We skipped 15 years or so ahead into the lives of the Royal Family, but don't worry - everything is the same. Prince Phillip is the same snippy grouch capable of incredibly flippant viciousness. He perhaps experiences more bouts of self-awareness, but compare the Phillip we saw at the end of season 2 to the one in the season finale. Has he really changed? Queen Elizabeth is the same stoic queen whose dedication to the crown would make Queen Mary very proud. Prince Charles and Princess Anne introduce new elements, but their presence is too sparse to leave the lasting impact I think they could have. I think the show overextends itself a bit, trying to cover too many storylines while fitting them into the significant historical moments of Elizabeth's reign. Having said all that, I loved the finale. If there is one storyline that always delivers, it's Queen Margaret's regardless of who is playing her. Helena Bonham's performance evokes tremendous sympathy, impressive considering how much of her life has been skipped since she last took the spotlight like this. Also Marion Bailey is a full on fucking psychopath as Queen Mother.
