CORR BLIMEY! EM FLASHES THE CROWN JEWELS...
STAR IN SIZZLING SHOOT... AFTER HER BOW AS SHY DI
EMMA CORRIN plays a royal blush following her debut as a demure Princess Diana in The Crown.
The 24-year-old star signalled that she has no qualms about flashbulbs in her own life when she slipped out of f h her royal l robes b to pose in a net dress, sans half her underwear.
Corrin also sizzled in a sheer top and black bra on the cover of GQ Hype as she dumped her blonde Diana dye job and returned to being a brunette. But she admits she would cringe if she bumped into Diana’s sons, Princes William and Harry, at a showbiz bash.
‘If I ever saw them at a party, I’d probably leave,’ said the actress, who revealed before her bow on the Netflix show last night, that she covers Diana’s battle with bulimia graphically.
Asked how the princes would react to her protrayal of their mother, she replied: ‘I can’t imagine. I’d be interested to know what they think.’ And she warned the pair the show is ‘pretty much’ a sad portrayal of their mum ‘apart from the 20 minutes when Charles and Diana are happy in episode six’.
Mulling over Diana’s life, Corrin said: ‘The real mistake was that the marriage (to Prince Charles) happened in the first place. She had this idea of what she wanted it to be because she was so young. I drew on my own experience for that. I think of myself as young, but I was 23 when we were filming. Diana was 19.’
The actress says she got the job opposite Josh O’Connor – who plays Prince Charles – because the two stars had ‘kind of no chemistry’.
And she is gutted to only be starring in one series – Elizabeth Debicki will play Diana in the final two seasons. ‘It’s a shame. I’m sad about it, but I’ve moved on,’ she said. Read her full interview at GQ Hype, online now.
