Netflix series The Crown marks 10 years since premiere

The Netflix historical drama The Crown celebrates its tenth anniversary since its 2016 debut. Created by Peter Morgan, the series features six seasons and a significant budget of approximately 118 million euros, making it one of the platform's most expensive productions.

The show depicts various generations of the British monarchy, tracing the reign of Queen Elizabeth II from 1947 through the early 2000s. Key historical figures portrayed include Prince Philip, Princess Diana, and King Charles III. The series utilized a rotating cast every two seasons to reflect the aging of the characters over time.

While the production received critical acclaim, it faced mixed reactions from members of the Royal Family. Reports indicate that Prince Philip expressed a lack of interest in the show, while other members, such as Meghan Markle, have acknowledged watching portions of the series.
