The hectic's, Margaret Thatcher, Lady D, the court scandals and the Falkland War. The fourth season of "The Crown" is richer than ever

&quot;The Crown&quot; Season 4 Trailer

In view of the arrival of the highly anticipated fourth season of &quot;The Crown&quot; , broadcast on Netflix starting from November 15th , we have moved forward and not to be caught unprepared.

To frame this fourth season are the 80&#39;s of the Iron Lady Margaret Thatcher and the iconic Lady Diana, the cruel clashes with the IRA and the widespread difficulty of a working class forced to deal with unemployment and the recession . And again: There is talk of the war fought against Argentina for the control of the Falklands alone , the rampant conflicts within the Commonwealth and the countless scandals that suffocate the Crown.

It is a dangerous season given and given the proximity to the viewer&#39;s historical memory : The confrontation with a pop culture icon like Diana and the delicate matter of her biography are absolutely inevitable. Peter Morgan , the creator of the show, skilfully penetrates the innermost folds of the characters of Carlo (played by Josh O &#39;Connel ) and Diana (played by Emma Corrin ) and manages to avoid ending up in a hagiography as perhaps we would have imagined. and as I believe, most of us had also hoped. In addition, the similarities, even physiognomic, are incredible.

Although Spencer is granted the status of an injured party, Lady D. is not portrayed simply as the poor innocent victim of a harmful marriage. Moreover, the screenwriter also does the same with the characters of Philip (played by Tobias Menzies ) and Princess Margaret (played by Helena Bonham Carter ): although the difficult life conditions of these characters are highlighted, often forced to canceling oneself to live for the Queen (played in this fourth season by Olivia Colman ), just like the planets revolving around the sun, you don&#39;t just focus on this side of the coin. At the same time, Morgan does not fail to underline how these characters are characterized by excessively individualistic and insensitive egos. This fourth season then highlights another fundamental theme: the eternal conflict between conventions and modernity that continues to recur since the first season, in which until the last we were left with bated breath waiting to know the verdict of the Queen about the marriage of her sister Margaret to Peter Townsend , a man much older than her and above all divorced. A union that was finally denied in order to avoid causing an irremediable conflict with the Church.

&quot;How many times can this family repeat the same mistake?&quot; is the question that Margaret herself poses: in the face of choices destined to change the face of the Monarchy forever, the Princess wonders how long she will continue to challenge the modernity of the times in the name of respecting a tradition that is gradually fading increasingly. Lady Diana and Charles arranged marriage? Does Camilla Parker-Bowles accept her fate by convention? True love triumphs with a bitter taste in the mouth ...

To get the answer to this question and many other doubts and curiosities we just have to wait with a little patience for another two days and get ready to do some healthy binge watching of the new season.
