'I never feel she quite got her style,' she adds, recalling the puff-sleeved dress Diana wears shortly after moving into the palace in episode three, when she fails to curtsy to the Windsors in the right order.
In the beginning of the season, she's naïve and uncertain, not far removed from high school, but as the episodes progress, the story takes 'that girl on this momentous journey, where she meets the handsome prince, she’s engaged, and then she’s kind of whisked away to the palace,' Roberts says. As costume designer Amy Roberts recently explained to Town & Country, the version of Diana that actress Emma Corrin portrays is just getting her footing. Even for a royal, Princess Diana was an icon, loved around the world for many reasons-not the least of which was her oft-imitated style.īut the polished, confident princess most fans remember isn't who we meet in The Crown, not quite. This season, The Crown finally introduces a long-awaited character: the Princess of Wales.
