The Crown

Season Four

This is one of Netflix’s original shows. This is where we meet Princess Diana and Margaret Thatcher in the first few episode. Very interesting women.

Meeting Diana was not what I had expected. Prince Charles is not the nicest person and didn’t even want to marry her. In all the movies we have seen, it made it look like they were so in love. Well, this show reveals he only marries her because of his father and mother. His family thought she would be the best pick for him over Camilla. It was a rushed proposal and took Diana by surprise. She knows nothing about him and he knows nothing about her. Diana’s secret is also revealed. The family thinks they will grow to love and care for each other over time. Charles is only thinking of Camilla.

Margaret Thatcher is not what I imagined either. She is a very strict to the book person. She is only interested in work and getting everything right. The best part about her so far was when she fired her entire cabinet. She hired new fresh faces from the old angry men she had when she first got the job. She brought them in her office one by one and fired them. She has a soft spot for her son Mark over her daughter, Carol. Mark went missing in the Sahara Desert for six days and she was devastated as most mothers would be. The two are twins but she says out loud the Mark is her favorite. She sees her daughter as weak and wants her to toughen up.

So far, those are the two characters that are interesting. I’m sure more Princes and Princesses will be introduced in this season. Try the show; start from Season One.
