Yes, and the fact that I could never develop any sense of empathy for them.
Easier to look through a glass darkly at events that were not captured extensively on film.
True. The story of Elizabeth II and her family are too well documented, and quite frankly the only person in that family who was at all interesting was Margaret, either in real life or in the show. The rest of them are just too buttoned-down and so terribly British. Even Phillip’s extramarital dalliance barely ignited a candle.
Diana was another bright spark, but she comes much later.
