‘The Crown’: Dominic West & Elizabeth Debicki On Recreating Charles & Diana’s Explosive Divorce

Out with the old and in with the new is a now familiar part of “The Crown” and its rotating cast, serving as a reminder of how rich the existing British acting pool is with its slew of recognizable faces. This series can also make careers as Emma Corrin and Vaness Kirby were launched into the stratosphere after her breakout performance as the young Diana Spencer and Princess Margaret.

EXCLUSIVE: Prasanna Puwanarajah said he jumped at the opportunity to appear in The Crown portraying infamous television journalist Martin Bashir, pummeled by a BBC inquiry that condemned the “deceitful” methods he used to obtain the controversial 1995 Panorama TV interview with Princess Diana, because ”roles like that just don’t really exist for Asian actors.”

Acknowledging the king! Dominic West ran into Queen Consort Camilla while filming The Crown — and she greeted the actor in a surprising way.

Close friends of the late Princess Diana have slammed The Crown as the Netflix show plans to depict the moments leading up to her death.

The first trailer of Season 5 of The Crown has dropped and it explores chaos unfolding within the monarchy and Princess Diana's explosive BBC interview with Martin Bashir.

It’s been a minute since “The Crown” season four, two years to be exact, which was almost an entire pandemic ago, but Peter Morgan’s acclaimed Netflix series finally returns in November. Season four was set between 1979 and 1990, is set during Margaret Thatcher’s 11-year run as prime minister, and also introduced Lady Diana Spencer into the series.

Elizabeth Debicki and Dominic West are speaking out about filming season five of "The Crown" and what it was like to recreate some of the royal family's most iconic moments from the 1990s.  Debicki and West took over the roles of Princess Diana and Prince Charles from Emma Corrin and Josh O'Connor respectively, who played the prince and princess in season four.  Season five picks up the story in 1992, the year the two announced their separation, and showcased the royals as they tried to carry on with their lives. Much of their lives post-separation was highlighted in the media through interviews or paparazzi pictures, something Debicki was grateful for.

Zack Sharf “The Crown” creator Peter Morgan and his new cast members Elizabeth Debicki and Dominic West are standing up for the Netflix drama series against continued claims that it exploits the royal family. The show, which launches Season 5 in November, has come under renewed scrutiny following the death of Queen Elizabeth II. The new season will cover some of the royal family’s most tumultuous years in the 1990s, including the bitter and highly-publicized divorce between Charles (West) and Diana (Debicki). Last month, Britain’s Daily Telegraph published a report with the headline: “‘The Crown’s’ decision to show ‘all-out’ war between Charles and Diana raises concerns at Palace.” In the article, a friend of the newly-crowned King Charles slammed the Netflix series as “exploitative” and accused Netflix of having “no qualms about mangling people’s reputations,” even that of Queen Elizabeth despite her recent death.

Netflix has released some new images of Season 5 of The Crown, including character posters with the tagline “A House Divided,” revealing a split between the two sides.

The Night Manager actress Elizabeth Debicki takes over the iconic role of Diana from Emma Corrin while The Wire star Dominic West takes over the role of Charles from Josh O’Connor. However, it has been claimed that staff working on The Crown series six have allegedly been left feeling uncomfortable over the Netflix show's plans to recreate Diana's final moments as they fear "a line has been crossed".

The next series of The Crown is set to be released on Netflix on November 9 and will detail the Royal Family’s lives for the first half of the 1990s. Series five will largely focus on the breakdown of the marriage between Princess Diana and the then Prince Charles, which will include the controversial Panorama interview, according to reports.
