How Much of "The Crown" Season 5 Actually Happened?

In "No Woman's Land," Princess Diana meets heart surgeon Hasnat Khan while visiting Royal Brompton Hospital to be with her friend, Oonagh Toffolo. After a few chance meetings, the two agree to see "Apollo 13" at the cinema, and Princess Diana wears a dark wig and trench coat to avoid being recognised in public.
In real life, the Princess did wear different disguises at points, with Vogue UK writing, "Diana did, in fact, wear dark wigs and sunglasses when venturing out with Khan in his Chelsea neighbourhood or queuing with him outside jazz clubs." Princess Diana and Khan had a two-year relationship, from 1995 to 1997, until she started dating Dodi Fayed in the summer of 1997.
