Top 8 Most Controversial Moments in The Crown And The Real Story Behind Them

The Crown brings us into the lives of the Royal Family, a family that has long kept its personal affairs under tight wraps. But with all the dramatics, it’s hard not to wonder, how much of it is true. Let’s dive into the moments and see the reality, shall we?

Princess Diana’s Panorama Interview

Diana’s 1995 BBC interview was just as intense as The Crown makes it out to be, complete with the infamous "three of us in this marriage" remark. What the show glosses over is that journalist Martin Bashir used fake bank statements to manipulate Diana into the interview. The BBC apologized, not because they’re saints, but because, well, they got caught.

Prince Philip’s Alleged Affair

The show loves implying Prince Philip had an eye for someone other than the Queen, especially Penny Knatchbull. In reality, there is no proof. But why let facts get in the way of a masala-news? This is human nature, isn't it?

Queen Elizabeth’s Parenting

The Crown paints the Queen as a distant mom, particularly to Prince Charles. Sure, she wasn’t exactly making PB&Js for snack time, but reports suggest she showed her own version of affection. Motherhood is not easy to define, is it?
