How Do The On-Screen Outfits In The Crown Compare To The Real Ones Worn By Princess Diana?

This Catherine Walker shift dress, complete with a double-buckle waist belt, was masterfully recreated for this series of The Crown. (And they even managed to imitate her curved gold clip-ons to perfection.)

Prince Charles (as he was then) with his sons, William and Harry, who spent part of their summer holiday at Balmoral. As you can see, The Crown's version is a very near match. Apart from the colours of the kilt and sporran, it's like playing a game of spot the difference.

This Gottex swimsuit has actually been re-released by the brand who made the original back in the '90s - and is available to buy in a limited run of 250 cosies.

Princess Diana's funeral features in the first half of this series, for which the costume designers reimagined this rather sombre dress coat worn with a respectfully unshowy string of pearls for the Queen.

The plunging silhouette, the beaded surface; this dress looks very similar to one she wore in 1995. Its designer was Catherine Walker, a favourite of Princess Diana, and the colour is very similar to the ice blue gown she famously wore to the Cannes Film Festival.

Could this cossie be based on the leopard-spotted suit she wore in Necker Island?

The print isn't exactly the same, but the padded shoulders and power earrings would suggest that this outfit is a rendition of the below look that she wore for a visit to Seville.

Everything about this look is perfect, from the detailing on the hat to the bow-tied belt.

Diana loved bold colours, like this striped red suit and coordinating hat.

We'd like to imagine that after posing for pictures this day at Highgrove, Princess Diana then rollerbladed around the palace.

Not many people could pull off a bold houndstooth suit, but Diana – and Emma – certainly can.

If only the dancing girl emoji was wearing a blue dress...

The royals love their tartan, don't they?

Princess Diana was no novice when it came to red carpet dressing, as seen here in this gorgeous silver dress for a premiere in Leicester Square.

For casual weekends in the country with Prince Charles, Diana loved a printed jumper.

For her engagement announcement to Prince Charles, Diana wore a deep blue dress – which many compare to the dress Kate Middleton, which was from Issa, wore for her engagement announcement to Prince William – with a white-and-blue patterned scarf. The Crown's costume department got it spot on.

We couldn't be more obsessed with this look if we tried: a young Lady Diana Spencer, wearing yellow dungarees, attends a polo match in July 1981.

It's one of the most famous dresses in the world, and we think this version is almost as beautiful as the original.

Princess Diana loved a floral print, but we think this one-sleeved look from looks most similar to the dress she wore to the premiere of When The Whales Came.

In June 1981, Princess Diana wore a stunning red Bellville Sassoon dress to the premiere of the Bond film For Your Eyes Only, which looks like the inspiration for this look from The Crown.
