People Editorial Guidelines Published on October 7, 2019 03:34 PM Share Tweet Pin Email Emma Corrin is making royal fans do a double take! While filming new scenes for season 4 of The Crown in Malaga, Spain, the young actress perfectly mirrored Princess Diana. She sported a pink polka dot dress paired with a statement fascinator — nearly identical to the fashionable look the late royal wore during her 1983 tour of Australia with Prince Charles. The costume even had the same belted waist and ruched neckline as Diana’s ensemble. Corrin shot her scene alongside actor Josh O’Connor, who channeled Prince Charles in a grey suit, and plenty of extras portraying fans excited to meet the royal couple.

MIKE ROBERTS/Mirrorpix/Getty The Crown fans got their first look at Corrin as Princess Diana last week, when she was spotted filming another scene set during their Australian tour — their first royal tour with their son Prince William, who was 9 months old at the time. The 23-year-old actress looked strikingly similar to the late princess as she sported a white button-down dress, white flats, a matching white purse and the same blonde bob as Diana.

In a statement released by the newcomer, Corrin said she was thrilled to be portraying Lady Diana Spencer, who went on to marry Prince Charles and become Diana, Princess of Wales. “Beyond excited and honored to be joining The Crown for its fourth season,” Corrin said in a statement. “I have been glued to the show since the first episode and to think I’m now joining this incredibly talented acting family is just surreal.” Princess Diana; Emma Corrin.
