In the first four seasons of the show, actress Emma Corrin plays a younger Princess Diana.
But Australian actress Elizabeth will now play in the show until her tragic death in August 1997.
The show plays out one of Princess Diana’s last public appearances when she attended London’s Royal Albert Hall for the Royal Gala performance of Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake on June 3rd 1997.
The outfit she wore was a beautiful gown made by designer Jacques Azagury, and is one of her most memorable ensembles of all time.
However, Netflix producers decided to go for something different in the show.
In pictures from upcoming scenes of the historical drama, Elizabeth can seen donning a stunning halterneck dress by Catherine Walker.
Diana’s iconic South Sea pearl necklace that she wore to the event is also missing.
The set location was also different as filming for the scene took place at The Lyceum Theatre, located in the city of Westminster.
The Crown, which hit our screens back in 2016, follows the reign of Queen Elizabeth II.
The last series premiered in November 2020 and fans have been eagerly awaiting the fifth, which is due to air later this year.
And last month fans were treated to a sneak peek at what they can expect.
Doctor Foster star Bertie Carvel was pictured as former Prime Minister Tony Blair while filming the new season.
Bertie, 44, was seen shooting scenes in Kent with his on-screen family and actress Lydia Leonard, who will be portraying Cherie Blair.
The scenes see the couple casting their votes in County Durham, mirroring the same moment in 1997.
At the time, the Labour party was poised to sweep to victory after years of the Conservatives being in power.
Following the Labour party win, Tony, then 44, became the youngest person to become PM since Lord Liverpool, aged 42, in 1812.
The ongoing coronavirus pandemic hasn’t made filming easy.
Back in December it was revealed that the cast and crew had been forced to stop after eight members of the crew tested positive for the deadly bug.
At the time, Netflix confirmed: “The Crown finished filming one day earlier than planned for the Christmas break following a few positive cases within the team, thus ensuring others’ safety and so that everyone on production can enjoy a festive break with their loved ones.”
