Emma-Louise Corrin (born 13 December 1995) is an English actor. They[a] portrayed Diana, Princess of Wales in the fourth season of the Netflix period drama series The Crown in 2020, for which they won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress – Television Series Drama and were nominated for the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series.
Why Emma Corrin left The Crown?
As with previous seasons, the entire cast of The Crown has been replaced for the fifth and sixth seasons to reflect the changing age of the characters.
The fourth season highlighted Prince Charles and Princess Diana’s doomed romance. For her performance, she won a Golden Globe Award and was nominated for an Emmy.
Emma, however, will not be reprising the role in the upcoming season 5, which takes place after a time leap and focuses on an older Diana.
Elizabeth Debicki—who has had starring roles in Baz Luhrmann’s The Great Gatsby, Steve McQueen’s Widows, and Christopher Nolan’s Tenet —will take over the role of Diana, Princess of Wales from Emma Corrin in Season 5 of The Crown.
