Matt Smith, who portrayed Prince Philip on "The Crown," revealed Prince Harry once called him "grandad" and Queen Elizabeth II used to watch the hit Netflix show.
Lori Bashian is an entertainment production assistant for Fox News Digital.
"I met Harry once at the polo, which sounds a bit grand, but it wasn’t that grand. And he walked up to me and he went, ‘Grandad,’ because he watched the show," Smith recalled. "I can't claim to know if he watches it currently, but he watched a bit of it then."
Smith also shared that he has "heard the queen had watched it" and that she used to dedicate her Sunday nights to watching the Netflix show on a projector.
