As the historical drama of The Crown creeped closer to the 1980s, it would eventually and obviously come to cover the tragic story of Princess Diana. This teaser for Season 4 gives viewers their first good look at actor Emma Corrin, who transforms into the People's Princess with the aid of some amazing costumes and wigs, and introduces Diana with a sense of foreboding using the real text of the then–Archbishop of Canterbury Robert Runcie's wedding address:
"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.'"
The teaser leans on the irony in these words, interspersing them with glimpses of Corrin in Diana's most iconic moments and the growing agitation of the royal family, conveyed in classic The Crown middle distance glaring.
The Crown Season 4 premiers on Netflix Nov. 15.
