    • Trivia
      The iconic black door of 10 Downing Street had to be made larger in scale so that John Lithgow, who is 6' 4'' (1,93m) in height, would not look significantly larger than the real-life Sir Winston Churchill, who, at this stage was around 5' 6'' (1,67m) tall.
    • Goofs
      In reality the Queen and Princess Margaret were almost the same height. Whilst Claire Foy is of similar height to the Queen, Vanessa Kirby (Princess Margaret) is almost 4 inches taller. In a scene of them walking together, Kirby has flat shoes to offset the height difference.

    Accurate but not accurate
    Coming from someone who has met several members of the royal family, this is a bit of a strange one. I absolutely love it and can't get enough of it.

    In terms of accuracy nobody knows only the royal family and I'm sure they will be laughing at how false it is and holding there hands in there head at how over dramatic they are portrayed.

    The cinematography is absolutely stunning and the locations as well as the accuracy of the sets is sublime. Hats off to Netflix they've done well with it all, from the shots in the palaces and castles to small things like particular aircraft and liveries of the eras. It's the small things that make the difference.

    The soundtrack is probably one of the best bits about it all. Puts you in the mood and sets the tone through the different scenes. Martin Phipps well done.

    Yes it's a drama and it needed to be watchable in order to make it worth while. The cast was well selected and you develop hatred and love for the same person over the several seasons. Pip Torrens is a great example of this.

    I've enjoyed it all the way through from 1-4 so far and looking forward to 5.

    Don't dismiss the fact that the story is over exaggerated it has to be otherwise it's a documentary and people would have switched off after the 1st season.

    Keep up the good work and don't let it go stale.
