In of The Crown , titled " Gunpowder ," the tension of the monarchy reaches a boiling point. Aptly set against the backdrop of Guy Fawkes Night , the episode explores the metaphor of treason as Princess Diana prepares to "blow up" the royal family with her infamous BBC Panorama interview . Key Highlights
: The episode masterfully parallels the failed 1605 Gunpowder Plot to destroy Parliament with Diana’s own calculated strike against the establishment.
: The episode captures the internal struggle at the BBC, with Director-General John Birt wrestling over whether to give a platform to a woman who clearly intended to inflict significant damage on the monarchy.
