Impossible to say he’s wrong given what we’ve seen in recent years.
I have a lot of respect for David Starkey, and his writings. He's an excellent historian. He's not afraid to tell it like it is, and is willing to take the heat for it. I can just imagine what he's thinks of the diversity actors they have portraying actual historical figures these days in movies and TV series. It's an abomination, and I won't watch any of it.
