Elizabeth Debicki Opens Up About Her Opinions On The Crown’s Future; Says It ‘Understood Its Own End’

As a devoted fan of The Crown and a spectator to the captivating performance of Elizabeth Debicki as Princess Diana, I find myself deeply moved by her insights into the show’s conclusion. Her portrayal of the beloved princess was not only critically acclaimed but also touched me on a personal level.


The concluding season of The Crown debuted towards the end of last year, and its lead actress, Elizabeth Debicki, feels that the narrative has reached an appropriate ending, suggesting it should not be prolonged further. In an interview with PEOPLE magazine, she expressed her viewpoint that the series “found a fitting culmination,” demonstrating respect for “its own natural progression.”

As a devoted fan following the six-season journey through British Royalty portrayed in the show created by Peter Morgan, I couldn’t help but commend how skillfully he brought the story to its conclusion. Six seasons is quite an investment, and it’s essential that such a vast work, covering as it does six decades of monarchical history, receives a fitting end.

Regarding the portrayal of the incident on the program, the lead actor expresses appreciation for the sensitive manner in which the showrunners handled it. There had been much discussion about how the series would end, and Debicki feels that it was “careful” and “complex.”

Indeed, The Crown is undeniably a dramatic series, a genre that grapples with the complexities of portraying real-life events while interweaving them with fictional elements. Debicki, who is part of the show’s cast, appreciates this self-awareness and creative use of storytelling techniques. “I find it intriguing,” she says, “The way the show acknowledges its genre and employs devices like that really resonates with me from a dramatic perspective, as well as from an audience standpoint.”

Playing the role of Princess Diana was undeniably transformative for her in multiple ways. Besides earning nominations for prestigious awards like this year’s Emmy Awards in the Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama category, the character deeply affected her emotionally. It was challenging for her to relinquish the character after filming had concluded, as she had adopted numerous mannerisms such as frequent head tilting that persisted even off-camera. Although these habits gradually faded over time with conscious effort, she acknowledged that it took deliberate practice: “I no longer exhibit those behaviors,” she shared with People magazine, “but I had to make a conscious effort to let them go.”
