Part of that huge budget for its realization is destined to the costumes and the question is who has not fallen in love with the dresses and suits that appear in the series? Carefully studied and made in such a way that they are very close to those worn by the real members at the time, becoming one of the most important things in the series, something that allows us to be transported to the times shown in each chapter and that helps us to learn more about the personality of each of the characters.

The costume designer for the first season was Michele Clapton and for the third and fourth seasons, Amy Roberts took over with the help of Sidonie Roberts (costume assistant) and Sarah Moore (costume supervisor). Each one has managed to captivate us with each design that, in addition to being almost a replica of the originals, let their imagination run wild to add some details of their own in each look.

The secret of the costumes is the selection of colors for each character and the accessories that they will wear, of course, all that will depend on the style of who they are going to represent. There is no doubt that this eye and attention to detail is what allowed the series to give quality and success.

Much has been said about the division of opinions that the royal family has had regarding the series, the truth is that the Queen has seen some chapters as well as Princess Eugenia, who has shown her support towards the realization of the biography of her grandmother.
