Matt Smith on playing Prince Philip in The Crown Don t. Be. Ridiculous.
That, according to actor Matt Smith, was apparently the Duke of Edinburgh s terse response when asked whether he had ever watched The Crown.
Smith relayed the anecdote during a 2017 interview with the Guardian, as he reflected on his time playing the duke in the hugely successful Netflix drama.
The series portrays the inner life of Britain s modern-day Royal Family, from the abdication of Edward VIII in 1936 to the break-up of Prince Charles s marriage to Diana, Princess of Wales, in the early 1990s. The drama is set to continue in a new season in 2022.
