Elizabeth Debicki mirrored Princess Diana, who was swarmed by paparazzi in her final hours while filming The Crown season 6.
The Australian actress, 32, wore an identical gray suit and black T-shirt as the outfit worn by the late royal on the night of the tragic car crash as she and Dodi Fayed actor Khalid Abdallah left The Ritz hotel in London.
During filming in London, the crew recreated the Ritz Hotel in Paris, which was the last place Princess Diana stayed before she died in August 1997.

Wearing Diana’s signature blonde hairdo, Elizabeth left the luxury London hotel to a sea of photographers trying to snap a picture of the princess.
She wore black sunglasses to try to keep a low profile.
Also on the set was actor Harry Anton, who plays her bodyguard, Trevor Rees-Jones.
Another familiar face was also seen on the set, former Hollyoaks actor Lee Otway, although it’s unknown what role he’s cast for in the Netflix series.

The cast have been reconstructing the history of Diana’s death for several weeks, when Elizabeth was spotted in Barcelona in late October snapping footage from the ill-fated car.
However, Netflix has insisted that the crash itself will not be featured in the series.
Debicki was then spotted in the back seat of a car during filming alongside Khalid Abdalla, 40, who plays Egyptian film producer Dodi.
The Catalan city’s Francesc Macia Square has been revamped ahead of Netflix’s return to filming the scenes in French – as fans of the show are still reeling from the release of the trailer for the fifth series.

Filming for the sixth season of the Netflix drama was temporarily halted following the death of Queen Elizabeth II on September 8, but the crew have been spotted at work across Europe in recent weeks.
Production recently started in Palma de Mallorca, Spain, where the crew is believed to have filmed scenes depicting Princess Diana sailing in St Tropez with Dodi in July 1997, just weeks before her death.
Young actors Rufus Kampa and Will Powell were spotted with Debicki and Abdalla, who played Prince William and Prince Harry, who were also on holiday.
The series is also believed to feature Dodi in St Tropez with Kelly Fisher – his dumped ex-girlfriend who claimed she would marry the Egyptian billionaire’s son just days after photos of him on a yacht with the Princess appeared.
