Netflix's original series "The Crown" chronicles Queen Elizabeth's reign and royal family scandals. Princess Anne, Princess Eugenie, and Meghan Markle have said they've watched some episodes. Camilla, the Queen Consort, also referenced the show when meetings two of its stars.
Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip
Yes, the queen herself has seen The Crown (though Prince Philip apparently isn't a fan), but that's not the only royal show she's into. Her Majesty reportedly also enjoys Downton Abbey and specifically looks for historical inaccuracies while viewing.

Palace officials have not commented on the series. The first three installments of “Harry & Meghan,” released last week, focused on the British media's coverage of the couple and the way it was influenced by racism.
The royal family has declined to respond to the allegations in the series thus far, but it has denied Harry and Meghan's allegations of racism and said the issues raised by the couple, "particularly that of race, are concerning." Buckingham Palace has said it would address the matters privately.
Camilla, the Queen Consort
She didn't say that she watches "The Crown," necessarily — but she is aware.
“She was very much a hit with the royal family—they really warmed to her,” Chernock says. “Diana worked very, very hard to ingratiate herself and to model what she thought being a princess would entail, and she did it very successfully.”
“And not only that, Harry does not have input in the scripts or narrative of the show either directly through [The Crown's production company] Leftbank or indirectly through Netflix. There is no opportunity for him to send over his ideas or suggestions either.”
