The first part of season 6 of @thecrownnetflix is out now. As the show has progressed, its creator and arbiter Peter Morgan has increasingly preferred a humanist touch when it comes to his royal subjects, even if it means overly romanticizing them or politely declining to hold them responsible for their worst moments, writes Vox senior reporter Aja Romano.
The show’s sixth season enters perhaps the darkest period of that history, as it deals with the death of Princess Diana and her boyfriend Dodi Fayed. But rather than heeding critics’ distaste for fiction, which sparked backlash during the show’s fifth season, Morgan has embraced it, increasingly blurring the lines between reality and fantasy and distorting the “true” history of Britain’s royal family.
