A Sibling Rivalry Unveiled
The final episodes of the series delve into the relationship between Prince William and Prince Harry, portraying a sibling rivalry. William is adored by all, while Harry feels left behind. Taking advantage of the lack of attention, Harry indulges in partying and casual encounters with regular Brits.
The Outrageous Gift
In one scene, as Prince William prepares to leave for St Andrews University, Harry presents him with a wrapped package in front of Queen Elizabeth II. Inside the package are flavored condoms. The Queen, played by Imelda Staunton, is visibly horrified by the gift. Harry playfully responds, "Putting them in your mouth is optional, granny."
Encouraging Wildness
Harry goes on to tease William, calling him a "frigid weirdo" and urging him to embrace the university experience.

Real-Life Reactions
A friend of Prince William recently shared that he would be "sickened" by the portrayal if he watched The Crown. William is reportedly angry with Harry for his decision to work with Netflix, a company that has been accused of exploiting the Royal family.
