'The Crown' Star Claire Foy Returns as Queen Elizabeth in Season 4
Claire Foy returns for a brief appearance in season 4. The actress who won an Emmy for her portrayal of the royal on Peter Morgan’s historical Netflix drama reprises her role in the episode “48:1,” which finds the Queen (Olivia Colman) at odds with Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher (Gillian Anderson) over her refusal to cooperate with commonwealth leaders and back sanctions against South Africa’s apartheid regime. While season 4 spans from 1979 to 1990 with Colman returning for her second season as an older version of the Queen, episode eight starts with a flashback set in Cape Town, South Africa, on her 21st birthday.
