NETFLIX'S "THE CROWN" CASTS LADY DIANA SPENCER

Emma Corrin joins the cast of Netflix original series The Crown Season 4

Emma Corrin will play Lady Diana Spencer

Quote from Emma Corrin: "Beyond excited and honoured to be joining The Crown for its fourth season. I have been glued to the show since the first episode and to think I'm now joining this incredibly talented acting family is just surreal. Princess Diana was an icon, and her effect on the world remains profound and inspiring. 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!"

Quote from creator Peter Morgan: "Emma is a brilliant talent who immediately captivated us when she came in for the part of Diana Spencer. As well as having the innocence and beauty of a young Diana, she also has, in abundance, the range and complexity to portray an extraordinary woman who went from anonymous teenager to becoming the most iconic woman of her generation."

The Crown Season 3 will launch in 2019.
