Royal family member is a big fan of “The Crown”

Last week the Queen’s granddaughter, Princess Eugenie, confessed that she is a fan of the show The Crown.

“It has been filmed beautifully. The music is wonderful,” she said at the China Exchange event in London.

“The story is beautiful and you feel very proud to watch it," she explained.

The Crown explores the times during her grandmother’s reign from the 1940s to modern times.

"Everyone knows the relationship you have with a grandparent is truly special. You want to hold on to that as long as possible," Eugenie added of her bond with her royal grandmother.

In March, the series creator Peter Morgan confirmed that season two will focus on Prince Phillip rather than Queen Elizabeth II.

At a Royal Television Society event Peter explained, "I find him extraordinarily interesting — his childhood, again, you couldn't make it up. The soul of season two is about his complexity.”

Peter said that the new season “continues exactly where we left off, so the years that it travels are 1956 and 1964".

He then added “Doesn't everyone in Britain know he [Philip] had an affair?”

Allegedly Prince Phillip had an affair during his 1956 world tour when The Duke of Edinburgh was touring on the royal yacht Britannia.

Buckingham Palace has never officially commented on the claims but Prince Phillip has stated, “How could I? I’ve had a detective in my company, night and day, since 1947.”

While it is not certain if the Queen has tuned in to watch The Crown, a Daily Mail report has said that she enjoys watching shows like Antiques Roadshow, Dad’s Army, Keeping Up Appearances and Downton Abbey.
