The new series will see Olivia Colman and Tobias Mezies take over the reins from Claire Foy and Matt Smith as The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh.

The upcoming series will cover The Queen’s reign from 1964 up to 1977 and see the beginning of Prince Edward’s life, the marriage of Princess Anne and Captain Mark Phillips and the celebrations of The Queen’s Silver Jubilee.

Also among the cast is Helena Bonham Carter as Princess Margaret, Josh O’Connor playing Prince Charles, Emerald Fennell as Camilla Shand, Ben Daniels as Tony Armstrong-Jones, Erin Doherty playing Princess Anne, Marion Bailey as The Queen Mother and Jason Watkins playing the Prime Minister Harold Wilson.

The footage released shows Colman as Queen Elizabeth in full regalia within the halls of Buckingham Palace, as the monarch makes her way across a doorway, only to turn to the camera with a cold glance.
