The report also said that the royal couple even arranged for special Saturday night screening sessions at the Windsor Castle. According to The Independent , the Queen watched the show and loved it but there were some parts which she felt were highly dramatised.

The report also says that the couple come to dine with The Queen at Windsor as part of a long-established arrangement and that includes watching TV while they are eating. The Prince and his wife strongly recommended the show to the Queen during one such visit.

The series is made on the award winning play called The Audience by Peter Morgan. Claire Foy plays Queen Elizabeth in the show while Matt Smith plays Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. The show is one of the most expensive one to be made with the first season costing over $130 million.
