- Top 10 Facts The Crown (Season 2) Got Right/Wrong // Subscribe: czcams.com/users/MsMojo?sub_c...
How great was season 2 of The Crown? While last season the show had more facts they got wrong, in this video we take a look at the historical accuracy (and some inaccuracies) in the events of the second season of “The Crown”. Warning: plenty of spoilers! The show got The Profumo Affair somewhat right. They got Margaret and Antony Armstrong-Jones half right. The Parker Divorce? Right-ish. The Billy Graham Timeline? Wrong!

I honestly didn't expect to love this show, and then I ended up devouring both seasons in just two days. It's so great.
Same here. I thought it would be boring but then I could not stop watching. Second season was much better though
It's the most expensive tv show in the history of mankind. The attention to detail is greater than most movies.
ARVIN while it’s definitely expensive (if I remember correctly it’s around $13 million an episode), it’s definitely not the “most expensive tv show in the history of mankind”.
Amanda Allinson That's what everyone's reporting, unless you have reliable sources that no one knows about.
ARVIN a two minute Google search can show you the fact that The Pacific cost $20 million an episode. Also, ER was around $13 million an episode as well (which is how much The Crown is).
The impotant thing is, we actually learnt history, or at least googled the accuracy of each episode of The Crown 😂
myheartssay you’re right. It’s really encouraged me to research.
same! hahaha
Same here but i love the way it has been directed and acting
Omg that’s exactly what I did 😂
I know I did.
When Philip went to his sister's funeral, it was so creepy, you could feel the evil there.
What are you talking about?!
C A Campbell He/she is referring to episode 9.
@@andythemisfit what season?
@@samanthavelasquez9525 season two
Prince Phillip and the actor in this series look hauntingly similar...
XpertPilotFSX you mean Matt Smith
I think a lot of the actors bare a strong resemblance to the characters they play on this show. See Princess Margaret.
@@tblub.9270 yes..
Take edward.. jackie for example

It's called type casting and sometimes works out perfecrly
Gordonstoun claims that they helped Charles become the man he is today...the man who sent his own sons to Eton.
Apparently, he enjoyed his time at an Australian boarding school much more.
It did help create the man he is today, the man who treated Diana the way he did. Man did Gordonstoun sure help 😉
I'm sensing a lot of blame (or credit) being placed on Gordonstoun's role in shaping how Charles became. That is only one piece of the puzzle. Looking at Dr. Hahn and that school's pedagogy, a lot is placed on self-discovery, outdoor activities, and personal responsibility for your actions. This seemed to have worked wonders for Prince Philip and positively developing the man he grew up to be. But you have to keep in mind that Prince Philip was never set to become a king in his lifetime. Prince Charles had a completely different temperament than most heirs apparent. The rigor of Gordonstoun may have instilled in him some great qualities, but Charles has also had to deal with the pressures of living up to the ideal of being a king-in-waiting. He couldn't express views (like sympathy for Wales) without getting admonished by the family. He couldn't marry his first choice at the time. I AM NOT excusing his treatment of Princess Diana. I'm just saying blaming all of Charles' faults on Gordonstoun is a stretch. Granted, you have to wonder how much differently he would have turned out going to Eton College, his first choice school.
Gordonstoun claims that Charles has stated in his speeches that his time there made him become the man he is today. There's a big difference
so basically everything is correct, half-right, right-ish, or complicated except for the christian father. that proves the show's accuracy
Sára Andrási it’s a story.... just assume nothing is right.
The royal family confirmed that Prince Phillip telling his son to toughen up when he was bullied was false. He was more supportive.
Charles said, "His time at the school was formative and made him the man that he is today", well that's not glowing remark for the school.
I love how they portray the Queen as a very bright and intelligent person. It makes me love her even more!
thenitenurse22 because she is :)
They said she wasn't that intelligent. Margaret was the smarter more talented one.
You
Margaret is more intelligent in the show as well....
The Queen is not intelligent. But she is the most suited for the crown
This show shouldn't be called "The Crown" it should be called "Philip vs The Crown" on they way they portrayed him lmao.
The way they portrayed him is inaccurate.
Haha right. Poor guy
This show is so good, so good. The attention to detail, the talented actors and actresses, and the history lessons. All at the same time giving us another perspective on historic events.
We're getting closer to seeing Diana. Season 3 will show Camilla Parker Bowles when she and Charles were dating and at the end of season 3 will be Diana the People's Princess' grand entrance.
Ira Williams omg I can't wait!
The queen will no longer be the same actress... it will feel like another show...
ARVIN well Queen Elizabeth never stayed young
I just can’t wait for the show to have Margaret Thatcher aka the Iron Lady and her relationship with the crown
The idea was for the present cast to only be on screen for two seasons and then switch. If Olivia Coleman portrays Elizabeth for seasons 3-4, then another actress would portray her older self most likely for seasons 5-6.
The fact that Charles sent his sons to Eton and to that horrible school is evidence enough....
@Rosamund Powell given the anecdotes from those who attended, it’s clear to see that some were worse than others.
Eton College is one of the most prestigious colleges in the entire UK, hosting multiple UK PMs over the centuries while being very popular among the aristocracy.
Diana might have had some say about that - at least in William’s case.
What the Crown doesn’t mention is Andrew and Edward also went to Gourdenston (however it’s spelled). At the time Princess Anne was in school they didn’t accept females but she sent both of her children there. Charles might have been bullied wherever he went. Not only was he a Prince and the heir to the throne, he was something of a dreamer and thanks to his grandmother (definitely not his parents) spoiled. Facts are facts- probably every child that ever went to any school has at least one person that bullied them and made their life hell.
My favorite line, from the character Tommy Lascelles: "your sister's fiancé is conducting three affairs... and those are just the natural ones." Imagine your next job interview and you find yourself face to face with Lascelles; he might say, " This resume says you left Best Buy in 2003 on mutual good terms, but that wasn't the case. There was the slushee incident in the break room that forced your resignation. This post may sound inviting, but you're not going to take it."
Hahahahahaha!!! The Tommy Lascelles character cracks me up! He's like some mysterious know-it-all with a penchant for drama, like a "cleaner" in a gangster movie. It's probably true, too. :-)
I love Tommy Lascelles
I'm crying... I was waiting for someone to speak on the "Godfather" Tommy Lascelles.. He was definitely my comic relief.
LOL
I'm not 100% certain about the new casting. I realize they have to fast forward to make things work. Makeup can only do so much. However, no matter how wonderful the talents of the new cast, no actor will ever be able to hold a candle to Matt Smith's ass.
and Winston Churchill!! that actor was strikingly great!
It's absurd that they aged them 20 years even though the show only jumped forward a few years.
@@miguelcarlobarreda430 the Winston Churchill actor is none other than John Lithgow, of Twilight Zone the Movie, Big Foot and the Henderson's, Santa Clause the Movie and Third Rock from the Sun fame.
If you grew up in the '80s and '90s you'll surely know him.
@@jamesmason8436 Because season 3 covers 13 years. The Queen and Prince Phillip were in the 40s and early 50s during season 3. So by the middle of the season the previous actors would be too young to play their counterpart roles. And it would be weird to change them midseason. Olivia Colman and Tobias Menzies were 45 at the time. So they're perfect for the roles, age-wise.
@@jamesmason8436 don’t forget footloose!
I love that the video warns for spoilers and then starts of with a famous historical event, guys it’s all already happened, there’s no such thing as spoilers!
Props to olivia coleman for doing a great job after a high bar set by Foy
I’ve heard of the Suez Crisis but not the Swez Crisis.
purpleshamrock17 it’s right up there with the Swiss Crisis
Please note that the words ‘England’ and ‘Britain’ are not interchangeable.
why?
@@sammiepittman3130 England is England. Britain includes Scotland and Ireland. The UK are all the other colonized countries and territories which still have legal attachments to Britain.
@@sammiepittman3130 England is a constituent state within the United Kingdom. The other three are Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. And then there's all of the UK' Overseas Territories.
It would be roughly equivalent to calling America "Texas".
@@cr293737 Scotland wasn't colonised lol. It was a Scottish King who united the crowns and Scotland whom sought Union with England, not the other way round.
Wales and Ireland were colonised by the Norman's, just like England before them.
@@cr293737 Britain and England are interchangeable since England is part of Britain and makes up 90% of the population of the island. Wales and Scotland are also interchangeable with Britain since both belong to the island of Britain. It's geography rather than poltical. Northern Ireland isn't since it isn't part of Britain.
The poltical entity is known as the United Kingdom of Britain and Northern Ireland (and once the whole of Ireland).
I actually appreciated Claire Foy's performance very much
I'm already jonesing for season 3, 10 eps each is not enough!
Lyrah Yeah there should be 13 episodes
Our beloved Queen. What a great monarch she has been
She still is
@@lexi-op5vk It was her funeral today. Not a good day at all.
Claire Foy is awesome
Billy Graham was a great friend of QE2. He and his wife Ruth actually stayed at one of her residences and spoke at her local church whenever when they were in England. Which was several times not just in the late 50s and early 60s.
Obviously, the show may have taken creative license. But I thought the "Complicated" ones were also portrayed as complicated in the series.
Take Phillip's infidelity. I interpreted it as extremely ambiguous. While I'll admit the picture is weird, I noticed it never actually showed any real inappropriate behaviour on Phillip's part, and no character outright confirms or denies it.
The same applies to the Duke of Windsor's Nazi sympathies. Also, "Vergangenheit" may mean "past" in German, but not really "history". "Geschichte" is a more accurate translation for "history".
When I was in school in the 1960s, it was widely accepted that Prince Philip was unfaithful in the 1950s. However, the fact that no substantial evidence has come forth in over sixty years may lead to his innocence.
Another point they got wrong (but i still looove The Crown)...
Kennedy died 3 1/2 month before the birth of Prince Edward ... but you dont see any signs of pregancy she sets the court on morning.
On the other hand the Profumo affair was a few weeks earlier ... and you see a pregnant Queen in that part.
i just finished this show in two days.. its actually amazing. the cast is brilliant, the story (lol i know most of it is fact) is incredible, its just pulled off so well and they make it so interesting, i fell in love. im so sad there will be a different cast next season, claire and matt are fabulous, i dont know how im gonna cope with new people. WHY CANT THEY JUST PUT MAKEUP ON THEM UGHH
This was posted an hour after i finished watching The Crown. What a coincidence
Love your bizarre scale: _Mostly Right - Not exactly Right - Half-Right - It's complicated..._ 😂👌 Eitherway, this was interesting, thanks for uploading!
I usually care a great deal about how historically accurate a show based on historic events is. The Crown does a great job with this in the format, but even if it weren't that accurate I wouldn't care. Why? Because Prince Philip being petty is the best thing about this show.
I was googling like crazy during each episode. Lol
It is however true that charles did not send his own sons there. Which may suggest he wasn't entirely happy with his memories of the school
what an understatement lol
Hi there - I notice you keep referring to us as 'England' but we are Britain or the UK. You're missing out Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland 😉 It's like me referring to the US as California/ New York and ignoring the rest!
very true. i’m sick of Americans referring to us as england
@@neobe195 and you call them americans when America is a continent. :/
karina flores what are you meant to call people from the US then. United Stateians.
Neo Remember if it wasn’t for us Americans you all would be speaking German.
Sandra Hernandez fair point yeah.
Eden wasn’t ever England’s Prime Minister he was the UK Prime Minister- please stop using England when you mean UK
Nigel.. British Prime Minister..Please !
@@hotoneinspai No UK .The United Kingdom consists of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
The UK consist of England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland!
I like how you tried to correct her, but you yourself were also wrong. XD
The show is fantastic, we catch ourselves (my wife and I) fact checking items throughout the show, and 90 percent of the time confirming things. The only negative i had, was the actors chosen to play the Kennedy's. They didn't even come close to looking like them at all.
My Son was part of the crew for S2 and the details on set were, I agree, pretty amazing, but I would say that wouldn't I? Not 'cus his name's in the credits! but what a fabulous piece of work by all the crew & actors, I was captivated & cannot wait for S3 -
To say someone's experience at a school was "formative....made him the man he is today...not exactly a compliment.
It’s a really good show! Highly recommend it
Waaaaaaaaaaa! I want to keep Claire Foy! Why don’t they just age the actors up for season 3?
Going to miss this cast 😞
The actor and actress who played as JFK and Jacqueline Kennedy have weird American accent though.
yeah the actual kennedy's had weird accents like that. you can also see it in Jackie that came out last year with Natalie Portman
Hold on..just hold on..after I check out the cast it blew my mind! I didn't realize if it's Dexter and actress from my favorite show Quarry! LOL
Thanks for the info btw.
I think the Kennedy's were from Boston
Well they did Abdel Naser wrong too... the accent the actor talks is so not Egyptian
I immediately recognized that it was the actor who played Dexter. He has a distinct face, the actress who played Jackie is prettier than the former FLOTUS herself!
Put this on watchmojo male and women love this show
djbstio gunse lmao ok.
I know right I’m a boy and I love it
djbstio gunse yea I was like " I love this show, but it's on ms mojo, is this a girl show?"
No one in the Royal Navy is ever a "Lootenant"
Wow I'm early for once...
NOT NEEDING NOTIFICATIONS SQUAD
Did the narrator chick just say, "the SWEZ crisis"? I know she's young but she's seriously never heard of the Suez Canal? I love how she mispronounces it with such confidence. This channel has a ton of subs, seriously, you can't be bothered to do a little research and make sure you're pronouncing things properly? The narrator is young but she's not a child. She should be familiar with the Suez Canal.
I was amazed that Harold Macmillans wife had such a long standing Afair . I thought Anthony Eden was played well by the actor
To get an accurate year for the Graham episode, one only has to look at when the Marburg Files were brought to the forefront. 1957, I believe.
I looooove the crown but as an Egyptian the most annoying thing is the actor who played Naser!!! God his accent is not Egyptian at all!! They should have hired Egyptian actor.. He talks so weirdly so not like abdel naser
You should hear people speak Dutch in some of the movies / series out there... It seems like some movies/series don't even do their research and just put some German accent on a to Dutch Google translated dialog.
That's kinda sad.
I think that's the issue with all the movies where the actors play foreign. They almost never get the accent right. This takes a lot of time and I guess producers/directors just don't bother with this.
Or When the movies show “brazilian” people speaking spanish... Oh I don’t know if I should laugh or cry... 😳
Same!! I have an Egyptian grandmother i speak Egyptian . The actor was so cringy. They're are ton of Egyptian actors that could have played that part.
Sorry Gordonston but we both know "formative" means "hated it".😂😂😂😂
This show kicks asses! I love it
finished the season today just so i could watch this
Thank you!
I adore this series. I never expected it to be historically accurate.
Anyone who accepts a movie or TV series as a reliable, accurate portrayal of history is naïve, intellectually lazy, or at worst, feeble-minded. "The Crown" is an exceptionally enjoyable dramatic series based on history, but it is NOT a documentary.
I loved watching this series.
I never knew the queen was so vulnerable in her formative years!
I think the most infuriating "creative" half-truth was implying that Prince Philip was in any way responsible for his sister's death. She was going to fly to her brother-in-law's wedding regardless of anything. Prince Philip was at school and wasn't going to be there any way. It must have been a shock to him to find out about his sister's death, along with her entire family and comes as bit cruel not only to blame him for it, but also to make up a scene where he confronted by his father about it.
Sara Araújo Marques I took the show's tskeway being that his father blamed him (his father already being established as "eh" at best) but that no one not grieving would take it that way. A child dealing with such a loss might surely blame themselves and those impressions in childhood (especially the sort of childhood Prince Phillip had) can weigh on an adult.
At least, that's how I took it.
Sara Araújo Marques That wasn't my understanding...just that Phillip and his father blamed him but certainly he was not at fault in any way.
The show was not implying in any way that Phillip was actually to blame for his sister’s death. The show simply showed that Phillip may have put some blame onto himself due to grief.
Ariana, did you watch Season 2 yet? There is a scene at Philip's sister's funeral where his father explicitly blames him for causing his sister's death.
carnation_cat Surely you’re capable of understanding that it was out of grief? The show never put any actual blame onto Phillip.
Historically accurate or not; this is IMO the best series since Mad Men.
So the Prime Minister's wife really had a side dude??? And he not only knew about it, but supported it? WOW!!!! Definitely going to research that.. If you don't pay attention to the episode you almost miss what she said... Fascinating.
When is the video for season 3 coming out?
Interesting just finished watching season 2
Second season was good. The Kennedy episode was the worst - for all sorts of reasons. Good series overall.
I think it's because the actor playing JFK didn't capture him very well and the one playing Jackie was pretty bad. In real life both had charisma but it never came through in The Crown. Very good series otherwise.
I watched all four seasons so far and agree with Phillip at the end of season 4 when he says to Lady Diana that we are all outsiders looking in except for the one. 👍
“SWEZZZ CRISIS” 😂
"Swez" ? LOL ... it's "Soo-ez"
not to take anything away from Claire Foy, who did a marvelous job....but by the 2nd episode of the 3rd season, I have already forgotten her...that's how good Olivia Colman is.....
I certainly hope that their portrayal of Philip is not entirely accurate because I can't stand his character, especially in the last episode of Season 2.
Suez is pronounced soo-ez not swez
And poor Charles at school, no,si hay cada crios en los colegios más malos
"Swez?" Try "soo-ez"
No wonder they sing “God save the Queen”. Queen Elizabeth has had a very challenging reign, the show portrays her as being maneuvered most of the time. I hope she had not felt that way. But if she was manipulated so often, no wonder she expected Charles and Diana to do what they did later on... protocol, always protocol. I still believe Diana did what she had to and helped the monarchy come into modern times. One thing I will say, prince Phillip is a horse’s patoot! I didn’t like his character in “theQueen” either. Spoilt snot nose. Queen Elizabeth is truly a survivor and I say God bless her.
Well, I'm not British or even in the Commonwealth, but I can tell you from an outsider's viewpoint that the late Diana, Princess of Wales did about as much damage to the monarchy as the much maligned Wallis, Duchess of Windsor did in her day. It is yet to be seen whether Prince Charles will get to be king. There are so many devotees of the late PoW that it is an iffy matter. Some people seem to be incapable of forgiving him because of her statement (and this is a paraphrase) "there were three in the marriage and it was overcrowded". Time will tell if the late Diana, Princess of Wales, brought the monarchy "into modern times" or if she actually hastened its demise.
I love the crown sooo much
Formative does not mean non-traumatic or miserable.
I'm surprised Altrincham was slapped by ONE person
Brilliant show. Like if you love it!
A De Facto History Series.👍🏿
This should have been on WatchMojoUK; at least then it'd have a good narrator.
Where can i download the crown season 1 and 2?
I have to laugh when I hear a 'no spoilers' warning on a historical drama. I mean.... it would totally ruin the season for me if I found out whether or not the UK and France was able to retain sovereignty over the Suez Canal. Now don't spoil this for me, anyone!!!!! Plus I'm just DYING to find out if Princess Margaret's marriage to Tony is a success! I have a good feeling about it!!!!
PS: Did anyone else notice how Christine Keeler died like the beginning of December.... like a few days before I saw the final episode. I'm kinda hoping she was able to see herself portrayed on screen one last time before she died :-)
What was the SWEZ crisis?
Top drawer acting. Worth ur time. Very well done. If u don't like it, why watch??
I rather benge watch this show anyday. #NetflixAndChill
I like the fact that MsMojo does REAL research. Top Marks!
Not so much...
President Kennedy and Jackie Kennedy would have known how to behave when meeting the Queen. Kennedy’s father had been American Ambassador in Britain in the years just before WWII. Jackie came from a very wealthy family. Ridiculous.
Yep
An error they missed: in DEAR MRS, KENNEDY, Elizabeth is seen coming into the room to hear news of the JFK assassination in daylight. It was late November, and 12:30 in Dallas, therefore it 18:30 in London (it would have been dark). More, it seems as if a lot of time passed between the Queen learning of the shooting, and she is next scene in her night clothes learning of his death. In fact, JFK was dead by 19:30 London time, and it seems unlikely that she would already be in her jim-jams. More, it shows JFK drinking hard liquor. JFK has a terrible stomach for almost his entire life; while he did drink a bit, and mixed drinks, he was hardly a drinker of bourbon or scotch or whiskey. (In fact, neither JFK nor RFK were drinkers. Teddy, however, made up for both of them.)
I don't blame MacMillan from wanting to resign as PM. With his wife cheating on him and the Profumo scandal I'd want out too.
It is fun right or wrong
UK prime minister, not "England's Prime Minister!"
Get it right
I have a question: was Queen Elizabeth’s second son and third child bore premature?
The actor portraying Edward VIII looks just like him.
In my opinion too early to replace Claire got as queen elizabeth
Elizabeth II isn't just Queen of England, she's the Queen of the entire United Kingdom and many commonwealth nations. Americans have got a lot to learn.
She’s Canadian you ass
I believe that the Duke of Windsor had a pretty fair idea of what Hitler was up to. If he had stayed King, he would have handed Great Britain to Hitler on a silver tray.
The one who really comes off bad in The Crown is the Queen Mother. Petty, snobbish and anti-democratic. In the Altrincham episode, she says a line that bad mouths the Magna Carta -- considered one of the key documents in the history of Anglo-Saxon political history and democracy.
Bored Lawyer they say she was racists. She called Philip hun
She was a monarch OF COURSE she would be “anti-democratic” when democratic ideas have been what has stripped the power from the British monarchy. Seeing as she’s part of that family, we see her perspective rather than the one we’re used to
The Queen mother was kind of a bitch, she spent a lot of money on parties and when she died she had still 8 Million dollars in debt, even with the Queen paying her extra bills
In the scene, she called Phillip's mother a "hun nun." She showed up to the wedding as a nun, and she was of German origin. In WWI, the Germans were called Huns by the British.
(The scene is ironic. Because Queen Mary, to whom the Queen Mother was speaking, was herself German, and in real life spoke with a thick German accent.)
Angélica Rosalem that I did know. I think she should have done something productive instead of parting like her mother did when her husband died.
designer nervous ideology close spanish inside down fairly security.
Where are your sources?
Sweezzz???? It’s sue-ez.
The swez crisis? It's pronounced sue-ez I believe
I'm searching for a comment saying Nkurumah's accent was not authenticity Ghanaian... but I think they got his dressing right... I'm Kenyan and when we learnt about him I'm school I remember I picture of him in the African dress
Shirley Tatha I am Ghanaian and yes I think he was wearing kente
@@jasmine-fw4yq Was the accent alright?
Shirley Tatha I have not seen the episode yet but I’ll look at it and let you know!
Swez huh? xD
If you watch this show and prefer Margaret to Elizabeth, you might just be a terrible person.
Anthony Eden did nothing that Margaret Thatcher would not have done.
