The Crown creator Peter Morgan has revealed that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle won't be included at any time during the fifth or sixth seasons of the hit Netflix series.
The series began with Elizabeth becoming Queen in the first season, and has included storylines involving her husband Prince Philip, sister Princess Margaret and her children, Prince Charles and Princess Anne. It has been confirmed that Princess Diana will be included in a storyline at some point in a future season.
Morgan told The Hollywood Reporter: "Meghan and Harry are in the middle of their journey, and I don’t know what their journey is or how it will end. One wishes some happiness, but I’m much more comfortable writing about things that happened at least 20 years ago.
“There have been plenty of opportunities in the past where there have been marital complications. There’ve been wives that have been married into the Royal Family that have felt unwelcome and that they don’t fit in. So there are plenty of stories to tell without telling the story of Harry and Meghan.”
