Plot, look and episodes

There is a lot to comment on the ten episodes, starting from the look to the same texture which has certainly offered interesting spaces starting with the social rise of Mohamed Al-Fayed, Dodi’s father, Lady Diana’s last, unfortunate flirt. While, on the other hand, episodes such as Ipatiev House on the murder of the Romanovs killed in the night between 16 and 17 July 1918. As the last Tsar Nicholas II is known, his wife Alexandra and their five children were executed in Ekaterinburg by the Bolsheviks who thus put an end to the 300 years of the dynasty at the head of the Russian Empire.
While being able to act, the Windsors did not rush to their aid to avoid riots in the United Kingdom. To ponder and taste the alleged flirtation between Prince Philip and the young Penny Knatchbull, deemed mistress of the Duke of Edinburgh.
Between fairytale and reality, the new series of The Crown also tells the incredible and ominous interview on Bbc by Martin Bashir to Princess Diana. As you know, the television broadcaster she apologized twenty years later for that 1995 interview with Lady Diana by paying compensation to the family. Bashir, relying on Lady D’s paranoia, made her believe she was being threatened by wiretapping her phone and her mail. Diana said the famous phrase of the “marriage of three” with Carlo and Camilla.
