all joking aside, on the preview thread, there are descriptions under the "spoiler" tag.

In July, the BBC radio produced a radio play version of the show, found here:

The last 5 minutes are when the final scene happens. I would describe it as majestic/heart-wrenching/incredible.
In the final scene, William and Kate have taken over the monarchy by threatening Charles to either let them have the throne or they won't ever let Charles see them and their family again. The final scene is Charles giving up the throne (he was never coronated as it takes a couple of months officially after Queen Elizabeth's death to coronate the next monarch). The actors playing William and Kate slowly walk down the two aisles completely in full majestic garb as the music plays. It really is a scene that makes you feel every feeling in the world.
This is an amazing article about how the author got to writing the play, highly recommend it:
