Cultural anthropologists have observed that the new series of The Crown being released has prompted some surprising responses in a previously understudied group – socially outcast women under the age of 25. 

This previously introverted demographic have attracted attention in recent weeks after the rise of so-called “Palace Porn” – which tends to have a heavier narrative than typical erotica, generally focussing excessively on Diana’s experiences as a social outcast and her thoughts on “cottagecore”, before ending with some perfunctory missionary in front of a cardboard cut out of the Eiffel Tower. Ann Summers are thought to be working on a “sexy sadgirl” range in order to capitalise on the zeitgeist.

Ever since the premiere of series 4 of The Crown, corresponding  trends have also included a rise in the number of pixie cuts hairdressers are unwittingly being forced to perform, the publication of an unauthorised encyclopedia entitled “how to attract men with quirky knitting patterns”, and a series of online Zoom classes run by an opportunistic Palace insider, “adult roller skating for solo beginners”.

Experts say that while the Diana self-insert kink seems harmless enough, they worry about series 5 of The Crown having a similar impact on the sexual economy, given the centrality of Prince Andrew to the series.
