On September 2, 2022, Deadline broke the news that, following an exhaustive casting process, The Crown had cast the roles of Prince William and Kate Middleton for Season 6. When you’re media fodder, what sells a newspaper is everything,” says Debicki, “but it was always personal for her. Four monarchs (crowned and uncrowned); one abdication; one royal investiture; a jewel box of jubilees and many, many royal marriages. Imelda Staunton—best known for playing Dolores Umbridge in the Harry Potter series as well as her Oscar-nominated role in Vera Drake—will succeed Olivia Colman for Season 5.
In 1992, the late Princess broke with tradition spectacularly by collaborating with Andrew Morton on an autobiography detailing the failure of her marriage (although she denied her involvement upon publication).The Queen’s Golden Jubilee, the erstwhile Prince Charles’s second marriage to Camilla, and Kate Middleton’s explosion into the public consciousness after meeting William at St Andrews. The Crown in Vogue is an extensively illustrated tribute to the 70-year reign of Queen Elizabeth II and to the British Royal Family from the pages of British Vogue. On 22 June, Netflix also confirmed that Amir El-Masry, the Egyptian actor who dazzled critics in 2020’s Limbo, would be playing a younger iteration of Mohamed Al-Fayed. A tabloid hell of phone tapping, heart-shattering affairs, manipulation and misery, Diana’s story follows the brutal end game of her marriage, her clandestine collaboration with Andrew Morton on the bombshell bestseller Diana: Her True Story in 1992 and – in the series’ standout episodes – the alarming tale of how, in 1995, the BBC and its reporter Martin Bashir secured her notorious Panorama interview. Hasnat, a heart surgeon, is a distant cousin of Jemima’s ex-husband, former professional cricketer and Pakistan’s former prime minister Imran Khan.
With that in mind, series five is likely to begin in the early ’90s and end somewhere in the middle of that decade. Netflix also previously released a 33-second glimpse of the fourth series, including a first look at Emma Corrin as Diana, Princess of Wales. As you will know, discussions between the monarch and prime minister are entirely private and – for Sir John – will always remain so.
The early series’ perch on history, grandiose and distant, has gone and we are now in the gnarly ’90s.
