Jonathan Pryce Says Some Royals Definitely Watch The Crown, And He Had An ‘Amusing Moment’ Apologizing To One Of Them

Film

One of the main questions that always seems to crop up surrounding  The Crown is whether or not members of the royal family who have been portrayed on the drama are actually binge-watching the excellent Netflix series. Star Jonathan Pryce, who stars as Prince Phillip, recently said that rumors the members of family have a Netflix subscription and watch the series he’s heard are true (at least to an extent). He even explained a moment he had with Princess Anne that “amused” him. 

Of course, even Pryce said the moment with Princess Anne wasn’t straightforward. He recounted the story in an interview with Times Radio on Christmas Eve (via the Independent), noting the The Crown cast has heard certain members of the famous family have been watching, and that a communication with Princess Anne about the possibility was intriguing. 

One of our cast met one of the royal family who intimated that they watched it. When I was made a knight and went to Windsor, and it was Princess Anne who dubbed me, and I was in the middle of playing her father, and there’d been intimations that she’d seen some of it. And so she put the sword lightly on the shoulder, and I stood up and I said – thinking she was thinking, you know – I said, ‘Oh, I don’t know what to say to you…um…sorry? And she said, ‘Why? It’s done now.’
