TheCrown continues a very unusual typecasting trend for Elizabeth Debicki, who plays Princess Diana 🛥 'I’ve cornered the market for sad people on boats. I don’t know how I did that!' 😂

The Crown's Elizabeth Debicki discusses how her turn as Princess Diana continues a very specific typecasting trend. As is tradition for the Netflix drama, a new season meant new actors taking over as iconic real-life figures. In the case of Diana, Debicki took over for Emma Cornin, who'd portrayed the Princess of Wales in The Crown season 4.

SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY During an appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Debicki was asked about the recurrent theme. Colbert brought up the actor's past performance in The Night Manager and Tenet, comparing those turns with her time leading The Crown's season 5 cast. Debicki responded that the connecting point is not the characters are blonde. But that, somehow, she's become synonymous with portraying people who are sad on boats.

I’ve cornered the market for sad people on boats. I don’t know how I did that! I don’t know how I did it. The first time I was ever on a fancy boat was with Hugh [Laurie], and I think people saw it and thought, “she’s great on a boat. Put her on more boats.” How Have The Crown Fans Received Debicki's Diana Performance? On the whole, The Crown season 5 has garnered a more negative response than the Peter Morgan series typically does.

Those predictions proved to be correct beyond just the point of physical resemblance. Debicki not only made for an aesthetically convincing Diana, but she was able to tap into a part of what made the Princess of Wales such a captivating global presence. Other recent Diana portrayals, such as Kristen Stewart in Spencer, play into Diana's public image in order to create a sense of horror and disorientation.

That could well be an example of Debicki's salient skill at embodying sad people, whether they're on a boat or not. It'll be interesting to see whether that skill nabs the actor some major awards recognition. For many of those that have seen The Crown season 5, even though the relative recency proves divisive, there's been little denying that Debicki livens up the series when she's on the screen.

Kate Honors Diana in Her First Tiara Moment as the Princess of WalesKate Middleton honored Princess Diana on Tuesday by selecting the Lover’s Knot tiara—frequently worn by her late mother-in-law—for her first state banquet as the Princess of Wales. Princess Diana would despise that racist stalker. KKKate Stop with this nonsense about The Princess of Wales honoring her MIL. She's been using this tiara since the start of her royal life and it has nothing to do with Diana per se. Go inform yourself at courtjeweller! Stop it...the Tiara is the Cambridge Lovers Knot Tiara and seen as though The Princess of Wales, still also holds the title of Duchess of Cambridge (amongst others) it is for that reason she uses it and has done on other occasions too...it was also worn by the late Queen.
