God save our Queen of screen
The Crown, the jewel in Netflix’s… crown, is returning for a new series, with added Lord Snowdon to spice things up.
I have to say that the trailer, released this week, was almost a tease too much. Claire Foy, who plays the Queen, makes me feel that all is well in the world, even when it is quite clearly not.
Vanessa Kirby as Princess Margaret makes my heart soar (sorry, husband). As the rain poured down outside, making it feel more like the end of November than August, a new episode of The Crown was just what I could have done with. Combine the summer washout with the promise of new Strictly contestants, and I’m almost ready to fast forward through the next bank holiday and straight into the conker-strewn wilds of autumn. God save the Queen!
