Controversial, gripping and Royal: Drama intensifies in the next season

'The Crown season 4'  will revolve around Queen Elizabeth and her struggles to maintain the balance between her private and public life.

The fourth season is based on the events of late 1970s when she was pressurised with securing the successor of the British throne. Prince Charles was still unmarried at the age of 30, and soon they needed to find him an appropriate bride.

The season will showcase the tension between Queen Elizabeth and Britain's first woman Prime Minister, the dynamic Margaret Thatcher. The latter's divisive policies and her plans on waging the Falkland wars further cause a strain in their political relationship. This also ignites conflict within the Commonwealth, making matters worse for the Queen.

Romance blooming between Prince Charles and Lady Diana

Charles' romance with a young Lady Diana Spencer (Emma Corrin) provides a much-needed fairytale to unite the British people.

Princess Diana will make her first appearance.

Princess Diana will make her debut in Season 4, played by up-and-coming actress Emma Corrin. In a statement released by Netflix, the elated actress avers, "I have been glued to the show since the first episode and to think I'm now joining this incredibly talented acting family is just surreal. Princess Diana was an icon, and her effect on the world remains profound and inspiring. To be given a chance to explore her through Peter Morgan's writing is the most exceptional opportunity, and I will strive to do her justice!"
