Sovereign Diana and the strange Thatcher in an overwhelming fourth round with the British Royal Family.
“The Crown”, sesong 4
British drama series in 10 parts
On Netflix from Sunday, November 15 (all season)
Creators: Peter Morgan
Med: Olivia Colman, Josh O’Connor, Gillian Anderson, Tobias Menzies, Emma Corrin m.fl.
Then we finally started with the main course.
The fourth season of the saga of the UK’s Elizabeth II regime features both British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and Princess Diana herself.
The two actually met in the jubilant second episode. There Thatcher stumbles and Diana wins the royal family’s Balmoral test. In other words, an unspoken valuation of various family members at the Scottish mansion, which is also the summer residence of the British regent.

Those who know the story know that Balmoral is central in several ways to Diana’s story.
Series creator Peter Morgan’s partner Gillian Anderson makes Margaret Thatcher awkwardly dramatic, almost comical in tenacious movements and her decline does not. At the same time, it manages to bring out the somewhat aggressive bitterness and insatiable work ethic that Thatcher supposedly had. With few exceptions, his policy is unproblematic.
As you know, being real is not about politics.
Newcomer Emma Corrin is great as Diana Spencer and manages to add something fun and vibrant to the castle, barn, and living room. Once again, various narrative liberties of guys big and small are taken, so that personal near-tragedies suddenly coincide with the outbreak of the Falklands War. Or that Diana has Duran Duran’s “Girls on Film” in her ears as she skates through Buckingham Palace (it came out just two weeks before the wedding). By the way, the costume department has done an exceptional job recreating more or less all of Diana’s iconic outfits. .

Josh O’Connor makes Prince Charles equally iconic, in his gross obsession with himself, his record-breaking humor, and his constantly skewed approach to reality. As well as behaving like a pathetically spoiled hothead, rather than the most hesitant young man he became last season.
The queen herself, still magnificently managed by Olivia Colman, has more than ever the role of reason. Be it an adviser to the Prime Minister or your own sister. And that she only becomes elusive and averse to conflict when reality gets too close to her life.

Helena Bonham Carter is as fantastic as the bastion of decadence, Princess Margaret, where she vaporizes cigarettes, drinks with both hands, and has almost no other role than to be despised and rude. Not in that order necessarily. Before he suddenly has an episode “of his own” that focuses on several of the royal family’s challenges. With pressure on the family.
It doesn’t go equally well with all the main characters, and in fact, this decade could have easily been featured in more than twenty episodes. Because it is precisely here, when the royal house begins to falter in the foundations, where “La Corona” shows its most generous moments.
