Season 2 of The Crown picks up where Season 1 left off — with tensions high between Britain and Egypt as well as between Queen Elizabeth (Claire Foy) & her husband, Prince Philip (Matt Smith).

Let’s start with global politics. Prime Minister Anthony Eden’s (Jeremy Northam) dispute with Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser (Amir Boutrous) is just an inkling of what becomes 1956’s Suez Crisis. In response lớn Nasser’s nationalization of the Suez Canal Company — effectively taking over the canal from Western powers — Eden’s government colludes with France và Israel khổng lồ invade Egyptian territory. The move is met with widespread international disapproval, và British forces withdraw from Egypt. In the aftermath, Eden also withdraws, from his position as PM — at first temporarily for his health, & then permanently in disgrace. Harold Macmillan (Anton Lesser) succeeds him.


Unlike Eden, Elizabeth và Philip don’t have the option lớn resign — nor to divorce. At the beginning of the season, Philip embarks on a five-month tour, during which he will open the 1956 Summer Olympics in Melbourne, with private secretary/best friend/chief enabler Mike Parker (Daniel Ings) by his side. The trip is largely a debaucherous lads’ holiday, but it comes lớn an abrupt over when Parker’s wife, Eileen (Chloe Pirrie), files for divorce back in England, attracting attention from the press. The Parkers’ marital discord throws the royal couple’s relationship into sharp relief; as a concession khổng lồ Philip, who feels emasculated in his role, Elizabeth makes him a prince.

Having been denied her wish khổng lồ marry Peter Townsend (Ben Miles) in Season 1, Princess Margaret (Vanessa Kirby) copes with her disappointment through excessive partying. She begins a romance with photographer Antony Armstrong-Jones (Matthew Goode), whose subversive ideas thrill her; upon learning that Peter plans to marry, Margaret suggests lớn Tony that they vì the same. Though driven by questionable motives, the glamorous, impetuous couple weds.

The impact of Suez doesn’t kết thúc with Eden’s departure. Internationally, the crisis signifies Britain’s declining status as a global power, và the country’s economy and sense of identity take major hits. The vibes, as they say, are off in the United Kingdom, & never more so than when Secretary of State for War John Profumo (Tim Steed) is discovered to have had an affair with a young mã sản phẩm who may have had a simultaneous relationship with a Soviet military attaché. The 1963 scandal rocks the country, và an exhausted Macmillan resigns.

Through Macmillan’s resignation, the discovery of troubling family history, an embarrassing critical op-ed và an illuminating brush with Jacqueline Kennedy (Jodi Balfour), Elizabeth evolves with changing times and grows into her role as sovereign. At the end of the season (when she also gives birth khổng lồ Princes Andrew và Edward), she finally receives the confirmation that she doesn’t have to lớn navigate her seemingly impossible path alone: When confronted with every rumor she’s heard about him since his infamous tour, Philip reaffirms his devotion and commitment to his wife.
