The dramatic backdrop of Windsor Castle ablaze was certainly an attention grabbing introduction to The Crown season five, which has just dropped on Netflix. Omid Scobie – Yahoo UK’s royal executive editor – takes us through the huge financial costs of repairing the historic palace and all the controversy surrounding it: from who was to blame for the catastrophic fire in the first place to who would end up footing the bill for the massive restoration project. Scobie explains how the fire changed accessibility to the Queen and her homes forever, and the continuing debate around how much funding the public should contribute to the Royal Family.
