Netflix's The Crown depicted the late queen demanding the public pay for her luxury yacht, the Britania, but is any of it true?
Season five of The Crown has kicked off and fans will be looking forward to seeing how some of the controversial moments in the Royal Family's recent past will be represented on screen. One topic of conversation surrounding the new release focused on the late Queen Elizabeth and her love of boats.
In the show, when asked whether or not her holiday home in Balmoral was her favourite residence she fails to answer, prompting a cut scene to her yacht, the HMY Royal Britannia. Later she is depicted demanding John Major arrange a refurb - direct from the pockets of the British public.
