The Crown wastes no time communicating the change in its main cast. Presented with a new postage stamp that bears her profile—shown, presumably for our benefit, alongside the old one—Queen Elizabeth II (Olivia Colman) observes resignedly that there have been "a great many changes" as the camera takes in her face for the first time. "But there we ar...
And now, the moment you've all been waiting for: That's right! It's a Margaret episode! We open in flashback, with Tommy Lascelles (Pip Torrens) telling a young Elizabeth that since it doesn't look like her parents will produce a son, she is heir apparent, and her life will soon change in preparation for her to one day assume the throne. That night...
It's hard to watch the first 10 minutes of "Aberfan," about the disastrous accident that occurred in the Welsh coal-mining town of the same name in October 1966. On a rainy afternoon, people greet each other on the street; a teacher reminds his students to rehearse "All Things Bright and Beautiful," which they'll be singing in a school assembly the...
In Athens in 1967, we meet an elderly Mother Superior nun working at a convent for which she is in desperate need of funds to keep afloat. On being told the Order must close, she takes a genuine Ceylon sapphire set in diamonds to a pawn shop and tells the pawnbroker to come up with an honest price and she'll consider selling it to him. Instead of d...
Oh no, chaps, the pound is in trouble! Indeed, the British trade gap is £107 million (whatever that means, it sounds bad). It's the worst figure on record! Or, so a news report tells us at the top of episode 5, but the government says the figure is distorted and meaningless. Although later, at the prime minister and the queen's weekly meeting, he d...
Let's meet Prince Charles, the future King of England, shall we? We start things off with Prince Charles (played by the excellent Josh O'Connor, who has the real deal's affected accent down to a T), happily studying at Cambridge and performing in Shakespeare plays with his fellow students. A content royal? One really must intervene. Yup, that's rig...
We're truly going above and beyond for episode 7: We're headed to the moon! The episode opens with Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins being interviewed in July 1969 ahead of their expedition to the moon. Prince Philip is enthralled watching it all on television. Something less appealing to him is church. When the family goes the next ...
It's 1970 in Paris and someone has a bad cough. That someone is none other than Duke of Windsor (played now by Derek Jacobi)—you'll remember him from the last couple of seasons, causing problems for the royal family and plotting with Hitler. His abdication is the reason Elizabeth wears the crown. The duke is diagnosed with untreatable throat cancer...
We're getting into the home stretch of The Crown season 3, and that means it's time to really get into the Charles-and-Camilla of it all. As we've already seen this season (and, you know, in real life) these two have a long, complicated history—one that gets only more fraught once Diana comes into the story—and now we're seeing how this early part ...
A cri de coeur—the title of this season's finale episode—is defined as "a passionate appeal, complaint, or protest." In the case of this Margaret-focused installment, it also means a Helena Bonham Carter FYC reel. She's been great all season, but this one really lets her shine. The episode is bookended by two visits Queen Elizabeth II makes to her ...

- "Olding" The Crown season 3's riveting premiere episode, "Olding", flips the timeline of real-life events.

- "Margaretology" In "Margaretology"'s glamorous escapade, Princess Margaret charmed U.S. President Lyndon B. Johnson (Clancy Brown) at the White House and secured a $100-million bailout for the United Kingdom - but it didn't quite happen that way.
- "Aberfan" The October 1966 tragedy at Aberfan was depicted with admirable verisimilitude by The Crown. The coal tip collapse that killed 28 adults and 116 children did happen and schoolteachers did try to shield their students from the landslide to no avail.
- "Bubbikins" The Crown season 3 introduced Princess Alice of Battenberg (Jane Lapotaire), the aged mother of Prince Philip, and the details offered about her remarkable and tragic life are accurate.
