Hairstyles on The Crown can't be easy for the hairstylist. Many of the historical figures featured are renowned for their famous tresses – whether it’s Jackie Kennedy’s enormous blow-dry, the Queen Mother’s crimp or Princess Margaret’s big bouffant. Get it wrong and the illusion vanishes. So how close did The Crown hair team get? We take a look.
