NEWS… BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT
The Crown season 5 will be released on Netflix in a matter of days, heralding the arrival of a new cast of actors portraying central members of the British Royal Family.
As the Netflix series edges closer to the present day of 2022, season five focuses on the 1990s and sees the third set of performers take on the roles of the late Queen Elizabeth II and her husband, Prince Philip.
It is Imelda Staunton and Sir Jonathan Pryce who will step into the shoes of the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh, who died in April 2021.
Dominic West and Elizabeth Debicki are also new as the then Prince Charles and his soon-to-be ex-wife Princess Diana, with Lesley Manville appearing as the Queen’s sister, Princess Margaret, and Olivia Williams as Camilla Parker-Bowles.
