In the week followingQueen Elizabeth II’s death, viewership for “The Crown” skyrocketed.
Philip says Anne, Princess Royal, without hesitation, while the late monarch isn’t so sure.
Her late husband notes that it’s obviously Prince Andrew, Duke of York.

But, was “The Crown” right about who the queen’s favorite child was?
But, of course, the queen never openly spoke or admitted such a fact.
But that didn’t stop people from speculating exactly who she favored among her four children.

Historian and advisor to “The Crown,” Robert Lacey agreed.
According to a body language expert, neither Andrew nor Edward were the queen’s favorites.
In fact, it wasPrincess Anne.
