CBS News reported that if the couple know “the secret of what makes a marriage work, they weren’t saying.” But if you really want to know, Season 2 of “The Crown” starts streaming on Netflix on Friday.
According to the well-researched narrative, a big part of the answer is that Elizabeth (Claire Foy) decided to ignore Philip’s (Matt Smith) philandering for the sake of the monarchy. Although three of her four children would divorce in the 1990s, that option wasn’t there for the reigning monarch in the 1950s.
As was the case with Season 1, Season 2 of “The Crown” is not a ripped-from-the-tabloid-headlines story of sex and scandal.
