Prince Harry says he watches The Crown to make sure Netflix gets it right

The Duke of Sussex has admitted he watches and fact-checks the Netflix series The Crown.

Speaking with the host of The Late Show, Stephen Colbert, on Tuesday night in the US, Harry said he has watched “the older stuff and the more recent stuff” from the show.

In his final interview about the release of his new book, Spare, the duke compared The Crown to his memoir, saying it is “important history has it right”.

At the end of the interview, CBS presenter Colbert asked: “You’ve watched The Crown, right? You’ve got to have watched some of The Crown, right?”

Harry looked at the audience and paused briefly before saying: “There’s people laughing at that – yes, I have actually watched The Crown.”

“The recent stuff or the older stuff?” Colbert asked.

The duke replied: “The older stuff and the more recent stuff.”

Colbert continued: “Do you fact-check it while you watch it?”

Harry then jokingly pretended to take out a notepad and mimed taking notes before laughing: “Yes, I do actually.”

He then pointed to a copy of his book and added: “Which, by the way, is another reason why it’s important that history has it right.”
