The Crown is one of Netflix's most successful series, but is it
true to the facts? The Crown is one of North America's favorite
series. Hugo Vickers, however, has something to say about the
popular series' accuracy. All three seasons of it. Called the most
knowledgeable royal biographer on the planet, particularly on the
period the series covers, Vickers has commented on the British
Royal Family on television and radio since 1973, authored numerous
books about the Royals, and acted as historical adviser on a number
of films. In his previous books on seasons one and two of The
Crown, Vickers separated fact from fiction to tell readers what
really happened and what certainly did not happen. Now adding the
most recent season, The Crown Dissected: Seasons 1, 2 and 3
features Vickers' same episode-by-episode approach analyzing the
plot, characterization and historical detail in each storyline. He
describes how the series continues to distort the facts, and refers
back to previous seasons whenever needed. Vickers writes that he
does not approve of The Crown because it depicts real life people
in situations which are partly true and partly false, and
unfortunately most viewers take it all as gospel truth. He accepts
that fiction can be a device to illuminate true events, but
artistic license can create false, dangerous and lasting
impressions as well what he calls a perversion of what is true.
Undoubtedly there will continue to be debate on the accuracy of The
Crown's storylines, but that is what makes historical dramas so
compelling. The Crown Dissected: Seasons 1, 2 and 3 is a must-read
for any fan of the show, as well as for all TV critics.
