Queen Leaking Criticism of Thatcher
Season 4 has the Queen intentionally leaking her disapproval of Thatcher’s “uncaring” policies to the press. This portrays her as politically motivated. No evidence exists that Elizabeth authorized such a leak. The Sunday Times story about royal disapproval likely came from staff speculation or palace insiders, not from the Queen herself. Elizabeth was famously careful to remain politically neutral throughout her reign, making this storyline particularly questionable.
