So we just made those adjustments with Gottex.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>And the effort paid off for Elizabeth Debicki.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I really love the blue swimsuit Diana wears when she walks out to the end of the diving board on the yacht and sits down,\u2019 she says.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u2018There was just something about that swimsuit and re-creating that moment that felt very sacred.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u2018There were some really heavy scenes and a lot of tears for Charles. But I love crying, so it was great.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Then there were a lot of set-piece teas at Windsor Castle or Christmas Day or family photos or weddings where all of us were there and they were the biggest joy because you\u2019re in a room and everyone looks like a member of the Royal Family so it\u2019s hilarious. Then Imelda walks in and you go, \u201cMy God, there\u2019s the Queen!\u201d\u2019<\/p>\n<p>The final six episodes of the series, which will be available in December, will see the family moving on from Diana\u2019s death and cover William and Kate\u2019s budding romance at St Andrews, finishing with Charles and Camilla\u2019s wedding in April 2005.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The university scenes were actually filmed at St Andrews and the wedding at York Minster.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Netflix boss Ted Sarandos has explained why the series ends there. \u2018It was the cut-off to keep it historical, not journalistic,\u2019 he said. \u2018By stopping almost 20 years before the present day, it\u2019s dignified.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Dominic \u2013 whose gardener wife Catherine FitzGerald is friends with Charles in real life \u2013 says he found himself fighting the King\u2019s corner.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I really like him and admire him. I think he\u2019s a good guy who gets a lot of stick and I didn\u2019t want to add to that,\u2019 he says.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u2018But there were plenty of people around me who were giving the opposite point of view so hopefully what comes out is compassionate but relatively well-balanced.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Fans will once again revel in the re-creation of key moments and occasionally uncanny portrayals of characters we know so well, although Dominic reveals he dispensed with the use of \u2018ear plumpers\u2019 for this series.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u2018They made my ears go out but it was quite a faff and they were quite uncomfortable and didn\u2019t make much difference,\u2019 he says. \u2018They didn\u2019t make me look any more like Charles, unfortunately.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Instead he concentrates more on an impression of the character rather than a complete likeness, and reveals he and Olivia Williams, who plays Camilla, had \u2018trigger phrases\u2019 to get into character.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u2018My main one was based on an interview with Charles on a plane to Australia when he said, \u201cI just do it for jolly old Britain\u201d.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Olivia would say, \u201cModern democracy\u201d to get into her role and then I\u2019d say, \u201cJolly old Britain\u201d and we\u2019d start the scene.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>For Imelda Staunton, his on-screen mother, it was the outfits that made the difference.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Everything I wear has been handmade and all those details help,\u2019 she says.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u2018We do the make-up and when the wig goes on we say, \u201cThere we go, that\u2019s it.\u201d But then, actually, the lipstick does it.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;It\u2019s like putting all the ingredients into a fantastic meal. They have to be right and it has to be cooked for the right amount of time, but every single day for two and a half years they\u2019ve made me feel like I\u2019m the Queen.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/femail\/article-12753931\/crown-diana-distressed-day-death.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fresh anguish for William and Harry as The Crown portrays Princess Diana as distressed on her final day before she died \u00a0The first half of the last season is released\u00a0tomorrow [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":181578,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.8.1 -
