The Prince: The Crown’s New Competition On HBO Max That Is More Controversial

In recent years, the streaming service Netflix found in The Crown a success that adds to the rank of the many that his library has. Not only did she get a positive response from viewers by portraying the life of Queen Elizabeth II, she was also considered for multiple major awards such as the Emmys or the Golden Globes. That is why HBO Max pointed to the same side, but with a more controversial look.. Will it be superior?

As we know, the creator of The Crown, Peter Morgan, he took his licenses recreating moments of British royalty on television, something that infuriated them and they asked Netflix before each episode to notify that it is a fiction and not reality, but there was no response to this request. In addition, from the family environment they have come out to criticize her more than once for “telling only part of the story.”

The truth is Queen Elizabeth II has no peace and will have to deal with another production that has already started a controversy. Is about The Prince, a 12 episode show that will be an animated satire of the royal family, in which we see the residents and staff of Buckingham Palace through the eyes of Prince George, the eldest son of príncipe William y Kate Middleton, Duchess of Cambridge.

The first problem the series faces, according to the comments of some critics, is that it gives the feeling that some children are being made fun of, beyond being princes, and so he assured Omid Scobie, correspondent for royalty: “They have been parodied in dozens of programs over the years, but I reckon this is the first time that children are included”. Shola Mos-Shogbamimu, a British activist, shot: “Parodying him to make fun of him is not funny”.

To give you an idea of ​​how it can be in terms of its content, we inform you that the writer, executive producer and voice of Prince George is Gary Janetti, who was a screenwriter for Family Guy. The voice cast includes Orlando Bloom, Condola Rashad, Lucy Punch, Tom Hollander, Alan Cumming, Frances de la Tour, Iwan Rheon, Dan Stevens y Sophie Turner. At the moment there was no call for attention from royalty as happened with The Crown, but it is expected that there will be at least one notice.
