The Crown season 4

On 15 November 2020, Netflix released the 4th season of The Crown. 

It was on a grey, rainy Sunday, during the Lockdown in Belgium.
That's why I  really wanted to get up early and to put the television on.





The Crown the Series


The 4th season of the series The Crown counts 10 episodes from around 1 hour
per episode. 

It is about the years 1977 till 1990 and includes Diana, Princess of Wales
and Margaret Thatcher as well. It also includes Prince William and Prince Harry.
It covers the tour in Australia of the Prince and Princess of Wales and much more.

The new series of the Crown maintains a lot of drama and it showed that the
lifes of royals aren't always a fairy tale.

Review

Although "The Crown" has a lot of fiction, I really enjoyed the series. I'm born in 
1979, so  I don't remember exactely all the historical events which are shown.  
With, of course, keeping in mind it's fiction.

I especially like the authors who played

- Margaret Thatcher played by Gillian Anderson

 and Princess Margaret played by Helena Bonham Carter.



 Princess Margaret and Lord Snowdon with Lyndon B. Johnson and 

Lady Bird Johnson at the White House in 1965. 



In the series Charles, the Prince of Wales is a bit pathetic and Diana, Princess of
Wales is psychologically disturbed. But that's the view of the makers of The Crown.
The real royals won't tell what happened in reality either. 


I hope new seasons will follow soon! It brings some light in the darkness.
