Elizabeth Debicki will play Princess Diana in the final two seasons of The Crown.
The Great Gatsby actor will take over from newcomer Emma Corrin who will make her appearance in the role in season four.
The news was announced via the official Twitter account of the show.
The 29-year-old said in a statement: “Princess Diana’s spirit, her words and her actions live in the hearts of so many. It is my true privilege and honour to be joining this masterful series, which has had me absolutely hooked from episode one.”
