Reviews
“Of course, the quality of the dialogue and staging does not hide the fact that you are watching a first-class, lustfully speculative soap opera here. Especially the side thread about the affair of Princess Margaret with the married Captain Peter Townsend offers some of the melodrama that this genre demands. And when the abdicated King Edward and Churchill join forces over dinner to prevent Elizabeth from taking her husband's name, it has a lot to do with another Netflix series, namely the House of Cards political intrigue . "
“The script by Peter Morgan is definitely a plus. It's no secret that the Windsors are skeptical of the project. Morgan has resisted all of the Court's subtle attempts to influence it. His dialogues sound like an upper-class tone without appearing stiff, the emotional knots of this old-fashioned family between tradition, responsibility and what commoners call love are carefully orchestrated, which convince cliffhangers (mostly it's about tragic love from Princess Margaret to Lieutenant Peter Townsend). [...] The fact that the scenes never seem staged is thanks to the top-class acting crew. "
Historical accuracy
The series tells some historical inaccuracies and even fictions.
The circumstances of the death of Prince Philips' sister are not shown correctly. The implied affair with Galina Ulanova is also just fiction. The dialogue between Prince Philip and Princess Diana in the episode war is also made up. The Minister for Culture, Digital, Media and Sport Oliver Dowden asked Netflix to explain more clearly that the series was fictional. Prince Harry , however, judged as follows: "I would rather watch 'The Crown' than read what is being written about my family, my wife or me." ( Prince Harry : Interview with James Corden )
