British aristocrat speaks out against The Crown's portrayal of Camilla

As season five of The Crown gears up to tackle the separation of then-Prince Charles and Princess Diana, one fellow aristocrat is concerned for the portrayal of Queen Consort Camilla.

Speaking on Good Morning Britain, Lady Victoria Hervey, who is the daughter of the 6th Marquess of Bristol and sister to the 8th, has voiced her concerns about Netflix's impending portrayal of the scandal that rocked the royal family, especially Camilla.

"Netflix says that it's fiction and it's not reality. That's the whole argument with this new series, but a lot of people watching it actually see it as a documentary," she said on the show.

"They don't see it as fiction. The outside story is real, but the inside story is all made up. I think that's what they're going to be doing with this."

She also thinks it's too soon, hitting out at The Crown for releasing season five on schedule, despite the recent death of the Queen.

"I think it is insensitive. I think it is a little bit too soon. The Queen's death was only a month ago," she commented.

"Especially with the coronation coming up and Camilla, everyone is really accepting her in her role right now and I think it's going to be trying to paint her in a negative light."

Buckingham Palace seemingly agrees with Hervey, even coming out with a statement three weeks ago reminding everyone that The Crown is "a drama not a documentary".

Season five of the hit show will be portraying the events of the 1990s, a decade rife with strife for the royal family.

It includes Queen Elizabeth's "annus horribilis", 1992, due to the divorces of three of her children, including Prince Charles and Princess Diana, as well as the fire that engulfed her beloved Windsor Castle.

The show is also thought to touch on Princess Diana's death in 1997.
