EASON five of The Crown has already been sending out shockwaves since well before its release on Wednesday. After the death of Queen Elizabeth II in September, the show's previous seasons rocketed to the top of Netflix's most watched list but this particular season is a thorny one to land at a time of raw emotion around the royals. We've reached the nasty Nineties, a real low point for the Firm, including 1992, the year the late Queen famously referred to as her "annus horribilis". So who will feature, and what scandals and conflicts are we going to see played out on screen?
The Glums
Goodness knows how many episodes of this season are going to be dedicated to 1992 because a lot happened. The then Prince Charles and Diana (Dominic West and Elizabeth Debicki) finally threw in the towel after years of "trying to make it work" - but it was clear to the public by then that Charles hadn't been trying that hard. Andrew Morton's Diana: Her True Story was released in May of that year, stuffed with details of his affair with Camilla, sourced from recordings made by Diana herself. The couple stuck it out for a few months after the book's release but on an official trip to South Korea that November they looked so grim at their public engagements that they were x nicknamed "the Glums" by the press.
They unsurprisingly announced their z separation a month later.
