The Crown accused of a 'monstrous lie’ in season two

If you're not hooked on The Crown, then where have you been?

It gives royal fans a dose of the Queen and her family like never before.

But one royal historian has recently come out taking aim at the popular Netflix series for fabricating a story line just for the sake of a good narrative.

We'll give you a warning right here. If you haven't binge-watched the full season yet there will be a major spoiler coming your way.

This season very much puts Prince Philip at front and centre stage of the narrative.

• Selena Gomez was suggested to play Meghan Markle... and the internet's not happy

• The Crown star heard about royal engagement 'quite early on'

But one very sensitive storyline to do with the death of the Duke of Edinburgh's elder sister in the penultimate episode of the season isn't quite right, according to the royal historian.

On 16 November 1937, Philip's sister Princess Cecile of Greece and Denmark boarded a flight to London from Germany with her husband Georg Donatus, Hereditary Grand Duke of Hesse, and their two sons.

Cecile was also eight months pregnant.

The airplane tragically hit a factory chimney near Ostend, Belgium and crashed into flames killing everyone who was on board.

The remains of a newborn baby were also found in the wreckage indicating Philip's elder sister had gone into labour and given birth on the plane.

In The Crown, we see a 16-year-old Philip attending the funeral in Germany looking utterly distraught and the prince is reunited with his mother and father whom he was estranged from.

"You're the reason we're all here burying my favourite child," Philip's father, Prince Andrew of Greece and Denmark, yells to him essentially blaming the young boy for Cecile's death.

The storyline indicates if Philip had not gotten in trouble at school he would have been home for the half-term holiday and his sister and her family would not have gotten on the plane.

However, royal historian Hugo Vickers told the Daily Mail, Cecile's death was "one of the worst things that ever happened" in Philip's life and the storyline is a "monstrous lie".

The historian goes on to explain the background to the whole story is "all fiction" and Cecile and her family were always planning to go to London for a wedding.

"I know this is not pretending to be factual but it sails very close to the wind and I think this is a particularly nasty thing to suggest," Vickers told the publication.

"I personally have never heard of any suggestion that Prince Philip was in any way responsible for his sister's death," he added. "It is very harsh and unfair to Prince Philip who is still living with this tragedy."
