Corfu”) tries to help us relate to
Charles’s dour semester spent
learning the native tongue in
Wales, in the weeks leading up to
his investiture as the Prince of
Wales. A patient professor (mark
Lewis Jones) opens the heir-ap-
parent’s eyes to class struggle,
which Charles views from a per-
spective that differs from his
mother’s.
Charles’s misery d rags o n, a s he
meets and f alls in love w ith Camil-
la Shand (Emerald fennell), only
to have the romance thwarted by
the f amily. obviously “ The Crown”
is obligated to treat this burgeon-
ing drama as the real meat of the
matter, seeing as how the r elation-
ship stood the test of time and
affected so much else yet to come,
but something about the story —
the way it’s written, the way it’s
performed — takes a viewer out of
whatever spell the series usually
casts. It’s more like a Lifetime
movie.
It helps immensely that mor-
gan a nd c ompany, who aren’t c om-
plete sticklers about the timeline,
weave Charles’s heartbreak in
with the a pproaching death of D a-
vid (Derek Jacobi), the former Ed-
ward VIII, who gave up the crown
to be with the w oman he loved.
In h is f ading, David r eminds us:
“The crown a lways f inds its way to
the r ight head.”
And that’s what keeps “The
Crown” percolating, as i t prepares
for the tumult of historical events
and tabloid scandals ahead. The
show has a subliminal w illingness
to seed a constant doubt, to under-
mine age-old concepts of entitle-
ment. It blends fact, fantasy and
humanity in a way that allows us
to wonder if the crown truly does
rest where it ought.

the crown (10 episodes) returns
Sunday on netflix.

en a chillier view of U.S.-British
relations than President John f.
Kennedy d id.
margaret’s messiness contin-
ues to be one of “The Crown’s”
primary fixations: her inebriated
tirades; the slow collapse of her
marriage to Antony Armstrong-
Jones (Ben Daniels); the ceaseless
ennui of a pampered life at a price
point that fuels anti-royal senti-
ment. Bonham Carter aces the
tantrums and the shrewd deploy-
ment of iciness, but, after a strong
second episode titled “margare-
tology” ( which includes h er Amer-
ican escapade), margaret’s aim-
lessness becomes tedious. Bon-
ham C arter’s p erformance is capa-
ble, but n ot exactly memorable.
T he queen, meanwhile, has one
of her earliest reckonings with
class and human suffering in the
modern era, as she wrestles with
an appropriate royal response to
the tragic deaths of 144 people,
mostly schoolchildren, in the 1966
slurry avalanche at a coal-mining
site in Aberfan, Wales. It’s a fore-
shadowing, o f sorts, of the d elayed
royal tears after Princess Diana’s
death three decades later, depict-
ed so memorably in morgan’s
screenplay for the 2006 film “The
Queen.”
“What precisely would you have
me do?” Elizabeth asks, when the
left-leaning prime minister, Har-
old Wilson (Jason Watkins, whose
performance i s one o f this season’s
highlights), suggests that her maj-
esty v isit the s ite, a s bodies are still
being r ecovered.
“Comfort people,” Wilson says.
“Put on a show?” t he q ueen says.
“The crown d oesn’t d o that.”
“I didn’t say put on a show,”
Wilson replies. “I said comfort peo-
ple.”
Attempts to interest us in young
Prince Charles’s special burden of
duty and destiny fall a little flat.
Josh o’Connor (“The Durrells in

We’re here because t he s uffering is
so rarefied. oh, these poor, poor
souls who must go their entire
lives doubting their God-given
right t o a cloudy d ay.
While England grapples with a
worsening economy and overall
malaise, m idlife gloom i s the m ain
bugaboo for the occupants of
Buckingham Palace, made e vident
as the first episode opens with
Elizabeth’s chance to examine the
updated profile of her that will
grace the new postage stamps.
Despite every assurance from
her advisers that her maturity is a
thing of beauty, the queen is not
convinced. “one just has to get on
with it,” s he says. Inheriting “The
Crown” f rom Claire foy (who won
a Golden Globe and an Emmy for
playing the role in Seasons 1 and
2), Colman is convincing in the
role from the moment we see her,
conveying the queen’s deepest
worries with just the slightest
twitch.
The bigger surprise is To bias
menzies (“outlander,” “Game of
Thrones”), who takes the role of
Prince Philip, previously p layed b y
matt Smith, just as the royal hus-
band’s story gets a bit deeper and
darker. Philip’s midlife crisis —
triggered in part by h is e nvy of the
American astronauts who land on
the moon — is a study in the
fragility of male ego.
He i s also j angled b y the s udden
presence of his elderly mother, an
orthodox nun (scene-stealer Jane
Lapotaire) once known as Prin-
cess Alice of Battenberg, who
found solace from mental illness
and emotional demons by devot-
ing her life to charity. After a mili-
tary coup in Greece, the palace
brings an ailing Alice to stay, over
Philip’s objections. He warms to
her once he sees that the press
adores her, dubbing her “ the royal
Saint.”
Public perception becomes a
central preoccupation for the
Windsors. A day-in-the-royal-life
BBC documentary, meant to hu-
manize the family, is generally re-
garded as a dud by those who
watch it, especially the queen her-
self.
It’s Princess margaret, the
queen’s increasingly dissatisfied
sister (now played by Helena Bon-
ham Carter), who possesses the
true gift for limelight. on a trip to
the U nited States, m argaret scores
big with the glitterati in San fran-
cisco and L.A. Her celebrity,
though greeted with quiet disap-
proval in the palace, is also seen a s
an asset — so much so t hat marga-
ret is diverted to Washington to

son (Clancy Brown), who has tak-
