What’s going to happen in The Crown series 5?

The Crown series 5 will reportedly detail the crumbling relationship between Prince Charles and Princess Diana.

There’s no word yet on whether the series will cover the late Princess’s tragic death.

However, it’s expected that the series will chronicle the lead-up to that terrible incident.

Lest we forget, series four showed what happened in the 1980s to the royal family.

And series 5 will follow the tumultuous 1990s, a decade in which three of the Queen’s four children separated from their partners.

And will we see what happened in 1995, when Diana appeared on the BBC’s Panorama programme with Martin Bashir?
