Will the fans be happy with this one?
The show is looking for a ‘mesmerising new star’ to play the late princess aged 18-22 in a role that is set to ‘ruffle a few feathers’.The casting ad, seen by The Sun,‘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,’ it reads.
A source added that creator Peter Morgan ‘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.’Rosemary’s Baby, released in 1968, follows a young mum who believes she is pregnant with the Devil’s child.The Crown season three stars Olivia Colman as Queen Elizabeth II, taking over the role from Claire Foy in seasons one and two. She is joined by Helena Bonham-Carter as her sister Princess Margaret.
Colman will play the role for two seasons before the cast changes again to accurately portray the royals when they are older.In the new series, the Queen’s life with Prince Charles will move even further into the public eye. Her relationship with then Prime Minister Harold Wilson will also be at the centre of the story. One episode will include the Apollo 11 moon landing, and Prince Philip’s reaction to it, while others will feature the decolonisation of Africa and the Carribean and the birth of Prince Edward.Metro.co.uk has contacted Netflix for commentIf you've got a story, video or pictures get in touch with the Metro.co.
