I was only just saying I think The Crown series has enough fodder for another 10 years 😁

We all might have our ‘favourite’ Royal but there’s always two sides to every story, including Charles & Diana. None of us have no way of knowing what’s really happened in the past, now or in the future except what we read online or via the press.
Personally I’d rather have a Monarch than a President but, just my opinion, there are too many hanger-ons and in this day and age when our country is struggling with certain key areas then perhaps it’s time to trim the Royal fat so to speak, ie cut back their funding. Edited at 11:23 AM. |

I absolutely love The Crown but there are things shown that will not please the Queen, I often wonder how factual it is but then surely they can't show things that aren't true for legal reasons .
There was one bit in particular where the Queen had to be pressured to go to Aberfan after the disaster, she questioned herself as to why she couldn't force a tear, she was more or less admitting that she felt she was completely void of emotion, then at the end of that episode she was sat alone reflecting and the camera panned solely on her face for us all to see tears starting to emerge, I felt that was quite a poignant moment and one that almost had me in tears, just one scene that spoke volumes, like I said how true to actual fact it is is anybody's guess but it certainly doesn't always paint a rosey picture of her . It does show that she has by no means had an easy life, far from it .

Of course they can and do. There are many factual errors in the show. People alive who weren't at the time shown when Churchill died etc.
They can't sue as that could mean an appearance in court. As long as the Crown doesn't go beyond the pale they will get away with what they put on. A few examples ranker/list/historic.../setareh-janda Edited at 12:16 PM. |

Exactly.
Ho many people would come here to see a "trump" equivalent if we didn't have a queen etc. If you go to Buckingham Palace at the same time as the changing of the guard its busier than main street on Xmas day! And most of these tourist travel throughout the country, not just staying in London so other parts of the country benefit as well. Who does to the USA to "see the president"? |

I've enjoyed watching The Crown but my husband is a bit of a history buff and often tells me certain things are way off the mark. Sometimes it's dates, other times stuff that was just gossip but being shown as fact. We have friends in America who are convinced it's totally factual. They've already told me we'll find out the truth behind the Harry and Meghan saga when it's serialised in The Crown!
