Netflix has given viewers a first glimpse of Emma Corrin as Diana, Princess of Wales in her wedding dress, in hit show The Crown.
The fourth series is set in the late 1970s and will follow Diana’s relationship with the Prince of Wales, played by Josh O’Connor.
An image released by Netflix shows Corrin wearing a new version of Diana’s dress, based on the original design by David and Elizabeth Emanuel, which featured a 25ft train.
