A close replica of her silk taffeta wedding dress was made for The Crown’s royal wedding scene – complete with 7.6-metre (25ft) train. The Diana who is coming back to life most vividly is not the tragic “people’s princess” of 1997, but the fairytale bride of 1981. While in real life, the row over her interview with Martin Bashir has reignited, with Diana’s brother, Earl Spencer, calling for a formal inquiry into how it was secured.Įmma Corrin, the actor who plays Diana in this series, graced the cover of the October issue as a vision of 80s royal glamour in a strapless sapphire-blue Oscar de la Renta ballgown, resplendent with the feathered hair and moonbeam complexion of the young princess. Netflix has also announced the Diana musical is to be filmed and broadcast next year. But there is also a documentary to mark the 25th anniversary of her death, and a Hollywood film, Spencer, in the works, in which Kristen Stewart plays the princess. The fourth season of The Crown has already put Princess Diana back in Vogue. Now, in this strange season of death, Diana is about to make a return to our national life. And the sickening jolt that comes with finding that the world can turn itself upside down without a moment’s notice. The cultural and political shock waves that threatened the monarchy. The outpouring of emotion that recalibrated a country’s self-image. The sea of flowers outside Kensington palace. U ntil this spring, the defining experience of shared grief and loss in living British memory could be summed up in one word: Diana.
