A new trailer for Netflix's new original The Crown -- also known as Downton Abbey meets Game of Thrones meets actual historical events -- is here!
The trailer gives us the bullet points of Queen Elizabeth's (Claire Foy) young life, including her marriage to Prince Philip of Edinburgh (Matt Smith) in 1947.
"The titles, they're not the job," Philip is told. "She is the job. Loving her, protecting her -- she is the essence of your duty." He struggles in the trailer to be wed to the most powerful woman in the world, but -- like his royal beau -- he has to learn on the job.
Elizabeth is surrounded by strong personalities, from her family to her cabinet; people who question her capacity to rule or at the very least, to reconcile ruling with her personal life. How far we've come!
The Crown premieres on Netflix on Nov. 4.
