Prince William's School Has Something To Say To Producers Of The Crown
Olivia Owen Prince William will be relieved to know that his alma mater has his back. Eton College, which William and Prince Harry attended, has refused to allow the Netflix drama "The Crown" to film on its grounds.
The show's upcoming season will reportedly cover William's reaction to the demise of his parents' marriage. "Eton didn't want anything to do with 'The Crown,'" a source told the Daily Mail. "It's very much aware of the criticism of the series."
But the streaming service denies that it even approached the school about utilizing its campus for the show. "Netflix did not approach Eton and always intended to use Winchester College as a location," a spokesperson told Express.
Buckingham Palace and Althorp, the estate owned by Diana's brother, Charles Spencer, have also denied the show's requests to film. "The Crown asked if they could film at Althorp and I said obviously not," Spencer said. "The worry for me is that people see a program like that and they forget that it is fiction."
