Queen Elizabeth II was portrayed in plays and highbrow films, in made-for-TV movies and broad comedies and, of course, in “The Crown.” Many sought to answer the question: What was she like?

Everyone has a memory of seeing Princess Diana in her wedding dress. The specifics may be fuzzy, but we all have an idea in our head of what that particular gown meant. It’s soft, extravagant, and utterly unique. The women of Buckingham Palace truly take center stage in the fourth season of Netflix’s
The Crown, and Emmy-winning costume designer Amy Roberts gets the chance of a lifetime to introduce Diana to the world.
Diana was one of the most photographed women in history, so everyone has a favorite look or outfit. The paparazzi made sure that we saw everything that Diana was wearing at all times. Roberts couldn’t let that pressure get to her, however.
âThe Queenâ: James Cromwell
James Cromwell, an American, played Philip opposite Helen Mirren as Queen Elizabeth II, a performance that won her an Oscar in 2007. The New York Times said Cromwell played Philip as a âdim bulb,â one of a cast of secondary characters who âprove especially crucial because itâs through their dealings with the queen, their awe and boobishness ..., that we start to get a handle on her.â Cromwell was nominated for an Oscar in 1995 for âBabeâ; he starred in HBOâs âSix Feet Underâ and the movie âL.A. Confidential,â to name only a few of his many credits.
Millions of Netflix viewers will, on hearing of the
duke of Edinburghâs death, think first of the character played by Matt Smith and Tobias Menzies in The Crown. That version is irascible, discontented, dynamic, potentially unfaithful and consistently irreverent.
Worse was written about Queen Elizabethâs consort during his life. Any perusal of the euphemisms thrown at Prince Philip in largely positive obituaries will confirm he was seen as, to employ one more evasion, a complex character.
The New York Times called him abrasive. Reuters went with âblunt-speakingâ. The Wall Street Journal favoured âsometimes outspokenâ. We needed only âdidnât suffer fools gladlyâ to complete the Prince Philip bingo card. Oh, hang on. The Daily Telegraph has just obliged. Bingo!
