"Princess Diana's spirit, her words and her actions live in the hearts of so many. It is my true privilege and honour to be joining this masterful series, which had me absolutely hooked from episode one," said Debicki in a statement when she was casted.
Debicki's transformation is the latest sighting after Netflix released the first image of Imelda Staunton as Queen Elizabeth last week. Other members of the new cast include Dominic West as Prince Charles, Jonathan Pryce as Prince Philip, and Lesley Manville as Princess Margaret.
