Here's your first look at The Crown's final six episodes

The grim affair known as The Crown’s final season isn’t over yet. Following the death of Diana, which anchored the previews and trailers for the first half of Netflix’s royal bio-series, the second half of The Crown’s sixth and final outing picks up on December 16 without her. But royal watchers far and wide don’t have to wait long for a sneak preview. The fine folks at Buckingham Palace Netflix publicity sent over some new images from the final six episodes of the show.

The first half of The Crown’s final season kicked off on Netflix on November 16, with the series’ much-hyped death of Diana episodes starring Elizabeth Debicki as the late princess. Diana’s story is obviously one royal watchers have waited years for the show to tell. However, the Diana-centric approach to the season overtook the proceedings, causing episodes to feel more like an obligation than the Elizabethan drama of the previous seasons.

With things moving forward to the mid-2000s and the storybook romances of Camilla and Charles and Kate and William, there’s a chance for the show to right the ship before it reaches its conclusion. And who is that ginger-haired prince? Ron Weasley? No! It’s teenage Prince Harry, years before he met his favorite Suits cast member became the most discussed royal in the family. All that, plus Tony Blair, is in store for these final episodes.
