WHAT MEMBERS OF THE BRITISH ROYAL FAMILY HAVE SEEN ‘THE CROWN’?
The official version is that the British royal family has not seen and will not see the popular Netflix series documenting the reign of Elizabeth II. It is not hard to imagine that this is a strategy so that no one tries to ask your opinion about the way you approach certain events, such as the tumultuous marriage between Prince Charles and Diana of Wales that has now become one of the main plots. .
However, royals are also human and some of them have been curious to find out what the story tells. Mike Tindall, husband of Zara Phillips and son-in-law of Princess Anne, is one of the few who has unashamedly confessed to having fallen into temptation.
In his case, he has only reached the third season, long enough to see his mother-in-law in action, masterfully played in his youth by actress Erin Doherty.
"It's fiction, so they're always going to include a bit of drama," the former rugby player warned on the podcast 'The Good, The Bad & The Rugby' that he records with James Haskell and Alex Payne for Apple.
"I am quite intrigued to find out in which direction they plan to go, because it is clear that this is an era that fascinates many. Now it is getting closer and closer to events that people remember, right? And everyone has an opinion. This is when the matter gets complicated, "he added without specifying what moments in the life of his in-laws he was referring to.
What he has confessed is that he would not mind if 'The Crown' included him in the plot, which for the moment has overlooked his wife and brother-in-law, as long as the role went to Jason Statham.
Princess Eugenia, granddaughter of Elizabeth II, is another member of the monarchy who has revealed that at the time she saw a couple of episodes and, in her case, she loved the music. However, her cousin Prince William made it clear to Olivia Colman, who is currently in charge of stepping into her grandmother's shoes, that she was not planning to give the series a chance.
As for Elizabeth II, it is rumored that the sovereign has dared to see 'The Crown' to find out how he portrays her. That is at least what a friend of Vanessa Kirby, who gave life to a young princess Margaret - the queen's sister - at the beginning of the series, heard Eugenia comment at a party and, of course, she soon told the actress.
