It’s just like Dynasty – Oh it it is Dynasty
The Royal Family have been told they can sue Netflix over The Crown.
Friends shown in the new series consulted the Queen’s lawyers who said they and the royals had grounds for legal action, The Sun reports.
Close friends of the Firm, worried about their own portrayals in the upcoming fifth series, recently sought advice from top solicitors.

They included experts from the Queen’s favoured law firms Farrer & Co and Harbottle & Lewis.
The friends close to the monarchy were told that they are entitled to sue the show’s makers.
And crucially the pals have shared the advice with the Royal Family — paving the way for them to take historic action.
“Friends of the Royal Family sought legal advice,” a source said.
“The advice they received would also apply to the Royal Family.
“Although this is not direct legal advice given to the Queen and her family — they have been made aware of this advice.”
