Gillian Anderson is pleased Prince Harry understands The Crown is fiction.

The 52-year-old actress – who plays Margaret Thatcher in the Netflix series based on the lives of members of the royal family – is overjoyed to hear that the Duke of Sussex has expressed his opinion of the show and realises that the creator Peter Morgan has twisted factual events to make the show more riveting.
