The Duke of Edinburgh was Royal before marrying Princess Elizabeth. He would have never refused to kneel.

I believe Venetia Scott was added to give a face and voice to the thousands who tragically lost their lives in the Great Fog. I loved her character and thought it was a touching way to pay respect to them.

It is actually known that the queen mother did interfere to keep Camilla and Charles apart. Perhaps not in the way portrayed in the show but she did step in to try to prevent the marriage from happening.

The fate of the Romanovs was truly devastating and I hope the royals who refused to grant them asylum are scarred for that.

The scene of the Russian family meeting their fate was violent and heart breaking 💔 to watch 📺📺📺🙅🏽‍♀️🙅🏽‍♀️🙅🏽‍♀️

[ladyj]

That ''Impatiev House'' episode, got me in my feelings

[gipkucq]

Thank you for addressing the whole kneeling thing, it never happened like that in real life!

[samuelcollantes]

Since i don't watch this series, i guess i've missed a lot, but, this was a great top. Happy wednesday afternoon, Kirsten. Take care and God bless you, greetings from Colombia to you as well.

Every frame of "The Crown" should have a banner along the bottom:" *This film is fiction to create a timeline of historical events* "

The cousins in the institution had inherited their condition from their mother's side of the family, NOT the Bowes-Lyon side of
the family. The Queen Mum's nieces had cousins on their mother's side of the family with the same inherited condition.
*That said: The two girls' mother visited them frequently until her death.* However, their siblings did not visit them after
their mother's death; nor did the members of the extended Bowes-Lyon family OR the members of the Hepburn-Stuart-
Forbes-Trefusis family. (Their mother was Hon. Fenella who married John Bowes-Lyon
(the Queen Mum's brother)

SADLY This often happens (even in this era) when people are placed in institutions.

It's soo good, that you made this list. It brings us back on the ground. The portrait of Charles in 4th season made him terrible. Despite his action towards Diana and issues, however it's still a show, semi-bio.

[buddhidev]

No. 7 was probably true based on various pieces of evidence, such as both of them wanted their relatives being the consort.

The crown ending is near wonder how it will end

[denisefreitas]

I thought it was true Queen Mary's decision about the Romanovs.

[SirAsdf]

This show feels like it was made to be both your mom's favorite show while also pissing off all Royalist Simps in the UK.

[MrToronto]

Sigh. Many seem to forget that The Crown was a work of fiction, not a documentary... Very loosely based on reality... but still FICTION!

[tas]

I find it funny that at the beginning of this segment you cant confirm any of what you are saying about what the crown got wrong or right is possible yet you put out a list that U say is NOT true from what crown portrayed, makes no sense. Why should we believe what MsMojo is saying ARE the facts about the REAL stories?? we dont. silly idea.

[olgzwpb]

I regard The Crown as a skilful propaganda exercise which uses damage limitation techniques - to ultimately consolidate the mythological status of the Queen.

[TursiopsLibra]

Maybe 'The Crown' has good costumes. scenography or actors, but in terms of history and politics it looks like total overrated rubbish.
