The fourth season spans 1979 to 1990 and includes Margaret Thatcher's tenure as prime minister and Prince Charles' marriage to Lady Diana Spencer. The third season spans 1964 to 1977, includes Harold Wilson's two periods as prime minister, and introduces Camilla Shand. 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 first season covers the period from Elizabeth's marriage to Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, in 1947 to the disintegration of her sister Princess Margaret's engagement to Group Captain Peter Townsend in 1955. Morgan developed it from his drama film The Queen (2006) and especially his stage play The Audience (2013).

(Or for a day or two, anyway.The Crown is a historical drama 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. I will say this, and only this If I don’t get to see Di step out in the revenge dress, I will boycott Netflix forever. This season is miles beyond the preceding three, but I can’t say I’m not disappointed at the lack of even-stifled passion! Maybe there’s hope, though-Season 5 will focus on Diana post-divorce, so maybe we’ll get some fun affair scenes. It’s the polar opposite of Normal People.ĮS: As someone who had to watch every episode of the last season of The Crown for work, I wholeheartedly agree. How was The Crown to know it would drop during a global pandemic, when people are craving human connection more than ever but, overall, its parochial treatment of sex has left me a bit cold. O’Connor looked too good in head-to-toe khaki.
At the very least, some tender kissing during that magic-hour Australian light would have been welcome. That said, after waiting years for the “Diana season,” I also absolutely crave Charles and Diana sex, in all of its possibly fumbling, awkward glory. Also, they’re constantly on the phone-yet another missed opportunity.

I had the pleasure of interviewing her last year about her humanizing depiction of Camilla as a “chain-smoking serial snogger.” Given that Joyce-ian, almost annoyingly obsessive love between Camilla and Charles, and the fact that they are the couple most likely to have good sex on the show, I would have been into some of that snogging. MR: Unpopular, potentially controversial opinion: This is the first season of The Crown I’ve really cared about, although I did tune in to last season’s Charles/Camilla storyline and found Emerald Fennell to be divine. Now, Michelle, we get down to the vital question: Who on this season of The Crown would you most want to see in a sex scene? (Or a kissing scene, even?) The demure British sensibility of “close your eyes and think of England” might also be at play here. Given that context, I agree with you that the show is trying not to piss off the royal family any more than it already has. If anyone could have delivered a memorable sex scene-or even a kissing scene-surely it would have been Helena Bonham Carter? The lack of sex feels very intentional-do you think it’s about deference to the real-life royals and their privacy, even though the show takes plenty of liberties otherwise?ĮS: Our extremely royal-savvy colleague Elise Taylor reminded me that there was a Princess Margaret/Antony Armstrong Jones sex scene in Season 2 that got cut, allegedly because the show’s producers decided that people don’t–in star Vanessa Kirby’s words-“want to see royal boob.” Not to out myself as a total creep, but.cannot relate! To be fair, I have been in love with Helena Bonham Carter for 22 of the 27 years I’ve been on this planet, so I’m not an objective sampling of the population, but it seems pretty natural that a woman as convivial and (relatively) liberated as Bonham Carter’s Margaret would engage in sexual activity from time to time. There’s this really fun scene where they clink drinks and dance to Bowie…but there is no touching beyond a chaste couch-snuggle.
You mentioned Princess Margaret earlier, who has an affair with Derek “Dazzle” Jennings. Ideal moment to retreat to the Queen’s grand bedchambers, or maybe Philip’s? How, in fact, do these upper-crust couples who sleep apart engage in the act? I guess we’ll never know. It was very endearing when Phil told the Queen he felt terrible that he wasn’t sleeping beside her when Fagan broke in. I very much noticed that moment and hoped for a little sovereign sex, only to be denied again.
