The Sex Education actor, who plays Conservative prime minister Margaret Thatcher in Netflix’s historical drama, marked series four’s release on Sunday by sharing a series of new photos to Instagram. The Crown series four debuted on Netflix this weekend, with fans meeting Anderson’s Thatcher for the first time as the politician came face to face with Queen Elizabeth II. However, her appearance left many fans conflicted, with one viewer tweeting: “Having a hard time separating my hatred of Margret Thatcher, to my hard crush of Gillian Anderson.” “If anyone needs me today I’ll be having several conflicting emotions about Gillian Anderson in the Crown,” another viewer tweeted.
