The Crown: William and Kate’s fledgling romance to appear ‘weird and stagnated’, reveals actor Ed McVey who plays the Prince in final Netflix series
The first trailer for the final installment of The Crown shows glimpses of William and Kate's romance, including when he saw her in the now infamous see-through dress at St Andrews and their first kiss.
Elsewhere in the trailer, Prince Charles is shown being 'unpopular' and feuding with his heir, while the Queen mourns the death of her sister Margaret.
The Part 2 trailer for season six of the show lasts 2 minutes and 44 seconds and opens with Princes William and Harry in happier times, with the two brothers – thought to be estranged in real life – grinning together as they pose for a family photo.
The Peter Morgan drama, which will be released on Netflix on December 14, has sparked controversy for its portrayal of the Windsor family.

As expected, the trailer for part two of the latest series focuses on that famous catwalk show that is said to have brought the Prince and Princess of Wales closer together.

The final season covers the early 2000s, as the family grapples with the aftermath of Princess Diana's death, a growing republican movement, and Charles' strained relationship with William.
The trailer shows the late Queen Elizabeth II, played by Imelda Staunton, receiving public feedback from aides about the royal family, including criticism that the Windsor family “lacked compassion.”
Tony Blair, Prime Minister in the years after Diana's death, is referred to as “King Tony” in one scene as the portrayal of his perceived power during his first term is dramatized.
The drama depicts the moment Prince William (Ed Mcvey) arrives at Kensington Palace to greet mourners following the death of his mother in 1997.

The series also shows Prince William overwhelmed as he steps out of the car to greet thousands of mourners who gathered at Kensington Palace in the days after his mother died in a car crash in a Paris underpass in 1997.
Later, the show suggests friction between father and son, as Prince Charles tells William, “We don't do fathers and sons very well in this family.”
However, there are plenty of feel-good moments as the teaser reaches its climax.
It's thought that much of part two of the final series of The Crown will focus on the blossoming relationship between the now Prince and Princess of Wales on our screens.
The trailer shows Prince William wide-eyed as he watches his future wife in the now-famous fashion show. As the trailer closes, they share a passionate first kiss.
Pictures released earlier this week showed Meg Bellamy, the 21-year-old actress from Wokingham who was plucked from obscurity to play Kate, recreating the royal family's iconic look when she took center stage in 2002 the St Andrew's Bay Hotel.

William is believed to have paid £200 for a ticket to sit in the front row of the show with friends and is rumored to have turned to one of them and said: 'Wow, Kate is hot.'
It is said that this was the turning point in the couple's relationship as they eventually went from being good friends to developing romantic feelings for each other.
The dress in question sold for a whopping £78,000 at auction after the catwalk show and became one of Kate's most famous fashion moments.
The pair were studying at St Andrew's University at the time and met last year, although Kate's catwalk appearance is believed to have been the catalyst for romance.
Kate was studying art history, while William, who had initially enrolled in art history, had switched to geography.
