The penultimate season of The Crown is just weeks away, as Netflix’s flagship royal drama nears its conclusion. Season five is arguably the most anticipated yet, as it is set to tackle dramatic divorces and tabloid scandals.
This will be the first season of the show following the deaths of Queen Elizabeth II and her husband Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. The series has attracted controversy since the death of the late monarch in September, with some slamming the creators for airing the series so soon after her death.
On Friday, Lady Victoria Hervey voiced her concerns on ITV’s Good Morning Britain, saying the new series comes “too soon” after the Queen’s death and criticising it as “insensitive.” Regardless of its perceived insensitivity, the show is a big hit for Netflix, with the streaming giant eager to release the series on its platform next month.
