Elizabeth is fascinated by the evangelist and invites him to Buckingham Palace to preach, and have tea with her. In the episode, which takes place in 1958, Christian evangelist Billy Graham is holding crusades in Great Britain. Episode 6 of Season 2, titled “Vergangenheit” is about Queen Elizabeth finding out that her exiled uncle, Edward, Duke of Windsor had a relationship with Nazi High Command in Germany before World War II and sympathized with aspects of Hitler’s regime.

In addition to this, the series has been somewhat wholesome ( read a more detailed description of Season 1 here), that is until episode 7 of Season 2, titled “Matrimonium”.īefore we get to that episode, it should be noted that the most positive and Christian episode of the series takes place right before the most graphic and explicit. It’s hard not to get drawn into the royal world, and the incredible sets, costumes, and nuanced performances, especially from Claire Foy as Queen Elizabeth is breathtaking and engrossing. The TV series obviously takes some creative liberties and makes many assumptions as to what happens behind closed doors, but there’s a clear respect for the Crown from the writers, and an attempt to depict events as they happened. It’s a superbly written dramatic series about Queen Elizabeth II that covers the day she married Prince Phillip, to her coronation as the Queen of the United Kingdom and the family drama that takes place within the royal family. My wife and I, like many people, really enjoy the Netflix series THE CROWN.
