The Crown may be based on the reign of the late Queen Elizabeth II, but questions have arisen about the show's accuracy in the real-life events that it depicts. Peter Morgan's dramatization of events in the latter half of the 20th century, seen through the eyes of the United Kingdom's royal family, has covered historical events from Queen Elizabeth II's coronation to the Moon landings, and even the music of Billy Joel. The Crown has seen two actresses play Queen Elizabeth II so far, Claire Foy and Olivia Colman, with Imelda Staunton due to take over the role for the final two seasons of the Netflix show.
