In the funeral scene, the Duke’s father, Prince Andrew, tells him: “You are the reason we are all here, burying my favourite child.”
The reason Prince Philip was blamed in the drama is that the show suggests that Cecilie was on the plane because her brother had been banned from visiting her in Germany due to his behaviour at his school.
A royal expert said the Duke was hurt by the episode and has spoken out against it in light of his death.
Royal biographer Sally Bedell Smith said: “[Philip] had nothing to do with his sister’s death. Cecilie did die in an air crash but that’s the only thing that was true.
“Everything else was invented in a shockingly malicious way.”
The Crown is available to watch on Netflix.
