Crystal's theory (as I understand it) is that there was little difference in pronunciation between classes. The greater difference would have been vocabulary.

Regional dialects have always varied significantly and it is really a vain effort to think we can impose one true historical pronunciation upon the whole of the past. This is rather like the absurd notion among (non-Italian) singers that there is one correct pronunciation of historical Italian. My hypothesis is that the primary reason for war is because people just can't understand what other people are saying.

Applying that to Shakespeare (and his contemporaries) he has come up with a reasonable hypothesis as to the Early Modern English dialect of the 16th and 17th centuries.
