Netflix’s The Crown will not feature the Harry and Meghan story, says creator of landmark series
- There are no plans to feature any current royal dramas, says series creator Peter Morgan
- Morgan believes the stories are too recent to be anything but journalistic
Fans of Netflix’s The Crown shouldn’t expect to see any of the current-day drama regarding the British monarchy on the popular series.
Although the most recent season of the landmark historical drama is revisiting the Prince Charles and Princess Diana era, producers have no plans to feature any of the modern-day controversy surrounding Meghan Markle and Prince Harry.
Season six is set to be the final season of The Crown, ending somewhere in the early 2000s.
The Crown creator Peter Morgan has specifically said that the young royals’ romance is simply too recent to reflect on with any clarity in the show, so if they were to be covered on-screen, they would have to wait for the show to be revived in another decade or so.
“I just think you get so much more interesting [with time],” he told The Hollywood Reporter. “Meghan and Harry are in the middle of their journey, and I don’t know what their journey is or how it will end. One wishes some happiness, but I’m much more comfortable writing about things that happened at least 20 years ago.”
