Netflix’sThe Crownis back, and it’s the stuff “of which fairytales are made.” Until the “happily ever after” part is over, of course.

The Crown Season 4 Trailer
Set between 1977 and 1990, season 4 ofThe Crowngives as much focus as you’d expect on Princess Diana, the young bride of Prince Charles whose arrival in the royal family is the stuff of fairy tales. But as the ominous trailer teases, the splendor will soon give away to the kind of stiff upper-lipped misery we’ve come to know from Netflix’s award-winning royal drama. Even more so with the looming presence of Margaret Thatcher, Britain’s first female prime minister.
The Crownseason 4 follows Queen Elizabeth (Olivia Colman) and her family as they become preoccupied with safeguarding the line of succession by securing a bride for Prince Charles, still unmarried at 30. The fourth season also delves into the divisive policies introduced by Britain’s first female prime minister Margaret Thatcher (Anderson), with whom tensions rise with the Queen.
