The trailer which introduces Dominic West as King Charles lll and Elizabeth Debicki as Princess Diana, highlight the couple’s strained marriage and gives a blow by blow account of the poor treatment Princess Diana experienced within the royal family.
Prime Minister John Major (Jonny Lee Miller) attempts to put out political fires while Prince Philip’s affair is reported to also make up scenes in the upcoming season.
In an intense scene of the Princess’s breakdown, the character reflects: “People will never really understand how its been for me… I never stood a chance.”
The new season of “The Crown” releases on November 9.
"Elizabeth as Princess Diana already gives me chills. And Imelda as the Queen, well same as her Umbridge portrayal, I think I would love to hate her,“ said @MagiexMargo.
