I don't doubt that they meant for Guinevere's coronation to be a happy ending for Camelot, they just did too good a job of showing why this would not be a realistic outcome. In any case, even if things become happy for Albion in the future, it's not an Albion that Arthur and Merlin built.

There are times that I think that the writers did not intend to kill Uther off so quickly, and that the show was to end with Arthur becoming King and the beginning of the golden age.
