I’ve also grown increasingly angry with the Fayed’s. I couldn’t believe how spineless Dodi was and how much of a racist opportunist his father was. His father did what he did to get British citizenship and after everything he lost, he STILL doesn’t have it. Honestly I wish Princess Diana never met either of them.

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

OF course but that wasn’t the point. The writers were suggesting he didn’t want to kneel to his wife/a woman. I don’t agree with that either but it was never about his lack of understanding of protocol

While yet he was royalty, he was a father who wasn't allowed to give his children his name.

Wrong! Monarch calls the shots! He gave up his royal HRH of Denmark/Greece titles of D/G and citizenship to become a British citizen. King George VI sponsored Prince Philip in the organization of KG (Knights of the Garter) a few months before his wedding to Elizabeth. Awhile later King George gave Philip a "R.H." (Royal Highness --a bottom rank of the "style" for foreign princes who married British princesses and queens).He was given the title Duke of Edinburgh the day before the wedding. "The Crown's" crowning of Prince Philip never happened. But it made for good TV Reality: *In 1958 Queen Elizabeth signed the letters* *patent to make Philip:* "The Prince (HRH) Philip of the UK." (HRH= His Royal Highness) That is the same style as the queen, Charles and Anne "The" prince gave him precedence over Charles, Anne, Princess Margaret and everybody else (except the Queen Mum). At this time Philip was also made regent, in the event, of the HMTQ's death. In addition, any non-royal members descended from Queen Elizabeth would have the surname of Mountbatten--Windsor So far, only Prince Edwards daughter and son; who were never given an HRH have the surname Mountbatten-Windsor. Now James has taken his father's old title (Earl of Wessex) and Louise is known as Lady Louise (her father is a prince and he had the Wessex title before becoming Duke of Edinburgh. Prince Edward's surname is Windsor (HRH, child of sovereign) Prince Edward's Dukedom (DoE) will revert back to the sovereign upon his death; just as Prince Philip's DoE reverted back to the sovereign after Prince Philip died. Anne, being a female, her children took her husband's surname (Phillips). Anne was given an HRH at birth, as were her siblings (children of the monarch) Anne and Mark Phillips turned down a royal style and titles for her children. Prince Andrew decided that his daughters would receive the HRH and be styled as Princesses. He can not pass on his title as Duke of York (Primogeniture laws) Because of that, Beatrice and Eugenie's maiden surname was Windsor. (Now they use their husband's surnames.) 1935 Law -- George V.: Only the children and grandchildren of the monarch are eligible to be styled as Prince/Princess. Queen Elizabeth made an exception, for William's children (great-gradchildren of the monarch) But Harry and Meghan's children (if they exist -- who knows?) had to wait until Charles was king.) I think that in the future the children of the monarch who are not the immediate heir/heir apparent will no longer receive an HRH. In Denmark the retired queen Margaret changed her second son's and his children's style to HSH (His Serene Highness) and made the second son a Count (equivalent to Earl in UK) rather than a Prince. In Denmark the #2 son's first wife and him divorced and she got a huge payout as well as a countess title. I don't think the Danes want to see that happen again. The second wife is only a Countess and only has a HSH. Given that royals no longer marry other royals or nobles or marry for life I am sure that other monarchs will follow suit. A person can be elevated to HRH (style) and to Duke/Duchess (title just below Prince) But it is better that the "spare(s)" not be ranked as high as the Crown Prince/Princess

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.

I hadn’t heard of the Great Fog before so this was interesting to learn.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

Princess Alice interview.

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 Hepburn-Stuart-Forbes-Trefusis who married John Bowes-Lyon (the Queen Mum's brother) SADLY This often happens (even in this era) when people are placed in institutions.

The crown ending is near wonder how it will end

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

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

@jasonkoch3182

7 ай бұрын

Not really. The decision was basically made by David Lloyd George and the advice he gave to George V. Mary may have had some influence on George V, but it was mostly the cabinet and a confirming decision from the king.

@@jasonkoch3182 The Tsar of Russia and his German-born wife were very unpopular among the working classes of the UK (many of whom supported the Bolsheviks) Had the Tsar sent his children to Britain *just before or just as* *the war began* ; they would have probably: 1.) Gotten though the lines (Finland, Sweden, Norway) . *OR* (possibly gone through Siberia to Canda AND 2.) Been taken in by the BRF (in one way or another). btw: The Queen (Mary, wife of George V.) had instructed that Balmoral castle be readied for them when the Bolshevik Revolution began. (They were not in danger under the Kerensky government) *But Nicholas and Alexandra* *Romanov waited until the* *war was well underway* (at least 2 years) before realizing that there would be an abdication and a revolution. Being accepted by UK was probably a moot point by then. The family couldn't be reached. They had fled from St. Petersburgh to the country and by then the children had measles. They were a long way from any of the so-called White Russian (those against the Bolsheviks) groups. When the Bolsheviks caught up with Romanov family, they were sent to Yekaterinburg in the Ural Mountains where they were murdered by Lenin's hand- picked thugs. ALSO: After WW1 George V. didn't want Prince Philip's parents (Danish/ Greek royals) hanging about in UK. They went to France. As did most Russian royals after WW1. When WW2 began those Russian royals in France went to Canada. (There, unlike the USA, they could keep their titles and most got jobs, bought farms, etc..)

For decades, HMG got the blame, but in the last few years, documents revealed that the King made the final decision. I didn't see that episode, but George V turned them down months before the Bolshies took over, and Lenin wanted them dead, Kerensky didn't. The surprising thing is they waited over half a year.

@@ralphl7643 The children were sick with measles shortly after the RRF retreated from St. Petersburg into a palace in the countryside. Too bad the Tsar and his wife were not as forward-thinking as Prince Philip's mother who sent his four older sisters to Britain to stay with their grandparents just as the war broke out (1914--1918). Prince Philip was born in 1921, after the war, but just a year or less before a coup in Greece against his grandfather. Prince Philip's grandmother, Victoria Mountbatten, Marchioness of Milford Haven was the sister of both Grand Duchess Elizabeth Feodorovna of Russia AND Alexandra ("Alix") Feodorovna, Empress of Russia (the last tsarina of Russia) These women were the daughters of Princess Alice of the UK (a daughter of Queen Victoria) and (m. 1862) *Louis IV* *Grand Duke of Hesse* They grew up in Darmstadt Germany. Alice and Louis had 7 children: *Victoria Mountbatten, Marchioness of* . *Milford Haven* (m. 1884) *Prince Louis* . *Alexander of Battenberg* They were the maternal grandparents of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh who was married to Elizabeth II of the UK. *Grand Duchess Elizabeth Feodorovna of* *Russia* (m.1884) Grand Duke Sergei Alexandrovich of Russia (a son of Alexander II of Russia) *Irene, Princess Henry of Prussia* (m.1888) He was a younger brother of Wilhem II of Prussia. Henry and Irene were first cousins.

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

I think that throughout every episode a banner should be on the bottom stating that the Crown is fiction, loosely based on real events.

Only 10 - surely you are kidding!

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.

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

not real

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