She revealed that one of the aspects of playing the late Princess that most fascinated other people was the fact that she would be wearing Diana's famous 'Revenge Dress'.
Speaking of filming those scenes, Elizabeth told Entertainment Weekly: "It provoked something in me as an actor. I can't really explain it. It's pretty incredible that a dress would represent a moment in history, or that this human's life would represent so much and become so iconic. So that was a big day on set for me!"
Why is Elizabeth Debicki taking over from Emma Corrin?
Emma Corrin, who is six years younger than her successor, was only intended to play the late Princess during her youth. They have since moved on to other high-profile roles, including starring with Harry Styles in the recent period drama My Policeman.

With some critics suggesting that the show fictionalises too much, and Netflix agreeing to add a disclaimer that makes clear it is a drama rather than a documentary, the star was restrained in her response when asked about the debate.

Speaking to the Radio Times, Elizabeth simply said: "I respect people's points of view and I, being an actor in the show, understand the nature of what the show is.
"It was always very clear to me that one can never know what happens behind closed doors and that a writer is interpreting what may have happened… There’s a huge amount of room for interpretation and that’s the value and beauty of The Crown as well, that you receive a different message depending on who you are. That’s good drama to me."
