- Princess Diana's ghost. One of perhaps the most surprising moments in the sixth season of The Crown so far is the introduction of Princess Diana as a ghostly figure, engaging in post-death conversations with both then-Prince Charles and Queen Elizabeth II.
- Dodi’s fiancée waited on his yacht while he entertained Diana. While it appears that some of the more intimate conversations between those involved in the love triangle depicted in episode one of the sixth season of The Crown have been fictionalised, the crux of this story is very much true—at least according to Dodi's alleged former fiancée Kelly Fisher.
- Princess Diana and Dodi Fayed's kiss. The kiss between Dodi and Diana, which is captured by paparazzi photographers and splashed all over the tabloid papers much to the embarrassment of the Royal Family, is a key moment for series six.
- Princess Margaret was the only royal to attend Camilla's 50th birthday party. It's true that Prince Charles's 50th birthday bash for Camilla was somewhat overshadowed by the coverage of Diana on holiday with the Fayed family in St Tropez, but there are some inconsistencies around the party itself.

On the first half of the series, Churchill's charms rub off on his young and eager assistant Venetia Scott (Kate Phillips), who seemingly develops a crush on the legendary statesman after reading his autobiography. While the increased attention given to Scott on season 1's "Act of God" episode would leave you to believe that she and Churchill (John...
While the Great Smog plays a central role on The Crown, the panic it shows was apparently not all together accurate. While the Great Smog was denser and longer-lasting than previous "fogs," the long-term effects of the Great Smog weren't realized until several weeks — and even years — later as Londoners were already used to bad air quality. Still, ...
While Philip (Matt Smith) is off flying planes and checking out waitresses at gentlemen's clubs, Elizabeth gets a bit of her fun on The Crownwhen she takes up horse breeding alongside her childhood friend Porchie, aka Lord Porchester and later Earl of Carnarvon (Joseph Kloska). Elizabeth's obvious excitement — and blushes — around Porchie leads to ...
Philip's closeness with his uncle, Lord Mountbatten (Greg Wise), is the cause of some courtier rumblings on The Crown, mostly because they don't want to see the Mountbatten family take over the Windsors. In real life, Mountbatten did hold considerable influence over Philip and acted as a father figure after the future Duke of Edinburgh was sent to ...
On The Crown, much is made of the fact that the Duke and Duchess of Windsor (Alex Jennings and Lia Williams, respectively) have nicknames for the royal family — ranging from the almost-cruel like "Cookie" or "the Scottish Cook" for the Queen Mother (Victoria Hamilton) to the cutesy "Shirley Temple" for the Queen. It turns out that these names are t...
The relationship between Elizabeth's younger sister Margaret (Vanessa Kirby) and the much-older Townsend (Ben Miles) is a central plot point on the first season of The Crown, and the relationship was very much real. As shown on the series, Margaret was required to have her marriage approved by the Queen and Parliament, and Churchill advised that th...
As The Crown depicts, courtiers were wary of Elizabeth's children taking on Philip's chosen last name of Mountbatten, as they feared that this gave too much weight to the Mountbatten family over the Windsors. In 1952, Elizabeth announced that her children would use the last name of "Windsor" when needed, although, in 1958, she quietly changed the n...
While Philip did push back against tradition on family issues like his children's last names and their education, he would have understood and respected the significance of kneeling in front of Elizabeth at her coronation — and also likely balked at the breech of protocol as a royal himself. "I doubt Prince Philip ever spoke those words to his wife...
