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. Olivia Williams joins them as Camilla Parker Bowles, and Jonny Lee Miller will appear as Prime Minister John Major.

Several scenes in Seasons 3, 4 and the upcoming Season 5 of “The Crown” have all been shot in Spain while the sixth and final one, which starts shooting in late August, promises to be the show’s “largest investment in Spain in terms of time,” says independent producer Martin Harrison, one of the key producers behind the award-winning series for Sony backed London-based shingle Left Bank Pictures.

It’s hard to believe that it’s been 70 years since a young Princess Elizabeth first became Queen Elizabeth II in 1952. Following the death of her father, King George IV, her Coronation took place over a year later in June 1953.
