The Crown’sElizabeth Debickislipped into a bold printed top and a coordinating skirt to recreate another moment from the final years ofPrincess Diana’s life.
These latest scenes for season 5 have been filmed in Palma de Mallorca, Spain, though they appear to be re-creating a family trip to Italy the royals took in 1991 — a trip that many believe signaled a breaking point for Charles and Diana’s fractured marriage (they separated in December 1992 and finalized their divorce in August 1996).

As more images from set are released, it becomes clearer thatThe Crown’s penultimate season will present a dramatized version of the Princess of Wales coming into her own as a global icon as she stepped away from her turbulent marriage. During this time, she was navigating coparenting with Charles and facing intense scrutiny as she found her voice, both as an activist and as a woman.
The show recentlycast Khalid Abdallaas Diana’s boyfriendDodi Fayed, with whom she had a whirlwind courtship and was seen wearing similarly bold swimsuits in southern Europe during the final weeks of both their lives. So we can expect to get the show’s take on her controversial final relationship.
