There is no doubt that ‘The Crown” has outdone all the other shows already produced on the royal family’s scandalous life and the sacrifices made in the name of duty. The show itself and the filmmakers have garnered much attention from the entire globe, including the Buckingham Palace.
The show’s 4th season has recently come out, and I have been stuck to my TV screen for hours after work. However, it didn’t take very long for me to binge-watch the entire season despite the busy schedule. After finishing the show, I felt a sudden urge to watch more of what happens next and how the events unfold behind the Palaces’ walls. While I gave reading history a chance, Netflix’s algorithm has been showing plenty of similar historical dramas/films/series that can be binge-watched this holiday reason.
Here are 6 dramas for your royal fix!
1- Diana
This time around, Diana was the heart of the 4th season of ‘The Crown.’ If you are missing Princess Diana and wish to watch her entrance into the royal family and her short life after that, then Diana is for you to watch! It is a biographical drama film released in 2013. The screenplay is based on Stephen Jeffreys’s book published in 2001 called Diana: Her Last Love.
