The Duke of Windsor, Elizabeth’s uncle, is featured prominently in the show’s first two seasons but takes on a lesser role in Season 3.
And with his death closes a controversial chapter in the House of Windsor.
The Crown Season 3 also featured the deaths of two of the biggest figures in Elizabeth’s life: former Prime Minister and her mentor of sorts Winston Churchill (John Lithgow) and her uncle and the former King of England, the Duke of Windsor (Derek Jacobi).
Still though, Elizabeth’s meeting with the former King Edward VIII is one of the most consequential moments of the entire season as it sees the two coming to terms with the events that led to his abdication and her assumption of the crown following his brother and her father’s death.
