Yahoo News The Crown new look at s4's Princess Diana and Margaret Thatcher
Roll out the red carpet for The Crown season four's newest teaser images.
The latest photos feature a new look at Pennyworth actress Emma Corrin as Princess Diana and Gillian Anderson as Britain's first-ever female Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher, following brief glimpses of both in the trailer.
Taking place in the late '70s and early '80s, season four of the Netflix historical drama finds Olivia Colman's Queen Elizabeth II "preoccupied with safeguarding the line of succession by securing an appropriate bride for Prince Charles (played by Josh O'Connor), who's still single at 30."
Meanwhile, Thatcher's divisive political policies bring about a tense relationship with the Queen, as she leads the nation into the Falklands War.
The Crown season 4 will also see the return of Tobias Menzies as the Queen's husband and consort Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh.
Helena Bonham Carter also returns as Princess Margaret, alongside Erin Doherty as Princess Anne, plus Emerald Fennell as Camilla Parker Bowles.
Charles Dance is also back as Philip's uncle Louis Mountbatten (Earl Mountbatten), and Ben Daniels as Anthony Armstrong-Jones (Lord Snowdon).
Season 4 will include Charles and Diana's wedding, as well as their tour to Australia and New Zealand in 1983, plus the birth of their sons Prince William and Prince Harry.
Corrin recently spoke about the reaction when she walked out on set wearing a replica of Diana's iconic wedding dress, a scene which very briefly featured in the trailer for season 4.
"I had a team of about 10 people helping me put it on, because it's massive," she said. "I walked out and everyone went completely silent. More than anything else I wear in the series, it's so... it's her."
And Josh O'Connor, who plays Charles, has promised "thrilling" moments ahead as the series charts the royal couple's tumultuous relationship.
We already know some of the key cast members who will be joining The Crown for its last two seasons.
Imelda Staunton will portray the Queen, alongside Jonathan Pryce as Prince Philip, with Lesley Manville as Princess Margaret and Elizabeth Debicki as the late Diana, Princess of Wales.
The Crown is available to stream now on Netflix, while seasons 1 and 2 are also available on DVD and Blu-ray.
