William wrote in a statement in April: “In my view, the fraudulent manner in which the interview was obtained significantly influenced what my mother said. The interview was instrumental in souring my parents’ relationship, and it has hurt countless others since. It is my firm belief that this Panorama program has no legitimacy and should never be broadcast again.” William continued, “It has effectively established a false narrative that has been commercialized by the BBC and others for over a quarter century.”

Season 5 of The Crown will begin streaming on Netflix November 9th.
