It's April 3rd. From red carpets to breaking stories, this is entertainment and celebrity news, powered by AI. Prince Philip straight up disliked the crown, for twisting the story of his sister Princess Cecilie's plane crash back in the 1930s. The show and been at a scene where a teenage Philip gets in a fight at Gordonstown School in Scotland, leading to his half-term being cancelled and his. Sister flying over from Germany to see him, only to die in the accident. In reality, none of that went down like that. There was no school brawl, Philip never traveled to the funeral in Germany, and his father actually came to Britain afterward to bring him home. Royal expert Hugo Vickers called out these changes as straight fiction that wrongly penned blame on Philip. Philip made it clear he wasn't tuning in. Actor Matt Smith, who played him in the first two seasons, shared that a friend asked Philip directly at dinner if he'd watched, and he shut it down. With a sharp, don't be ridiculous. The Queen reportedly enjoyed some episodes on Sunday nights via projector, but Philip
steered clear entirely. Smith stayed neutral, saying he'd only trust what Royals tell him, face to face amid all the rumors. This drama highlights how the crown mixes real history with heavy drama, leaving the family divided on whether to binge or boycott.
