The Crown has shared its final ever trailer ahead of the second part of season six landing on Netflix. The royal series, which returned last month with its first four episodes in the final chapter, will return to the streaming platform on 14 December, jumping ahead to the turn of the millennium.
The final five episodes pick up where part one left off – which depicted the death of Princess Diana (played by Elizabeth Dubicki) and her then-partner Dodi Fayed (played by Khalid Abdalla) – but soon move forward in time to the early 2000s.

Part two will focus on Prince William and Prince Harry's adolescent years, Williams's early romance with then-girlfriend Kate Middleton, and Queen Elizabeth II's upcoming Golden Jubilee.
Eagle-eyed fans will have also spotted a returning cast member in the trailer. Claire Foy and Matt Smith, who played Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip respectively in the first two seasons of the Peter Morgan-created drama, are seen in the trailer in flashback scenes while Imelda Staunton as an older Queen Elizabeth II looks back on her life and reign.
The synopsis for season six part two reads in part: "Still coming to terms with his mother's death, Prince William heads back to Eton amidst an increase in attention from young female fans touched by his plight.

The Crown season five recap

The Queen's 'Annus Horribilis' was in 1992 following a fire at Windsor Castle, and the breakdown of two of her son's marriages.
- An intercepted phone call makes the news
A phone call between Prince Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles was intercepted by journalists and published in a newspaper.
- Panorama Interview
The infamous and now suspect Panorama interview with Princess Diana by Martin Bashir aired much to the royal family's dismay.
Meanwhile, part one of season six dropped on Netflix in November which depicted the final few weeks of Princess Diana's life before she was tragically killed in a car crash in Paris. The third episode showed Diana and Dodi being hounded by French paparazzi while they made their way through Paris before the crash occurred in a tunnel.
© NetflixPeter Morgan spoke of the episodes and opened up to Variety about how they were "never" going to include scenes about conspiracies surrounding Diana's death.
"This was never going to be a story about how did she die? The police inquiry sorted all that out. We were never interested in that. It was always about, what was the impact on the family before and after her death? What was the truth of the nature of her relationship with Dodi Fayed?"
