According to an article by Vanity Fair, we meet Diana when she is 16, and her life gets transformed overnight after going out with Prince Charles. The article states, “Once their fast-tracked relationship is announced, Diana is hunted by paparazzi and relocated, for privacy purposes, to the palace without any support system. The new husband and family from whom she craves love and support see her natural strengths as threats; they view her as an outsider and, even worse, competition.” Additionally, Helena Bonham-Carter (The King’s Speech and Fight Club) will be appearing later in the season for her role as Princess Margaret
Additionally, Gillian Anderson, well known for her role on X-Files and Sex Education, will be playing Margaret Thatcher, the first female prime minister of the U.K. In a statement released by Anderson, she states, “I am relishing exploring beneath the surface and, dare I say, falling in love with the icon who, whether loved or despised defined an era.”
