First look at Elizabeth Debicki as Princess Diana in 'The Crown' will stop you in your tracks
Some of us are not quite over Emma Corrin's frankly uncanny performance as Princess Diana in The Crown Season 4.
In case you're in the mood to be wowed yet again, feast your eyes on these just-dropped photos of Elizabeth Debicki as Princess Diana and Dominic West taking over from Josh O'Connor as Prince Charles in the upcoming Season 5 and 6 of The Crown. Um, wow?
Looking at Netflix's new photo of the Tenet actor in the coveted role, it's safe to say the resemblance to Diana, Princess of Wales is uncanny. It gives the image of Kristen Stewart in the role in Pablo Larraín's upcoming film Spencer a run for its money.

West and Debicki will play Charles and Diana in Seasons 5 and 6 of the Netflix royal drama, which is set in the 1990s and early 2000s. Diana was killed in Paris on Aug. 31, 1997, in a car accident, which will likely be covered in the series.

Meanwhile, Imelda Staunton will take the reins from Olivia Colman as Queen Elizabeth, Lesley Manville will play Princess Margaret, Jonathan Pryce will play Prince Philip, while Jonny Lee Miller will introduce the role of Prime Minister John Major.

I'm not sure we can wait that long!
