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 season 5.
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" on Netflix: Who will play Princess Diana in Season 4?
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 after all, 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.

In the comments on Twitter, many users praise Debicki's acting talent.
But the enthusiasm of the fans is very great for another reason: The actress also has an
astonishing resemblance to Lady Diana
.
But whether she can convince with her overall performance remains to be seen when the
5th season of "The Crown" is released
at the end of 2021 at the earliest.
