Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey got The Crown trending as Twitter users wonder how all this drama would be covered on a future season of the Netflix series. But as creator Peter Morgan has repeatedly said, he can't write a story based on something that's still ongoing. “I know how my show is going to end — but that’s long before where we are now,” Morgan told EW in 2018, when Harry and Meghan were part of the Royal family. “I feel uncomfortable writing about events within a certain time period. I think there’s a certain amount of time within which, if you write about it, what you do instantly becomes journalistic. Because it’s too close to the moment. If you wait a certain amount of time, if you allow fifteen or twenty years, basically a generation, between you and (the events) then you can write about it somewhat freely as drama. Let’s wait twenty years and see what there is to say about Meghan Markle. I don’t know what there is to say about Meghan Markle at the moment. I wouldn’t know and I wouldn’t presume. She’ll only become interesting once we’ve had twenty years to digest who she is and what her impact has been. If I were to write about Meghan Markle I would automatically be writing journalistically. I’ve got nothing to say about Meghan Markle.”
