The British royal family has always been the most discussed topic in the media, followed by millions of people around the world for decades. The streaming platform for films and TV series “Netflix” has received a series about the British royal house.
The final episodes of the sixth season of the series “The Crown” can be watched on the “Netflix” channel from December 14. Judging by the posters and the trailer, we will see the love story of Prince William and Kate Middleton in the series, which will be played by actors Ed McVay and Meg Bellamy. But fans are frustrated as they want to see Prince Harry and Meghan Markle in the series. The last episodes of the series reflect the events that took place from 1997 to 2005. In particular, these episodes will cover events such as the death of Princess Diana, the beginning of Prince William and Kate Middleton’s romance, Tony Blair’s rise to power and the wedding of Prince Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles. The authors of the series “Kronis” decided not to show the last years of the queen’s life, ending the story on a positive note. In the final, we will see the wedding of King Charles III and Queen Consort Camilla Parker Bowles. The series shows not only the brightest political events, but also fascinating moments from the Queen’s personal life, her relationship with her family, friends and advisers. Political crises, personal tragedies, joys and losses – all this is shown in the series with maximum accuracy and brightness.
Crown and Queen
Since 2015, the series “Kronis” has been one of the most watched “Netflix” series. Despite the criticism of royal circles and politicians, the series has achieved high ratings on the global rating platforms «IMDb» and «Rotten Tomatoes». Each season of the series is devoted to approximately seven to eight years of the reign of Queen Elizabeth II. The series tells about the British Queen Elizabeth II, whose reign is the longest in world history. She remained on the throne for 70 years, becoming the longest-lived monarch. The Queen herself had a reticent attitude towards the series, the first season of the series did not attract her attention, but thanks to Prince Edward of Wessex and his wife Sophia, she finally watched it. It is known that the prince and his wife specially came to Windsor to watch the series with the queen in an informal atmosphere. Elizabeth II appreciated the work, but noted that she found some moments too dramatic. According to people close to the royal house, after the second season of the series, the queen has stopped watching the series “Kronis”. She never officially commented or expressed an opinion about the series. The rest of the royal family divided into two camps, some watched the series with interest, while others sharply criticized it. One of the most negative opinions about the series belongs to King Charles III of England, who was married to Princess Diana. The public does not accept the king very well both in real life and in the series, so Charles III periodically expresses his dissatisfaction from the moment his character appears in the series and demands that there be a disclaimer at the beginning of each episode explaining that the series is not a documentary, but a feature film.
The most expensive series
The creators of the “Kronis” series tried to reflect all interior details, costumes and the spirit of the era as accurately as possible. Therefore, a generous budget was allocated for it. Each episode of the first two seasons cost between $6.5 and $13 million to film, bringing the total cost of the first and second seasons to $130 million. When creating the costumes for the series, costume designer Michelle Clapton’s team tried to create as accurate a royal outfit as possible. One of the most complex and time-consuming outfits was Queen Elizabeth II’s wedding dress, which took several weeks to make and cost $38,000 to copy. Princess Diana’s wedding dress in the film is authentic to the original, designed by costume designer Amy Roberts. The dress took four months and five fittings to make. The dress used 95 meters of fabric and 100 meters of lace, 10,000 pearls, a diamond-studded belt and a 30-meter-long train. Actress Emma Corinne spent less than a minute in this Princess Diana outfit. The series costumes will be auctioned online on February 7, 2024 at Bonhams in London, while the in-person auction is scheduled for January 30 to February 8.
