“I really don’t want to contribute to all of this. It’s complicated and my speech will be taken out of context. And I think the book has received enough attention. I should be careful about this from here too, but I don’t think they should continue with the series. I’m in it and I loved my episodes, but it’s very different now.”

The fifth season of The Crown

The fifth season of The Crown was made available by Netflix in November 2022, two months after the Queen’s death Elizabeth II and the establishment of the successor, Charles, as king. The story takes place during the 1990s and touches on many controversial stories from when Charles was a prince and married to Diana Spencer.

The tone of the production in its new episodes divided opinions to the point that the cast itself came out in defense. As noted by indiewirethe prince’s interpreter philip, Jonathan Prycepointed out that the criticism may have arisen due to “a heightened sensitivity on account of the Queen’s death”. Lesley Manvillesuccessor of Helena Bonham Carter like princess Margaretcommented that the series “is not crossing the line”.

Allegations that the 5th season of the Netflix was “explorer” of the now king Charles prompted the cast to defend the series. Jonathan Pryce questioned whether the recent criticisms “arise because of heightened sensitivity over the Queen’s death” and Lesley Manvillewho took on the role of the princess Margaret in Cartersaid the series is not “crossing the line”.
