The scene between the Queen and Thatcher following the Sunday Times story has virtually identical dialogue to the scene in The Crown.
I have been reminded of that period by the current series of The Crown, detailing as it does the tension between The Queen and the then prime minister, Margaret Thatcher.
The then Sunday Times editor, Andrew Neil, who wrote that famous headline, also has a bit part in The Crown, one of the bittiest bit parts in the history of TV drama.
Neil confirms this, though he is unconvinced that, as implied by The Crown, the Queen encouraged the leaking.
