Emma Corrinis making royal fans do a double take!
While filming new scenes for season 4 ofThe Crownin Malaga, Spain, the young actress perfectly mirroredPrincess 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 withPrince 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 channeledPrince Charlesin a grey suit, and plenty of extras portraying fans excited to meet the royal couple.

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.

“Princess Diana was an icon, and her effect on the world remains profound and inspiring,” she continued. “To be given the chance to explore her through Peter Morgan’s writing is the most exceptional opportunity, and I will strive to do her justice!”
