Showrunner Peter Morgan says The Crown will address Queen Elizabeth's death.
After six seasons, The Crown is coming to an end while the Netflix series will conclude its timeline around 2005, it turns out that the real-life death of Queen Elizabeth II in 2022 impacted the series' end. Series creator Peter Morgan told Variety that the Queen's death was something that he had to address in the finale — though he didn't explain quite how the series would accomplish that.
Morgan also explained that he did at one point consider making the Queen's death the end of the series but decided to conclude the series in 2005 to keep things"historical". Did The Queen Watch The Crown?Last year, Matt Smith, who played Prince Philip during The Crown's first two seasons, was interviewed by Today and revealed he believes Queen Elizabeth watched The Crown before her death.
Smith also had a fun interaction with Prince Harry when playing Prince Philip."He walked up to me, and he went, 'Grandad,'" Smith shared."He'd watched the show!" Smith said he"can't claim to know if he watches it currently," but Prince Harry had"watched a bit of it then." In 2019, the third season of The Crown jumped ahead in time, and Smith was replaced by Game of Thrones alum Tobias Menzies.
