- 'The Crown' star Elizabeth Debicki channels Princess Diana's iconic cover
- Debicki brings royal fashion back to the spotlight with a 'Vogue' cover homage
- She looks identical to Diana
In a breathtaking tribute to the People's Princess, Elizabeth Debicki (33, actress) has masterfully channeled the late Diana, Princess of Wales, in a recreation of Diana's legendary 1992 'Vogue' cover for the 'Radio Times'. This stunning homage comes just in time to reignite our fascination with royal fashion and drama as Netflix's 'The Crown' gears up for its much-anticipated return this November!
A royal reflection and jewels of controversy
The Australian star, donning a chic black polo-neck sweater à la Diana, strikes the same regal pose that captured hearts worldwide, showcasing her uncanny resemblance to the beloved princess. The original 'Vogue' cover, snapped by the renowned French photographer Patrick Demarchelier, wasn't just a fashion statement—it was a symbol of Diana's timeless elegance.
But wait, there's a juicy scoop behind that iconic image! Andrew Morton (biographer) spills the tea on the high-stakes drama over the photo's price tag. "He wanted £70,000... when the going rate was £500," Morton reveals about the photographer's demands. Talk about a royal ransom!
Stirring the royal pot: 'The Crown's emotional impact
As 'The Crown' prepares to dramatize the tumultuous times leading up to Diana's tragic end, Morton warns that the series will "stir up the settled silt of loss" for many. The show promises to tread carefully on the delicate memories of Diana's untimely demise, but will it reopen old wounds?

The series doesn't stop at the 'Vogue' cover. It goes the extra mile, recreating Diana's last summer in St Tropez with exquisite attention to detail. Debicki herself felt the weight of these moments, describing the reenactment of Diana's iconic blue swimsuit scene as "very sacred."
The ghost of Princess past?
'The Crown' doesn't shy away from controversy, with scenes depicting Charles (played by Dominic West) in an emotional conversation with an imagined Diana. Critics have called foul, but creator Peter Morgan insists it's about Diana's lasting impact, not ghostly apparitions.
With the Royal Family constantly in the limelight, 'The Crown's storyline remains as dynamic as ever, adapting to new revelations, including those from Prince Harry's tell-all memoir, Spare.
