The Crown may never tackle modern day royal family - producer

The Crown will “probably” never reach the point where it dramatises the modern day goings-on of the royal family, one of the show’s producers has said. Recent high-profile events involving senior royals have intensified interest in how the acclaimed Netflix drama – currently in its third season covering the period between 1964 and 1977 – would approach contemporary affairs inside Buckingham Palace. They include the Duke of York’s relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and his disastrous appearance on the BBC’s Newsnight programme.
