The final season of The Crown charts the story of the royal family from 1997 to 2005. Are there any unique challenges of telling the stories of living royals, and of the Windsor dynasty in particular?
Sometimes the biggest issue is our collective memory, because we remember things in the moment.

In fact, there were three – but that third victim got little coverage in the newspapers.
