In the aftermath of Princess Margaret’s death, the Queen approaches her Golden Jubilee with

more trepidation than ever before. With her mother’s health in decline, she finds herself vulnerable to the attacks of Mohamed Al Fayed who pursues a high-profile campaign to prove responsibility for Diana’s death lies with the Royal Family. Meanwhile, between his blossoming romance with Kate and the re-opened case surrounding his mother’s death, William seeks to lead as normal a life as possible while he still can.

Edith Bowman speaks with director Erik Richter-Strand about showing a more vulnerable side of the Queen, and Head of Research Annie Sulzberger introduces researcher Anna Basista to give insight into the Paget Report. Actor Marcia Warren reflects on playing the Queen Mother and Edith meets The Crown’s Prince Harry, Luthor Ford – in his first ever interview.

The Crown: The Official Podcast is produced by Netflix and Sony Music Entertainment, in association with Left Bank Pictures.
