Dominic West will play Prince Charles, Elizabeth Debicki will portray Diana, and Olivia Williams is taking on the role of Camilla Parker Bowles, who is now queen consort.

In a clip, a news bulletin is heard saying: "There's uproar in Britain after Prince Charles bared his soul to the nation, but the Princess of Wales upstaged her husband speaking about her marriage, her life and her future." It alludes to Diana's 1995 interview with "Panorama" where she said famously said "there were three of us in this marriage." It referred to Charles’ relationship with Camilla.

King Charles and Princess Diana's failed marriage is expected to be chronicled in Season 5 of ‘The Crown’.

"It is my understanding that the palace has devised a plan to fight any misinformation or fiction with facts," Kinsey Schofield, royal expert and host of the "To Di For" podcast, told Fox News Digital.

"Expect King Charles and Queen Consort Camilla’s friends to speak out on their behalf.

A friend of the king told The Telegraph that Netflix would have "no qualms about mangling people’s reputations." The unnamed source also labeled the show as "exploitative.".

A palace source told the outlet that with Charles and Camilla now being king and queen consort, viewers will have "more of an opportunity to compare the real people with the fiction they see in ‘The Crown.’".

A spokesperson for King Charles, 73, told Fox News Digital "no comment.".
