First look at The Crown’s Queen Mother alongside Princess Diana in Netflix’s season 4

THE Crown's Queen Mother stepped out in some not-so-regal footwear as she filmed scenes for season four.

Actress Marion Bailey took over the role in season three when the cast was changed to reflect the ageing of the Royal Family.

Marion, 68, was seen back on set in London filming the wedding rehearsal for Princess Diana and Prince Charles dressed in a blue floral dress and matching floral headpiece, just like the one the real Queen Mother wore in real life.

However, her choice of footwear - a pair of brown Ugg-style boots - didn't quite match the rest of her look.

Marion also wrapped up against the wet weather in a puffy coat as she headed to set.

She arrived with actor Geoffrey Breton, who plays Mark Philips, who wore a red coat with a fur trimmed hood over his smart suit.

Helena Bonham Carter, who plays Princess Margaret, was also seen on set, being protected from the elements by multiple umbrellas.

She also wore a hairnet to protect her 80s do and a black puffer coat to keep warm.

Meanwhile, Emma Corrin - who plays Princess Diana - was seen in character as she filmed scenes ahead of her introduction during the show's fourth season.

The Crown's creator, Peter Morgan, said of the actress: "Emma is a brilliant talent who immediately captivated us when she came in for the part of Diana Spencer.

"As well as having the innocence and beauty of a young Diana, she also has, in abundance, the range and complexity to portray an extraordinary woman who went from anonymous teenager to becoming the most iconic woman of her generation."

As she was announced for the role, Emma added: "Beyond excited and honoured to be joining The Crown for its fourth season.
