In this episode of The Crown: Fact or Fiction, Natasha Livingstone and Robert Hardman discuss the events of episode 5, season 6 of The Crown: "Willsmania."

The episode finds a teenage Prince William coming to terms with the loss of his mother, struggling with a strained relationship with his father, Prince Charles, and new found celebrity as a pin up for teenage girls around the world.

Robert Hardman describes what it was like when Willsmania hit, with first hand experience of the famous Royal visit to Vancouver that saw teenage pandemonium take hold, huge crowds and even interruptions to the biggest television shows of the time. But did the Crown get it right?

Natasha Livingstone sheds some light on the accuracy of The Crown's depiction of the teenage Prince William and shares a story about a practical joke played upon him by his mother that would be almost impossible for anyone but Diana, Princess of Wales.
