Queen Elizabeth isn’t interested in watching herself on an insulting television drama. In fact, royal insiders say there’s no way Queen Elizabeth would take time out of her busy schedule to watch Netflix’s controversial series, ‘The Crown.’ Sources say that unlike other royals, the Queen isn’t a fame-seeking celeb who wants to see herself on television.
Even though ‘The Crown’ has gotten rave reviews for its portrayal about the early reign of Queen Elizabeth, she is yet to sit down and watch it. The series traces the her life from her wedding day in 1947 to the present day. It is expected to span 60 episodes in over six seasons.
According to People Magazine, ‘The Crown’s’ royal consultant Robery Lacey said that the last thing the Queen would want to do is watch herself on the small screen. At least, a younger, fictional character of herself. He said, “I am sure she would not watch it. The Queen is so hugely respected precisely because she is not a fame-chasing celebrity who would want to watch herself on the telly. But who knows?”
Many royal observers know that Queen Elizabeth has never been a fan of Hollywood and all of the gossip and tabloid fodder that comes from Tinseltown. In fact, the last thing she wants to see is the royal family making headlines in tabloid magazines. She’s always made it clear that she doesn’t want members of the royal family viewed as celebrities. That’s why it’s not surprising that the Queen wouldn’t want to watch ‘The Crown.’
If there is one person who knows the difference between the facts and fiction though, it would be Queen Elizabeth. After all, she’s the only person who knows the truth about what goes on behind closed doors at Buckingham Palace.
Of course, Buckingham Palace has not made any comments about Queen Elizabeth and if ‘The Queen’ is on her must-see television schedule. Yet, royal insiders say that Queen Elizabeth’s personal assistants and handlers have seen the ten-part series. What’s more, ‘The Crown’ has also gotten positive feedback from the Queen’s inner circle.
