This was good! It had a lot of information I already knew about Queen Elizabeth and the years in which season 1 of The Crown takes place, but there were some things that I didn't know before. It did get me eager to watch the show again and finally make more progress with the later seasons so I can read more of these companion books.

I consider myself a bit of a history fan and have always been intrigued by the relatively more modern royal families that still rule in some way. Nothing particularly surprising for me from this volume but I do appreciate the parts where they tell apart the real events and the events and characters that were either embellished or invented wholecloth for the show. What can I say, I like reading deep dives.

I am obsessed with the British royal family, and loved the Crown on Netflix, I really thought that it was so brilliantly done.

I received this as a gift and it is the perfect companion to the Netflix show. This book was made for people like me who immediately started Googling real life events after each episode. This book contains snippets from history as well as the most beautiful glossy photos, both of the real people and scenes from the show. The glossy pages make this a great coffee table book.

If you enjoyed the Crown, then I highly recommend this book.

While I loved this book, I have to take off a star for the (lack of) editing that gets worse with every chapter and the breaking off midsentence to show photos and extra text in character pages.
