See This: The Crown vs Real Life Portrayal of Philip's Aunt

Edwina Mountbatten was the wife of Louis Mountbatten, who was Prince Philip's uncle. Naturally, Edwina and her husband were at his wedding. Here is an image of Edwina at the wedding.
 
 As you can see, Edwina is the woman on the right with the big feathers coming out of her hair. Now the makers of the Netflix Original, The Crown, made sure that all the details for the scene of Queen Elizabeth (then Princess Elizabeth) and Prince Philip's wedding to be as accurate as possible. Here is The Crown's portrayal of Edwina Mountbatten:


Now, you can see Edwina in The Crown portrayal looks practically identical to the real life Edwina Mountbatten, with just a few minor tweaks to the outfit. For instance, real life Edwina had shorter sleeves with longer gloves and The Crown Edwina has long sleeves and gloves. But overall, it's amazing work!

Now, in The Crown portrayal image, look three seats to the left of Edwina, to the woman dressed like a nun. That is Princess Alice of Battenberg, Prince Philip's mother. And yes, she did come to her son's wedding in her nun outfit.

Now, the next time you see The Crown episode Wolferton Splash, the episode Prince Philip and Queen Elizabeth get married, look for Edwina Mountbatten, Prince Philip's aunt!



The images in this article are screenshots taken by me from the Netflix series The Crown and Prince Philip: The Plot to Make a King. (Two definite must watches)

Royal Corgi Information

Queen Elizabeth II is not only in love with corgis! If you thought that Queen Elizabeth strictly only owns corgis, you are wrong. But, corgis are the dog of the royal monarchy. In fact, three of her corgis had a part of the opening ceremony at the London Olympics back in 2012. Three other cool facts to know about the Queen's corgis are: Her love of corgis began as a child when her dad, George VI bought the family a corgi named Dookie. Most of her corgis common ancestor is Susan, who was the Queen's eighteenth birthday present.  Susan the corgi came with Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip on their honeymoon. But the Queen does not limit herself to one breed of dogs! She has also owned labradors, a golden retriever, a cocker spaniel , and a shih tzu. The Queen has also been known to breed dorgis, which are a dachshund corgi mix which sound so cute! I got my information from the book Queen Elizabeth II and the Royal Family

The Royal Ascot 2019

Every summer, members of the British royal family attend the famous Royal Ascot, which is a horse race. This year, some of the members of the royal family that went included the Queen, The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, Princess Anne, and Zara Tindall. Also, King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima of the Netherlands were in attendance. Notably absent were the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who were most likely at home with their a little more than a month old son Archie. In terms of style, the Queen opted for her usual monochromatic look with a blue coat and hat. The Duchess of Cambridge also donned a pleated pale blue dress and fascinator of the same shade to match. Princess Beatrice also wore an all pale blue attire with a wide brimmed blue hat with pink, blue, and yellow tassels. Zara Tindall also joined in the blue fascinator trend, pairing her fascinator with a black dress with a large flowered pattern. Princess Eugenie kept herself within the blue r

The Wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle!

First things first, Meghan's dress was gorgeous. It was simple, elegant, and stunning. The second thing is, the fasinators were amazing! But, before I get into that, let's start at the beginning. This is how I viewed the wedding. 4:00 am - Turned on the television. At this point, people had not started to arrive yet, and it was mainly reporters speculating about Meghan's dress. 4:30 to 5:00 am - People started to come, mainly aristocrats, Hollywood stars, and friends of Harry and Meghan, including Oprah Winfrey, Serena Williams, and Prince Harry's ex Chelsy Davy. Reporters also interviewed people who had charities that Harry and Meghan supported. Sometime after that, (I lost track of the time,) some more celebrities and aristocrats came, including the Middletons, the Beckhams and the Clooneys, as well as some more actresses. Then, the royal family began to arrive. The first royal that I saw was Zara Tindall, who is  pregnant with her second child, who is due v
