Making Of THE CROWN Season 5 - Behind The Scenes With Elizabeth Debicki & Dominic West | Netflix

[@lawrencetsiu2001]

Debicki just gives me goosebumps. So elegant, so magnificent ..so.. enchanting. What a performer.

[@MischievousMischief]

Nobody portrayed Diana so perfectly as Debicki.

As the episodes went on, I hate to say this, but at some points Diana reminded me of Paris Hilton. Her eyes and the low way she spoke especially.

[@rhondaflowers3824]

😮 OMG thought it was just me 😮

[@maryhurst4663]

As an American, I have always found the fascination with the British Royal family very curious. However, one would have had to live under a rock not to be aware of Princess Di. I cannot imagine how difficult it would be to never be able to step outside your home without dozens of photographers shouting and taking photos of your every move. Prince Harry talks about how it traumatized him from an early age and even more so after his mother’s death. I watched all of The Crown and throughly enjoyed it. But my question remains one which was eluded to in the show….why is the Monarchy still relevant? The Royals have amassed a huge fortune, yet all British citizens contribute to their upkeep.

[@westaussie965]

Exactly! They’re worth billions, it’s ridiculous

[@cozmarine7771]

Most young British people want the monarchy dismantled. I agree poor people here suffering as the rich elites languish in quite obscene and overpriviledged luxury. As you say billions

[@irefi64]

They all did a great job. Some did not resemble their characters very much, but most still captured their essence pretty well. 'Diana' was magnificent. At times it was like watching and listening to the real person. 'Charles' gave a very feeling portrayal, which I thoroughly enjoyed. I like the real Charles, and his positive aspects and the challenges he endured were very well illuminated. Camilla was excellent as well. Apart from the parts that are clearly fake, the Royals need not worry too much about people turning off them as a result of these portrayals. I think they were all sympathetically handled. I would have liked to see Fergie, James Hewitt and more of Andy in action, though. All the false stuff should have been left out to make room for more juicy details that were actually true.

[@joaquinescotoaleman4320]

I have the impression that Peter Morgan not only hate Fergie, but he doesn't respect her at all!!! He hates Thatcher, but a least he respect her enough, to give her a great part in Season 4, with Fergie is just nothing!!!

[@Oglulubell]

Whoever is playing Camela is a dead ringer for her.

[@jenniferhughes6057]

Andy in action. The mind boggles

[@kasialeparska2480]

I loved the show! Very well done❣️👍

[@leafuller3153]

It makes me want to cry - I think Diana was ready to grow beyond Charles & the marriage as it was. Such a shame - what happened. I believe they could have come to some arrangement & she could have continued her work with the Royal Family. Her children were the real losers in the end.

[@artboxfashion4042]

What is amusing is....they are famous for the ability to wave. They don't play music, or sing, or dance. They just show up and WAVE. Crowds cheering, long lense photographers to capture the perfect moment when a hand catches the light and movement and everyone is bedazzled and cheers and smiles. It's truly a unique talent to wave.

[@irinryan8114]

royalties, not entertainers.

[@romancandle416]

No, they are famous because British monarchy is an institution that stretches back over 1200 years.

[@tokenspirit1548]

Hum, hum! You got That wrong! Charles does, the Queen was a great dance, as they all are. "Ability to wave'? what flamin' BS that it!

[@simoneshlomi3869]

Awesome Cast and very talented!

[@ioanabugan7166]

They've tried to portray all the characters in such a way to make you say "they're all human"...And they've tried to balance the story, to keep a focus on the Crown and not necesarily on what happened only between Charles and Diana. Divorce is not an easy thing, it is messy...But I feel they could have done a better job in portraying her side. At times, I felt the message that was being sent out is that she is not reasonable, that she is exaggerating her grief, etc. whereas Charles and Camillas's reactions and struggles were perfectly fine

[@irefi64]

I think it was a pretty fair portrayal, going by all the information available at the time and since then.

[@robynvince1135]

She wasn't reasonable She was truly mentally ill, and a narcissist like her daughter--in-law, Megan

[@teapotrose2]

Nobody ever mentions Charles throwing a hammer at her head. Speaking of crazy.

[@ckl5590]

They’re were never really going to go after Charles. He is still alive unlike Diana, who they can paint as they wish with no repercussions. Charles is not an attractive man but the actor who played him was. I could tell by that casting alone they weren’t going to get real about Charles.

I'm sure Meagan will watch this season over and over again

[@kdmdlo]

I'm interested in seeing how they depict this time of the monarchy. It seems to me that Charles was just so insecure, immature, and selfish. Certainly, Diana was as well ... but he was on the inside of the monarchy and it was his job to fold her in. And he utter failed.

[@JM-zk9ou]

He should have been allowed to marry Camilla in the first place. Queen Elizabeth was allowed to marry the man she loved despite her family's concerns. Yet she denied her own sister's desire to marry the man she loved and the family pressured Charles to marry a woman he didn't love. Imagine being in a lousy marriage for more than a decade and not being able to get out of it. The entire royal family let Diana down.

[@kdmdlo]

@@JM-zk9ou I don't entirely disagree. But Camilla was, at that time, mixed up with Andrew Parker Bowles. It is entirely unlikely that she would have married Charles had he asked (pre-1973). Then she married him in 1973 ... some 8 years before Charles married Diana. So that door was closed. He needed to move on for 8 years and was simply too lily-livered to do so. This wasn't about the family not "letting" him marry Camilla ... she made her decision. Now, did the family pressure Charles ... sure. But they also knew him; they knew he would never stand up and make a decision ... preferring to languish in self-pity for the fact that Camilla got away (for 8 years!!!).

[@glen7318]

@@kdmdlo what nonsense. Charles remained close to Camilla but he had a busy life in the 1970s and had numerous girlfriends. how did he not move on?

[@kdmdlo]

@@glen7318 He continued "seeing her" ... meaning having a physical relationship with her throughout the 1970's. That's not my idea of "moving on". And, of course, he dated other women. How did those relationships work out? And, yes, Charles utterly failed Diana. Yes, Diana failed him, in some ways. But he's failure was both colossal and complete.

[@rhonddalesley]

I’m at somewhere around the halfway point of this season and am a little disappointed because it seems a bit disjointed and rushed at times. Even the dialogue seems too fast when the queen and Diana speak sometimes and they don’t sound like they’ve got quite enough plums in their mouths, some of the castings are a bit off for me too but I’m still hooked.

Charles pursued a woman (Camilla) who, at the time, he KNEW would be unacceptable as Queen. If he had nipped it in the bud, so to speak, he wouldn't have found himself in the later mess.

[@marj.antonius7016]

Such a weak man. Spoiled and selfish. Even towards Camilla, just look at the pen leaking tape. He just hands it over to her without considering for a moment that he is transferring the leaking ink to his wife. Very weird behaviour but Camilla somehow takes it well.

[@lirazdemasure936]

@@marj.antonius7016 I think that's a bit unfair to say, and I'm not his fan at all. When people have a long relationship they lean towards one another in moment of need. He lost his mother at the same week and at the same time he had to grief in front of the whole world- that's not easy. And he is the new king- that's a lot to digest. And I can tell you- when I lost my father- even when it wasn't a surprise- it was still very challenging. And I didn't have to stand in front of people or cameras. He treated Diana horribly, but he also was in a situation that was almost impossible to manage. When you don't love someone- you can't force ourself to do it.

[@marj.antonius7016]

@@lirazdemasure936 yes I agree , it must be torture to be stuck with someone you don’t love. Especially having to fake it for the whole world , for so long. I imagine his upbringing made him the way he is. I don t think he is a bad person … If I had people falling all over me and doing everything for me all my life , I would certainly feel entitled.

I don’t know why they cast Dominic West as Charles….he is far too good looking and his body is larger. Whereas all the other actors truly look like the Royal members they are portraying.

[@irefi64]

The 'Queen Mother' sure doesn't, and neither does 'Prince Philip.' I felt Dominic West gave a great performance despite not looking like Charles. It was so feeling and believable I soon forgot about the lack of resemblance.

[@victoriayarish4180]

I just want to ask Dominic West one question. Did he intentionally avoid mirrors when the thought popped into his head that he could play Charles?! Cause seriously, one look in the mirror should have changed his mind!

[@Beuclau2012]

I didnt like this season at all, it is slow and sort of boring. Also the actors do not resemble the characters, Charles, Diana, rhe Queen Mother, I dont recognize them. Another thing is that Diana loved both her children, and here they only show William, Harry was hardly mentioned once, as if he didnt exist

[@irefi64]

I agree about Harry being persistently left out in a most unrealistic manner. They need to leave their 2020's biases aside when writing scripts about the 90's.

[@teapotrose2]

I feel season 5 is the most inaccurate portrayal of the characters of all. Princess Diana is portrayed as man hungry and without empathy. She was known around the world for her compassion and empathy. How disrespectful to her memory. 😢

[@sketchtheparadigmyork1217]

That’s not how I felt they portrayed her… lol.

[@taroman7100]

I agree. Like every man she looks at she’s ready to pounce. She was more discreet. The actress playing her face is too bony.

[@glenmale1748]

She was no angel. And she played the photographers like a violin. Not much about her many, many collusions with her "favourite" snappers.

[@boulevard14]

She wasn't that innocent.

[@YaYa-ke1zr]

Well, a number of people who knew have said she was indeed kinda ‘man hungry’ at that point in time. If the season could have been longer, I think they would have rounded out her character more… but if they did that, they probably would have shown even more of her relationships with men (instead of just Hasnat and Dodi). It wouldn’t have looked good either way. But at least they showed her trying to move forward with her life. As for her empathy and compassion, perhaps they felt those attributes were well enough covered in the previous season.
