Series 6 was originally supposed to conclude in 2002, it being the year the Queen lost her sister Princess Margaret as well as her mother – but 2005 is now set to be the new end date.

And this will be with the wedding of Charles and Camilla, ‘marking the start of an era’.

Numerous momentous events occurred for the Windsors beyond 2005, including ‘Megxit’, the scandal surrounding Prince Andrew, and the passing of the Queen’s ‘strength and stay’ Prince Philip.

A TV insider said: ‘It’s a small but significant shift because it’s seen as marking the start of an era which becomes more focused on Princes William and Harry and their father.

‘The marriage of Charles and Camilla is treated like the end of one turbulent period in the Windsors’ story, and the start of a whole new one.’
