Netflix has released the official trailer for Part 1 of the sixth and final season of The Crown, the end of the royal saga that has been on the air since 2016.
“Don’t really understand how I ended up here,” a pensive Diana (Elizabeth Debicki) is heard in a voiceover at the beginning of the trailer. “Dashing around …. and destroying myself in the process. I believe that’s been the story of my entire life.”

The first four episodes follow the blossoming relationship between Princess Diana (Debicki) and Dodi Fayed (Khalid Abdalla) before a fateful car journey that claimed both of their lives.
The trailer follows their growing relationship leading up to the fateful crash and the aftermath of shock and grief at the Palace and worldwide.
Per Netflix’s description: 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.
The Crown is created and written by Peter Morgan, who executive produces with Suzanne Mackie, Andy Harries, Stephen Daldry, Matthew Byam Shaw and Robert Fox.
Season 6 cast includes Imelda Staunton as Queen Elizabeth II, Jonathan Pryce as Prince Philip, Lesley Manville as Princess Margaret, Dominic West as Prince Charles, Elizabeth Debicki as Princess Diana, Claudia Harrison as Princess Anne, Olivia Williams as Camilla Parker Bowles, Bertie Carvel as Tony Blair, Salim Daw as Mohamed Al Fayed, and Khalid Abdalla as Dodi Fayed.
Since its launch in 2016, The Crown has been nominated for and won multiple awards, including 15 BAFTA nominations, 10 Golden Globe Nominations (including 4 wins), 69 Emmy Nominations across 5 seasons (with 21 wins across 4 seasons) and more.
Part 1 of Season 6 of The Crown premieres November 16 on Netflix, followed by Part 2 on December 14.
