Emma Corrin played Princess Diana in the fourth season of the hit Netflix series The Crown, but initially she didn't even qualify for a role in the project. Emma was hired by the production team to help audition the actresses casting for the role of Camilla Parker Bowles.

It turns out the directors did not consider Emma's candidacy for the role at all until they compared her acting skills with other actresses who came to the casting. Emmy Award-Winning Casting Director Robert Stern explains how it all really happened. Then the applicants for the roles of Camilla and Diana had to act out the scene of a tense dinner between two rivals, and Emma simply read the text for Diana. Robert explained that he usually acts as a reader himself, but at that time it was decided to invite someone from the outside. Corrine got so used to the role of Lady Dee and read so deeply that the whole film crew at some point began to look at her, and not at those actresses who auditioned for the role of Camilla. A year later, the producers began to look for a candidate for the role of the princess - and the name of Emma Corrin immediately occurred to them.
