The snapshot of the drama’s fourth season, which is set in the Eighties, reveal a string of dramatic scenes.

Reflecting the stormy decade which was to come - for the royals and for British politics - a voice is ominously heard saying: “Here is the stuff of which fairy tales are made -- the prince and princess on their wedding day. But fairy tales usually end at this point with the simple phrase ‘They lived happily ever after.’
“This may be because fairy stories regard marriage as an anti-climax after the romance of courtship. This is not the Christian view. Our faith sees the wedding day not as the place of arrival, but the place where the adventure really begins.”
The trailer for the show, which is available on November 15, also shows more images of the Princess of Wales in her iconic wedding dress.
It sees her happily dancing around the royal palaces - at one point performing pirouettes in a tutu - and getting a rock star reception on tours abroad.

But The Crown trailer also shows how much it will explore her marriage crumbling, as Charles became increasingly jealous of her fame, and remains heartbroken that he couldn’t be with his true love, Camilla Parker-Bowles.
The prince is also seen later quarrelling with his father, the Duke of Edinburgh, played by Tobias Menzies, 46, around the time of the funeral of Lord Mounbatten, who was murdered by the IRA in 1979, aged 79.
And Helena Bonham Carter, 54, is seen playing an increasingly desperate Princess Margaret, who has just divorced her husband, Lord Snowdon, at the start of the new series.
