Lacey serves as the Crown’s historical consultant, collaborating with Morgan via meetings and phone calls as the scripts came together. A journalist and historian, Lacey has been writing about the royal family since the 1970s and worked with the Crown’s creator Peter Morgan on the film the Queen.
“Those falsehoods will be accepted by many millions of people around the world as truths.”ĭo not despair! You can still enjoy the Crown responsibly, as I strive to do, with the help of Robert Lacey. “Beneath its enticing veneer, much of it is, in modern parlance, fake news,” wrote Alastair Bruce, a journalist and television commentator, in his scathing critique of the series published in the Spectator. It is not real, even though it feels so darn real, both the major monarch milestones and especially the more intimate dialogue. The creators have done such an admirable job recreating the sets and the costumes that it’s easy to lose yourself in the Crown - and forget that it takes extraordinary creative liberties. I absolutely devoured the first two seasons.īut I’ll be honest, the more I report on the royal world, the more dangerous I find the series. It is irresistible for even the most casual royal fan, a chance to watch the reign of Queen Elizabeth II unfold in a delicious Netflix dramatization. Are you watching the Crown? The answer, I’m guessing, is some form of OBVIOUSLY.
