Join us on a behind-the-scenes tour of the filming locations for the
award-winning Netflix series The Crown.
The series re-creates the romance and intrigue at the heart of Britain's
royal family, and within these pages we seek out the settings so
integral to the story, linking each fictional site to its real-life
counterpart.
Covering the first four seasons, starting with Princess Elizabeth's
marriage to Prince Philip in 1947 and concluding in 1990--with attention
to the relationship of Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer following
their 1981 wedding--this is the perfect opportunity for every fan of
The Crown to follow in the footsteps of royalty.
Stunning Ely Cathedral provides the backdrop to the iconic Westminster
Abbey where Princess Elizabeth's wedding took place, while Belvoir
Castle, Hatfield House, and Burghley House are just three of the fine
locations that double as Windsor Castle. Historic Winchester Cathedral
transforms into St. Paul's Cathedral in the run-up to the wedding of
Charles and Diana, its versatility also seeing it representing both
Romsey Abbey and Westminster Abbey.
Sweeping across Britain from London and the home counties to the Welsh
treasure that is Caernarfon Castle, heading north to Manchester and
Liverpool and onward to the majestic Scottish Highlands, this book takes
you on a royal tour of Britain and the venues that were an inspiration
for this special drama.
Many of the featured sites are open to the public, so in addition to
learning about how these places played their part, you can visit and
enjoy the real spectacle in person.
