Fans are eagerly waiting for Season 5 of Netflix’s The Crown, a series that dramatizes the life story of the late Queen Elizabeth II. With its continuously changing cast and plot points, the series now enters the 90s with the focal point being the dissolution of the marriage between Prince Charles, now King Charles III and Princess Diana, who was lovingly dubbed 'The People’s Princess'.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Pryce, a fan of the series himself, has followed it from the beginning. He revealed that he was “delighted and very happy,” to be cast in the series and for the opportunity to be reunited with Imelda Staunton, who is taking over the role of Queen Elizabeth II from Olivia Colman. He said, “the great thing was, Imelda had already been cast, so I knew who was playing the Queen and I was really happy it was Imelda.
Speaking about Prince Philip, the actor revealed that all he really knew about him “is what I read in the newspapers, and it's never very flattering.” So when he got involved in the series he discovered new aspects of the late Prince’s personality. He elaborated, “And then to do the research, and obviously Peter's done the research, and [you] discover that he was nothing like the man you thought he was. He was an intellectual, highly intelligent, [he had a] great interest in everything, scientific or things to do with the natural world, and a man with a great sense of humor, and a great deal of compassion, and a wonderful loving relationship with his wife.
