According to actor Matt Smith - who played the Duke of Edinburgh in the Crown - Prince Philip's response to whether he watched The Crown was: "Don't. Be. Ridiculous."
The hugely popular drama series, which portrayed the inner life of Britain's modern-day Royal Family, covered many of the moments in Prince Philip's life.
Smith, who was nominated for an Emmy in 2018 for playing the role, told Variety that year: "I sort of loved Philip, and there was a lot that I could identify with: the competitiveness, the sporting nature, the battle, the defiance and the maleness.
"All the research I did found him to be brilliantly funny, very clever, very popular. In the royal house he's the most popular of all of them. If you've talked to any of the staff, Philip's the one they all love really. I think more than a lot of them, he's a bit more of a man of the people."
Actor Tobias Menzies, who played an older Philip in the series, has also spoken about the role.
And on Friday, following the news of the duke's death, Menzies tweeted: "If I know anything about the Duke of Edinburgh I'm fairly sure he wouldn't want some actor who has portrayed him on television giving their opinion on his life," he said, going on to quote the character of Orlando in Shakespeare's As You Like It.
