** Some viewers believed that the natural endpoint for the show would have been the Queen's eventual death, and that the show felt unfinished ending nearly twenty years earlier at the wedding of Charles and Camilla. Given that the real Elizabeth died very late into the show's run, it would have required an adjustment, but a significant portion of her tenure was left uncovered.

** The final actor for Prince Harry, Luther Ford, was criticized for not looking like the real Harry at all, as well as for being too old for the role. The latter was especially jarring because of the timing of the switch--the change was made for the second half of the season, but mere weeks had passed in-universe, resulting in the 23-year-old Ford playing a 13-year-old Harry (the casting switch for William also got some criticism for this, but the age gap to a pre-teen made the Harry age mismatch much more noticeable). Many wondered why the previous actor, who actually was 13, couldn't have continued to play the role for at least one more episode. Hilariously, Ford bears enough of a resemblance to actor Creator/EddieRedmayne that some fans thought he actually was playing a young version, which actually would have been realistic given that Redmayne and Prince William were actually classmates at Eton at the time.
