Princess Elizabeth of Windsor never thought she would become queen at such an early age. In her twenty-five years, she was a happy wife and mother trying to balance family and the responsibilities of being a princess. However, the news of her father's sudden death from cancer turned Elizabeth's life upside down: now she needed to ascend the throne and become a symbol of the country with the greatest history, giving up her personal aspirations and ambitions. But the series "The Crown", which has won many prestigious awards in recent years, tells not only about this. This is, above all, the story of the relationship between Elizabeth and her husband Philip Mountbatten. That is why the first episode of the series does not begin with Queen Elizabeth II's accession to the throne, which took place in February 1952, nor with her ceremonial coronation the following June, although both events were fundamental to the story. This book, focusing on the first two seasons of the series, will explain how its creators meticulously researched historical facts and tried to skillfully weave fiction into them. Will explain that the purpose of the series is not only to entertain the viewer, but also to show on the screen the great characters and large-scale themes that defined the life of the country, as well as to reveal the meaning of unusual events that occurred in its history. The supreme strength of the long-standing and modern British monarchy lies in its ability to evoke sincere feelings - sometimes angry and hostile, more often curious and admiring, but always extremely sentimental. That is why this story has been capturing the hearts of viewers around the world for many years - because everyone finds in it not just the story of one of the greatest dynasties in history, but also ordinary problems that are understandable to everyone. In addition to expert commentaries and explanations of some inaccuracies in the series, the book contains many archival photographs, some of which readers will see for the first time!
