TV show description:
Based on the award-winning play called The Audience, this dramatic TV show revolves around the political rivalries and romance of Queen Elizabeth II. It focuses on her reign and the events that helped shape the latter half of the 20th century.
Taking place in the coveted world of power and privilege, the story unfolds behind the locked doors in Westminster and Buckingham Palace.
The series begins by focusing on Queen Elizabeth II (Claire Foy) as a 25-year-old newlywed, having married Prince Philip (Matt Smith). She’s faced with the daunting prospect of leading the world’s most famous monarchy while forging a relationship with legendary Prime Minister Sir Winston Churchill (John Lithgow).
The British Empire is in decline, the political world is in disarray, and a young woman takes the throne — a new era is dawning. The Queen’s private journey unfolds behind the public facade with daring frankness.
Episode #60 — Sleep, Dearie Sleep
The Queen gives Charles the green light to wed Camilla. Tasked with planning her own funeral ahead of her 80th birthday, she faces an existential crisis.
First aired: December 14, 223.

The Queen is an absolutely fabulous woman who deserves to be at the top of the World’s Most Admired list. This is a real attention getter, great to binge watch, really holds your attention and makes you understand just how much the English monarchy mean to both history and the need to keep and support this institution far into the future.
I am British and I absolutely adore this show. In fact I lived through and recall the events covered. The performances are outstanding and john lythgoe’s Winston Churchill is a benchmark that will not easily be beaten. It is the sheer believability of the characters that pulls you in. Of course the Duke of Edinburgh won’t be happy with this interpretation but Matt Smith and Claire Foy are simply superb and utterly believable. In the past such subject matter has not been good but Netflix have shown with this that they are a force to reckon with and will show… Read more »
