Diana’s original dress for her wedding to Charles featured a 25-foot train and around 10,000 pearls.
The fourth series of the hit Netflix show is set in the 1970s as Olivia Colman’s Queen and her family find themselves preoccupied with safeguarding the line of succession by securing an appropriate bride for Charles, who is still unmarried at 30.
It also documents tension between the monarch and Margaret Thatcher, played by Gillian Anderson, as the Prime Minister leads the country into the Falklands War, generating conflict within the Commonwealth.
The fourth series also stars Helena Bonham Carter as Princess Margaret, Tobias Menzies as the Duke of Edinburgh, Erin Doherty as Princess Anne and Marion Bailey as the Queen Mother.
It has previously been announced that Imelda Staunton will replace Colman as the Queen for the final two series of the show, while Jonathan Pryce will play Philip, Elizabeth Debicki will play Diana and Lesley Manville will play Margaret.
The fourth series of The Crown will stream on Netflix from November 15.
