The Queen Held ‘Save the Marriage’ Meetings with Charles and Diana – True, but Displaced in Time
The Crown invited its viewers to vicariously partake in the private meetings between Queen Elizabeth and Prince Charles as she attempted to fix their broken marriage. This was an opportunity that 80’s tv never gave audiences before, and it allowed them insight into the royals’ lives which were otherwise hidden from view. Not even Diana knew about these meetings until her tell-all book was published in 1992.
While the fourth season of The Crown is set after the book was published, Charles, Diana, the Queen, and Prince Philip held their “save the marriage” summit much later.
