Loved the extra season of The Crown! Now do Season 4, Episode 10: “War”- would love to hear Robert’s takes on all the riveting confrontations, especially between the Queen and Charles at Balmoral!

Enjoy the show, but the hosts really seem to take offense to anything that may be critical of the Queen and the royal family. Also, this is a drama, not a documentary… constantly getting upset at dramatic license gets a bit old.

I’ve really enjoyed this podcast, especially the juxtaposition of hosts. Royal biographer Robert Hardman lends real life insights into the events as they happened, many of which he covered first hand, while Royal correspondent Natasha Livingston offers us actual locations of events and deep dives into even the most minute of fact checking. I like the different generational perspectives of these events, although they never veer too far off the focus of the show. Great synergy between these two host and wonderful conversations on the events as portrayed. I would love for you to go back to season 1 and break down the last 5 seasons for us. Well done on putting out such an insightful podcast!

Love this podcast! I’m a fan of The Crown, but always have questions about authenticity. Your panel does a wonderful job! Alicia Jacobs

Very interesting podcast giving insight into the real stories behind the show. Found myself binging all episodes after finishing the Crown’s final season.

We hear so much about the royal family from so-called "" royal experts "". On this podcast, we are listening to Robert and Richard who were there at the time (in professional capacities) of these events. Their authority makes this podcast stand out. They share my respect for the late Queen and her family and through this lens they are able to discern some of the license (and bias) that the creators of this series have taken in portraying the royal family. Well done!

If you love Diana & the RF this podcast is a must! It is not only entertaining but the hosts & their guests tell you what really happened & correct all the inaccuracies in The Crown. If you like hearing the inside scoop — you definitely need to listen!

Richard Kay’s insite and comments were especially enlightening. Love your podcast. Looking forward to next series

The hosts of this show would have preferred “The Crown” was never made. And they would prefer that a negative word is never said about senior royals, no matter what, even though they’re human! The hosts also believe they know the real story even though no one can be certain what really happened in other peoples’ minds. On top of the hosts think it’s fine not to know a thing about Arab culture, yet judge the Arab characters in all kinds of ignorant ways. 😬

But you could tone down the constant stone throwing at the series. The creators are producing a show with the caveat that it is loosely based on real life events. They are telling a story. I think they do that quite well. The writing tends to be tight, the actors are top notch and overall well done sets. I enjoy your podcast filling in the factual details.

Love this. Wishing you would go back to the previous seasons too.
