Cast of The Crown defend show after critics accuse it of 'crude sensationalism'
The programme's third actress to play the late Queen, Imelda Staunton, told the BBC the drama should be viewed as "still history" as it's set 30 years ago.
Speaking at an earlier press conference Jonathan Pryce, who plays Prince Philip, said: "People will gain a bit of comfort seeing her embodied again." Princess Diana's death, in a 1997 car crash, doesn't feature in the new 10 episodes but it will in the final series.
