According to the Sunday Times, the outlet has seen all ten episodes of the upcoming season of the series and claims to be the first publication to do so and as with the previous series it makes for uncomfortable viewing for the Palace. Apparently starting from portraying the dismantling of Princess Diana's, and then Prince and now soon-to-be King Charles' marriage, Prince Philip's new friend aka Penelope Knatchbull, Countess Mountbatten of Burma. It also has low-key questions if the late Queen was a bad mother.

A fan tweeted, "Can't wait to watch this! #TheCrown," while another claims, "Looking forward to it. The Crown isn't a documentary, but it isn't just a fictional tale with non-fictional characters either.
