Queen Elizabeth’s lifelong friend 'not happy' with The Crown, calls it ‘complete fantasy’

Queen Elizabeth’s longtime friend has recently expressed her disappointment over The Crown series.

The late Queen’s pal Lady Anne Glenconner, who was a maid of honour at the Queen’s June 1953 coronation, appeared on BBC Radio 4’s Woman’s Hour where she called the Netflix series a “complete fantasy”.

“It’s so unfair on members of the Royal Family,” said the 90-year-old, who also served as Princess Margaret's lady-in-waiting for over 30 years.

She explained, “The trouble is that people, especially in America, believe it completely. It’s so irritating. I don’t watch The Crown now because it just makes me so angry.”

Anne also spoke about one scene regarding the 1937 death of Prince Philip's sister, Princess Cecile of Greece, in a plane crash.

However, Anne shared that in season 2 of the series, it was shown that late Philip asked his sister to board the flight, which she described as “absolute untrue”.

“And I think to say something like that about people is terribly hurting. Nobody wants to have their relations trashed like that,” added Anne.
