Peter Morgan expressed, “The Crown serves as a declaration of affection towards her. For the time being, I have nothing further to add except for silence and reverence. I anticipate that we will likewise stop production out of respect.”
Stephen Daldry, who directed certain episodes in season one, stated during The Crown’s launch in 2016, “None of us can predict when that moment will occur, but it would be just and proper to demonstrate reverence to the Queen.
It would be a modest tribute and a gesture of respect. She is a global icon, and it is the honorable thing to do.”
