I cried so much this season. I think it was an unexpected place to end the show but they pulled it off gracefully, imo. The queen's unwavering determination to do the job she's been tasked with has been the through-line drawn across all the seasons and they doubled down on it in this ending in a very touching way. It's bittersweet, almost all bitter: you feel how truly alone she is and the absence of the person she could have been without this great burden. But she has support in her husband, who believes she is the only one fit for the job, as well as the nation's. And that has to be enough.
On a lighter note, they did Harry kind of dirty. I don't know if it was the casting, the script, the editing or all of the above, but aside from his only plot line being the Nazi costume, this last episode especially felt like Harry's villain origin story :laughing:. He was shooting death glares left, right and centre and looked like he was plotting to kill William at more than one point hahaha. Meanwhile this show has also been very gracious to Charles. Overall I'm sad to see it end, but it did have to at some point because it was starting to get uncomfortably close to the present day.
