Different from the TV documentary, the valuable historical event of "The Crown" is that the audience will be familiar with the drama. It came out.
so much so that many viewers joked. After watching this play, they learned English and history. The historical events covered by the first season of

Elizabeth and Prince Philip marriage, the death of George VI, the London smog incident, Churchill’s retirement, etc. The second season of
tells about the Suez Canal crisis, the Punosmo incident, the birth of Prince Edward and other events. The first two seasons of
focused on the queen in the early reign. They talked about British political history, and also pulled out the "unspeakable" gossip of the British royal family.
Churchill resigned and left Downing Street
The third season, the queen has entered middle age, the actor has been replaced by Oscar actress Olivia Coleman (representative: "The Beloved") .
The old drama is really extraordinary, and it took the third season to another level.

What is a foreign attack?
The struggle between Queen and Thatcher, and the political dispute between Britain and the Irish Republican Army.
The meeting between Queen and Thatcher
Compared with the previous three seasons, the content of this season is more full and the protagonist’s perspective is also richer. If
used to be from the point (queen) to the face (royal family, government, international relations) , then this season is comprehensive.
Elizabeth II, Margaret Thatcher, Princess Diana, these three female characters appearing on the poster form an iron triangle.
They are the most representative and influential figures in Britain in the 1980s. The lens of
was aimed at them, and through their stories, the British in the 1980s were peeled away. The
series is like a dish. Such enrichment makes the series more delicious, and the audience can taste different tastes from it. Cousin
also counted the highlights of this season for everyone.
>>>>Thatcher VS Queen VS Diana
Thatcher.
Britain’s first female prime minister, she was given the nickname "Iron Lady" and her political methods were tough.
In 1979, Thatcher won the election and became prime minister. The queen invited Thatcher to the royal estate for a dinner.
But this is actually a feast.
Queen wants to use the name of the dinner to test whether the members of the royal family can accept the "first female prime minister." The test result of
is not ideal, Thatcher messed up.
first made a mistake about the opening time of the dinner, and came to the queen during the afternoon tea time and asked when it would start.
everyone looked at each other and the scene fell into embarrassment.
was again in the hunting activities the next day, wearing a blue suit and stepping on high heels.
is in sharp contrast with the royal family members who are ready to go.
She looks like a foreigner, so out of place, she is not what the royal family expected.
And this contradiction happens to reflect the contrast between Thatcher and the Queen.
Thatcher is meticulous in her work. She devotes all her time to political work.
Her political position is different from ordinary politicians. She pursues innovation and radicalism, advocates cabinet reorganization, and introduces new people to replace those stubborn old politicians.
Royal family members prefer a slow-paced life, such as setting aside a certain period of time for afternoon tea and playing games after the dinner.
Queen and Thatcher, although both are considered for the country, but one is to rely on inaction to preserve the system, the other is to rely on practical actions to fight for the future.
is polite on the face, but in fact it is surging, and this kind of secret fight runs through the whole play.
Speaking of Princess Diana, the cousin first thought of that sensational wedding of the century.
is the controversial car accident in the 1990s.
The royal test mentioned in the previous article, Diana also "tested".
Royal Dinner
If Thatcher failed the exam, then Diana got nearly full marks.
first at the family dinner, she used funny words to win the hearts of the royal family members.
then judged the direction of the wind to help Prince Philip successfully hunt the male deer. Prince
praised the little girl in front of the royal family.
The royal family has also spotted it. This is the princess they want, not the married woman Camilla (at the end of the third season, it is mentioned that the royal family opposes the relationship between Charles and Camilla) .
Same test, different results, but these two people helped Britain and the royal family to the same extent.
Under the influence of Thatcherism, the political economy of Britain in the 1980s has undergone tremendous changes.
She abandoned the original "consensus policy", reduced the power of trade unions and local autonomy, and tended to build a strong central government. At the same time,
controls monetary policy and supports the strengthening of inflation control. On the royal side of
, the halo has gradually dimmed, which cannot be compared with the previous year.
The public lacks confidence in the royal family, and public complaints abound. The appearance of Diana
undoubtedly revitalized the status of the royal family in the hearts of the masses.
She is keen on philanthropy and actively creates a positive image of the royal family. She is dignified and courteous when participating in international visits, which can cause a sensation among the local people every time.
visited the United States once and she hugged a child with AIDS.
This warm hug also made the world see her kindness, applauded for her.
Americans even shouted: "You British do not want the princess, give it to us!"
British Prime Minister Blair once called Diana the "Princess of the People", which shows her high historical status.
is precisely because of her high profile, it also brings out one of the scandals that the British royal family least want to be known about-
Prince Charles and Princess Diana, the love story from bright to difficult.
This is also one of the highlights of this season's "The Crown".
>>>> Fairytale marriage shattered into slag
Charles fell in love with Diana at first sight, fell in love at second sight, and at third saw that this was the princess he was going to marry.
In 1981, the two held the "Wedding of the Century" in St. Paul's Cathedral.
A total of 2,650 guests were invited, and a total of 1 billion people watched the live TV, which made a global sensation. The
series also highly restored this historic royal wedding.
The dress worn by Diana in the drama is almost the same as the dress of the year
Charles gave Diana a fairy-tale start, while Diana thought she was married to love and romance.
But this fairy tale soon shattered into piercing glass.
After marriage, life is not as beautiful and pure as Diana expected-royal disputes, husband's infidelity, and the pressing of paparazzi shots...
She is like a puppet, manipulated and lost Self-awareness.
She tried to proactively stabilize the marriage.
However, her behavior made Charles more and more aware that this marriage was not what she wanted, and Diana was not her true goddess.
At Charles's birthday party, Diana took the stage to dance, and the audience clapped and applauded, but Charles was embarrassed.
and the two went to Australia for state visits. Charles frequently angered Diana and repeatedly blamed her for not knowing the general situation. Why is
like this? The reason for
is simple: he feels he has become a foil.
Charles believes that the focus should be on himself, not his wife.
It feels uncomfortable to be taken away from attention. He is the prince, the heir to the throne, not the green leaves around the princess.
But the fact is that the Australian people are crowded with Diana, the media wrote a press release to praise the British princess, everyone loves her.
He realized that Diana was too bright.
Another reason for the broken marriage is the derailment of the two.
Charles has been unable to put down Camilla, he secretly met his lover again and again, pours bitterness on the lover, and blames Diana for everything.
Diana, who was put into the "cold palace", was not idle either. There were two lovers beside her. When Charles left the palace, he would enter through the back door and sleep with her.
sounds outrageous, but no one in the royal family knows this kind of derailment, even the queen keeps one eye open.
Charles and Camilla have an affair
Charles proposed to divorce Diana, but was rejected by the Queen because he wanted to save the face of the royal family.
Camilla is a married woman, even if Charles never forgets her, he cannot let a married person into the royal family.
Diana suffers from the harassment of British paparazzi, and rumors of discord between her and the royal family are frequently exposed. She is suffering from emotional illness.
Contradictions, entanglements, betrayal, tearing...
fairy tales have become a place, and the formerly bright love vows have also become a face-saving effort.
Of course, as a drama that dares to shoot royal themes, there are many stories worthy of everyone’s attention this season.
For example, the power of Princess Margaret has been weakened, the queen's doting on Andrew and Prince Edward, the intrusion of Buckingham Palace...
>>>>Good drama is worthy of scrutiny
"The Crown" every season is more than 9.2 points, each season All worthy of such a high score.
does not over-beautify historical figures, but restores the figures in a neutral way on the basis of respecting history.
digs deep in the level of human nature, not to lift her up to the altar, but to help her remove her aura and make historical figures more grounded. On the
costume styling, the production team also tried their best to reproduce it, trying to give the audience the best visual perception and let the audience feel the breath of history through the drama.
Queen's modeling
Thatcher's modeling
Prince Charles's modeling
Elizabeth II is also a well-deserved heroine of the growth of the Queen of England as the drama of her growth.
The audience saw the diversity of the royal family from her, not just the glamorous side.
The royal family also has scandals and gossip. Fighting for power is the norm, and Buckingham Palace is not airtight.
The audience opened the episode with the mentality of eating melons, and was attracted by the wonderful stories. After watching it, they would want to learn more about history. The cousin
is like this. Every time she finishes watching an episode, she searches for relevant information, expands her knowledge, and compares the series and history.

This drama does have its shortcomings, as well as the dramatic design of the characters for the service of the drama.
, but after it can be broadcast, it is not easy to win the love and praise of the audience, and to win good ratings and high reputation.
The British "Guardian" once included "The Crown" at 44th on the list of the 100 greatest TV series of the 21st century, affirming the historical status of this drama.
You must know that even the current British royal family members are chasing dramas, which shows how popular it is.

If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight. What kind of crisis will the queen face?
Can the internal and external troubles of the royal family be obtained?To deal with it properly? Cousin
makes an advance guess based on the information that has been disclosed by foreign media.
In the next season, the screen goddess Elizabeth Debicci will play the role of the princess, and the Paris death car accident will be put on the screen.

"Umbridge" Ameda Staunton will take over as the Queen, and "Huge Sparrow" Jonathan Price as Prince Philip.
Leslie Manville (Representative: "Famous Shu") starred in Princess Margaret.
Audiences will see the impact of Princess Margaret’s death on the queen and the royal family, and the sisterhood between the two will be magnified again in later episodes.
