The Crown season 5's explosive trailer teases royal family divided
Season 5 of the royal drama arrives on Netflix in November.
Netflix has released the first full trailer for The Crown season 5, giving fans of the royal drama a sneak peek at Imelda Staunton's debut as Queen Elizabeth II.
The new season of Peter Morgan's drama will see a new cast take on the roles of the royal family, with Jonathan Pryce as Prince Philip, Elizabeth Debicki as Princess Diana and Dominic West as Prince Charles.
Season 5 is set to follow Queen Elizabeth II as she approaches the 40th anniversary of her accession, dealing with the challenges of the collapsing Soviet Union and the transfer of sovereignty in Hong Kong, while Prince Charles pressures her to allow him to divorce Princess Diana.
"Rumours circulate as husband and wife are seen to live increasingly separate lives and, as media scrutiny intensifies, Diana decides to take control of her own narrative, breaking with family protocol to publish a book that undermines public support for Charles and exposes the cracks in the House of Windsor," Netflix teases.
