The Crown

Monarch's televised biography

The Crown refers to the institution of monarchy—the sovereign and the system of royal government: lands belonging to The Crown, a minister of The Crown.

In British law, criminal cases are brought by The Crown against defendants.

The Crown is also a Netflix historical drama chronicling the reign of Elizabeth II. (Lowercase, the crown is the top of the head or a dental cap.)
