The Crown: The real story of the royal family’s dysfunctional life behind closed doors

The dysfunction of the Royal Family - both real and imagined - is at the heart of season five of The Crown.

Omid Scobie, Yahoo UK royal executive editor, explains how the Queen’s intense schedule of official engagements meant that she was forced to spend large chunks of time – sometimes even months – away from her young children, and what Charles and his siblings have said about how this impacted them and their family lives.

Scobie explores how The Crown uses and expands on its real-life source material for dramatic effect, and breaks down what the Queen’s children thought about her.
