Review by connolel

Ritz

The Crown

10/10

Duty bound among family

I found this episode beautifully written and poignant. It portrayed the complex emotions and relationship between sisters and their love for each other.

I can see that one of the purposes of this series has been to show all the sides of the royal family, warts and all. One underlying theme is the royal family's sense of duty. With this duty there are many obstacles to their public and private lives. This episode digs deeper into Queen Elizabeth's personal relationship with her sister and their life together in the family.

At one moment Princess Margaret is looking for and asking Queen Elizabeth to not forget the side of her that allows herself to enjoy the freedom of simply feeling joy and being true to her own self. This lifelong struggle is evident as we see her begin to lose the small number of people with whom she could be herself and draw strength and comfort. Regardless, Queen Elizabeth perseveres and self reflects on changes she must make in herself and the families image and role in Great Britain.
