Royalists (and many republicans) rejoice…
And that’s because after a pause in filming out of respect for the real Queen, series 5 of The Crown is almost here, 2 years after the last season. Viewership of seasons 1-4 have surged following the Queen’s death, and this series might be the most popular yet. That’s because a new cast will tell the somewhat true story of the royals during the 1990s, a tumultuous period, to put it mildly… Imelda Staunton takes the reign as Queen Elizabeth II, Jonathan Pryce as Prince Philip, and Jonny Lee Miller as the bespectacled PM John Major. But who cares about them – this series is all about Princess Diana’s breakaway from ‘The Firm’, as portrayed by Aussie Elizabeth Debicki with Dominic West as Prince Charles. Some key moments will include their divorce, Diana’s controversial 1995 BBC interview, and the infamous ‘Tampongate’ scandal… You can binge all 10 episodes on Netflix from tonight. Giddy up…
