What You See on 'The Crown' Season 3 Isn't How Princess Anne and Andrew Parker Bowles' Affair Went Down
The Real Story of Their Relationship
You've seen Andrew Parker Bowles' relationship with Princess Anne play out in season three of The Crown, but here's what really happened. According to Elle, Princess Anne and Andrew Parker Bowles are actually still friends, and Andrew is even godfather to Anne's daughter, Zara.
After her romance with Andrew ended, Anne married Mark Phillips. Andrew Parker Bowles and Princess Anne's romance was depicted in season three of The Crown, but the show took some liberties with the timeline and details of their relationship.
For example, the show suggests that Anne and Andrew's affair began in 1970, but in reality, they didn't start dating until 1973. The show also portrays Anne as being more in love with Andrew than he was with her, but in reality, it was Andrew who was more smitten with Anne.
Despite the show's inaccuracies, it's still a fascinating look at one of the most talked-about royal relationships of all time.
