The Crown’s Princess Margaret actress Lesley Manville looks glamorous in a sparkly black dress

The Crown series five finally arrives on Netflix on Wednesday, much to the delight of fans.

And the stars of the show were in attendance for the London premiere on Tuesday night, including Princess Margaret actress Lesley Manville.

The beauty, 66, cut a glamorous figure in a sparkly black dress as she arrived in style on the red carpet at the Theater Royal Drury Lane.

Clinging to her silhouette, the flattering dress featured pretty sheer detailing at the top and striking bejeweled sleeves.

She increased her height with matching satin heels and accessories with perfect silver jewelry as she posed up a storm.

Lesley wore her red locks in her classic cropped style and opted for natural makeup to show off her features.

Also at the premiere were Diana actress Elizabeth Debicki, King Charles actor Dominic West, and Prince Harry and William stars Will Powell and Timothee Sambor.

With season five of The Crown described as “Hollywood-scale trolls,” there has been an avalanche of backlash surrounding the Netflix show and its “insensitive” portrayal of the royal family in the 1990s.

Created and written by Peter Morgan, The Crown has been a hit for Netflix since it was first released in 2016, with the main characters regularly rearranged to follow the ages of royalty in their respective timelines.

Fan hunger for the show is stronger than ever, with viewers counting down the days for the series launch, even as it has been criticized for sensational events and fictional scenes.

With the previous two seasons of The Crown spanning the three decades before the 1990s, the entire team has now been recast for the 13-year period from 1990 to 2003 of this series.

The new series focuses heavily on the fallout between Princess Diana, played by Elizabeth, and King Charles (then Prince of Wales) as portrayed by Dominic, and will show some lows for the royals.

Season five of The Crown will be released on Netflix on Wednesday, November 9 at 8am GMT.

There will be 10 episodes in the season in line with the previous four seasons and they will all be released simultaneously on the streaming platform.

Season five episodes are titled: Queen Victoria Syndrome, The System, Mou Mou, Annus Horribilis, The Way Ahead, Ipatiev House, No Woman’s Land, Gunpowder, PAAR 31, and Decommissioned.

All past episodes of The Crown are now available to watch if you’d like to refresh your memory for the season five launch.

With the previous two seasons of The Crown spanning the three decades before the 1990s, the entire team has been recast for this series’ 13-year time frame from 1990 to 2003.

Queen Elizabeth II is now played by Imelda Staunton, following in the footsteps of Olivia Colman who took on the role for seasons three and four and Claire Foy who played the monarch in the first two seasons.

Other big names taking part in the new season include Dominic, who plays Prince Charles, and Lesley, who plays Princess Margaret.
