I spend most of my working day writing about people like Winston Churchill and Margaret Thatcher, as well as the Queen herself. The character who dooms the entire enterprise is Gillian Anderson’s Margaret Thatcher. So I moved on to the 1980s: Margaret Thatcher, the Falklands, Diana and Camilla. But the character who dooms the entire enterprise is Gillian Anderson’s Margaret Thatcher. Many viewers will conclude that the real Queen is a heartless automaton, and our real future King a monster of vanity and self-pity.
