Queen Elizabeth II: Lovely.
Prince William: It's better than the beer cans Harold wanted to tie to the bumper.
Queen Elizabeth II: [chuckles] Be kind to him. In many ways, it's harder being number two than number one. The system protects number one. Number two tends to...

For one thing, I believe they could have kept the series and given more time to the new actors. The end was peaceful, but for me, it only made it harder to accept that it was done.
I'm for real when I tell you that I would like to wake up and find out it will go on, at least with one season, or a movie that would continue the story just a little.
The Crown is not a person, it transcends humanity, the material life. In my view, the show has a beautiful future ahead, if only it sees it that way. I trust the story will get more content in the future. I vow that I will rewatch it, as for me it brings memories from the years that have passed since season 1, especially the pandemic and all that went on afterward, leading to the end of 2023. I did not expect it to leave such a mark on me, maybe because I was a fan of it, of the whole show, and of the magnificent cast, to whom I wish good luck in their future projects.
I want to say that Peter Morgan has my respect for life for how the series went on. I am a Crown fan to the end. Great show, a great time, and an experience I will surely look back to.
*I was not joking around when I said there is content for at least one more season 😊
