World News – UK – The Crown Season 4 official trailer released

According to the new footage, released Thursday, October 29, the new season of Netflix’s royal drama will focus on two key elements of royal history

Part one of the trailer shows a glimpse of Queen Elizabeth (Olivia Colman) and her relationship with new Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher (Gillian Anderson)

« Two women running the shop, that’s the last thing this country needs, » Prince Philip (Tobias Menzies) tells Elizabeth, only for the Queen to answer: « Maybe it is precisely what this country needs »

However, there is a clear tension between the two rulers, with Thatcher telling the Queen that she is the older of the two.

“It’s a dangerous game to make enemies left, right and center,” Elizabeth tells the conservative politician “What if we’re comfortable with enemies?” Thatcher responds

The second half of the trailer shows Prince Charles (Josh O’Connor) being told that he will be king in the future and that he has to choose a woman « that people will love as princess and, when the time comes, as queen ”

Fans next discover a young Diana Spencer (Emma Corrin) dancing and rollerblading as Prince Charles’ future wife, with the Queen grappling with Diana’s free nature and her refusal to bow to the rules

« All I want is to be loved, that’s all we want from you, » Diana tells Elizabeth in tears as she looks stony

The monarch is then told that « in time, [Diana] will give up her fight and fold, as they all do »

“And if she doesn’t bend, what to do then?” asks the Queen, prompting the response: “She’s going to break up” from Princess Margaret (Helena Bonham Carter)

Season four of The Crown will mark Colman’s last outing as Queen, with Imelda Staunton set to play her in seasons five and six
