The next series ofThe Crownis set to be released on Netflix on November 9 and will detail the Royal Family’s lives for the first half of the 1990s.
Series five will largely focus on the breakdown of the marriage betweenPrincess Dianaand the thenPrince Charles,which will include the controversial Panorama interview, according to reports.
A source close to thePrince of WalestoldThe Telegraphthat the Prince had made his feelings “very clear” about it and that The Crown’s depiction will be “met in the way you would expect”.
Palace sources have suggested that William feels the streaming platform is profiteering from the dramatisation and exploitation of his mother’s struggles, reportsExpress.
OK! has reached out to the Prince of Wales for comment.
The teaser clip for the new series shows Dominic West playing Charles, and Diana, played by Elizabeth Debicki, preparing for their bombshell television interviews about their marriage.
The clip features the voice of a fictional television reporter calling the situation “all-out war” as Charles’ interview with Jonathan Dimbleby covers the moment he admitted to his affair with Camilla Parker-Bowles.
In May 2021, William issued a personal statement from Kensington Palace to condemn the interview in which he said the interview should “never be aired again”.
He noted that there was no legitimacy to the interview which brought him “indescribable sadness” knowing that it contributed to his mother’s sense of “fear, paranoia and isolation”.
In 1995, Princess Diana sat down for an explosive tell-all interview with Martin Bashir for the BBC – something that was hidden from Palace officials before its broadcast.
She famously lifted the lid on Charles and Camilla's affair when she said: "There was three of us in this marriage so it was a bit crowded".
Her answer was in response to Martin asking her: "Do you think Mrs. Parker-Bowles was a factor in the breakdown of your marriage?"
The interview was watched by 22.8 million people and within a month of its broadcast, the late Queen Elizabeth II is said to have written personally to Charles and Diana and advised them to officially divorce.
Diana died in a car accident in Paris less than two years later, leaving behind her two young sons, Prince William who was 15 at the time, and Prince Harry who was 12.
Charles went on to marry Camilla in 2005, and upon the death of the Queen on 8 September, Charles automatically became King and Camilla the Queen Consort – a request of the Queen's just a few months before she passed away.
