Peter Morgan, the writer of Netflix’s hit drama The Crown, has called out the “deranged” Royal Family in an interview with the Sunday Times.
While speaking to the magazine about the show’s success ahead of the Season 2 release on 8 December, Morgan discusses his creative process including that of viewing the monarchy as a”completely insane system.”
“If you had told me I would be doing this, I would have told you it was mad, hallucinogenic conjecture. I wouldn’t have guessed there would be anything more to say about this countryside woman of limited intelligence who would have much preferred looking after her dogs and breeding horses to being queen.” Morgan said.
“But now I’m here. Life is strange.”
To Morgan, the monarchy is “survival organisms, like a mutating virus” who have made it through the 20th century without The Queen making any “catastrophic errors.”
What at first sounds like an insult, could really be more of a compliment as Morgan further explains.
“It is clearly a deranged institution and a completely insane system, but perhaps it’s the insanity that makes it work. Belief in God is so deranged that it makes absolutely no sense, but it holds people together somehow.”
Morgan’s unconventionally approach to the monarchy is unlike those of other biographers.
“Authorised royal biographers are so straitjacketed, deferential, fawning and unadventurous that they can only be after a knighthood,” Morgan continued. “Or they’re completely scurrilous and insolent, like Andrew Morton or Paul Burrell.
The Crown team do not consult Buckingham Palace over the storylines.
I think the writer is deranged…
I agree, because Andrew Morton was great,not “scurrilous” and “insolent”.
It has worked very well, with very few interruptions for a thousand years. I would like to know what system of government has a better record.
Parliament and PM govern. The Royals don’t. The only rubber stamp the documents and host banquets for visiting dignitaries
The effing “royals” are globalists/satanists/pricks and yes they bloody do well have power. Not the sort that really matters but they’ve got it.
Worked very well for WHOM ? Thickie.
Why not state the obvious ?
Mr Morgan sounds as though he is highly
