Who is Elizabeth II in The Crown?
The crown made flesh · House Windsor
Elizabeth II (The crown made flesh) is a character in The Crown, part of House Windsor. Elizabeth Windsor marries her navy lieutenant expecting decades as a wife, mother, and heir-at-a-distance — her father is king, young enough, surely, to reign for thirty more years. She is dutiful where her sister sparkles, careful where her uncle was catastrophic, educated in constitutional law and very little else. The series' engine is the question she will answer for seventy years: how much of Elizabeth must die for the Crown to live?
