Not for anyone but King George, who gets confused sometimes about reality (that's sort of the way that he describes it).

There’s no physical abandonment, but definitely emotional. Lady Danbury and the Queen both recognize that they were not present mothers in their children’s lives

a character is continuously raped in the first three episodes by their spouse. This happens from 20:57-22:20 in episode one, 30:10-30:35 in episode 2, 18:45-19:30 and 42:05-42:50 in eoisode 3. they discuss how exhausted they are by it after every encounter. in episode 5, in 1:12:00-1:12:20, the character gets reminded of the experience. there is also mention of a woman with an abusive husband in the past who abused her and her son. she does not go into details but simply mentions she and her son had bruises because of him.

there's a clip where a painter is drawing the royal family. when the royal family leaves, he's basically gaslit and told "they're still there, keep drawing". it's played off as a joke and can easily be skipped, it's not really an important scene.

there is mention of child abuse in one of the later episodes, but it's not shown on screen. the mother describes some of the child's injuries and states they were inflicted by a parent.
there is also mention of neglectful parents whose children feel like they "don't know them", but the kids are not abused by them.

In the first 10 or so minutes there is a sex scene between a young women (maybe 25 years old) and her elderly husband where the young women is laying flat on the bed like a dead fish and clearly “waiting for it to be over” while the elderly husband is on top of her having a very … animated… climax. It seemed like the show was trying to make it out as “funny” but I found it extremely uncomfortable and unnerving to watch. It was clearly unconsentual.

Nobody burns alive, however one of the treatment King George undergoes is called ‘blistering’ where he is tied to a chair, and given controlled burns with a hot poker. It is a quick scene and not graphic, however still upsetting to watch for some

No, but part of the king's mental health treatment involves dietary restriction and only eating gruel, so this could be a potential trigger to watch out for.

There is a photosensitivity warning on this episode. I am quite light sensitive so I watched with sunglasses on. Then I got caught up in the story and never noticed a problem with light (even though flashing or bright lights cause me to take notice). I have no idea which scene the warning is about.

A central theme of the series is trying to conceive (not infertility) there is mention of babies or the need to have babies most episodes. It can be a little confronting if you are triggered by TTC storylines or the pressure of TTC.

only seen E1 but already talks about how she is "too brown" //
have now watched further and oh my god this show is so racist. they imagined an alternate reality, but all of their integration efforts are because they're sad people "don't want to mingle" and all the progress happens when white people are "nice" and go talk to the POC. Integration is referred to as the "Great Experiment" and spearheaded by the British crown of all people. Meanwhile the white people say horrifically racist and colourist things and there is mention of Britain's colonies. I actually cannot believe this was made, good God. Some of these writers really need to learn what racism is and how integration happened (fought for tooth and nail, not "given" to POC because white people woke up one day and decided they wanted to be our friends) because right now it's just used as a stupid preachy plot device to make the romance more interesting and it is making me LOSE it.

it's implied that a gay character has died, but it's not shown on screen. since the show is set both in the past and present, this is only implied by the character's lack of presence in the present.

Not directly, but the queen does consistently pressure her children to produce heirs, puts her daughters down for not marrying and having babies, and at one point makes a joke at their expense along the lines of wishing they would be more like their "whore" brothers and show some desire to fornicate

lady danbury has an older husband. introduced in sex scene E1. there are many sex scenes with them throughout the show. pretty much whenever it shows a shot of their house it is about to cut to a sex scene of them. I should also mention this is less 'sex' than it is assault - she clearly hates it, talks about enduring it and has a point on the ceiling she stares at, and later has flashbacks to it.
