“I cried for real” &#8211; Elizabeth Debicki and ‘The Crown’ Cast Discuss the Difficulties of Portraying Princess Diana’s Demise

When delving into the intricacies of historical drama, one is sure to come
across moments that have shattered the world. For the cast of The Crown
[https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/the-crown/], that moment came while they had to
film scenes portraying the last of the beloved former British royal family
member, Princess Diana. Elizabeth Debicki, who dons the role, found it
especially hard, which she shared when asked at the latest season’s premiere in
Los Angeles.

In this candid discussion, the actors ended up sharing the emotional weight
involved in portraying the eerie moments leading up to the untimely demise of
the beloved Princess. In fact, they even opened up about their actual reactions
to the tragic incident.


ELIZABETH DEBICKI AND THE REST OF THE CROWN CAST RECALL THEIR STRUGGLES WITH THE
FINAL EPISODES

When Princess Diana passed away in 1997, the world was in shock and stuck in
grief. The car crash that killed her was deadly and many mourned her passing in
such a manner once the details were out. Understandably, enacting such a
horrific accident would take a toll on one and Elizabeth Debicki, who had to
play out the late Princess’ last moments, and The Crown cast who had to witness
had it rough, experienced it as they filmed the sequences. While recalling the
shoot with The Hollywood Reporter, Debicki called her experience “unusual and
beautiful.”

However, the job came “with a huge amount of responsibility,” she confessed. Her
co-star, Abdalla, also agreed with her by saying that there was “great emotional
involvement for everyone” before making a revelation: “I cried for real when she
died and I cried when I saw it on screen,” he said.

With the first part of the two-part ending out, the openness of the actors has
fans all over the world wondering just how hard it is going to be to relive.
However, there are some who are hoping for a prequel.


COULD THE CROWN GET A PREQUEL OR A SPINOFF?

After a good 6 season run, The Crown creator Peter Morgan finally wrapped up the
series. With a story so well known and popular, the final season might have been
the hardest story to tell out of them all. Earlier this year, he revealed that
he would not be going ahead with the recent history of the royals as that would
take it out of the biographical genre.



However, Morgan did hint at having plans for a prequel

which will not be on the cards for the foreseeable future. Thankfully, fans will
not have to wait too long for another dose of The Crown as the second part of
the series finale is set to make its way to the Netflix library on December 14.
