 5 stars. It appears that Mirror readers, on the whole, agree with cast members and Netflix that the series does not need a disclaimer.
