The Crown season three's most upsetting episode follows the Aberfan disaster, but what really happened?
November 17, 2019 - 14:19 GMT Emmy Griffiths One of the most affecting episodes of The Crown season three focuses on the Aberfan disaster of 1966, in which 144 people, 116 of whom were children, were killed when a coal heap collapsed and engulfed the local primary school. The heartbreaking episode saw the Queen have a delayed response to the tragedy, waiting eight days before visiting the site, then being unable to shed a tear during her visit.
In the episode, the Queen released a statement about the tragedy, but wouldn't visit the village. While in the show, she believes that she shouldn't go as it isn't right for the royal family to visit disaster sites, causing a great deal of controversy in the press, in reality her reasoning behind not going until over a week after the disaster was never explained.
