The official trailer for part one of the final series of The Crown has been released and it depicts a relationship blossoming between Princess Diana and Dodi Fayed before a fateful car journey has devastating consequences.
Part one of the final season of the hit royal drama about the reign of Elizabeth II will debut on Netflix on 16 November, with part two to follow in December.
According to the official release about the new episodes from Netflix, "In their first Summer as a divorced couple, Prince Charles and Princess Diana share very different holidays with their sons.
"Diana is being courted by the Fayeds in the South of France, giving the young Princes a taste of luxury yachts, video games and movie nights. Charles is sticking to tradition in Balmoral. The comparisons play out in the press, fuelled by a fervent paparazzi, and some of the Royal press team.
"As yacht life and the constant media scrutiny loses its appeal, Diana longs to return to see her boys, who are back in Balmoral. A diversion to Paris sees matters come to a head - against the backdrop of an intensified and aggressive media pursuit.
"After the news breaks of Diana and Dodi's fatal car accident, a vast outpouring of public grief catches the Queen off-guard. With shockwaves resonating through the Palace, Al Fayed is also processing the loss of his cherished son. Hoping that the news will bring him and the Royal Family together in shared grief; he instead finds himself increasingly shunned.
"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. 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 fairytale in William and Kate."
Since arriving on Netflix in 2016, The Crown has been nominated for and won multiple awards, including 15 BAFTA nominations, 10 Golden Globe Nominations (including four wins), 69 Emmy Nominations across 5 seasons (with 21 wins across four seasons) and more.
