"I’d come home and it would be very difficult to know how to comfort myself having been comforting lots of other people, so it would be a regular pattern to jump into the fridge."
Diana will be played by Emma Corrin in the upcoming series, who opened up about filming the scenes to Variety, explaining: "You can’t do justice to everything she was experiencing without including that. It was so symptomatic of the emotional turmoil and all the suppressed emotions that she was feeling."
