Anderson, 52, thanked show creator Peter Morgan for “writing an exquisitely multidimensional character against the odds” in addition to the series' “extraordinary” hair and makeup team for transforming her into the former prime minister, calling her look the “Thatcher helmet thing.”

Expressing similar sentiments, Anderson said: “I would say that, you know, Harry is fairly well qualified to judge what is fact or fiction and that it was pleasing to hear that he understood what Peter was trying to do on the ground that you know he’s telling a nuanced story of the challenges of putting duty and service before love and family and that he has certainly many many many years of experience with that.”

She continued, “And so I think it was, it was nice to, to be on the outside, and also on the inside of a show that I care about hearing, perhaps that subject put to rest. One would hope.”

On Thursday, Harry, 36, opened up to Corden about his thoughts onThe Crown, revealing that he thinks it is truer than some of the news stories about him and wife,Meghan Markle.
“They don’t pretend to be news. It’s fiction. But it’s loosely based on the truth. Of course, it’s not strictly accurate,” hetold Cordenwhile riding an open-top bus through Los Angeles.
Harry, who has his own deal with streaming service Netflix, went on to say that he realizes the show is a drama.
“It gives you a rough idea about what that lifestyle, what the pressures of putting duty and service above family and everything else, what can come from that,” he explained, adding, “I’m way more comfortable withThe Crownthan I am seeing the stories written about my family, or my wife, or myself. That is obviously fiction – take it how you will. But this is being reported on as fact because you’re supposedly news.”
In addition to Anderson and Corrin’s Golden Globe wins,The Crown’sJosh O’Connoralso took home the award for best actor in a drama for his role asPrince Charlesand the show itselfwonfor best television series — drama.
