TV’s young Prince Philip talks about meeting the royal family.
The late Queen Elizabeth appears to have been a huge fan of TV series The Crown, according to actor Matt Smith, who played Prince Philip in the series in his younger years.
“I met the current King Charles, I told him he wears great shoes … and then I met Harry once at the polo,” the actor recalled speaking on the “Today” show.
“Harry came up to me and said ‘Grandpa’ because he watched the series,” she added.
“I heard the Queen had watched it too, yes, and she was watching it on Sunday night, apparently.”
“don’t be ridiculous”
“I know Philip certainly didn’t attend,” Smith said of the Duke of Edinburgh, who died in April 2021 before his 100th birthday.
Once, a friend of his sat next to Prince Philip at a dinner party and asked him if he could see the Crown.
“My friend couldn’t resist. At the end of the meal he said, ‘Philip, I have to ask you, have you watched The Crown?’ And Philip turned to him and said, ‘Don’t be ridiculous’.”
