The Duke of Sussex said: "They don't pretend to be news. It's fiction. But it's loosely based on the truth. Of course, it's not strictly accurate."
He continued: "It gives you a rough idea about what that lifestyle, what the pressures of putting duty and service above family and everything else, what can come from that."
Prince Harry added that he feels more comfortable with The Crown's dramatisation of events in the Royal Family than stories he sees in the press in a swipe at media outlets.
The royal said: "I'm way more comfortable with The Crown than I am seeing the stories written about my family, or my wife, or myself.
