The scene in which Princess Margaret discusses the fire at Windsor Castle and her motives for wanting to burn it down is hands down the best scene in the series. I get tears, and chills and goosebumps every time I watch it.
It's amazing how accurately they managed to depict real events, speeches and outfits to real life. The show runners and writers certainly did their homework.
I think Princess Margaret being denied marriage to Pete Townsend had a lot to do with her short unhealthy life, which ended at age 71. It looks like she never got over it.
One of the most striking characters in the summary above is Princess Diana, whose journey is portrayed with emotional depth and complexity. Diana stands out as a symbol of resilience and vulnerability amidst the chaos of royal life. Her solo trip to New York highlights her growing independence and global influence, while her confrontation with Charles underscores the tragic nature of their relationship. The depiction of her media-dominated romance with Dodie Al-Fayed and the ominous foreshadowing of her eventual death paints a harrowing picture of how public scrutiny and personal struggles intertwined in her life. Diana’s humanity shines through in moments of both strength and despair, making her an unforgettable figure in The Crown.
While Margaret being appalled on behalf of her cousins, Katherine and Nerissa, being hidden away, was largely fictional, I'm glad that they still took the time to highlight the two ladies, and to humanise them.
I remember the Queen's (Coleman) dressing down of Charles, telling him to grow up and act like the Prince he's supposed to be and stop complaining, as being particularly stirring. This is mainly because 1) Charles deserved it, and 2) Coleman was so good at portraying the Queen's end-of-her-rope annoyance at his behavior.
The Hereditary Principle's reveal of the true story of the Bowes-Lyon sisters struck an existential chord in me as a disabled person. Not much has changed though, even if it looks like it has. There are still people who think like that and who hurt and betray their loved ones like that as well. Connecting it to Princess Margaret's issues without even touching on Princess Diana's was smart for the show to do because it had to show what the British royal family is prone to do with anyone of difference. The Bowes-Lyons sisters were the worst example. Margaret and Diana were not even in the middle of that worst decision, but they were on the scale. The monarchy isn't worth destroying people's lives over an illusion.
George V might've regretted not rescuing the Nicholas II and his family, but he did the right thing of not causing a potential friction with the Bolshevik institution at the time by doing something rash #TheCrownMustPrevail

She could have married Townsend though. But she lived the titles, pomp and privileges way too much. She simply couldn't give it all up
Princess Alice was sad; other thought she was insane only she was deaf and mistreated badly. I just wanted to hug her for what happened
As someone who is developmentally disabled, I find the way that the Bowes-Lyon sisters were treated appalling!
I agree, similar to the way the Kennedy patriarch treated Rosemary.

Best series ever made.

One of my favorite serises in Netflix
The episode about Philip's time at Gordonstoun should have been included.

Loved this show
It can't be shocking girl it's history
I am one of the people who think that Charles is not my king.
The romanovs death and Mountbattens dead shockt me

Happy friday night, Kirsten, take care and God bless you. Greetings from Colombia to you as well

Funny how they make Charles out to be progressive then, but on the wrong side now.
Charles is on the side that makes/keeps him King.
I have yet to see Seasons 5 and 6.
When I heard The royal family had to approve it, it means this series gave us lies.
Ah 1992. Until 2016 it was Britians worst year
