The Crown fans call out blunder with Emma Corrin’s Princess Diana pics from Netflix’s season 4 – did you spot it?

THE Crown fans have called out a blunder with Emma Corrin's Princess Diana pictures from Netflix's season four.

The streaming service's official Twitter account revealed a series of new pictures from the forthcoming season on Tuesday.

One featured Emma - who will make her debut as Princess Diana in the series - dressed in a lemon suit as she was being photographed on the street by the paparazzi.

While the costumes on the characters and the cars on the street were all appropriate for the 1980s setting, some eagle-eyed fans noticed a modern-day London red double decker bus passing in the background.

The fans immediately took to Twitter to point out the oversight, with one writing: "Not the Boris bus in the background of the Diana shot though."

Another added: "They can’t even pretend it’s the old style routemaster buses."

Meanwhile a third went so far as to tweet: "OMFG!!! YOU HAVE RUINED THE CROWN!!!"

However, other fans pointed out that the pictures are on set photos not actual stills from the show, so it could mean the bus won't be in the scene when it hits Netflix next month.

Emma also featured in another new picture from season four, this time wearing a purple gown as she arrives at a Royal Variety Performance alongside Josh O'Connor, who plays Prince Charles.

Meanwhile Gillian Anderson, 52, featured in another picture on the steps of 10 Downing Street dressed in blue as former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher.

The pictures were captioned: "It’s time. Here’s your first look at @GillianA
as Margaret Thatcher and Emma Corrin as Princess Diana in Season 4 of
@TheCrownNetflix."

Another snap features Olivia Colman and Tobias Menzies as an older version of The Queen and Prince Phillip attending a Royal Variety Performance.

Helena Bonham Carter is seen as Princess Margaret, looking sorrowful as she stairs out of a window at her holiday home.

The final picture sees Emerald Fennell return as Camilla Parker Bowles and her taking the hand of love rival Diana, with viewers having seen her romance with Charles crash and burn at the end of season three.

The Crown season four premieres on Netflix November 15, while seasons 1-3 are available now.
