Watching midway through The Crown s4 ep2.
It's now the 80's and I remember parts (Mountbatten's assassination, Thatcher, and the soon to be Charles & Diana wedding). I'm grimacing at how the royals' are portrayed (snobbish, rude etc.) especially the scenes at Balmoral with Thatcher.
Great series but find myself getting PO'd. s1-s3 was "history" and that was interesting.
s4 is a tad too close to home. As Thatcher said (paraphrased) "what am I doing here, away from reality ... struggling to find any redeeming features in these people at all ... patronizing bullies"
