The last episode of season 6 of The Crown set the end of this TV series. With Camilla marrying Charles eventually, there is nothing more the royal fans would love to see earnestly except the marriage story of Kate and William. However, it is just a fraction of a story that can attract viewers to follow the whole season. Anything else? How about the infamous adventure of Harry and Meghan? A strong no from many viewers, thank you.
I can relate to how the writer feels about season 7. After all, he spent 10 years writing this Netflix series. It achieves what he intended to achieve – to depict a remarkable, historical story of great interest in the most entertaining way, and help Netflix to establish a solid reputation for its series.
I love the scripts that sound natural and smart enough to make me smile, cry, and try to look into the historical facts more. A fascinating royal life is portrayed right in front of us vividly, and the acting looks so real. What’s more I’m looking for. Maybe a change in Diana’s tragic story. Can she be the Queen in a TV series, instead of dying with a weird, unattractive man?
Sadly, all the incredible things have to come to an end at some point. I truly respect the decision that no more season 7 is planned. Despite the Crown is fiction, it somehow touches on many historical facts and historical figures in the past 60 years. It reveals the strong emotions the Queen, Diana, Charles, William, and Philip experienced in many events over the years. They have feelings like ordinary people. They look for allies and support from siblings and the other half. Some are more successful than others.
The writer Peter Morgan expressed that he wanted to remain a careful distance from the present and keep the series historical, not journalistic. There are enough writings of royal stories. There is no doubt he is an expert in the area. I feel relieved that the series ends with a happy ending. Our spirits need a boost and the royal family seems to bring hope and joy to the Brits.
