New pictures from the set of The Crown reveal the actress cast to play Princess Diana bears a striking resemblance to the late royal.

Shooting is underway for the fourth season of Netflix’s drama about the British monarchy, which will introduce the Prince Charles and Diana story.

Little-known actress Emma Corrin will be playing Diana, and she is the spitting image of the Princess in the latest photos.

Photos from the set that emerged in October also showed an eery similarity between Corrin and Diana.

It comes as streaming giant Netflix releases its viewing figures for The Crown for the first time.

The figures reveal a total of 73 million households worldwide have watched the show since it began in 2016.

The third season was watched in 21 million homes in its first four weeks, which is 40 per cent more than saw the second season over the same time period.

The third season, which premiered on Netflix in November, had a new cast to portray the ageing members of the British monarchy, with Oscar-winning actress Olivia Colman replacing Claire Foy as Queen Elizabeth II.

The season 3 cast won a Screen Actors Guild award this year for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series.
