Australian actress Elizabeth Debicki has been cast as Diana in upcoming seasons of The Crown.
The Sun reports she will play the role of Princess Diana over Seasons 5 and 6.
Elizabeth Debicki (The Night Manager, The Kettering Incident, The Great Gatsby) said: “Princess Diana’s spirit, her words and her actions live in the hearts of so many.
“It is my privilege and honour to be joining this masterful series, which has had me absolutely hooked from episode one.”
The role of the younger Diana, who marries Prince Charles in 1981 and endures a troubled marriage, went to unknown actress Emma Corrin, 24. She will feature in Season 4 alongside Josh O’Connor, 30, reprising his role as Prince Charles.
Season 5, due in 2022, will cover the 1990s.

A good choice. She has the big eyes that Diana had and with fair colouring.
Interesting, i would have thought one actress could cover her 20 years in the public eye.
Yes, I agree, one actress could have done younger and older roles and Elizabeth Debicki is an excellent choice for the role.
