Read our privacy policy Netflix has been urged to issue an apology over a “shockingly malicious” scene in The Crown following the Duke of Edinburgh’s death. Prince Philip’s recent death has prompted remarks from royal biographer Sally Bedell Smith concerning a particular scene in Netflix’s hit drama, which chronicles the life of Queen Elizabeth II. Season two of The Crown featured flashbacks to the death of Prince Philip’s sister. During the funeral scene, his father is heard saying to a young Prince Philip : “You are the reason we are all here, burying my favourite child.” Royal biographer Smith has since urged Netflix to apologise to the royal family over the scene, telling The Daily Mail: “ had nothing to do with his sister’s death… Cecilie did die in an air crash but that’s the only thing that was true.
