Principally created by Peter Morgan, 'The Crown' had been both, lauded and criticized for its portrayal of historical events. While Seasons 1 and 2 revolved around the initial phase of her life as a monarch, from her marriage to Prince Phillip to the crisis of the Suez Canal and the birth of Prince Edward, Seasons 3 and 4 spanned the events of 1964 to 1977, concluding with the monarch's battles with the then-Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher as well as the introduction of Camilla Shand and ended with the wedding between Diana, Princess of Wales and Prince Charles.
