- TriviaThe American actress to whom Queen Elizabeth and Prince Andrew are referring to in their lunch meeting is Koo Stark (born Kathleen Norris Stark), who dated Prince Andrew for eighteen months, from February 1981 until 1983, and also starred in the film Emily (1976). In 1997, Prince Andrew became the godfather of Stark's daughter.
- GoofsThe events of Mark Thatcher's disappearance and the Argentina landing on South Georgia are portrayed as happening at exactly the same time. This is wrong. Thatcher's disappearance happened in January 1982 (9th January to the 14th January). The Argentinian scrap metal workers did land on South Georgia and raise the Argentina flag as portrayed, but this didn't happen until March 19th 1982, two months after Mark Thatcher's disappearance.
- Quotes
Carol Thatcher: You disregard me. You overlook me. And you favor Mark.
Margaret Thatcher: Because he's stronger. Like my father was stronger. Yes. You are right. I did struggle with my mother, but it had nothing to do with her sex. It had to do with her weakness. I could not bear how she was prepared to just be a housewife.

Ann is emotional. She's bleating on about her despair about nothing. Yes there is an oppressiveness with being in the royal family but recklessness and drama is not relatable for the Queen Elizabeth. They are different and again there's an intimacy gap.
Yes Phillip believes Andrew is her favorite but she looks like she wants to walk out. She's not just recoiling because it's not natural for her to talk about sex with her son but Phillip is callous to humane boundaries. He doesn't have empathy for anyone not even his mom who he is torturing at the moment. Would he kill Charles and his children. Who knows? Everything is good fun and can be re-framed as art or modernization.
I thought Charles was written poorly until I realized the dialogue isn't ridiculous, pompous and superficial - Charles is. And she can barely look at him. She laughs, scold, mocks him for his dry self absorption. He's sullen, cold and a walking satire of English pretension. I don't like Charles but when she demanded they get on with her lunch because she needs to get back- I felt bad for him. He's not likable. Even his mother needs distance from him and Queen Elizabeth relates to Diane who is hiding from him.
