'The Crown' Fact-Checked: Did Queen Elizabeth Approve Of Charles and Camilla's Marriage?

News 18  

After six seasons and three casts, Peter Morgan’s opulent fiction– “The Crown”–about the life of Queen Elizabeth II has ended. In its final instalment, ‘The Crown’ showed dramatised scenes of Charles’s proposal and subsequent request for the Queen’s approval to marry Camilla as the couple faced scrutiny following Princess Diana’s death in 1997 as well as the fallout faced by the Royal Family over its response. It documented the initial reserve within the royal family around the couple’s wedding, with both Prince William and Prince Harry giving their approval first before the Queen gave the go-ahead to the marriage. According to a report by The News, former royal butler Grant Harrold revealed Queen Elizabeth was heavily involved in the planning of Charles and Camilla’s wedding at Windsor Guildhall. In an interview with Guides For Brides, Harold revealed that the late monarch played a huge part in organising important wedding details on the day, from the flowers to Charles and Camilla’s wedding rings The Queen also gave a hilarious speech at the newlywed’s reception, according to the former royal aide.
