Controversy
A producer at Disney accused HBO Max and creator Gary Janetti and said, "It’s one thing for film-makers to play fast and loose with the truth in shows like The Crown but poking fun at a seven-year-old child seems cruel and unfair. Some things should be off-limits. It’s morally wrong to use a child to get cheap laughs."[7] In addition, Kayliegh Donaldson of Pajiba criticized Janetti saying that his work "lacks intent and appropriate targets. It’s just post after post of a 54-year-old man pretending to be a child so that he can spew the mundane level of misogyny that both the general public and the royal media already deal in."[8]
