CROWN JEWEL IS DIANA’S DOUBLE

LAST weekend, behind the curve as ever, we finally started watching the latest season of The Crown.

Emma Corrin, pictured in her role as Princess Diana, is an absolute revelation. Yes, she looks like a young Lady Di, but it’s the voice and the mannerisms which are so accurate as to be eerie.

Peter Morgan, creator of The Crown and also scriptwriter on the film The Queen, which dealt with the difficult days following the Princess’s death, said back then that he wrote the film in the way he did precisely because he thought Diana would be impossible to recreate on screen.

It seems he’s finally found a way – thanks to Corrin’s impeccable acting skills – to do it.
