The Crown star claims the Queen ‘has to die’ for Prince Charles’ life to have ‘meaning’

Harsh comments ahead of series three…

Season three of The Crown is set to be released on Netflix this weekend and we’re guessing one will not be amused when she hears the comments made by one of the stars of the show.

Josh O’Connor, who plays Prince Charles in the royal drama, has said that the Queen “has to die” in order for Prince Charles’s life to have “meaning”.

The comments will no doubt do little to enamour the real-life monarch to the show.

Back in the summer it was claimed that she was “upset” about how the show depicted her husband Prince Philip and his treatment of son Charles.
