But anyone who works on the show has a sense of how extremely difficult it is to be born into that [life],” she continues. Comparisons to the royal world seem almost impossible and yet she wonders if the reason the show attracts so many top actors is a shared sense of lost self. “The rules are sort of decided for you as well: less is more. Although, of course, Diana broke that rule. She broke the fourth wall, reaped the benefits, but the consequences came hard and heavy.”

The photographs included are simply stunning. There were several that took my breath away. Some of my favorites were of Princess Margaret. She was so stunning and photogenic. Princess Anne also had some beautiful portraits included. Limited edition print of Princess Elizabeth, 1948, photographed by Cecil Beaton, taken from the original Vogue archive transparency (B396-6) never before published by the magazine.

Vogue's first star photographer, Cecil Beaton, was entranced by the House of Windsor and the admiration was mutual. A younger star photographer, Antony Armstrong Jones, left Vogue to marry the Queen's sister and returned as Lord Snowdon. The Queen's cousin, Vogue's Lord Lichfield proved an insightful photographer of royal style along with many of Vogue's fashion photographers including Horst, Norman Parkinson and David Bailey. But one of my biggest guilty pleasures is the British royal family. I just think that the whole system is fascinating and I love seeing all the glitz and glamour. So when I happened to see this on the shelf at work at Barnes & Noble one night, I knew it was something I was going to want to look through. The next installment of Netflix’s big-budget, awards-laden original series is expected to cover the early to mid-1990s, a period in which the marriage of Prince Charles and Diana, Princess of Wales, was rapidly disintegrating.

I won't be rating this book because it is mostly a collection of photographs with very limited text featured and I don't feel like it is easy or fair to give it a star rating. What a fabulous book - a must for any royal watcher! It's elegant, stylish and gloriously illustrated. I didn't want it to end. I loved the original and innovative approach to the subject, and the new insights I gained. I cannot recommend it highly enough.' Alison Weir I also loved that along with the photos, the book would include some side notes of the history of the family and vogue along with the corresponding photographs. In response, a spokesperson for The Crown described the latest installment of the show as “a fictional dramatization, imagining what could have happened behind closed doors during a significant decade for the royal family—one that has already been scrutinized and well-documented by journalists, biographers and historians.” Expect yet more controversy to follow once the season airs. What will the costumes in The Crown Season 5 look like?It was an immense privilege to spend time looking through these extraordinary original images. If they were distressed, torn, or marked up in crayon, then so much the more fascinating. These were historical objects, every tear and blemish a witness to the royal century. At this point, The Crown has launched the careers of several of Britain’s most respected young actors, with casting directors Nina Gold and Robert Sterne renowned for finding little-known talents capable of morphing into the Windsors on screen in a way that verges on uncanny. Take Emma Corrin, who joined Peter Morgan’s series as Diana, Princess of Wales fresh out of Cambridge University with only a handful of small parts to their name. “It was like: ‘One day I want to go to the moon – that would be fun,’” they told British Vogue of the surreality of auditioning for the gig in the magazine’s October 2020 issue. Within a year, they would have scooped a Golden Globe for their performance. The final season of The Crown will take the series from the late ’90s to the early 2000s, encompassing the tragic death of Princess Diana in 1997. Who will play Princess Diana and Prince Charles in Season 6 of The Crown? Laser-printed on semi-matte professional photo paper, the exclusive 12x8" print comes stored in an acid-free wallet.
