For some time now, the series knew how to find a prominent place within homes. They came to stay and there are more and more alternatives. The industry works hard to meet the needs of the user, who demands a good product. With the different online transmission platforms at your fingertips and the possibility to choose, the demand is greater.

At that point, one of Netflix's workhorses is The Crown, a drama that focuses on the life of Queen Elizabeth II, but encompasses different issues of English royalty. Why is it one of the most chosen? Although it is clarified all the time that it is fiction, today it is causing a great headache to the British government because of the details that come to light. Thus, the discomfort of the rulers for what is shown makes the viewer believe that the story is very close to reality.

Its strengths are reflected in the meticulous care of what is told, but also in the historical moments chosen by its writer and creator, Peter Morgan. Beyond the curiosity for the backdrops that come to light, the focus points to the quality of the actors who narrate the drama. Artists who passed a rigorous casting before putting themselves in the shoes of the character who was their lot.

The debut of the first season was in 2016. Acclaimed by the public, The Crown immediately became a rage. The excitement that was greater since April 2019, when the great secret was revealed: the entrance of the character of Lady Di to the plot. In August last year, the 20th anniversary of the death of Diana of Wales in a traffic accident that occurred in Paris, France, and the memory made the attention was greater.

The rumors about the People's Princess, the way she died -beyond the fact that Justice was already issued and decreed that it was an accident-, make the other side of the screen want to know a little more about what the message of the authorized word says.

In fiction, the one who puts himself in the shoes of who was the wife of Prince Charles is the actress Emma Corrin. As soon as she appeared on the screen during this 2020, with the characterization and looked as Diana, there were not a few who saw a surprising physical resemblance. With the passage of the chapters, the quality of his interpretation also became known. She immediately became one of the favorites of the audience, for her own merit, but also for embodying one of the favorite women of almost everyone.

For many, the role you are playing will change the course of your working life. It is expected that this will be Emma Corrin's takeoff and that from now on, she will be a participant in great projects, and now, with what she is generating, in a leading way.

Beforehand, it is noted that Corrin is unknown to the film industry due to a chronological issue; When she applied for this role, she had barely graduated from college for a year. It is just taking its first steps, and although it is doing so in spades, its record is limited. Not for that less striking. "Emma has such a talent that we were immediately captivated when she auditioned for the role of Diana Spencer," Morgan commented in the presentation of the star of the moment.

The father of the series added the reasons why they did not think twice when hiring her. It was not complex to stay with Emma for one of the most transcendent roles. "In addition to having the same innocence and beauty as Diana when she was young, she also has the ability to portray an extraordinary woman who went from being an anonymous teenager to becoming the most iconic woman of her generation."

Emma was born in December 1995 - on the 13th she turned 25 - in Royal Tunbridge Well, a city located 30 kilometers from London, England. Her father is an English businessman and her mother is a speech therapist who was born in South Africa but grew up in the UK from a very young age.

As he told last year, his interest in acting and dance - another of his passions - was born at school age. She went to a Catholic school, a boarding school for women only where the aforementioned disciplines were part of the teaching. When he finished college, he took a year off, then went to London and enrolled at the Academy of Music and Dramatic Art in a Shakespeare course. Later she was a volunteer teacher at a school in Knysna, South Africa, and at the same time, she studied Drama at the University of Bristol and then plunged into the career in which she shines today. He dropped out of school when he realized that he had a lot of theory in his head, but no experience.

Since he finished school, to pay for his studies and help around his home, he worked in different positions and went through various jobs. During the summer of 2018, he sold underwear. She left her post when called to be a part of just one chapter at Grantchester. He then appeared in four chapters at Pennyworth, until the big break came.

The casting of life

The Crown is the jewel in your own crown. The place where you can bring out your own talents. To stay with the place he had to compete with renowned actresses and with a legacy in the film industry. In addition, beforehand, the uncertainty for her was in being able to fulfill the expectations, which she began to do from the casting itself, although knowing that whoever is on the other side, sitting in an armchair, can still be much more rigorous than the cruelest of the directors.

He was also saddened by not knowing how his performance was going to fall in the UK, where Diana left a great legacy and self-love that is still breathed in its streets. An infinity of questions came together that did not affect Emma; on the contrary, he knew how to take advantage of them. “Everybody told me that now I was going to be famous, that life was going to change for me. That terrified me, but at the same time, I knew it was an opportunity to grow."

“I've been hooked on the show and joining this amazing and talented family is fantastic. Diana was an icon and her effect on the world remains profound and inspiring. Being able to put me in his skin is the most exceptional opportunity and I will do my best to do it justice, "said the actress when she began recording her inclusion in the series.

Upon joining the cast, he did so with special requests to the director. Complex moments in the life of the princess that she did not want to ignore to give more reality to the series, and that was accepted. One of them, his eating problems: Diana herself made reference when speaking of a stormy past. It was a way for her story to serve as an example; that's why Carrien wanted to reflect it again in the series.

“Before she started filming, she was rehearsing her body language a lot with videos of her. That's when I decided to send a note to the writing team asking them to include something related to their fight for bulimia to show in more detail how much it affected his life, " Corrin told Radio Times weeks ago. “To speak about the subject in an honest way was to show it crudely. Diana was very honest about her experience with this disease and we should not be shy. "

As for her private life, Emma assures that she is not dating and maintains that it is due to a matter of free time, which, precisely, she does not have. The focus on his work took away from him everything else, but he does not deny that. "I don't even have time to take care of myself", she said respectfully, laughing.

Another peculiarity, in a world connected by social networks, is that Emma, ​​contrary to what usually happens with people her age, did not have an account on Instagram. It wasn't something that caught his eye. A user was opened in the middle of last year when she was summoned for The Crown.
