In a trailer, Prince George receives a postcard from his uncle, Prince Harry, and aunt, Meghan Markle. Orlando Bloom and Condola Rashad voice the duke and duchess of Sussex, respectively, in a scene that mocks their California apartment.

Iwan Rheon voices Prince William and Lucy Punch plays Kate Middleton. A scene shows the couple in bed before William orders a butler to carry him to the bathroom.

Dan Stevens plays Prince Charles and Camilla, duchess of Cornwall, is shown but does not speak in the trailer. Charles responds to a knock at the door from Queen Elizabeth, voiced by Frances de la Tour, like a giddy child.
