Netflix has made a change to their release schedule regarding Prince Harry and Meghan Markle‘s documentary series.

EXCLUSIVE: Rattled after attacks on Season 5 of The Crown, Netflix has decided to postpone its documentary series featuring Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, until next year.

The new series of The Crown is just weeks away, and fans are gearing up for what promises to be a rollercoaster season for Netflix’s flagship royal drama. The series explores the life and reign of the late Queen Elizabeth II, and its fifth and penultimate season follows the royal family during one of their most turbulent decades in modern times, the 1990s.

Sir John Major has branded 'The Crown' "damaging and malicious fiction". The former Prime Minister - who will be played by Jonny Lee Miller in the upcoming fifth season of the Netflix drama series - insisted he has "never been approached" by producers to discuss the scenes planned for the show and hit out a storyline depicting then-Prince Charles (Dominic West) lobbying him to join a plot to urge Queen Elizabeth (Imelda Staunton) to abdicate. The 79-year-old former Conservative leader insisted there was "never" such discussions between himself and Charles during his time as Prime Minister.

Netflix’s "The Crown" has released new photos for season five of the hit series, which included a first look of the new cast.  The fifth season will star Imelda Staunton as Queen Elizabeth II, Jonathan Pryce as Prince Philip, Dominic West as Prince Charles and Debicki as Princess Diana.

President Joe Biden, First Lady Jill Biden, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his wife Sophie attend the funeral of Queen Elizabeth on Monday (September 19) in London, England.

When Queen Elizabeth II died, it’s fair to wonder how much her family members gained as part of their inheritance. As heir to the throne and the next Duke of Cornwall, Prince William’s net worth is particularly interesting.

Around 500 world leaders and dignitaries have been invited to Queen Elizabeth's funeral on Monday (19. 09. 22).

King Charles will not have to pay tax on his inheritance from his late mother The Queen - although the new monarch has voluntarily agreed to continue following in his mother’s footsteps and paying income tax on his growing fortune. Unlike members of the public that have to navigate the murky world of inheritance tax when a loved one dies with an estate valued more than the £325,000 threshold, the King is exempt thanks to a clause agreed in 1993 by then Prime Minister John Major.The little known clause scrapped the 40% levy when inheriting sums over £325,000, but only when the inheritance was being passed from “sovereign to sovereign”.
