The Crown, Netflix’s astonishing, epic chronicle of the British royal family, returns to our screens for a sixth and concluding series on Nov. 16.
Despite the fact that only a tiny contingent of insiders have as yet seen the final series, this hasn’t stopped a steady stream of leaks and speculation about the content of the new series coming into the public domain. The most shocking and sensational storylines are expected to relate to the death of Princess Diana, whose tragic death forms the emotional and narrative fulcrum of series six.
The ways that Peter Morgan, the show’s creator and chief writer, has chosen to narrate this remarkable slice of British history have been the subject of huge criticism, before so much as a single second has aired.
