First look at Princes William and Harry in new series of The Crown

Fans of The Crown have been treated to their first glimpse of Princes William and Harry along with mum Princess Diana in season five of the show.

New pictures show actress Elizabeth Debicki, who plays the role of Diana, filming scenes with two young boys, who play the brothers.

They were snapped at Ardverikie Estate in Scotland, which doubles as the Queen's Balmoral estate in the hit Netflix show.

Elizabeth, who takes on the role of Diana from Emma Corrin, can been seen with short blonde hair and wearing a pair of blue jeans, a pink shirt and a navy blue blazer.

The youngsters playing her sons were pictured walking next to her, also wearing jeans and rugby shirts.

Season five of The Crown is set to cover the period of the early 90s and will tell the story of Diana's marriage to Prince Charles breaking down.

The new pictures come just days after Netflix gave fans a sneak peek inside the new series with a stunning picture of Imelda Staunton dressed as The Queen.

The very first image of Imelda, who is taking over the role from Olivia Colman, was unveiled on social media last week thrilling fans.

Alongside the image, television bosses simply wrote: "An early glimpse of our new Queen Elizabeth II, Imelda Staunton."

Other well-known actors that have been cast for series five of the show include Claudia Harrison, who will play Princess Anne, and Theo Fraser, who will take on the role of Anne's husband Timothy Laurence.

It has also been revealed that James Murray, best known for starring in Cutting It, will star as Prince Andrew, taking over from Tom Byrne.

The Two Popes star Johnathan Pryce will portray Prince Philip and is taking over from Tobias Menzies.

New characters in the next season will include Prime Minister John Major and Leader of the Opposition Tony Blair, who will later become Prime Minister.

The Crown season five will be released on Netflix in 2022 - and the drama has proved controversial with its historical accuracy called into question.

However, Prince Harry confessed earlier this year he has watched the show - and says it is more accurate than people think.

During an interview with James Corden, he explained it is "loosely based on the truth."

He added: "They don't pretend to be news, it's fictional but it's loosely based on the truth.

"Of course it's not strictly accurate, but loosely, it gives you a rough idea about what that lifestyle, what the pressures of putting duty and service above family and everything else, what can come from that.

"I am way more comfortable with The Crown than I am seeing the stories written about my family, or my wife or myself."
