The fifth season already made some headlines in advance. The background is fears that the series could affect the reputation of the new King Charles III. (73) harm. According to The Sun, the new episodes of The Crown will reportedly unearth “every painful detail” of Charles’ marriage to the late Princess Diana.
The episodes will delve into “some of the most intimate aspects” of the broken marriage in the early 1990s. The then Prince of Wales was allegedly portrayed as “petty, cold and insidious”. Such allegations were made when season four was released two years ago. The fictional TV show sees Charles repeatedly breaking out of his marriage to Diana and fleeing to his mistress Camilla Parker Bowles.
Charles and Diana, who married in 1981, separated in 1992 and divorced in 1996. Lady Di died in a car accident a year later. In 2005, Charles married Camilla Parker Bowles (75), who has been king’s consort since his accession to the throne.
