The Miners' Strike Holds The Government Hostage | The Crown (Olivia Colman, Jason Watkins)
As Prince Charles's romance with Camilla complicates life inside the palace, a national crisis brews outside. A defiant coal miners' strike for fair pay escalates, with the union holding the nation's power supply hostage. Prime Minister Edward Heath (Michael Maloney) refuses to negotiate, leading to a state of emergency: government-mandated power cuts. This clip captures the tension and chaos of the blackouts, a symbol of a nation's fraying nerves, which plunges even Buckingham Palace into candlelight and forces the Queen (Olivia Colman) to question her new government's cold, unyielding stance. ðSeason 3, Episode 9: Imbroglio Watch The Crown Now: http://AAN.SonyPictures.com/TheCrown Some of the links in above are affiliate links, we may earn a small commission if you click through and make a purchase. ðŽThe Crown (2016â2023): Follows the political rivalries and romance of Queen Elizabeth II's reign and the events that shaped the second half of the 20th century. ðĐ The Second Act Awaits.
