‘The Crown’ has launched a trailer for its final episodes.
This last outing will focus on Prince William.
Netflix will launch the remaining episodes on December 14th.

Since launching in 2016, ‘The Crown’ has been through a blend of praise (it has been seen as one of the most prestigious and ambitious shows on Netflix) and criticism (you don’t chronicle a semi-fictionalized version of the British Royal Family without incurring some naysayers).

But there’s no denying it has been a big success, impressively swapping casts every two seasons and managing to (largely) maintain its quality level.

Season 6 Part 2 of 'The Crown' will stream on Netflix beginning December 14th.

From the looks of the new trailer, which shows off the final batch of episodes, the show will continue its mix of drama and legacy, as Prince William deals with the fallout of his mother’s death, his complicated relationship with his father and his own future –– both in love and on the throne.

The Queen, meanwhile, is looking back at her past and pondering the Royals’ place in the public’s hearts, which has eroded over the passing decades.

What’s the story of ‘The Crown’s final episodes?

Still coming to terms with his mother’s death, Prince William (Ed McVey) heads back to Eton amidst an increase in attention from young female fans touched by his plight. The struggle to re-adjust leads to tensions with his family, as they try to support another young heir to find his way in the system and the world.

Later, as William takes up his place at St Andrew’s University, the omnipresent conflict of life as a public servant continues as he tries to balance the traditional undergraduate rites of passage with the constraints of his position and constant presence of personal protection officers. His perseverance is tested when he develops a crush on one of the most desired students on campus: a woman by the name of Kate Middleton (Meg Bellamy).

Princess Margaret (Lesley Manville) suffers a stroke and is suddenly forced to reassess her lifestyle. As her health continues to decline, she finds herself slipping back into her memories, back to her secret night out with her sister during the biggest party in history: VE Day 1945. The memories from that evening, and what it taught her about her older sister, comfort her in her final days.

With the passing of her sister and her mother, her Golden Jubilee and having approved the marriage between Prince Charles (Dominic West) and Camilla (Olivia Williams), the Queen (Imelda Staunton) starts to consider her reign and ultimately her legacy. Approaching her ninth decade, the Queen is forced to dig deep and really examine what is best for the future of the monarchy.
