We have adored season three of The Crown. Olivia Colman and Tobias Menzies have mesmerized audiences with their phenomenal portrayals of Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip.

However, there’s one major figure we have yet to meet in the drama series who is bound to impress viewers.

Princess Diana.

Diana, who was often referred to as the People’s Princess, is set to feature in season four of the drama series and we are beyond excited about it.

As well as Diana, a young Prince William also joins the fourth installment of the Netflix series.

The cast are currently filming season four and we’ve been given our first glimpse at baby William and we’ve got to say he’s as cute as can be.

Emma Corrin (Princess Diana) and Josh O’ Connor (Prince Charles) are currently filming the royal tour of Australia and New Zealand which took place in 1983, a year after William was born.

Corrin was spotted filming a scene where she is boarding the plane for her first royal tour and behind her is the royal nanny with baby William in her arms.

It is believed she refused to leave William at home so this marked his first royal tour too.

Season three of The Crown is currently on Netflix. Season four is set to air in 2020.

Season three of The Crown has received heaps of praise since it aired on Netflix last weekend. However, we must admit we do miss the old cast.

Claire Foy and Matt Smith’s on-screen chemistry was so endearing and the show just isn’t the same without them. Olivia Colman and Tobias Menzies are phenomenal, but we can’t help but miss the original royals.

But fear not, we may be seeing more of Claire Foy in future episodes. The actress was spotted filming flashback scenes for season four of The Crown and we couldn’t be happier about her return.

The actress will return to play Queen Elizabeth II for a special throwback scene. She was photographed delivering the Queen’s famous 21st birthday speech scene this week.

The snap was shared on fan account 'Claire Foy Club' and followers were thrilled to see Claire return.

One said, “Season 3 is not the same without her! So glad we will see her again!”

Another added, “Bring them all back. I really miss all the actors.”

“I love The Crown & Claire Foy is my favourite Queen,” another gushed.

Claire Foy starred as Queen Elizabeth in the first two seasons of The Crown. However, the actress was then replaced by Olivia Colman who portrays a middle-aged Queen Elizabeth in season three and four of the popular drama series.

As much as we adore Colman’s portrayal, there’s something about Claire’s that is impossible to beat. 

We can’t help but wonder if more of the original cast will be featured in a future episode.

We’d love to see Vanessa Kirby dazzle as Princess Margaret again.

After what felt like a lifetime, The Crown finally returns to Netflix this weekend. Season three of the phenomenal drama series lands on Netflix on Sunday, November 17 and we’re in for a real treat this season.

The stellar cast are bound to win fans over and impress viewers with their portrayal of the Royal Family.

The third season of The Crown sees a new guard sweep into Downing Street, as Queen Elizabeth (Olivia Colman) and her family struggle to meet the challenges of a rapidly changing Britain. 

From cold-war paranoia, through to the jet-set and the space age – the exuberance of the 1960s and the long hangover of the 1970s – Elizabeth and the Royals must adapt to a new, more liberated, but also more turbulent world.

Season three storylines include the breakdown of Princess Margaret and Lord Snowden’s marriage and the death Lord Mountbatten.

Prince Charles and Princess Anne will be more central characters this season with a significant focus on the future king’s love life, including the early days of his relationship with Camilla Parker Bowles.

Written by Peter Morgan, The Crown also stars Helena Bonham Carter as Princess Margaret, Tobias Menzies as The Duke of Edinburgh, Josh O'Connor as Prince Charles, Erin Doherty as Princess Anne, Ben Daniels as Lord Snowdon, Jason Watkins as Prime Minister Harold Wilson and Charles Dance as Lord Mountbatten.

We’ve been waiting far too long for the third season of The Crown to return to Netflix and it looks like we’ll be waiting even longer than we hoped.

Fans of the show are going to have to wait another few months to see Olivia Colman, Tobias Menzies, Ben Daniels and Helena Bonham Carter take on the iconic roles of Britain’s Royal Family.

According to Deadline, the third season of The Crown will air in the second half of the year, which means we have to wait until after July to binge-watch the show.

Netflix commented: “We’re looking forward to a strong slate of global content in the second half of the year, including new seasons of some of our biggest series.”

It is understood that season three will be set during the 1970s. The Duke of Windsor passed away in 1972, so we have a feeling his death will be a major storyline during season three.

The Crown has finally found their Princess Diana. The beloved drama series announced that Emma Corrin will play Lady Diana Spencer in series four of The Crown.

Commenting on the major role, the actress gushed: “I have been glued to the show and to think I’m now joining this incredibly talented acting family is surreal.

“Princess Diana was an icon and her effect on the world remains profound and inspiring. To explore her through Peter Morgan’s writing is the most exceptional opportunity ad I will strive to do her justice.”

Diana will appear in the fourth series of the popular Netflix show.

The casting advert for the role of Diana was revealed earlier this year.

It read: “She has to play charming comedy, flirt and social exhibitionist on the world stage, desperate and lonely self-harmer at her lowest ebb and the kind of psychological intensity of Mia Farrow in Rosemary’s Baby.”

A source revealed that The Crown’s creator Peter Morgan has no intention of holding back from telling Diana’s true story.

It is said the Royal Family may not be impressed with her character. The source revealed: “[He] is not going to hold back on how Diana impacted the Royal Family, just as he didn’t when he wrote The Queen. It could ruffle a few feathers.’

There’s no doubt the next few series of The Crown are going to be extremely exciting. We can’t wait to see Emma Corrin play Diana. There’s no doubt she’ll do an impeccable job.

The third series of The Crown will reportedly air later this year.

Claire Foy has gained international recognition for her powerful portrayal of Queen Elizabeth II in The Crown, Lisbeth Salander in The Girl in the Spider’s Web and now as Janet Armstrong in First Man.

As part of her acceptance speech for the #SeeHer recognition gong at the Critics' Choice Awards, she delivered a moving statement about the complexities of female roles.

She became the third actor to receive the accolade, which was launched by the Association of National Advertisers in 2016.

She followed in Viola Davis' and Gal Gadot's footsteps, winning the award which aims to increase the number of accurate depictions of women across the media.

Foy made sure to speak about how numerous people refer to her role in the 2018 Neil Armstrong biopic First Man as "just the wife", which she strongly opposes.

“I’ve had the opportunity to play some extraordinary women, for all sorts of reasons, and none more so than Janet Armstrong,” Foy said.

"She lived her life with such bravery and resilience and determination and love," she added.

“I can’t tell you how many times during the making of the movie and in the press tour that people said to me, ‘Well that part is normally the part of just the wife’." 

“And there’s no such thing as ‘just the wife’.” This statement got rapturous applause from the star-studded audience, clearly emphatically agreeing with the British actress.

Foy illustrated that it’s an actor’s responsibility to question who they portray, how they portray them and “how we want people to see themselves on screen” to create change.

Viola Davis presented Foy with the award, and Foy explained how she’d previously watched Davis’ acceptance speech for the 2016 #SeeHer award in preparation for her own.

She was eternally inspired by the outstanding Widows actor’s words that “the greatest privilege in your life is to be who you are.” WE STAN.

The actress concluded by saying she hopes the #SeeHer award will give her “encouragement” to be “brave enough to face and see myself”, and that she hopes it will also help others to do the same.
