The fourth season picks up in the late 1970s. Queen Elizabeth (Olivia Colman) and her family find themselves preoccupied with safeguarding the line of succession by securing an appropriate bride for Prince Charles (Josh O`Connor). That's where Lady Diana comes into the picture.
Princess Diana's fairytale turned sour British television series "The Crown" for the first time this season.
Focusing on the 1980s, the new season released on Netflix on Sunday delves into the marriage of Diana and heir to the throne Prince Charles, as well as Diana's struggles with bulimia and both of their affairs. However, it is not the first time that Diana's life has been dramatized since her death at age 37 in a Paris car crash in 1997.
Diana's life, which she told through unprecedented television interviews and to Andrew Morton for his 1992 biography "Diana: Her True Story," has elements of romance, tragedy, lovers and royalty that make it ripe for being revisited multiple times.

Emma Corrin, 24, the newcomer who plays the young Diana, was not even two years old when the princess died, acknowledged that it was daunting to take on such a beloved figure.
So, today, as the Netflix series finds (or maybe not) its place in the audience's hearts and mind, we take a look at some photos of the charming Princess of Wales that'll remind us of the beauty that she was.
Take a look.
