The Crown Furore
Two weeks ago, The Crown returned to Netflix for its fourth season. The new series covers the years between 1977 and 1990, and inevitably depicts the premiership of Margaret Thatcher, as well as the marriage of Prince Charles to Princess Diana. Olivia Coleman returns for her final outing as Queen Elizabeth before she is superseded by Imelda Staunton. Tobias Menzies, Helena Bonham Carter and Josh O’Connell reprise their respective roles from the previous season. They are joined by Gillian Anderson and Emma Corrin, who play Prime Minister Thatcher and Lady Diana Spencer respectively.
