The upcoming fifth and penultimate season of “The Crown” will tackle what is arguably the biggest royal scandal of the 20th century, the bitter, scorched-earth divorce of Charles and Diana.

The Crown is shooting Season 6 of the Netflix series and will not be showing Princess Diana’s car crash that ultimately ended her life. Deadline has independently confirmed that the collision would not be recreated for the series.

Zack Sharf Judi Dench wrote an open letter to The Times UK criticizing Netflix’s “The Crown” for being “cruelly unjust” in its depiction of the British royal family. The Oscar winner stressed that she supports artistic freedom, thus she’s urging Netflix to add a disclaimer to each episode stressing to viewers that the show is a fictionalized account of historical events. “The closer the drama comes to our present times, the more freely it seems willing to blur the lines between historical accuracy and crude sensationalism,” Dench’s letter reads. Dench’s letter was published ahead of “The Crown” Season 5 launching on Netflix in November. The new episodes cover some of the royal family’s most tumultuous years in the 1990s, including the bitter divorce between Prince Charles (Dominic West) and Princess Diana (Elizabeth Debicki).

Elizabeth Debicki and Dominic West are speaking out about filming season five of "The Crown" and what it was like to recreate some of the royal family's most iconic moments from the 1990s.  Debicki and West took over the roles of Princess Diana and Prince Charles from Emma Corrin and Josh O'Connor respectively, who played the prince and princess in season four.  Season five picks up the story in 1992, the year the two announced their separation, and showcased the royals as they tried to carry on with their lives. Much of their lives post-separation was highlighted in the media through interviews or paparazzi pictures, something Debicki was grateful for.

The Crown have rejected criticism that the series is "exploitative" of Britain's royal family following the death of Queen Elizabeth II.

Season five of The Crown will finally drop on Netflix on Wednesday 9 November and the latest instalments certainly come at an interesting time for the Royal family. As Charles and Camilla settle into life as King and Queen Consort, the hit series will throw the spotlight on a fictionalised depiction of Charles' relationship with Diana.

Nearly two and a half years after Josh O’Connor declared “The Crown” would not include Prince Charles‘ infamous “Tampongate” phone call with Camilla Parker Bowles, it’s now been confirmed it actually is happening, and it’s O’Connor’s successor, Dominic West, who spilled the tea.
