A solemn role. Elizabeth Debicki is the second actress to play Princess Diana on The Crown, and she’s been candid about wanting to ensure that her portrayal is respectful of the late royal.

Sir Jonathan Pryce thinks Queen Elizabeth's death will drive more people to watch 'The Crown'. The 75-year-old actor - who has taken over as Prince Philip in the latest series of Netflix's regal drama - believes the show will provide "comfort" to those left saddened by the monarch's passing in September so they will want to tune in to see her "embodied again" by Imelda Staunton. He said: “I think it’s bound to affect their perception of what we do.
