The Crown In Vogue

The Crown will be the talk of the town when it launches on Netflix in November, but ahead of the much-anticipated period production - which spans 1947 to 1956 - Vogue caught up with the cast on an exclusive shoot for the August issue.

"Being royal is no privilege," Eileen Atkins, who plays the Queen Mother, told Juliet Nicolson, sharing the insight she has gained after extensive research into her role. "They are constantly on, they cannot ever slip off their shoes in public. Celebrities choose fame. Royals have it thrust upon them."

Styled by Vogue fashion editor Verity Parker for the issue, the cast gather in exquisite creations evoking the era. Elie Saab Haute Couture, Zuhair Murad Couture, Ralph & Russo, Altuzarra, and Chanel Haute Couture all feature in the beautiful 10-page shoot.
