The Crown season four review: Diana and Thatcher feature in a fine account of the era

You don't have to be a fan of the royals to enjoy season four of Netflix drama The Crown, a tale set in the years  1977-1990
The Crown season four review: Diana and Thatcher feature in a fine account of the era

Josh O'Connor and Emma Corrin as Prince Charles and Princess Diana in season four of The Crown. 

Season four of The Crown arrived with a regal level of hype, and the tough task of having to accommodate some huge characters and era-defining events. Princess Diana, Margaret Thatcher and Queen Elizabeth herself are all to the fore for a fourth series that looks like it will become the biggest so far.

As well as the Diana-effect, a resurgence of interest in the tale is probably down to the fact that the ten episodes cover 1977 to 1990, a momentous period that falls within the living memory of many of the Netflix show's viewers.
