‘The Crown’ Creator Peter Morgan Weighs In on King Charles’ Divisive New Portrait: ‘I Cheered It More Than I Booed It’


"The Crown" creator Peter Morgan talks about King Charles' new very red official portrait.

Peter Morgan, creator of Netflix’s award-winning drama “ The Crown,” is weighing in on King Charles III ’s new, highly divisive portrait. “The picture is at least partially successful, I think,” Morgan told me Friday at an FYC event for the “Crown’s” final season. “In this case, my aim was also to make reference to the traditions of royal portraiture but in a way that reflects a 21st century monarchy and, above all else, to communicate the subject’s deep humanity.”
