On the first half of the series, Churchill's charms rub off on his young and eager assistant Venetia Scott (Kate Phillips), who seemingly develops a crush on the legendary statesman after reading his autobiography. While the increased attention given to Scott on season 1's "Act of God" episode would leave you to believe that she and Churchill (John...
While the Great Smog plays a central role on The Crown, the panic it shows was apparently not all together accurate. While the Great Smog was denser and longer-lasting than previous "fogs," the long-term effects of the Great Smog weren't realized until several weeks — and even years — later as Londoners were already used to bad air quality. Still, ...
While Philip (Matt Smith) is off flying planes and checking out waitresses at gentlemen's clubs, Elizabeth gets a bit of her fun on The Crownwhen she takes up horse breeding alongside her childhood friend Porchie, aka Lord Porchester and later Earl of Carnarvon (Joseph Kloska).

Philip's closeness with his uncle, Lord Mountbatten (Greg Wise), is the cause of some courtier rumblings on The Crown, mostly because they don't want to see the Mountbatten family take over the Windsors. In real life, Mountbatten did hold considerable influence over Philip and acted as a father figure after the future Duke of Edinburgh was sent to ...

As shown on the series, Margaret was required to have her marriage approved by the Queen and Parliament, and Churchill advised that th...
As The Crown depicts, courtiers were wary of Elizabeth's children taking on Philip's chosen last name of Mountbatten, as they feared that this gave too much weight to the Mountbatten family over the Windsors. In 1952, Elizabeth announced that her children would use the last name of "Windsor" when needed, although, in 1958, she quietly changed the n...
While Philip did push back against tradition on family issues like his children's last names and their education, he would have understood and respected the significance of kneeling in front of Elizabeth at her coronation — and also likely balked at the breech of protocol as a royal himself. "I doubt Prince Philip ever spoke those words to his wife...
