How the cast of The Crown compare to the real-life Royals they portray

Some of the biggest moments in British Royal history are set to be played out in sixth and final season on The Crown.

The season will closely follow the trials and tribulations of Princess Diana before her tragic death in 1997, with consideration to Queen Elizabeth who passed away in September 2022.

In what is suspected to be the most ambitious chapter on The Crown, the new season is being split into two parts with Prince Charles (Dominic West) and Princess Diana (Elizabeth Debicki) sharing very different holidays with their children as a divorced couple.

The first look photos of Elizabeth Debicki as Diana set fans into a frenzy over their resemblance, as for the other cast members Netflix has done a successful job of securing actors that embody the British royals.

Below we’ve included a side-by-side comparison of The Crown cast with their real-life counterparts.
