The more “The Crown” approaches recent events, the more they’re criticized for adding flavor to their “historical” drama.
Made up of ten episodes, the fifth season explores Princess Diana and Prince Charles’ slowly unraveling marriage. The controversial Panorama interview is replayed in all its glory, with Elizabeth Debicki as Princess Diana copying the real-life
Diana’s emotions and expressions as she tells the story of how the firm has turned against her. We see William (Rufus Kampa) take a central stage and plead with his mother to refrain from sharing private moments of her life. When she doesn’t heed her son’s pleads, William is shown looking dejected among his school friends at Eton.
Another striking part of the series was when William and younger brother Harry (portrayed by Will Powell) witness their parents’ intense argument during a holiday in Italy. When Charles leaves Diana in tears gain, the two young boys move in to comfort her. The future heir, Charles (played by Dominic West) is the character the fifth season focuses on mostly as he’s portrayed as a man mean to his wife and as the instigator of a “rival court” in the hopes of getting his mother, the Queen, to step down decades before her death.
