They’re not “errors”, they’re creative choices - the kind that every dramatist has to make because there’s no such thing as an accurate history drama

There is undoubtedly a nuanced discussion to be had about seductive verisimilitude in costume design being coupled to fictionalised story & characters. The Crown works extremely hard to *look* legit, which does suggest other details might have been carefully reconstructed...

But every historical drama does this, to a certain extent - they didn’t wear T-shirts & jeans in Poldark.

The other big problem is when people have lived through an era, they are much more critical of how it’s portrayed on screen.

By the way, I think #TheCrown is generally rather anti-monarchy, but the complaints have only arrived because series 4 is living memory for many more of its viewers https://twitter.com/greg_jenner/status/1196225747872092161
