Geri, we just finished the series (The Crown)....we loved it! I had to read up on the royal family after watching it and I think the series was fairly accurate on their portrayal. Life is strange, even for the royals...Elizabeth had no idea that she would ever be queen until the uncle gave up being king to "marry the woman I love." Charles and Anne were born before Elizabeth became queen but she has two more boys...I'm sure that will happen in season two....excellent series!
