'The Crown' Concludes Amid Controversy and Praise

The final season of the Netflix series focuses on Prince William and Kate Middleton's relationship and Queen Elizabeth II's life, sparking debates over its mix of fact and fiction.

The final season of 'The Crown' on Netflix has concluded, with much of the focus on Prince William and his relationship with Kate Middleton, as well as Queen Elizabeth II's life and family.
The series has been criticized for its portrayal of Kate Middleton's mother, Carole Middleton, as a masterful manipulator who allegedly engineered opportunities for Kate and William to meet and become more than friends.
The show also depicted Prince Philip in a more benevolent light in the final episodes, contrasting with his real-life reputation as a fearsomely irascible curmudgeon.
Despite the controversies, the series has been praised for bringing the royal family to life in a way it never has before, and for its touching tribute to Queen Elizabeth II in the final episode.
The series has been a mix of fact and fiction, with some experts arguing that it gets a lot right about the royal family, while others criticize it for inventing scenes, dialogues, situations, and events that never took place.
