Major twist in store for final season of The Crown
The release date for the sixth and final season of The Crown has finally been announced, with royal fans everywhere marking their calendars for the last instalment of the royal drama.
The hit Netflix series will be returning to screens on November 16th, but the final season of the show is set to come in two phases.
On November 16th, four episodes of the show will be available to stream, and will follow Princess Diana, played by Australian actress Elizabeth Debicki, in the last year of her life.
Her final days will be explored, including her death in Paris in 1997.
Then, the final part of the series will be available to stream from December 14th, and will pick up from the mid-2000s, as her children Prince William and Prince Harry deal with the aftermath of their mother's passing.
"Prince William tries to integrate back into life at Eton in the wake of his mother's death as the monarchy has to ride the wave of public opinion," a synopsis for part two says.
"As she reaches her Golden Jubilee, the Queen reflects on the future of the monarchy with the marriage of Charles and Camilla and the beginnings of a new royal fairy tale in William and Kate."
Royal fans were delighted to wake up to a new teaser trailer for the sixth and final season of The Crown that was posted on social media overnight, with the post already racking up over 90,000 likes.
The 46-second teaser was released showing Imelda Staunton as Queen Elizabeth II walking through Buckingham Palace before appearing on the famous balcony.
All three actresses to play the late Queen appear in the trailer, including Claire Foy and Olivia Colman.
"The crown is a symbol of permeance. It's something you are, not what you do," the voice of Foy says.
"Some portion of our natural selves is always lost. We have all made sacrifices. It is not a choice. It is a duty," Colman can be heard saying.
Finally, it ends on Staunton who says, "But what about the life, I put aside? The woman I put aside?"
