Series five of The Crown will return to our screens very soon with a whole new cast set to take on the crucial roles.
The Netflix hit-show has a return date of November 9 (Wednesday) which comes just days after another hit show, I'm A Celeb, is set to also return with it coming back on November 6 (Sunday).
However whilst there are many memorable scenes that we can expect to come up, the series, according to the Express, will show 'tampongate' which involved Charles and Camilla.

The scene will be shown "sympathetically" as a moment between "two young lovers". The infamous phone call between the couple in 1989 was recorded by an amateur radio fan who claimed to have come across the conversation while moving between audio channels.
During the phone call, which took place while the couple were both married to other people, then-Prince Charles told Camilla he wanted to be reincarnated as a tampon so he could "live inside" her.
The audio and transcript of the six minute conversation was published by a tabloid and was later brought back up again in 1993 following the announcement of Charles and Diana's separation.
Netflix bosses said the moment would be depicted "sympathetically as two young lovers", however, there has been controversy over the "crass" decision made in "bad taste", according to The Telegraph.
Josh O'Connor, who played a young Prince Charles in series three and four of the show, said he would not film the phone call. He told SiriusXM in 2020: "When they offered me the role, one of my first questions was – I say questions, I think it was pretty much a statement – "We are not doing the tampon phone call".
"[The Crown] was my one chance for my parents to see something [I've acted in] with no shame and there's no way I was going to scuttle that by talking about tampons on Netflix."
Dominic West, who will take up the mantle of playing Charles in the new series, said he previously felt the phone call was "sordid and deeply, deeply embarrassing" but had now changed his mind.
He told Entertainment Weekly: "Looking back on it, and having to play it, what you’re conscious of is that the blame was not with these two people, two lovers, who were having a private conversation.
"What’s really [clear now] is how invasive and disgusting was the press’s attention to it, that they printed it out verbatim and you could call a number and listen to the actual tape. I think it made me extremely sympathetic towards the two of them and what they’d gone through."
His co-star Olivia Williams, who will play Camilla, also expressed her sympathy for the couple, with both actors wanting to "do right" by the now-King and Queen Consort.
A spokesperson for Netflix told The Telegraph that The Crown "has always been presented as a drama based on historical events".
The spokesperson added that series five "will cover events that have already been widely documented by journalists, biographers and historians", reports the Daily Mail.
