While Emma has loved playing Diana, she admits some of her early fashion choices - which are replicated on the show - weren't the best.

She told : "That was something I loved about it, basically, I loved young Diana.

"You can't understand old Diana – older Diana – properly without understanding a 19-year-old living with her flatmates, going on her first date with Charles.

"You need to understand the trajectory that she underwent. But her style was awful."

She continued: "That second time she meets Charles, when she's in those yellow dungarees, I just wanted to cry. I was like, are you joking? Awful.

"And those sweater vests. It really shows that fashion is something that grows with you. I've certainly found that.

"If I look back at pictures of me when I was younger, oh my god. Nightmare!"

While Emma had to wear some of Diana's worst early looks, she also got to wear a replica of her incredible wedding dress for the marriage scenes with Princes Charles - played by Josh O'Connor.

She said: "It was as incredible as you could imagine. It was wonderful.

"I actually really enjoyed the fittings for the dress. I'm really terrible at fittings, I'm the biggest fidget in the world. I think the whole sewing-tailor team hated me.

"But I found it fascinating because they literally had to build the wedding dress around me and it took ages. It was a very interesting process."

She added: "It makes you feel incredibly 'at one' with the thing you're wearing when you're kind of sewn into it inch by inch. Yeah, it was an amazing moment."

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