According to Angela Levin, a royal biographer, Prince Harry watched Netflix’s The Crown, which she claimed criticized the Royal Family, and now he has inked a contract with them.

Ms. Levin recalled asking Harry if he had seen The Crown during a conversation at Kensington Palace.

According to reports, he responded: “Yes, we’re all absolutely watching everything. But I’m going to insist it stops before it reaches me.”

According to the royal expert, the chat between her and Harry took place roughly two years ago. At that time The Crown was in its second season.

While recalling the previous conversation Ms. Levin said, “And he’s now actually doing what I think is so disloyal and rude.”
