She was phenomenal!! I thought she so embodied Diana, and when I was watching her I forgot it wasn’t Diana for a moment. She nailed it! 👏👏👏

It’s hard to play a well known real person without it being a caricature or parody, but Elizabeth was just jaw-dropping playing Diana.

I think she even improved from season 5 to season 6, maybe she changed up a few things. Her manner of speaking was identical to Diana this time.

It’s a combination of exceptional talent and dedication to detail. She was so spookily like her that I forgot I was watching a drama during some of her scenes. When the first actress played her I thought she was phenomenal and it would be a real accomplishment to better her portrayal. Then along comes Elizabeth and simply stunned me.

She is absolute perfection as Diana!
She nailed it. Wouldn't say she looks all that much like her...but she captured her vibe and mannerisms and voice really well.
She’s a method actress. Immersed completely in the role she became Diana. She even called the actors playing William and Harry “my boys “.
Elizabeth Debicki deserves all the awards! She is amazing! I cannot wait for the part 2
She was/is Diana!!! From the previous season to this one, I had shivers watching her… It was like watching the real Diana.
Elizabeth Debicki is a marvel as Diana, the greatest portrayal of the princess
Diana would have been thrilled by Elizabeth's portrayal. She really evoked all the magical qualities that made her so lovable.
Elizabeth is a breath of fresh air on are TV screens . She’s elegant and beautiful and extremely talented ❤️💋
She is a phenomenal actress . At times I forgot I wasn’t actually seeing Diana . She nailed it!
Her voice is so different irl, she completely disappeared into this role, iconic!

As a Polish person, I am proud that such a talented actress never changed her Polish surname to an English pseudonym that some actors of Polish descent in the US had to in the past.

Diana's ghost is definitely still and will always haunt the British monarchy, at least I can rest assured that her bloodline will sit on the throne one day.. that is why William's coronation will bring the people so much bittersweet joy.. 💔

Elizabeth Debicki did an amazing job portraying Diana on The Crown !
Elizabeth is an absolutely amazing Actress, and her role as Diana was simply 'sublime'. Good segment Today! Psyche aka Psyche Thompson UK
I didn’t expect her real voice to be so different from the character. Indicative of good acting.
I hope they give her all the awards for her magnificent performance in this season.! 😉
Dibiki deserves all the awards in the world 👏🏻👏🏻
Her performance was incredible
Well done for sure Elizabeth Debicki!
She's been splendid as Diana. Casting for Mohammed Al Fayed and Dodi were also perfect.
Love it she and the whole cast did a fantastic job
Have never watched it but will for this last season
I cried. It was intense
She was beautiful and played this part so well.
She’s so good!
Congratulations Elizabeth. Well done
How hair due can change you she looks older 😮with short hair cut.Her scting was brilliant ❤
She was absolutely brilliant in her portrayal or Dianna
That episode wreaks me.
I loved her interactions with Will & Harry!
She did this job amezing ❤
I agree with what they said. It wasn’t a “ghost,” I just saw it as Charles and the Queen having imaginary conversations with her, something you would probably do if someone was just suddenly gone like that . I thought it was well handled.
She did an amazing job!
5:08 she called Elizabeth Diana for a sec
Emmy is waving to her
Beautiful and intelligent
The best princess Diana
TOTALLY DESERVED A GOLDEN GLOBE AND EMMY
Great actrees❤
She was...scary good at playing her it felt like she was her.
Season 6 is so much better than Season 5. Elizabeth Debicki is outstanding. The actors that played Dodi and his father were terrific. I still do not understand the choices for Charles, the Queen and Prince Phillip. But so far, really a great way to end the series.
She's a very good Diana, maybe the best, but the series has jumped the shark.

This is a great series but people should realize that it part fiction. Nobody knows what most of the conversations are between these people and take those conversations as fact.
Sorry but the actor who plays Charles is way too good looking

theyre all dead
Do you remember just how painfully sad we all felt that day for William and Harry after their beloved mother died, in fact we had great empathy for the boys/men that carried on for decades after. Yet…… When Harry saw the same kind of treatment happening to his wife and later his children, and was determined not allow history to repeat itself. Soooo many of you had already drank the kool-aid, the royal and British propaganda of disgusting racist hatred, the kind princess Dianna had been fighting against up to the day she died !!! SHAME ON YOU How disgusted she would be of everyone of you that has treated her son and his family like they too are not human. 😊😘🇨🇦
She played with the media and paparazzi
thank for the spoiler in the title...really smart
She must be cast as Carolyn Bessette Kennedy in something. Would be a shame if she wasn't.
How does she has such long hair, after playing Diana with short hair?
@The_Slytherin_Serpent21
8 ай бұрын
My guess, short hair was a wig.
They should have included Prince Edward marrying the his wife Sofie, who happened to look a lot like Diana. They could have had Elizabeth Debicki play Sofie as well.
to be honest... I'm still confused seeing her out of character... in my head... im still convincing myself that Elizabeth Debicki is also Princess Diana in The Crown.
Those shoes and socks though?
Doesn't she feel like a hybrid of dua lipa and sofie turner💀
She plays her sooo depressing😢😢😢I’d rather just watch the royal family! Out of the four episodes, the last two were good

The ghost was incredibly tacky and took this well produced series into the realm of soapy, bad-written sap. It was hard to watch.

Totally disagree, the ghost scenes were handed absolutely gently and beautifully. As the actress said, it was done in a way of imaginary conversation. And all "ghost" scenes brought essential thoughts of characters on screen.

I think it's pretty common for people to have imaginary conversations with those who are passed. It's dramatic license for the show of course. But I think it worked alright.

it was not a ghost at all in my opinion. Just what happens after someone dies, you play out conversations you could still have with them in your mind.
If they are going to have ghosts on the show, might as well have vampires too, maybe bring Buffy in to fight them? great for ratings.
