The year 1952 ushered in a new era to the history of Great
Britain. The once mighty empire where the sun never set was on the verge of
decline and King George VI quietly passed away. The new sovereign, Queen
Elizabeth II, was in Kenya. The early years of the life of the young queen is
the center of the new Netflix biopic, The
Crown. It depicts how a 25-year-old newlywed faced the challenges that the most
famous monarchy had to surpass by building a relationship with the impregnable Prime
Minister, Sir Winston Churchill. The
series will eventually progress through the decades leading to the end of the 20th
century, showing us how the Queen’s quiet calm and tact enabled her to survive
the innumerable personal intrigues and political rivalries.
Helmed by Peter Morgan, the drama series takes pride of its “masterfully
researched scripts” showcasing the private life of the Queen as she carries on
her public duties with “daring frankness.” With the budget of $156,000, this series is so
far one of the most expensive of its kind.
