The Crown: Netflix adds final sixth season to cover 1990s royal drama - BBC News

Netflix has said its epic royal drama The Crown will continue for a sixth season after all - although it still won't catch up with more recent events.

The decade included the break-up of Prince Charles and Princess Diana, the collapse of Prince Andrew's marriage to Sarah Ferguson, the devastating fire at Windsor Castle, and the death of Diana, Princess of Wales - which plunged the Royal Family into crisis

The TV drama may also incorporate the deaths of Princess Margaret and the Queen Mother, seven weeks apart, in 2002

Netflix also recently revealed that Oscar-nominated actress Lesley Manville will join series five as Princess Margaret - a role previously played by Helena Bonham Carter and Vanessa Kirby

The fourth series is currently in production and will see the introduction of Diana, played by Emma Corrin, and Margaret Thatcher, played by Gillian Anderson
