Ruritania

In this episode of The Crown: Fact or Fiction, Natasha Livingstone and Robert Hardman discuss the events of Season 6, Episode 6 of The Crown: "Ruritania." The episode depicts Tony Blair at the height of his powers, having won a landslide election, riding the wave of "Cool Britannia" and leading Nato in a just war. By contrast the Royal Family find their appeal waning, questioning if they are being left behind by the world and debating if modernisation is needed. Robert Hardman explains some of the more esoteric roles that are employed by the Crown and explores the relationships between the monarch and their closest advisors. Natasha Livingstone fact checks the events and timeline of the episode and gives additional detail on one of Tony Blair's lesser known but most heartfelt honours from the time.Make sure you're following The Crown: Fact Or Fiction so you don't miss an episode.  We love reading your reviews and comments, leave one and we might read it on the next episode!Send The Crown: Fact Or Fiction your views and opinions on Whatsapp: 07796657512 Include the words “The Crown”, “Fact or Fiction” or “FOF” so we know which show you’re giving your opinion on!https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-crown-fact-or-fiction/id1714259572  Hosted on Acast.
