"It was very well done, it was beautifully acted, beautifully written," he said. "For me, I'm not completely comfortable with dramatizing people who are still alive and still living their lives because I think it's possible to be unfair. And in the second (season), I didn't think it was fair to Prince Philip, to the Duke of Edinburgh, based on very little."

And why is he not allowed to have an opinion about it?

Except for the unfair part, I agree with him - I won't watch because it creeps me out, but clips I've seen seem very good

What the hell is OP smoking, this is respectful and there's nothing wrong with it. Did the guy say something else that was bad?

It was on a podcast with Katie Couric which I just read reports of, but this was also part of it (which I don't think is that bad either and seems like it has merit):

When asked whether he thinks The Crown stretches its artistic licence in terms of its characters and plot, Fellowes replied: “You’re getting me into a tricky area here.

“I think that a lot of it was based on obviously very good research, but some of it was not. Some of it was extrapolation from a rumour or someone’s rather prejudiced account. And then it was presented as fact. I’m not sure that’s just.”

However Fellowes was very keen to express his admiration for The Crown’s writer. “I’m a big fan of Peter Morgan, I repeat that,” he said. “I think he’s the best writer on television at the moment. And it’s deservedly successful as far as I’m concerned.”

If this is what he said I can only say I fully agree with him. I found Downton Abbey badly written at best in the later seasons but I think the main difference here is: one show is complete fiction and the other is a fictionalised adaption of the lives of real people, some of whom are still alive. I think it's not really comparable and he has every right to have a problem with the way it was handled, no matter how good or bad the writing for his own show was.
