"The Crown" Bids Adieu, but Not Forever!
Embrace Nobility, Netflix-Style!
The final episode of Netflix's celebrated series, "The Crown," titled "Wellington," is now upon us. Six captivating episodes will be accessible from December 14, with a standalone movie, "Sleep, Love, Sleep," available for viewing without any prior knowledge of the series.
What's on the Agenda?
In this finale, the nuptials of Charles and Camilla in April 2005 are showcased, with the Queen's anguish as love and duty clash. A central figure in the episode is the much-troubled Prince Harry, played by Luther Ford. The young prince grapples with the devastating loss of his mother, Diana, in 1997 and the challenges of fulfilling his second-born prince role.
Striking a chord with history, Princess Margaret (deceased at 71) struggles in the position of being in her sister's shadow, the Queen. Her means of coping with the burden – lavish parties and entertainment for high-profile guests such as Mick Jagger and Peter Sellers – are depicted in the episode.
The "Crown's" Incredible Legacy
Over its seven-year run, "The Crown" was distinguished by its 341 award nominations, with more than 150 wins; a staggering 40,000 supporting actors and 2,500 film crew members collaborating on the project.
The stars aligned at a gala screening of the final episode in London, with an orchestra of 72 musicians and a lively, reverent, and wistful atmosphere. As this elaborate Netflix production draws to a close, the hope lingers that "The Crown" creator, Peter Morgan, might return to the series in the future, as the story of the royals continues to unfold.
Meghan and Harry: Potential Continuation?
