Now that ‘The Crown’ Season 4 is just around the corner and the drama has only gotten juicier, here’s looking at what happened in the old episodes of previous seasons.
‘The Crown’ is about the life of the real-life Queen Elizabeth II and the royal family from the often romanticised, often intriguing, and always fascinating Buckingham Palace.

What it does best is portray the inner turmoil and struggles of royalty even as they must put on a calm face for the public.
