Shortly after the queen’s death was announced,The Crown showrunners announced that production on the show’s sixth and supposedly final season had been suspended on Friday, as a “mark of respect” for Britain’s longest-serving monarch. “Filming will also be suspended on the day of Her Majesty The Queen’s funeral,” a source close to Netflix told Variety, after showrunner Peter Morgan called the Emmy-winning drama a “love letter to her”. We’re all incredibly impressed by what she did.” Colman also praised King Charles III’s first speech, in which he promised “lifelong service” and paid tribute to his “darling Mama”, saying: “May flights of angels sing thee to thy rest.” “From a British point of view, he did it so beautifully,” Colman said.
