MyRating:: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
My Thoughts: I once again enjoyed this as a costume drama, taking much of it with a pinch of salt. The problem with recent history is that we lived through it, and people that were alive as able to stand up and say that elements are fictional. I am unimpressed that Netflix still won't add a disclaimer that it is a fictional account based around factual events.

My Thoughts:: I wasn't sure whether I wanted to watch season six at all, but I did as I had seen the rest. At this point it is hard to relate this series to the first two seasons. What began as a beautiful opulent program that seemed in the main to be based on many historically factual events has descended into tittle tattle and it completely disregards the fact that at the time of her passing Queen Elizabeth II was highly regarded by a large portion of society and admired the world over.
When the series began I remember a conversation on TV discussing the fact that the program would not continue into the lives of Price William and Harry. Obviously that was either fake news or something changed. The first two series were five star without a doubt, such a shame everything went downhill.
