The Crown season five is on Netflix and it has proven to be one of the most talked-about seasons so far. Elizabeth Debicki takes over the role of Diana, Princess of Wales from Emma Corrin for the latest outing. The season shows Diana as she starts to make a stand against the Royal Family – but just how well has the actress mastered the role?The Crown has been in the media spotlight in recent weeks as it has sparked controversy over its portrayal of certain historical events.With the latest season showing the downfall of the Princess of Wales’ marriage, there has been a lot of backlash from those closest to Diana.Viewers were keen to see how actress Elizabeth Debicki has embraced the role, and language experts at Babbel have praised the star as she had a difficult job ahead of her.Speaking to Express.co.uk Ted Mentele, Editor in Didactics said: “Elizabeth Debicki perhaps had both the easiest and hardest job in recreating Diana’s voice, considering that there is a wealth of recorded materials for the public to scrutinise when comparing Deibcki’s performance to that of Diana in real-life.READ MORE: Prince William ‘finds The Crown damaging to Royal Family’ – source The Crown: Elizabeth Debicki plays Princess Diana (Image: NETFLIX) The Crown: Charles and Diana’s marriage is at the centre (Image: NETFLIX) The Crown: Diana’s children have grown up in season 5 (Image: NETFLIX)”While Debicki certainly recreates the soft, resigned tone of Diana’s 1995 speech, we also glimpse a conversation between Philip and Diana – in which we witness a defiance in her voice as she asks if Philip wants her to ‘remain silent’.”Elizabeth has since gone viral for her portrayal with viewers claiming she looks identical to the real-life royal.After the debate over The Crown’s “fictionalized” label, she said she hoped the new disclaimer would put an end to the discussion of the show’s veracity.Speaking to Radio Times she said: “It was always very clear to me that no one can ever know what happens behind closed doors and that a writer is interpreting what may have happened.DON’T MISS… Prince Philip was furious at Netflix over portrayal in The Crown [INSIGHT] The Crown’s Lesley Manville pays tribute to co-star Timothy Dalton[DISCUSSION] King’s reputation at risk as The Crown ‘influences opinions’ [INSIGHT] The Crown: Diana and Charles in season 5 (Image: NETFLIX)”In fact, when we take a look at the real Charles’ voice during this era, it seems that West has softened his accent for The Crown as he doesn’t emphasise RP, especially when compared to previous actors portraying Charles.”West’s adaptation may reflect Charles’ efforts to win back the British public, who gravitated towards taking Diana’s side in the divorce.”In 1996, after being separated for four years, Prince Charles and Diana officially divorced.Just a few years earlier, on December 9, 1992, Prime Minister John Major announced: “It is announced from Buckingham Palace that, with regret, the Prince and Princess of Wales have decided to separate.”The Crown seasons 1-5 are on Netflix now
