Margaret has always been one of the most compelling characters in The Crown. Her status as the second-born daughter of George VI meant that she had at least a bit more freedom to pursue her desires than her sister, even as she also had to contend with the repressive realities of being in such close proximity to the reigning monarch.

The Princess came under intense public scrutiny while she was alive, and after her passing in 1997, many filmmakers took up the challenge of portraying her life with dignity and care. While this may be the case, not all adaptations of her experiences or portrayals of her as a person are on the same level. Naturally, every actor brings something different to the role, even when they are supposed to be the same version of the character, such as in Netflix's The Crown cast.

The Crown’s basis in real life has always been one of the show’s biggest draws, as well as its biggest risk. When the show effectively dramatizes some of the most significant moments in the 20th-century history of the British royal family, it’s phenomenal television. However, when the show gets something wrong or mishandles the tone of a real-life event, it is subject to enormous scrutiny. This pressure to honor the real-life subject matter has resulted in a heartbreaking start to season 6.

However, The Crown didn't maintain the same quality throughout all six seasons, and after season 6, part 1, it will need to make some changes to stick the landing in part 2.
