Elizabeth Debicki is honoring Princess Diana in her latest cover shoot.
The Crown star, 33, recreated Diana’s iconic 1991 Vogue cover for the new issue of Radio Times ahead of the upcoming sixth season — in which she plays the late princess — premiering on Netflix on Nov. 16.
In the image, Debicki is seen smiling while looking straight at the camera in character as Diana as she wears a black turtleneck sweater just like the one worn by the royal on the classic cover. The Australian actress wears a short, choppy blonde wig, emulating Diana’s hairdo, and wears similar makeup.

Elizabeth Debicki on the Most Important Thing She Learned While Playing Princess Diana in The Crown
Debicki portrays Princess Diana in her final days in the upcoming sixth and last season of The Crown. Princess Diana was killed in a car crash on Aug. 31, 1997, after being chased by photographers in Paris’ Pont de l’Alma tunnel.
The actress’s final appearance in the role follows her Emmy-nominated turn first playing the princess in the fifth season.
Andrew Morton, the author of Diana’s 1992 biography Diana: Her True Story who worked closely with the princess on the book, told Radio Times that Debicki played the role with “uncanny empathy” in the new issue.

“Hers was a tangled life, often buffeted by forces outside her sway. A woman searching for herself when everyone wanted a piece of her,” Morton told the outlet.
Speaking on Debicki’s portrayal of Diana in her last days, he added that the events portrayed will “stir up the settled silt of remembrance and loss,” per Daily Mail.
At the premiere of The Crown on Saturday, Debicki shared with PEOPLE that she “learned a lot” playing Princess Diana in the final series.
“I don’t think you come anywhere near sort of learning as much as I learned about this character and not feel that the only thing worth doing in life is putting love into the world,” she told PEOPLE.
Debicki also discussed what surprised her about Diana’s personality.
“I think I learned things about the degree to which she had an enormous and wicked sense of humor, the difficulties that she was facing, the way that she triumphed through them, the way she used her voice in a way that was sort of very progressive at the time,” she told PEOPLE. “Yeah, I learned a lot.”
The first part of the final season of The Crown debuts on Netflix on Nov. 16. The second and concluding part of the season will arrive on Dec. 14 with six episodes.
