He continued: “Mrs Thatcher was certainly, as Gillian Anderson well portrays, a woman of great ardour, but she was also respectful of constitutional rules.” The Queen's favourite child The fourth episode of The Crown sees Prince Philip tease the Queen by telling her it's clear she has a favourite child. Michael Fagan's Buckingham Palace break-in The fifth episode of The Crown’s new season is a fictionalised account of what intruder Michael Fagan spoke to the Queen about after breaking into Buckingham Palace in 1982. And it was such a good idea the two C’s but it wasn’t that clever.” The Bowes-Lyon sisters One of the new season's most surprising moments comes in the seventh episode, which sees Princess Margaret discover she has two “hidden” cousins. Diana dancing for Charles’ birthday The penultimate episode opens with a scene showing Diana surprise Charles by dancing to Billy Joel’s “Uptown Girl” at a private ballet gala – however, her husband is left embarrassed and furious with her actions.
