For Elizabeth Debicki, portraying Diana on 鈥淭he Crown鈥 for two seasons created a sense of responsibility to be as authentic as possible for the many people who revere the Royal Family.
鈥淭here is a profound sense of tragedy that lives in your body when you play that part of the story," Debicki told Reuters in an interview. "But having watched it, which I recently did, and while the credits are rolling, I thought this was a really serious thing that we put on the screen."
The two-part sixth, and final, season of 鈥淭he Crown鈥 explores Diana鈥檚 final days before she perishes in a car accident. It premiered on Netflix on Nov. 16.
As a historical drama, the Emmy-winning drama series created by Peter Morgan seeks to tell the story of Queen Elizabeth鈥檚 reign against the backdrop of various royal dramas.
Debicki believes it鈥檚 a common experience for "The Crown" actors to struggle to 鈥渓et go鈥 and stop 鈥渙bserving鈥 themselves while filming the show.
The pressure of capturing the Royals is intense, especially when depicting the loss of a princess to whom many people still feel connected, she said.
鈥淵eah, we left all the pieces of ourselves up there on the screen, because it deserves nothing less than that,鈥 Debicki said.
Similarly, Khalid Abdalla - who portrays Dodi Fayed, Egyptian billionaire Mohamed al-Fayed's son, who was in a romantic relationship with Diana, the late Princess of Wales - viewed his work with Debicki as a huge responsibility.
鈥淭he process of doing it together has been everything that you would wish for in collaboration,鈥 he said, referring to working with Debicki.
He went into the final season also thinking about how the loss of Diana is still a 鈥渃ultural trauma鈥 for 鈥渕illions of people around the world.鈥
Abdalla said the sacredness of what 鈥淭he Crown鈥 cast was recreating was something to which he wanted to give dignity.
