Just a few days ago the first trailer of the fourth season of "The Crown" was released , where we saw images of Princess Diana for the first time, and now, statements by the creator of the series come to light, about why he does not want to that Meghan Markle and prince Harry appear in the plot of the draft Netflix.
Screenwriter Peter Morgan said in an interview that he has no dealings with the British royal family and that he never consulted them about the story he intended to bring to the screen. "I don't want to have anything to do with the palace, and the palace wants nothing to do with me," he assured The Hollywood Reporter .
But, without the playwright seeking approval from the real-life figures featured in "The Crown," there are reasons why he doesn't want to address the latest royal scandals in the last two seasons of his show .

"I feel much more comfortable writing about things that happened at least 20 years ago," he told the aforementioned outlet.
"I think you get a lot more interesting over time. Meghan and Harry are in the middle of their journey, and I don't know what their journey is or how it will end," Morgan explained when asked about the absence of the Dukes of Sussex.
"I have a 20 year rule in my head. That is enough time and distance to really understand something, to understand its position and relevance. Often times, things that seem absolutely important today are instantly forgotten, and others have a habit of stay and prove to be historically very relevant and durable, "he added.

Regarding everything that Lady Di's youngest son has experienced in his relationship, the creator is clear why it is not necessary to narrate anything, at least, directly.
"It is quite possible, for example, to tell the story of Harry and Meghan through analogy and metaphor, if that's what you want to do. There are so many examples in the past, whether it's Wallis Simpson or Edward VII, or Diana and Prince Charles, "Morgan said, then said that in royalty, there is a long history of conflict between couples.
"In the past there are complicated marriages. Wives who have married members of the royal family who have not felt welcome and who did not fit in. So there are many stories to tell without telling the story of Harry and Meghan," said the producer , which is already putting together the fifth season of the acclaimed drama, which will premiere in 2022.

So far, Peter Morgan has not received any censorship from the British family, in fact, he admits that they have not even tried to correct what he does.
"Some people might say, 'It's outrageous how The Crown got away with it,' and other people might say, 'The Crown could have said a lot worse.' So depending on your perspective, if he's an anti-monarchist, don't no matter how critical he is, he will never be critical enough. And if you are really a staunch monarchist, then all I say is pure treason. You will never make those two extremes happy. And there is no point in even trying. I just write what I want to write "he stated in his talk with THR .
In November 2019, Helena Bonham Carter and Olivia Colman, who play Princess Margaret and Queen Elizabeth II in "The Crown," respectively, spoke on a television show about their curious encounters with Prince William, where there were alcohol, emotion and confessions involved.
