Crown jewels stolen from set

Antique props used during filming of The Crown have been stolen.

Valuables worth up to £150,000 ($A270,000) were taken from three vans.

They were to be used in scenes starring Imelda Staunton as the Queen.

One of the props reportedly stolen was a replica of a rare Fabergé egg which was acquired by the Queen’s grandfather, George V, in 1933.

“We can confirm the antiques have been stolen and we hope that they are found and returned safely. Replacements will be sourced; there is no expectation that filming will be held up,” said Netflix.

South Yorkshire police said, “Officers investigated the incident but all existing lines of inquiry have now been exhausted. The case has been filed pending any new lines of inquiry.”

Season 5 is due at the end of 2022.
