Inside the Tower of London Season 5 Episode 1 Spoilers
During the opening episode, The Tower was preparing for its most ambitious installment ever in September 2021. In honor of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee, the Tower of London will introduce a brand-new natural wildlife habitat dubbed Superbloom into the ancient moat.
Superbloom is a massive project that would need to spread 10,000 tonnes of soil inside the moat to plant 20 million seeds in time for the Platinum Jubilee weekend in June 2022. Tracy describes how Henry put Cromwell in the Tower to await death after years of devoted devotion because he blamed Cromwell for his unfortunate marriage to Anne of Cleves.

This priceless ceremonial artifact, embellished with thousands of pounds of silver, is used by Her Majesty the Queen to kick off the Platinum Jubilee festivities for the entire nation.
Thus the Tower must keep it safe and secure until it arrives at Buckingham Palace. Tracy Borman, the principal curator of Historic Royal Palaces, traces Thomas Cromwell’s ascent and decline as Henry VIII’s most aspirational prime minister.
