The Crown : 'Prince Charles' Not Responded In Usually Way Towards His Characterization

Prince Charles Glimpse At The Crown

Speaking at the 2022 Edinburgh Festival Fringe, Scottish politician Anas Sarwar said that Prince Charles referenced the Netflix show, a dramatic take on Queen Elizabeth's reign while introducing himself to Parliament members at an event last year.

He came over and went, hello, nice to meet you all. I'm nowhere near how they portray me on Netflix, Sarwar recalled, according to the Daily Mail. He thought that was a really interesting way how you describe yourself.

Sarwar continued, I'm going to be in so much trouble for this because I don't think you are meant to tell private conversations!

Prince Charles, 73, was portrayed by Josh O'Connor in seasons 3 and 4, depicting Charles' young adulthood, including his early romance and wedding to Princess Diana. O'Connor earned an Emmy in 2021 for his work.

It gives you a rough idea about that lifestyle, the pressures of putting duty and service above family and everything else, and what can come from that, the Duke of Sussex said.
