THE CROWN

As a freshly divorced Diana, Princess of Wales embarks on a dizzying summer of travel, charity campaign work and an intriguing new relationship, her life coincides with an emboldened paparazzi culture.
 
When a fateful car journey in Paris has devastating consequences, the tragic news of Diana’s death, alongside Dodi Fayed, sends shockwaves across the world and sparks another seismic threat to the stability and popularity of the monarchy.
 
Meanwhile, Prime Minister, Tony Blair, rides a wave of popular opinion and Mohamed Al Fayed pursues his own police inquiry to prove the Royal family conspired to kill Dodi and Princess Diana.
 
Prince William’s role as the future Monarch comes under the spotlight as he starts at university in St Andrew’s, determined to lead as normal a life as possible while he still can.
 
Further tragedy awaits The Queen as her closest confidants - Lord Porchester, Princess Margaret and the Queen Mother - pass away within a few months of each other in the run-up to her 2002 Golden Jubilee. The landmark occasion reminds the nation of the Queen’s constancy through all the trauma she has suffered in the last decade, delivering a renewed sense of appreciation for the Monarch. With stability restored, a new modern succession is ignited with the formal union of Charles and Camilla and the beginnings of a new Royal fairytale in William and Kate.
