I think they were open from the start that they were slanting though, it’s just it was a bit swooning and more romantic when it was set in the past. I remember the director talking about the Aberfan episode and saying they had to be really cautious because all that stuff really happened and there are still people out there who lived through it, which I guess wasn’t as important for everything else!

Should it be though? A lot of people were cracking up that it documented Charles’ affairs. I get that that would be awkward if William or Harry stumbled onto it but it isn’t fabrication

I know a few people who loved this show until it started to get negative about the royals, even for stuff that was demonstrably true, so this does track. I guess if you want to be squeamish about dramatising peoples real lives then you need to write off a lot of historical drama.
