The Crown S5 Explained, The Institution vs Its People | ROYALS

Season 5 of The Crown has faced a lot of criticism for being too soft on the Royals. Many were expecting, or hoping, for Charles to get a villain edit as the show geared up to cover the early 90s… but instead, fans were met with a rather subdued version of Charles’ infidelity and its effect on Diana. However, while the characters may get our sympathy, the Monarchy itself doesn’t. This season is the most explicit and damning in how it shows these people manipulated and abused by a brutal, draconian system. The Crown invites us to blame the system in order to sympathize with the rich elites caught in its crossfire… and it asks the question: do we need a monarchy at all if it does more harm than good, even for those who are meant to benefit most from it?
