When asked how it felt knowing that Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle were among the show's viewers and watched her portraying Diana, Corrin said:

"[...]I feel like it's a slippery slope and if I start worrying about who's seen it and what they think, it becomes stressful."

The 25-year-old actress added that she is comfortable knowing what the series' cast and crew have created are based on its writer, Peter Morgan's version of things, which hopefully is its own thing.

This is not the first time Corrin is speaking about her portrayal of Princess Diana in "The Crown." In February, she also discussed what she had to do to embody the late royal's character fully.

While speaking during the Golden Globes Twitter pre-show, Corrin said it was a journey to get into the character and added that she went through several different stages.

She did a lot of research into the different phases of Diana's life that the show covered and worked with William Conacher, a dialect coach, on her voice, movement, and character.

One of the most memorable moments for Corrin and "The Crown" fans was when she wore Princess Diana's wedding gown, which the series' production team did its best to replicate.

Speaking about the moment she wore the dress, Corrin revealed that everyone went utterly silent immediately she walked out. Many fans have wondered if royal family members watch "The Crown."
