Crown star Elizabeth’s new role... as Lady DIY!
Diana actress pops to the shops with sister – but why does she need a Stanley knife?
SHE has given a cutting-edge performance as the late Princess Diana in The Crown on Netflix.
And now Elizabeth Debicki looks set to apply the same razor-sharp precision to her domestic chores that she has to her career.
The actress, 33, was spotted shopping with her younger sister Catherine in London last weekend – carrying paper bags and a brandnew Stanley knife.
Wrapped up against the bitter weather in a green beanie hat, jeans and a long camel coat, the Australian star of The Night Manager and Tenet popped into a deli and then visited a hardware store across the road for the DIY tool.
She smiled and chatted with her sister, an interior designer, as they walked along the streets in the winter sunshine.
The pair are often seen together, and were both photographed attending the Dior show at Paris Fashion Week in January and at the Golden Globes in Beverly Hills, where Ms Debicki was nominated for best supporting actress for her role in The Crown.
Ms Debicki, who was brought up in Melbourne by her ballet-dancer parents, is currently starring in the sixth and final season of the Baftawinning Netflix show, having taken over the role from Emma Corrin.
She has won plaudits for her ‘compelling’ portrayal and uncanny likeness to the princess, including her voice and doe-eyed look – as well as recreating iconic images such as Diana sitting on a yacht’s diving board in a blue swimsuit.
However there has also been criticism of the producers’ decision to have the late princess appear as a ‘ghost’ in later scenes of the historical drama.
Ms Debicki’s next big screen role will be alongside Ruth Wilson and Bobby Cannavale in the romantic thriller Andorra.
