🧵

Netflix's biographical drama retells the life of #QueenElizabethII 👑 - However, the show doesn't necessarily get all the history entirely accurate with some critics, such as Royal Biographer Angela Levin branding the programme as "fiction".

We take a look back over the previous series of The Crown to explain what scenes they got totally wrong!

Claire Foy portrayed Her Majesty, The Queen in series 1 and 2. In the scene which shows Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip's wedding, Elizabeth is nervous and stumbles over her words... 1/2

#QueenElizabethII
...However according to a letter from her father, King George VI, this could not be further from the truth.

His Majesty wrote: "You were so calm and composed during the service, and said your words with such conviction." 2/2

The show depicts the relationship between The Queen and her first PM Winston Churchill as distant and frosty at points. According to reports however, their relationship was warm and friendly.

Her Majesty was even previously quoted saying Winston was her favourite Prime Minister.
The opening scene of the drama series is set in 1947 and shows King George VI, played by Jared Harris, coughing up blood after struggling with lung cancer.

However, he was actually not diagnosed with lung cancer until a year before his death in 1951.

Series 3 shows the meeting of Prince Charles and Camilla, and the relationship between Camilla's future first husband Andrew Parker-Bowles and Princess Anne.
However, in 1972 when Charles and Camilla met, Princess Anne was already in a courtship with future husband Mark Phillips.
Episode 5 of series 4 depicts when Michael Fagan broke into #BuckinghamPalace in 1982.
The Crown shows the reason he broke in was to express his anger with the government directly to The Queen.
However in reality he broke in on a whim saying: "something just got into [his] head".
Margaret Thatcher's son Mark, disappeared for 6 days in 1982 whilst competing in the Paris Dakar Rally.
In #TheCrown this weighs heavily on The PM just as the Falklands conflict begins.
However the conflict did not begin until almost 3 months after Mark returned safely to the UK.
Fans of Netflix series #TheCrown have since demanded that the show bosses should produce another series after the death of Queen Elizabeth II.

We got to speak to a 'real-life' vampire🧛🦇​

[THREAD] 🧵
Merticus, in his 40s, is the head of the Atlanta Vampire Alliance in America and has identified as a vampire since 1997.

While he hides in plain sight, he does feed on human blood😶
#vampires Man hiding
He is what many would consider a sanguinarian vampire – an individual who says they cannot adequately sustain their own physical, mental, or spiritual well-being without the taking of blood from other sources.

We'll start with iconic sex symbol Marilyn Monroe, the blonde bombshell was highly in demand in Hollywood during the 50’s and early 60’s.

But unfortunately, at the age of 36, the iconic actress died of barbiturate overdose in August 1962. Her death was ruled a probable suicide.
