The Crown’s Princess Diana actress Elizabeth Debicki stunned on the red carpet in a black gown as she was joined by her co-stars for the premiere of the upcoming season five.

The new series is going to see a variety of new faces enter the fray, with Imelda Staunton taking over from Olivia Colman as Queen Elizabeth II following the release of season 4 in November 2020.

Meanwhile, Dominic West will play then-Prince Charles, joined by Olivia Williams as the future Queen Consort, Camilla.

The Crown series 5 will cover the tumultuous 1990s, including the divorces of Prince Charles and Diana, Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, and Princess Anne and Mark Phillips.

The upcoming series has so-far been embroiled in controversy, with Dame Judi Dench labelling it ‘crude sensationalism’, while former Prime Ministers Sir Tony Blair and Sir John Major have also slammed the show.

Elizabeth takes over from Emma Corrin, who played the Lady Spencer in previous seasons, while Josh O’Connor then played Prince Charles.

Inspired by real events, the fictional dramatisation tells the story of Queen Elizabeth II and the political and personal events that shaped her reign.

During the upcoming season, in which the Royal Family are presented with their biggest challenge yet as the public openly question their role in 90s Britain, the Queen approaches the 40th anniversary of her accession.

In scenes that air from tomorrow, Imelda stars as the late monarch reflecting on a reign that has encompassed nine prime ministers, the advent of mass television, and the twilight of the British Empire.

The series, which will be the show’s penultimate, will see Dominic’s Prince Charles pressure his mother to allow him to divorce Diana, as he and Camilla grow closer.

Rumours circulate the royals as the 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.’

Things turn even more tense when Mohamed Al Fayed, played by Salim Daw, arrives on the scene.

The synopsis reads: ‘Driven by his desire for acceptance of the highest order, he harnesses his self-made wealth and power to try and earn him and his son Dodi (Khalid Abdalla) a seat at the royal table.’
