The Spectator(@spectator):A year before her death, one French newspaper pondered why it was that a country that had lopped off the heads of its own king and queen was now 'obsessed by the British Royal Family'. Good question. From Harry to Kate to King Charles, the French can't get enough of 'Le Firm'. Season Four of The Crown, for example, which was released in 2020, spent 29 days in the top 10 of the most-watched shows on Netflix in France, including five days at number one. ✍️ Gavin Mortimer Article | https://t.co/QlvjbMrua8
