Imelda Staunton portrays Queen Elizabeth in the programme's fifth season, and Jonathan Pryce plays Prince Philip. As portrayed by Elizabeth Debicki and Dominic West, Princess Diana and Prince Charles were shown in the brief teaser at the ceremony getting ready for separate TV appearances about their divorce. Extreme close-ups of both are shown in the promotional video, while the audio of the British news report regarding Buckingham Palace's announcement of their divorce is read aloud.

As the TV cameras begin to film, several statements stressing their "Broken Marriage" are heard, including "All Out War" and the "Princess of Wales upstaging her husband." Emma Corrin and Josh O'Connor's portrayals of Diana and Charles in Season 4 previously addressed the highs and lows of their early marriage.

Showrunner Peter Morgan insisted that the series has been a "love letter" for Queen Elizabeth II despite the monarch's untimely demise. According to rumours, Season 6 filming was just suspended out of respect for the late Queen.

The announcement has left fans super excited, who were quick to flood the comments section with requests, urging makers to release a trailer soon. While one of the fans wrote, “WE NEED A TRAILER", another comment read, “Give me the trailer NOWWWWWW!"

Harry Potter’s Professor Dolores Umbridge will take over as the Queen. In September last year, the makers shared a video revealing her look as the Queen when they also announced that season 5 will premiere in November 2022. However, back then, the release date was not disclosed.
