"The Crown" on Netflix: New actress plays Princess Diana - with amazing resemblance

In the Netflix series "The Crown", a new actress takes on the role of Princess Diana - and the fans are enthusiastic on Twitter.

• In the Netflix series "The Crown" , the term of office of Queen Elizabeth II is discussed.
• In order to realistically portray the aging process of the characters, the actors are regularly replaced.
• A new actress will also take on the role of Princess Diana from the 5th season.

Those who have never seen "The Crown" may be confused by the constant exchange of leading actors. That has nothing to do with the fact that Netflix finds the actors unsuitable. Instead, there are dramaturgical reasons behind it: Since "The Crown" covers a large part of the life story of Queen Elizabeth II , it simply makes no sense if, for example, a 36-year-old Claire Foy embodies a 50-year-old Queen.

The rule of age-appropriate actors naturally also applies to the other characters, such as Princess Diana .

The Crown: Who will play Princess Diana in the fourth season of the Netflix series?

During Queen Elizabeth II's tenure , many people remembered one period in particular: the 1980s to the mid-1990s, when Princess Diana really mixed up the lives of the English royals. Her unhappy marriage to Prince Charles had a bad effect on the image of the royal family at the time. In addition, numerous conspiracy theories are still circulating around the mysterious death of the media icon.

It is all these aspects that increase the anticipation of "The Crown" fans for the 4th and 5th season. How will the makers treat the story of Diana? How do the characters react to the "scandals" surrounding the Crown Princess? Season 4 is due to appear on Netflix in 2020 - and fans will receive the first answers to the questions mentioned.

The cast is also of interest to the audience, because the Diana actress should look as similar as possible to the original. And in fact, the makers decided on an actress who has a lot of similarities with the original: Emma Corrin plays Lady Diana in the 4th season . After that, however, she will be replaced again and a slightly older actress jumps in from the 5th season.
