About The Crown
The Crown tells the inside story of two of the most famous addresses in the world -- Buckingham Palace and 10 Downing Street - and the intrigues, love lives and machinations behind the great events that shaped the second half of the 20th century. Two houses, two courts, one Crown.
How to get through The Crown faster
- Skip the intro. Roughly a minute and a quarter per episode adds up to about 1 hour, 15 minutes across the whole run.
- Bump the speed. At 1.25× the total drops to 44 hours; at 1.5× it's 36.6 hours.
- Watch with a comment section. A running conversation pinned to each moment makes long stretches feel shorter, and it's the reason TalkAbtIT exists.
