The first trailer for Season 5 of 'The Crown' promises 'the beginning of the end' for its depiction of the members of the British royal family.
Netflix dropped the trailer on Oct. 19, less than a month beforeThe trailer begins with the devastating 1992 fire at Windsor Castle, as Queen Elizabeth II says in a voiceover,"In light of the events of the last 12 months, perhaps I have more to reflect on than most."
1992 was the queen's self-described"annus horribilis," where along with the fire, the then-Prince Charles and Princess Diana, as well as Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, announced their separations. Princess Anne's divorce from Captain Mark Phillips was also finalized in 1992. The trailer, set to a haunting version of The Verve's"Bittersweet Symphony," gives a glimpse of Princess Diana in off-the-shoulder black dress — nicknamed the"Revenge Dress" — which she wore to a gala the night Charles admitted on national television had had been unfaithful.
Further on in the trailer, Diana prepares to sit down for the now-controversial interview with the BBC's"Panorama."Elizabeth Debicki portrays Princess Diana in Season 5 of "The Crown.""I don't think it's my behavior that's threatening its survival," the queen says as Charles appears to wave at Camilla outside of the palace."You, as future king, have a duty," she says.
