Was it really necessary to change the entire cast every season?

Particularly between season 4 and 5…
With as advanced as we are with special effects and as easy as it is to just throw on a wig even, it seems totally unnecessary to me. The difference in age progression when they changed the cast between seasons 4 and 5 was extreme.
We know that not that much time had passed between the two seasons (in the terms of years. We can see that, by the fact that Diana’s boys were young in season 4, and then probably middle school aged in the next, but they had aged the royal family in the next season with the new characters by at least 25+ years! Some lighter hair a few crows feet would have been just fine. 😆 The switch in characters just seemed completely unnecessary, and the difference in their ages was absurd if they felt the need to do it.
