While Princess Margaret and Lord Snowdon visit the USA, the queen, at the bidding of Harold Wilson, asks them to make a side trip to Washington, D.C. to ask President Johnson for financial assistance for the United Kingdom. "'The crown' traces the life of Queen Elizabeth II from her wedding in 1947 through to the early part of the twenty-first century. Season three covers the time period between 1964 and 1977 ... . Beginning with Harold Wilson's election as the Queen's first Labour prime minister and ending with the Silver Jubilee of Elizabeth II, it follows pivotal moments such as the death and state funeral of Winston Churchill, the Aberfan disaster, the Apollo 11 moon landing and the investiture of Prince Charles as the Prince of Wales."-- Container.
