The Crown - Season 05 [Blu-ray]

Product Information

In the run up to the general election of 1997, New Labour - under the leadership of Tony Blair - are way ahead in the polls. But Blair's modernising ideas include getting rid of the Royal Yacht, Britannia - a vessel very close to the Queen's heart. When Blair wins with a landslide, it becomes clear Britannia is to be decommissioned which devastates the Queen but Charles sees an opportunity to align himself with the new PM and start to forge a future with Camilla by his side. What none of them sees is the threat hurtling towards them all when Diana accepts Mohamed Al Fayed's offer to join him and his family on a summer holiday in St Tropez.

Netflix confirmed as part of its TUDUM event today (September 25) that the next season will hit the platform in November 2022. The Crown writer Peter Morgan said: " The Crown is a love letter to her and I've nothing to add for now, just silence and respect. I expect we will stop filming out of respect too." In an interview with The Times, screenwriter, producer, and friend to Princess Diana, Jemima Khan claimed she'd left a consulting role on the show, because she was uncomfortable with the way Diana's final years were being portrayed. The Crown Season 5streams from Wednesday, and there was a lot of controversy about whether Netflix should put off showing this new season until… well, a random amount of time passes, a suggestion being made for January. This is because the Queen has only recently passed away.It was really important to me that the final years of my friend's life be portrayed accurately and with compassion, as has not always happened in the past. The Trainspotting and Elementary star will play the British prime minister, who was elected in 1990. It remains to be seen if Tony Blair, who followed him in 1997, will feature.

In 1953, Elizabeth launches the Royal Yacht Britannia. In 1991, Elizabeth and Philip make a two-week cruise aboard the ageing Britannia while Charles and Diana travel to Italy for what is seen as their second honeymoon. Diana is annoyed that Charles has invited his cousins Norton and Penelope Knatchbull to join them; even more so when Charles cuts the holiday short due to a "diary conflict." A Sunday Times poll reveals that half of the British public favours Elizabeth, seen as having been on the throne for too long, abdicating so that Charles would become king. Elizabeth meets the new Prime Minister John Major at Balmoral Castle and asks the government to fund renovations to Britannia. Major agrees despite admitting his reluctance. Philip, Charles, Diana, and Margaret talk to Major during the Ghillies Ball, each confiding their troubles. Major later tells his wife Norma that the Royal Family's situation threatens the country's stability. Filming on 'The Crown' Resumes in Spain Following Queen Elizabeth's Death". People .
