Most people who watch The Crown are avid followers of all things royal. From wanting a closer look at Queen Elizabeth’s longtime relationship with Prince Phillip to learning more about one of the most-loved royals Princess Diana; fans of The Crown have become invested in how their dramatized lives play on screen. The thing is, though the Netflix show is based on the royal family, at the end of the day it is just that — a show. But being that the royals have a very strict way as to how they’d like the public to receive them, the TV series has ruffled some feathers along the way. In a new interview with InStyle, Gillian Anderson — who plays Margaret Thatcher on The Crown — talked about the tension between the Netflix drama and the royal family, and how she ultimately thinks the show was actually kinder than the royal family may have warranted.
