How accurate is “The Crown”?

by Worldgnasher

Obviously the main historical events are real, but I’m wondering about the peripheral stuff. E.g How do we know the queen’s opinion on different issues? Is there anything else that is misrepresented?

Here is a link to a recent thread about the show's accuracy, which itself contains links to examinations of specific details from The Crown. (Thanks especially to /u/knoperope for combing the archives!)
