The Crown’s Elizabeth Debicki mirrors Princess Diana in a leopard print swimsuit as she joins Prince Charles actor Dominic West to continue filming scenes for tense 1991 trip to Italy where royal couple’s marriage hung by a thread
It’s been a busy week for Princess Diana and Prince Charles actors Elizabeth Debicki and Dominic West, as they were once again spotted filming new scenes for series five of The Crown in Palma de Mallorca today.
Elizabeth, 31, stunned in a statement leopard print swimsuit, thought to be inspired by a similar ensemble worn by the Princess of Wales during a trip to Saint-Tropez in July 1997, just a month before her tragic death in a Paris car crash.
The Australian actress was joined on location by Dominic, 51, who sported a light blue check shirt, as they sailed in a boat alongside casually-dressed child actors Timothee Sambor, 11, and Teddy Hawley, seven, who are playing Princes William and Harry respectively.
Earlier this week, the four actors were sported boarding the prestigious Christina O yacht off the shore of the Balearic Island, in scenes recreating the royal family‘s trip to Italy in 1991 – which took place a year before the couple divorced.
During the Nineties, Princess Diana and Prince Charles had embarked on a holiday with their sons, then eight and six, which saw the family unified for a cruise on the Prince of Wales’ beloved Alexandra yacht, despite the couple being just months away from calling off their marriage.
Princess Diana sported a stylish animal print swimsuit in St Tropez during the summer of 1997. She accessorised with gold hoops and fashion-forward sunglasses.
It appears The Crown’s costume department took inspiration from the princess’ stylish vacation number when dressing Elizabeth for her scenes today.
