The Crown Season 5 Plot

The Royal Family has entered the 90’s and with that, questions about how they fit into changing society. Queen Elizabeth II is coming up on 40 years since her accession, and must deal with the collapse of the Soviet Union and changes in Hong Kong.

“Prince Charles pressures his mother to allow him to divorce Diana, presenting a constitutional crisis of the monarchy,” reads the Netflix description. “Rumours circulate as husband and wife are seen to live increasingly separate lives and, as media scrutiny intensifies, Diana decides to take control of her own narrative, breaking with family protocol to publish a book that undermines public support for Charles and exposes the cracks in the House of Windsor.”

Viewers will be introduced to billionaire department store owner Mohamed Al-Fayed, his son Dodi and Dr. Hasnat Khan, with whom Princess Diana was in a secret relationship with before her death.
