The fascinating royal and social history that inspired seasons 2 and 3 of The Crown, written by the show’s historical consultant.
In this eye-opening companion to seasons 2 and 3 of Netflix’s acclaimed series The Crown, renowned biographer—and the show’s historical consultant—Robert Lacey takes us through the real history that inspired the drama.
Covering two tumultuous decades in the reign of Queen Elizabeth II, Lacey looks at the key social, political, and personal moments and their effects—not only on the royal family but also on the world around them.

Extensively researched, this is a unique look behind the history that inspired the show and the years that would prove to be the making of the queen.
