It was three years ago when I first stumbled upon The Crown while searching for something to binge on. I had evening shifts in office then, so, I wanted a series that would successfully keep me hooked on it.
As the episodes rolled down of season 1, I realised how big a feast it was. The Crown is not only about palatial abode where the queen rests and takes quick decisions. There are bigger truths kept hidden or classified for obvious reasons. The crown has many lessons.
It made me realise how life is equally harsh for even ‘The Queen’. Right from the childhood to her coronation ceremony things are uncertain and challenging, specially as a woman.
Her relations with family, citizens, politicians and others is always something new, hers is a place marked by loneliness and deep focus on duties. No matter how much we deny this fact but I have got the lesson that somewhere, The Crown has more than the queen’s luxurious life style to it.
It has many things in common to a common man. The only difference is that she is ‘The Queen’ in whose names big political decisions are taken and we as common man struggle our way through life’s difficult terrain.
We all should take it as a lesson that life isn’t fair even to The Queen. However easy it might seem but you should never lose hope. We all learn with time and age and become better and eventually the best version of ourselves.
Those of you who may have seen it the queen wasn’t a very learned or enlightened individual in the beginning. Despite being in such an influential position, she kept searching for the better version of herself. She learnt politics, maneuvering, diplomacy, managing relations and what it means to be the queen.
We all have our respective journeys and we must enjoy life to the fullest while respecting our struggles and challenges that have made us who we are today.
