Top 5 Facts The Crown Got Wrong

it was perfect from me

Philip only opens his mouth to change feet, I think he is wonderful.

It's a drama not a documentary it's called dramatic licence.

Philip is one of the worst decisions Elizabeth ever made. However, without him, we would not have had Diana or William. So, I guess God knows what He is doing. Still….

it's a drama fer cryin' out loud, not documentary

Most of these, I understand the writers had to hit certain events, while giving the characters a chance to shine, and also trying to pace a coherent story. Hence, "errors". Overall, it's spot on. It's entertainment not a documentary and shouldn't be treated as such.

Soooo… nothing major pertaining to the show

If your going to do it – do it properly. I find the Crown quite appalling

The Crown is basically the equivalent of Disney's Pocahontas, the story is mediocre and historically inaccurate.

I site artistic license…

I really enjoy Watchmojo and it’s subsidies including this one, but I feel any and all matters relating to our British culture must be done on Watchmojo UK from now on, otherwise please make a MsMojo UK.
Thank you.

The Queen Mother is actually a party girl that had accumulated so much debt, and her daughter Elizabeth had to pick up the bills.

one thing is they seem to show that they are close to their children but they are not.  in fact the children shouldn't be at the party that celebrated his promotion cause when they lived on that island they left the children back in England.  also the children's ages are depicted wrong when Elizabeth became queen Anne was still an infant.

There is another tiny mistake with the uniform of HRH The Duke of Edinburgh at his wedding. We see his naval aviator wings, however he had earned them latter.

Another inaccuracy is the depiction of Prince Phillip's mother. While it is true that she did become a nun this was a few years after her sons wedding to Princess Elizabeth. In photos from the actual wedding you see Princess Alice (Phillip's Mother) very regally dressed as she was the only representative of Phillip's immediate family present at the wedding. It wasn't until the coronation in '52 that Princess Alice was seen publicly in Britain in her habit. Also the conversation with Queen Mary in which Queen Elizabeth (the Queen Mother) refers to Princess Alice as "the hun" is highly unlikely. First, the Queen Mother would not have said this to Queen Mary as Mary herself was German and, thought not often depicted, spoke with a distinct German Accent. Furthermore Princess Alice had a great deal of English blood. She was a Great Granddaughter of Queen Victoria and was born at Windsor Castle. Her brother was Lord Louie Mountbatten who was in real life and as shown in the show to be as English as English could get.

Also at the moment they are taking the wedding pictures they point out the fact that Philip’s mom was dressed as a German nun, and that is not correct!

I'm so pissed that Claire foy and cast won't be returning for season 3

Despite these wrong facts the show was still a hit. I can't wait for season 3 when Diana finally appears. The Crown would never be complete without the People's Princess.

I would not say they are wrong facts… It's a TV show, so they have to make some things to make it attractive. The show it self is quite acurate

Yeah, I had a real problem with the "whole refusing to kneel" thing as well! It just didn't happen! Phillip did it without a problem!

i love Victoria more sorry notsorry

The whole storyline about Margaret and Peter was wrong too! The Queen and Anthony Eden actually found a way to enable the marriage

It may have had some wrong facts, but it’s still a magnificent show and I can’t wait for Season 2.

There are lot more facts that’s are wrong in the Crown.
