You just know BP have not been consulted. Totally understand Harry & Meghan need to step away. The British press has been absolutely vile to her and it’s because she’s an American black woman. But this move is very dangerous to the firm. Can’t wait for season 6 of #TheCrown pic.twitter.com/hX45hDPHgl

Although it was never confirmed, it has been widely reported that the series is set to go on for six seasons. Keeping this in mind fans are calculating that the show's sixth season will take it up to the year 2007 and it would a season 8 for The Crown to reach this controversy.
While the royal departure of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle may give the creator plenty of material to work with, fans already have a theory that the seventh season of the series may revolve around Prince Andrew's relationship with Jeffery Epstein.
