PRINCE Harry has sensationally DEFENDED The Crown, telling James Cordon the Netflix show gives a “rough idea” of royal life.
Despite controversial scenes showing his mother Princess Diana’s mental health battles and a somewhat negative portrayal of his father Prince Charles, Harry insisted he is “comfortable” with the show.
Appearing on The Late Late Show, Harry said “They don’t pretend to be news, it’s fictional but it’s loosely based on the truth.
“Of course it’s not strictly accurate, but, loosely, it gives you a rough idea about what that lifestyle, what the pressures of putting duty and service above family and everything else, what can come from that.
“I am way more comfortable with The Crown than I am seeing the stories written about my family, or my wife or myself.”
Harry also gave a fascinating insight into his relationship with the Queen during the wide-ranging interview, revealing she gifted her 21-month-old great-grandson Archie a waffle maker for Christmas.
“Interesting, my grandmother asked us what Archie wanted for Christmas, and Meg said a waffle maker. She sent us a waffle maker for Archie.”
He also revealed the Queen and Prince Phillip are regular Zoom users but joked that his grandfather simply shuts the laptop when their chats are over rather than logging off.
