The Crown Gripe

I can't remember exactly where or when I first read the story of Michael Fagan, the legendary Brit who broke into Queen Elizabeth's bedroom and had a harmless chat with her for a while before being caught. I also didn't know anyone else who knew the story, and I clung to it for years before just this past August, when I started breaking it down into what I am hoping to be an amazing script for a comedy film.

SO of course I was miffed when the story popped on the latest series of The Crown, as I'd no longer be able to drop this little bit of knowledge at dinner parties and impress everybody. I guess I should still write the screenplay, especially since there's a better chance of that happening than my being invited to a dinner party.
