"The Crown" Season 2 from Netflix and creator Peter Morgan will be a tougher season for Queen Elizabeth (Claire Foy) and Prince Philip (Matt Smith). The series is a dramatized account of both alleged and historical happenings in the British royal household. The showrunner particularly focused on the transition for Queen Elizabeth from being regular royalty to taking on the responsibility of leading the British realm.
Radio Times cites description by Peter Morgan of the crown Queen Elizabeth wears as a sort of bomb that changed the dynamics around the young Elizabeth both in familial and political aspects. The writer highlighted that the Netflix series is not as much a historical witness as a story of a family. "The Crown" lays out the story of this family and what having a monarch within it means.
