‘The Crown’ may develop prequel series about sordid 20th-century scandals
Variety.While “The Crown” covers Queen Elizabeth II’s wedding in 1947 and her reign from the 1950s to the present day, the new show would look into the earlier events of the family’s tumultuous history.The series would reportedly dive into the death of Queen Victoria in 1901, and then into the dynasties of four British kings: Edward VII (1901-1910), George V (1910-1936), Edward VIII (1936) and George VI (1936-1952).These rulers governed the UK and the country’s Commonwealth realms from the period after Victoria and up to the start of Queen Elizabeth’s monarchy in 1952.The outlet reported that the new show has not been greenlighted nor is it in production as of yet.According to the Daily Mail, though, the prequel would run for about three to five seasons.In earlier seasons of “The Crown,” Jared Harris played King George VI, while Alex Jennings and Derek Jacobi both appeared as King Edward VIII.Jennings, 64, originated the role of the controversial Duke of Windsor for Seasons 1 and 2. Jacobi, 83, took over for Season 3, portraying the royal in his older years.George VI and King Edward VIII famously had a contentious relationship, with the latter abdicating the throne after less than a year in power back in 1936 so he could marry his beloved Wallis Simpson.

We still text and see how each of us are doing, how's the family..."It’s strange as when I moved to Oxfordshire, we lived, literally, in neighbouring villages and he invited me over for food a couple times."I saw him here, there and everywhere.So, yes we occasionally catch up."Victoria also recalled how "clumsy" the pair were together when they were on the show.She said: "Honestly, the pair of us were just really clumsy."It was really funny, just always tripping over or slipping over."During the Quickstep, I had to run up a couple of stairs and I fell down at the last minute on some cases that were part of the stage set.She continued: "In rehearsals, Brendan hit on my skirt and I tripped on the stairs, but in the performance, he tripped over at the last minute, and then pretended it didn’t happen."We just smiled and tried to ignore it.
