Take a look at what series four of The Crown has in store for us
The fourth series of The Crown returns to Netflix this Sunday – with some new members of the cast, we take a look at what to expect from the new season.
Emma Corrin bears a striking resemblance to Diana, Princess of Wales in first-look images from the fourth series of The Crown, and Gillian Anderson is playing Margaret Thatcher.
The actress can be seen wearing a strapless floor-length purple gown with a gold pattern and matching scarf as she is accompanied by Josh O’Connor as the Prince Of Wales to an event where they are greeted by photographers.
