Throughout the drama-packed two minutes of footage, Claire Foy's Queen Elizabeth II can be seen telling her "wild spirit" of a husband that his restlessness "has to be a thing of the past", while Princess Margaret threatens to break away from the monarchy as a "woman for the modern age". Further clips show her getting cosy with Snowdon (Matthew Goode).

It culminates in QEII telling someone (who it is isn't clear): "there is no possibility of my forgiving you. The question is, how on earth can you forgive yourself?"
