After a terrible fire at Windsor Castle and a string of scandals for the firm, The Crown recently showed Queen Elizabeth II’s “Annus horribilis.”

The breakups of Charles and Diana’s marriage and Andrew and Sarah Ferguson’s marriage made 1992 a hard year for the Royal Family.

Burghley House, which is near Stamford in Lincolnshire, re-created the terrible fire for The Crown. It is said that the filming took more than two days and that almost 60 extras played firemen and soldiers.
