The Queen would have NEVER treated PM Thatcher the way it is depicted in The Crown. It is a DRAMA. Made up stories to keep the attention of the viewers. Sadly, I have one friend who believes all she sees in The Crown. She told me ‘well, you will always side with the Royal Family’ (my husband is British) when I tell her the things portrayed in The Crown aren’t true. And now she has ignored two of my calls.
The Royal Family stays with ‘no complain, no explain’. It’s really all they can do.

I am sorry to hear that. It’s odd to think that apparently we have some Revolutionary War feelings stirred up by this show, which I haven’t seen but now I think I must! :)
Very similar to what’s happening here; my liberal Dem Biden-voting sister won’t talk to me.
I really think it’s stupid; we’re family; you and your friend were friends. Sad to think that politics of all kinds are tearing people apart.
It’s almost as if evil is really trying to get to people, to force them apart. I’m serious when I say that.
I have wondered whether it isn't the commoners who live under the monarchy and accept their place in it, as a source of pride for all things British Empire. My SO who lived in London for few months was baffled by the constraints of a true class system. All this changes with the advent of Empire invading the UK to remake the rules and memory of history. Charles may be such a cock-up that it will all end with a whimper.
“...The Queen would have NEVER treated PM Thatcher the way it is depicted in The Crown....”
Right-I always suspected that was misrepresented. First and foremost, politically-the Queen is on the ‘conservative’ side, and Maggie Thatcher CERTAINLY was...all her life
yep!
