Summary: "The Crown" begins in 1947 prior to the reign of Queen Elizabeth II as she eagerly awaits news about her impending marriage to Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. Decades before her Platinum Jubilee, the family of the United Kingdom's longest-reigning ruler scrambles to secure the supremacy of their monarchy by balancing tradition and progress.
Critic Review: "I don't know how much literal truth there is in the story 'The Crown' is telling about the royals... But the season's insights into our emotions and familial volatility, and its ways of articulating it in such reflective ways, need no added research," wrote Alex Abad-Santos at Vox.
