In March, Prince Harry weighed in on "The Crown" and how accurate it is. 

"It’s fictional, but it’s loosely based on the truth. Of course, it’s not strictly accurate; it gives you a rough idea about what that lifestyle is, the pressures of putting duty and service above family and everything else, what can come from that," he told James Corden.
