The Crown (TV series)

Edit

The Crown is a historical drama web television series about the reign of Queen Elizabeth II, created and principally written by Peter Morgan, and produced by Left Bank Pictures and Sony Pictures Television for Netflix. It grew out of Morgan's film The Queen (2006) and his stage play The Audience (2013), and is credited as based on the latter. The first season covers the period from Elizabeth and Philip, Duke of Edinburgh's marriage in 1947 to the disintegration of her sister Princess Margaret's engagement to Group Captain Peter Townsend in 1955. The second season covers the period from the Suez Crisis in 1956 to the retirement of Prime Minister Harold Macmillan in 1963 and the birth of Prince Edward in 1964. The third season spans the period between 1964 and 1977, including Harold Wilson's two periods as prime minister, and introduces Camilla Shand. The fourth will include Margaret Thatcher's premiership and introduce Lady Diana Spencer. The fifth and sixth seasons, which will close the series, will cover the Queen's reign into the 21st century.

New actors are being cast every two seasons. Claire Foy portrays the Queen in the first two seasons, alongside Matt Smith as Prince Philip and Vanessa Kirby as Princess Margaret. For the third and fourth seasons, Olivia Colman takes over as the Queen, Tobias Menzies as Prince Philip, and Helena Bonham Carter as Princess Margaret. Imelda Staunton, Jonathan Pryce, and Lesley Manville will succeed Colman, Menzies, and Bonham Carter, respectively, for the final two seasons. Filming for the series takes place at Elstree Studios in Borehamwood, Hertfordshire, with location shooting throughout the United Kingdom and internationally. The first season was released on Netflix on November 4, 2016, the second on December 8, 2017, and the third on November 17, 2019. The fourth season is set to be released on November 15, 2020, with a fifth coming sometime in 2022.

The Crown was praised for its writing, acting, directing, cinematography, production values, and relatively accurate historical account of Queen Elizabeth's reign. It received accolades at the 23rd Screen Actors Guild Awards, won Best Actress for Foy in the lead role and Best Actor for John Lithgow as Winston Churchill, and has secured a total of 39 nominations for its first three seasons at the Primetime Emmy Awards, including three for Outstanding Drama Series.[4] The series was nominated for Best Drama TV Series at the 77th Golden Globe Awards.[5]

Production[]

Development[]

In November 2014, it was announced that Netflix was to adapt the 2013 stage play The Audience into a television series.[31] Peter Morgan, who wrote the 2006 film The Queen and the play, is the main scriptwriter for The Crown.[32] The directors of the television series who were also involved in the stage production are Stephen Daldry, Philip Martin, Julian Jarrold, and Benjamin Caron.[33] The first ten-part season was the most expensive drama produced by Netflix and Left Bank Pictures to date, costing at least £100 million.[34][35][36] A second season was commissioned,[37][38] with the series intended to span sixty episodes over six seasons.[6] By October 2017, "early production" had begun on an anticipated third and fourth season,[9] and by the following January, Netflix confirmed the series had been renewed for a third and fourth season.[18]

In January 2020, Morgan announced that the series had been renewed for a fifth and final season. Speaking to ending the series with five seasons, after it had been intended to last six, Morgan said while crafting the stories for season five, "it has become clear to me that this is the perfect time and place to stop"; Netflix and Sony supported Morgan's decision.[7] However, in July 2020, Netflix announced that the series would receive a sixth season as originally intended. Morgan said that when the storylines were being discussed for season five, "it soon became clear that in order to do justice to the richness and complexity of the story we should go back to the original plan and do six seasons". He added that the final two seasons would still cover up to the early 21st century, enabling them "to cover the same period in greater detail".[11]

Casting[]

By November 2014, Claire Foy had entered negotiations to portray Queen Elizabeth II.[8] By May 2015, Vanessa Kirby was in negotiations to portray Princess Margaret.[39] In June 2015, John Lithgow was cast as Winston Churchill, and Matt Smith was cast as Prince Philip; Foy was confirmed as Queen Elizabeth II.[40] Also starring in the first season were Victoria Hamilton, Jared Harris, and Eileen Atkins.[41]

The Left Bank producers noted that Smith was paid more than Foy in the first two seasons, partly because of his Doctor Who fame.[42] This led to discussion about the gender pay gap, including the creation of a petition asking Smith to donate the difference between his and Foy's salary to the Time's Up Legal Defense Fund.[43] Left Bank later apologised to Foy and Smith for putting them "at the center of a media storm... through no fault of their own". Left Bank also clarified that they "are responsible for budgets and salaries; the actors are not aware of who gets what, and cannot be held personally responsible for the pay of their colleagues". They added that they support "the drive for gender equality in film and TV and [were] eager to talk to the British Time’s Up campaign and [were] already speaking to Era 50:50, a group campaigning for gender equality on screen and stage".[44] Suzanne Mackie, Left Bank's creative director, did note that in future no actor would be paid more than the actress portraying the Queen.[42] Regarding the controversy, Foy was "not [surprised about the interest in the story] in the sense that it was a female-led drama. I'm not surprised that people saw [the story] and went, 'Oh, that's a bit odd'. But I know that Matt feels the same that I do, that it's odd to find yourself at the center [of a story] that you didn't particularly ask for."[45] Smith noted that he supported Foy and was "pleased that it was resolved and [the producers] made amends for it because that's what needed to happen". The Hollywood Reporter noted it was unclear what Smith was referring to as resolved, since Netflix and Left Bank had not commented further.[46] Foy later described reports that she had received backpay to bring her salary up to parity as "not quite correct".[47]

The producers recast the continuing roles with older actors every two seasons, as the timeline moves forward.[48] In October 2017, Olivia Colman was cast as Queen Elizabeth II for the third and fourth seasons.[9] By January 2018, Helena Bonham Carter and Paul Bettany were in negotiations to portray Princess Margaret and Prince Philip, respectively, for these seasons.[49][15] However, by the end of the month Bettany was forced to drop out due to the time commitment required.[50] By the end of March 2018, Tobias Menzies was cast as Prince Philip for the third and fourth seasons.[51] In early May 2018, Bonham Carter was confirmed to have been cast, alongside Jason Watkins as Prime Minister Harold Wilson.[26] The next month, Ben Daniels was cast as Antony Armstrong-Jones for the third season,[52] along with Erin Doherty joining the series as Princess Anne.[53] A month later, Josh O'Connor and Marion Bailey were cast as Prince Charles and the Queen Mother, respectively, for the third and fourth seasons.[54] In October 2018, Emerald Fennell was cast as Camilla Shand.[55] In December 2018, Charles Dance was cast as Louis Mountbatten.[56] In April 2019, Emma Corrin was cast as Lady Diana Spencer for the fourth season.[57] Gillian Anderson, who had been rumoured since January 2019 to be in talks to portray Margaret Thatcher in the fourth season, was officially confirmed for the role in September 2019.[58][59][60]

In January 2020, Imelda Staunton was announced as succeeding Colman as the Queen for the final fifth and sixth seasons.[7][11] In July 2020, Lesley Manville was announced as portraying Princess Margaret,[61][11] and the following month, Jonathan Pryce and Elizabeth Debicki had been cast as Prince Phillip and Diana, Princess of Wales, respectively.[62][63]

Filming[]

An estimated 25% of the first season was filmed at Elstree Studios in Borehamwood, Hertfordshire, with the remainder filmed on location, altogether taking 152 days. Sets for private quarters, the interior of a private jet, the cabinet room, and the exterior of 10 Downing Street, were built at Elstree Studios,[38][64] while Lancaster House, Wrotham Park and Wilton House were used to double as Buckingham Palace. Ely Cathedral and Winchester Cathedral stood in for Westminster Abbey, while locations in South Africa doubled as Kenya.[38] Additional locations in the UK included Waddesdon Manor, Eltham Palace, the Royal Naval College,[65] Goldsmiths' Hall, Shoreham Airport, New Slains Castle,[66] Balmoral Castle, Cruden Bay, Lyceum Theatre, Loseley Park, Hatfield House,[64] The Historic Dockyard Chatham,[67] Southwark Cathedral, Ardverikie House, Englefield House, Wellington College, the Great Central Railway (heritage railway) and the Glenfeshie Estate.[68] Filming on the second season began in early October 2016.[48] Each episode of the first two seasons would shoot for about 22 days, with each costing about Template:GBP (US$7 million) to produce.[42] The third season began filming in July 2018,[69] and concluded in February 2019. The fourth season began filming in August 2019 and wrapped in March 2020.[70][71] The fifth season is set to begin filming in June 2021, with season six filming in 2022. The year break in filming between the end of season four and the start of season five was built into the series's production schedule and was not related to the COVID-19 pandemic.[72]

The re-enactment of the removal of King George VI's cancerous lung, originally performed by Sir Clement Price Thomas, was researched and planned by Pankaj Chandak, specialist in transplant surgery at Guy's Hospital, London. Chandak and his surgical team then became part of the actual scene filmed for the show.[73] The surgical model of King George VI was donated to the Gordon Museum of Pathology for use as a teaching aid.[74]

Historical accuracy[]

The show has been commended for its depiction of events, although it has occasionally faced criticism for excessive dramatisation and for some events that bear no relation to the historical evidence.[75] Peggy Noonan of The Wall Street Journal commented on the historical inaccuracy of the series, and argued for "more truth in art and entertainment".[76]

The series has portrayed characters who had died prior to the events depicted, notably Baron Nahum who continued to be featured in the second season, but in reality had died by then. Prince William of Gloucester is logically present in the first season, but by the third season's depiction of the Queen's Silver Jubilee he had died five years earlier.[77]

Season 1[]

In reality there was no dispute over Michael Adeane being the natural successor to Tommy Lascelles as private secretary. Martin Charteris accordingly took the role in 1972.[77][78]

Churchill's wife Clementine is depicted overseeing the burning of his portrait by Graham Sutherland shortly after his retirement. In reality it was destroyed by their private secretary Grace Hamblin's brother without her involvement.[77][79]

Royal historian Hugo Vickers denied that Princess Margaret had acted as monarch whilst Queen Elizabeth was away on tour, and claimed that her speech at the ambassador's reception never happened. Martin Charteris was on tour with Queen Elizabeth and not in London during these events. The Queen Mother bought the Castle of Mey a year earlier than shown and often looked after Charles and Anne whilst Queen Elizabeth was away.[77][80]

The show has been interpreted as perpetuating the idea that the Queen and Churchill forced Princess Margaret to give up her plan to marry Group Captain Peter Townsend. In the series, the Queen tells her sister that, if she marries Townsend, she would no longer be a member of the family because of the Royal Marriages Act 1772. However, there is clear evidence that, in reality, efforts had been made to prevent any further delay of the marriage, which would have allowed Princess Margaret to keep her royal title and her civil list allowance, stay in the country, and continue with her public duties.[81]

Season 2[]

There is no evidence to suggest that Queen Elizabeth gave a speech at the Jaguar Cars factory, nor would she have met Lord Altrincham to discuss his article.[77][82]

Vickers wrote that Queen Elizabeth did condemn the Duke of Windsor after she read the Marburg Files, but claimed that the series gave a false implication that the Duke was banished from the royal family upon publication. He remained in contact with his family, and his public appearances continued.[83]

The depiction of the relationship with Jackie Kennedy has drawn criticism. Reports indicate that she had described Prince Philip as "nice but nervous" and overall there was no bond between them.[84] The implication that Queen Elizabeth visited Ghana to compete with Jackie Kennedy's popularity was ridiculed by critics.[85] Reviews of the episode noted that it ignored more significant events of the visit, such as Kennedy's sister-in-law Lee and her husband Prince Stanisław Albrecht Radziwiłł's initial exclusion from the banquet invitation list given both were divorcees. Both were eventually invited,[86] though Princess Margaret and Princess Marina did not attend, despite the Kennedys apparently wanting to meet them.[87]

Gordonstoun School responded to its negative portrayal, claiming that Prince Charles's personal feedback to the school had been overwhelmingly positive.[88] Royal historian Hugo Vickers said that the same episode inaccurately depicted Philip's sister's death in a plane crash as having arisen from his own misbehaviour at Gordonstoun: "It is beyond me how serious film-makers would wish to turn such a dreadful tragedy into a series of invented scenes bearing no relation to the truth."[88]

Phil Owen of The Wrap saw dry comedy in Northam's portrayal of Prime Minister Anthony Eden, stating: "I'm assuming that creator Peter Morgan meant for it to be comedy. There's really no other explanation for why Jeremy Northam played Prime Minister Anthony Eden like he's having a nervous breakdown in every scene."[89]

Season 3[]

Queen Elizabeth did not visit Winston Churchill following his final stroke. Vickers claims that by then Churchill was senile and incapable of holding a conversation.[90]

Sir Anthony Blunt's exposure as a Soviet spy has drawn criticism. Vickers noted that the episode did not mention that he was publicly exposed in 1979 and stripped of his knighthood, whilst also noting that he never resided at Buckingham Palace and ridiculing a scene in which he discusses his exposure with Prince Philip in an attempt to blackmail the royal family.[77][91]

The depiction of the relationship with President Johnson has been criticised. It has been suggested that he did not refuse to attend Churchill's funeral, in response to Harold Wilson's refusal to support the Vietnam War, and that the president was genuinely unable to attend due to poor health. His disappointment with Wilson's views on Vietnam had developed much later.[77][92] Historians also denied the episode's implication that no US president had ever been to Balmoral. Dwight D. Eisenhower had visited Balmoral whilst president in 1959.[93] Critics noted that the episode did not mention that Johnson is the only president since Harry S. Truman never to have met the monarch.[77][94] The implication that Johnson did not know who Princess Margaret was before her November 1965 visit to America was also criticised.[77] Princess Margaret was at a White House dinner during that visit, but the details are mostly fictional (such as her carousing with President Johnson and kissing him, dirty limericks, and helping secure a US bailout, which was in fact negotiated earlier, in September 1965).[95][96]

The relationship with Princess Alice has also drawn criticism for Philip's depiction as being estranged from his mother and objecting to her visiting London. In fact he visited her regularly and often transported her by plane, and her depicted interview with a journalist from The Guardian never happened. Vickers also stated that the same episode ignored that Philip encouraged her to move to London permanently.[90]

Prince Charles did visit the Duke of Windsor in Paris in 1972,[97] however the depiction of letters concerning his affections for Camilla Shand was criticised; Charles and Camilla had met but were not intimately close during the Duke's lifetime.[75][90] Queen Elizabeth did visit the Duke ten days before his death, but this had been long-planned and not requested at short notice.[90] Wallis Simpson was not by the Duke's side at the time of his death.[77][98]

The timeframe of Robin Woods's posting as Dean of Windsor around the time of the Apollo 11 spaceflight and lunar landing in July 1969 is inaccurate. He took the role in 1962.[99][100]

It has been suggested that there wasn't any plot by the palace to prevent Charles and Camilla's marriage, with Camilla's love for Andrew Parker Bowles being genuine and Charles unable to decide.[77][101] It has also been suggested that Princess Anne's relations with Andrew Parker Bowles did not overlap with Charles and Camilla's introduction. Reviews of the episode noted that it ignored more significant events, citing Anne's 1973 wedding to Captain Mark Phillips and her attempted kidnapping in 1974.[75]
