Series four of The Crown will see actress Emma Corrin take on the role of Diana, Princess of Wales.
She has previously said she will “strive to do justice” to Diana with her on-screen portrayal in the Netflix drama, and has paid tribute to the “profound effect” of the late princess’ work.
The 24-year-old actress will portray Diana during the early part of her relationship with the Prince of Wales before handing over the role to Elizabeth Debicki for series five and six.
