Crown. Official guide to the series. Elizabeth II and Winston Churchill. The formation of the young queen

"I am a queen, but I am also a woman. And wife ". - Queen Elizabeth

Princess Elizabeth Windsor never thought that she would become a queen at such an early age. In her twenty -five years, she was a happy wife and mother trying to find a balance between the family and duties of the princess. However, the news of the sudden death of her father from Cancer turned the life of Elizabeth: now she needed to ascend the throne and become a symbol of the country with the greatest history, abandoning personal aspirations and ambitions. But the series "Crown", which has won many prestigious awards in recent years, talks not only about this. This is, first of all, the history of the relationship between Elizabeth and her husband Philip Mountbetten. That is why the first episode of the series does not begin with the accession to the throne of Queen Elizabeth II, which took place in February 1952, and not from its solemn coronation in June next year, although both events became fundamental for this story.
This book, dedicated to the first two seasons of the series, will talk about how its creators carefully investigated historical facts and tried to skill in their artistic fiction. He 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 topics that determined the life of the country, as well as to reveal the meaning of the unusual events that took place in its history. The highest power of the long -standing and modern British monarchy lies in its ability to evoke sincere feelings - sometimes evil and hostile, more often curious and admiring, but always extremely sentimental. That is why this story has been conquering the hearts of viewers around the world for many years - because everyone finds in it not only the story of one of the greatest dynasties in history, but also the usual problems that are understandable to everyone. In addition to the comments of experts and the explanations of some inaccuracies in the series, the book contains many archival photographs, some of which readers will see for the first time!
