Warning: Spoilers ahead for season four of Netflix's 'The Crown.'

On July 9, 1982, Buckingham Palace faced one of its biggest security breaches in modern history.

Michael Fagan, an unemployed house painter, broke into the royal residence and entered the Queen's bedroom, where he is said to have exchanged a few quick words with Her Majesty before security arrived.

The incident was portrayed in the fourth season of Netflix's 'The Crown.' In the episode, titled 'Fagan,' the show gets many details correct. For instance, it shows Fagan (Tom Brooke) successfully breaking into the London palace not once, but twice.

He managed to scale the palace gates, climb up a drain pipe, and climb through a window into the palace. The first time, in June 1982, he wandered around and left without being caught. The second time, a month later, he found Her Majesty's sleeping chambers and was apprehended by the authorities.

However, it's fair to say the show took some creative liberties when adapting Fagan and the monarch's interaction for the screen.

Here's how the show's depiction compares to what really happened.

The Queen and Michael Fagan's interaction is portrayed in a somewhat lighthearted way on 'The Crown,' but this isn't how it played out in real life

The episode shows Fagan enter Queen Elizabeth's room while the monarch is sleeping in bed. Elizabeth (Olivia Colman) doesn't realise an intruder is there until Fagan opens the curtains and sits on the edge of the bed.

A startled Elizabeth demands that Fagan leave, which he refuses. She then tries to telephone for help, but he stops her before she can dial a number.

It's after this that the scene almost becomes comedic, with a couple of amusing lines of dialogue between the pair.

Fagan asks the Queen if she has a cigarette handy, to which the monarch snaps: 'No, filthy habit.'

'I know, I know,' Fagan responds. 'I just thought it might be good for you to meet someone normal who can tell it to you how it is.'

'I meet normal people all the time,' she responds.

'No, you don't,' Fagan says. 'Everyone you meet is on best behaviour.'

In reality, however, Fagan and Elizabeth didn't actually speak for very long, and the intruder didn't wake the Queen.

'She was wide awake when I got in there,' Fagan recently told The Sun of the incident. 'She sat up in bed and said, 'What are you doing here?' and then went off to fetch someone.'

Fagan told The Sun he never asked the Queen for a cigarette, as it would have 'been cheeky and disrespectful and something I just wouldn't do.'

According to Vanity Fair, Her Majesty called the palace's telephonist to request that they send the police to her room, and then made a second call six minutes later after the police still hadn't arrived. She was ultimately able to find a maid, who guided Fagan 'into a nearby pantry on the pretext of supplying him with a cigarette,' the publication reports.

The Queen's footman was then summoned, and was able to keep Fagan occupied â€' by giving him a Scotch â€' until the authorities arrived.

It has been reported that Fagan had a 10-minute conversation with the monarch before he was ushered to another room. However, in a 2012 interview with The Independent, Fagan disputed claims that they had a long conversation.

'Nah! She went past me and ran out of the room; her little bare feet running across the floor,' he said.

In the show's version of events, the Queen didn't leave the room, and she didn't steer Fagan away into another room. She remained speaking with the intruder until a housekeeper arrived with her morning tea, after which security was alerted. The authorities then arrived to apprehend Fagan.

Margaret Thatcher was the motivation behind the break-in on the show, however there were other factors involved in real life

In the episode, Fagan wanted to break into the palace so he could share his concerns with the Queen about the then-Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher. He blamed Thatcher for the rising unemployment rate in Britain at the time.

The show portrayed Fagan as being unemployed with a crumbling family life â€' his wife had left him, and it was later ruled that she would have sole custody of their children.

In real life, the story was a little different.

Speaking to The Independent, Fagan said he didn't know why he broke in the first time: 'I don't know why I did it, something just got into my head.'

Then, addressing his second break-in, he added: 'I went back because I thought 'that's naughty, that's naughty that I can walk round there.'

He also suggested to the publication that he had been high on magic mushrooms at the time.

'I forgot you're only supposed to take a little handful,' he said. 'Two years later I was still coming down. I was high on mushrooms for a long, long time.'

It's not clear whether Thatcher was part of the real reason for Fagan's break-in.
