Netflix has been barred from Eton College being used as filming locations for The Crown. This was after Netflix was revealed to have published a “sinister” tweet regarding the Royal Family.
The £14,000-a-term all boys school, in Windsor, Berkshire, said it wanted nothing to do with the hit series, which chronicles the lives of the British monarchy throughout the 20th century.
This is after palace officials reacted in anger to Netflix’s December tweet asking viewers to view a documentary about Princess Diana. They claimed it would give ‘answers to critics of the flagship series.
Critics have claimed that the Crown’s story of Prince Charles’s breakdown in marriage to Princess of Wales had been distorted and even inaccurate.
According to the Daily Mail, a source from the school of 581 years old said that Eton wanted nothing to do with The Crown.

It is expected that The Crown’s upcoming series will be controversial. This series will focus on Prince William’s response to his mother’s breakdown in marriage to Charles. (Photo: William at Eton College).
Netflix’s promotion of Diana: In Her Own Words on Netflix was supported by a video. It showed the Duchess in an unflattering light, appearing to suggest that she wanted to be romantically involved right from the beginning of Charles’ marriage to Diana.
It was alleged that the post sparked an online storm of abuse against Prince Charles and Camilla, with some messages being too crude to be printed.
Following the scandal, Eton decided to forgo the series. However, Winchester College in Hampshire was selected as the filming location.
As it covers Prince William’s response to their marital breakup, the Crown’s upcoming series will be controversial.

Eton’s decision is in line with Althorp and Buckingham Palace, which were owned by Diana’s brother.
Earl Spencer explained that “The Crown inquired if they could film in Althorp” and “I said clearly not,” Earl Spencer replied.
“The concern for me is that viewers see such a program and forget it’s fiction.”
The Eton College spokesperson declined to comment.
Netflix denied it requested to film at Winchester College, according to a spokesperson.

Diana is heard speaking in her voice over about how Camilla sent her a letter inviting to lunch following Prince Charles’ five-week trip through America, Venezuela and New Zealand.
Camilla was concerned that the lunch had been a bit complicated and asked Camilla if she’d be joining them for future hunting trips. She implied she’d be able to visit Charles even though she wasn’t there.
Diana can also be heard explaining the footage and photos she took of Charles crying before he left. She said that Camilla called Charles just prior to his visit, which made her cry.
Hear her say, “Leave it to them.”
A voiceover part relays Diana’s shock at finding a bracelet Charles made for Camilla.
Penny Junor, royal biographer, says that Charles gifted Camilla this bracelet after a last lunch with his ex.
Also, it is well known that Prince Charles was almost completely absent from Camilla during the five-years of his marriage with Diana. According to some reports, contact with Camilla was resumed in 1986.
