The Crown Season 5 Storyline: What Can We Expect?
The Crown season four will be finished until the end of Margaret Thatcher’s time in Number 10 Downing Street in 1990. Season five will begin with a new decade and a new British Prime Minister, which is John Major.
John Major was the Prime Minister from 1990 till May 1997, which would prove a stopping point for season five if the show creator, Peter Morgan, now intends to cover Princess Diana’s tragic Paris car crash and death in season six, which actually took place in August 1997.
