The new season will chronicle the Queen during the early 1990s.
The fifth season will pick up where the fourth season left off — the early 1990s. According to Variety, it is expected to document the queen’s year of "annus horribilis" in 1992, when the royal family faced numerous scandals, including the separation of Prince Charles and Diana; the report of an affair between Charles and Camilla Parker-Bowles; the publication of topless sunbathing photos of Sarah Ferguson; and a catastrophic fire at Windsor Castle. Producers have yet to confirm or deny whether the upcoming season will incorporate Princess Diana’s death in 1997. However, Staunton will reportedly stay for two seasons, portraying the queen into the early 2000s during the sixth and supposedly final season.More Related News
