TheCrown's Elizabeth Debicki discusses playing the many different sides of Diana in Season 5, filming Episode 9's Charles and Diana scene, and more.
Over the last several seasons of Netflix’s hit series The Crown, from creator and showrunner Peter Morgan, audiences have been able to watch the struggles of the British Royal Family play out since Queen Elizabeth’s ascent to the throne began in the 1940s.
ELIZABETH DEBICKI: I do what I can. It's taken me years to really own that space as well. It's not easy. Society really, really makes women feel that it's more usual for them to be smaller than take up space. It takes time to get there, but I do what I can. DEBICKI: Well, I did. I've watched an enormous amount. You know, instinctively, that that's a really important layer that you get right. Same as vocal work. We have a movement coach on The Crown. Her name's Polly Bennett. She's a genius. It's her job.
The thing underneath it, which is something that Peter wrote and something I really embraced as an actor, is that the thing underneath that is actually a very vulnerable thing. It's a very raw thing. We definitely see it with Emma, and then we see it through Season 5. It's something that's still forming because it's very difficult to grow into yourself naturally.
That was a joy to do that because we didn't feel the constraints of time, which is something that affects you a lot when you're making TV. We really got to delve into it. It was a joy to do it with Dom because he's an amazing actor. We really both loved doing that scene because it's almost the only scene we get together. It was a real treat to come in and do that for a few days.
