Netflix series The Crown is back with its fourth season and its official teaser is sensational.
The series stars Olivia Colman as Queen Elizabeth II, Tobias Menzies as Prince Philip (her husband), Helena Bonham Carter as Princess Margaret and several others.
But what all makes the teaser appealing are the numerous profiles of Princess Diana, played by Emma Corrin, on screen.

The pendulum oscillates and a royal walking stick bangs on the floor.
A background voice, of the Archbishop of Canterbury, Robert Runcie, says, "Here is the stuff of which fairy tales are made."
Runcie continues to talk (ominously) about the much-familiar phrase, "And they lived happily ever after."
The dialogues precede several scenes of the young Prince Charles and Diana in their courtship days.
