** Whilst having a discussion about the sovereign interfering in government, Queen Mary tells Elizabeth that is her duty to do nothing and be a symbol of unity and the less she says or expresses an opinion, the better. About 17 years later, Elizabeth has a similar conversation with Charles where she uses the exact precise same dialogue that her grandmother used with her and Charles also uses the exact same responses to his mother that she had.

* ArtisticLicenseGeography: In Series 6 episode "Dis-Moi Oui", Diana and Dodi ostensibly head to Monte Carlo for an evening out. However, not only does the graffiti on the walls of the streets and the pop-up street betting games immediately signify that this is not scrupulously clean and well-ordered UsefulNotes/{{Monaco}}, but paparazzi-type press photographers are simply not allowed in the Principality and the very prevalent police would immediately shut down such action, as well as swiftly quelling the screaming throng that chase Diana and Dodi into a jewellers, and later down to their transfer boat at Port Hercules.

** Margaret is the foolish one to Elizabeth's responsibility, but her father's death and forced separation from her love, on top of having to stifle her lively personality for publicity's sake, is what drives Margaret's acting out. It's also implied that the trope is played up more than it actually exists because the press wants the cliché of the good queen and her wicked sister.

** Prince Andrew and Prince Charles both take huge Levels in {{Jerkass}} season 4, the former being a sexual deviant and generally pompous prick with little to no redeeming qualities, and Charles is the same (to a lesser extent, however) and is a borderline domestic abuser who is portrayed as selfish and arrogant although not as much as his brother (keep in mind that, unlike Andrew's relationship with Epstein which is being hinted, Charles' own relationship with Jimmy Savile was completely scrapped).

* IdiotBall: A major plotline in the last two episodes involves Margaret reaching her 25th birthday and both her and Elizabeth assuming she (Margaret) will finally be free to marry divorcee Peter Townsend, until Elizabeth is told of the remainder of the Royal Marriages Act (which says any marriage would be valid, ''unless'' Parliament voices disapproval). However, the series had previously taken great pains to establish that while Elizabeth's education in the arts and sciences was lacking at best, her constitutional and legal education was first-rate, as befitting a future monarch. So Elizabeth based a major promise to her sister on the Royal Marriages Act, yet either never bothered or was unable to read and understand the Act itself?
