Elizabeth Debicki slipped into a red shift dress on Thursday as she once again transformed into Princess Diana to film new scenes for Netflix hit The Crown.
The Australian actress, 32, bore a remarkable resemblance to the late royal as she joined actor Rufus Kampa - who plays a young Prince William - on set in Palma De Mallorca, Spain, with the two seen boarding a speed boat.
Filming of new scenes came just days after work on the series was paused following Queen Elizabeth II's passing earlier this month.

Elizabeth looked at ease as she reclined on her seat on the boat while chatting to Adrian Mole star Rufus, who was cast as the 15-year-old Prince last month.

Elizabeth was seen strolling past pretty villas and walking down stone steps before making her way down to the speedboat.
The star was surrounded by crew members as the production ploughed on following a brief break in filming days previously.

The Crown recently resumed production on its sixth and final series in Barcelona after filming was paused for a single day following the death of Queen Elizabeth II.
Diana star Elizabeth was seen filming one of the late royals' final public appearances, when she visited the Bosnian capital of Sarajevo, just four days after work on the series was paused following the monarch's passing.
No doubt The Crown is adhering to a strict filming schedule to ensure its sixth and final series is released by Netflix on time, having been pushed back by its day-long pause in the wake of The Queen's passing.

Last Thursday, star Imelda Staunton, who is playing an older version of Her Majesty in the Netflix series following predecessors Claire Foy and Olivia Colman, was seen in character as she prepared to leave the set.
A scene covering Princess Diana's tragic death in Paris in August 1997 was scheduled to be filmed on Friday in Barcelona, Spain.
However, SER Catalunya have reported scenes that would cover Princess Diana's death in August 1997 were being suspended following the death of Her Majesty.
The set, which had been built in a district of Barcelona, had been modified to resemble a Parisian street with French road signs.

Netflix had reportedly devised a plan, also named Operation London Bridge like the official funeral plan for the Queen, to outline what the production company for The Crown would do in the event of her passing.
One of the show's creators Stephen Daldry said when the show first premiered in 2016 the cast would likely stop production, saying: 'It would be a simple tribute and a mark of respect. She's a global figure and it's what we should do.'
Peter Morgan, writer of the drama, was quoted after news of the Queen's death was confirmed as saying: 'The Crown is a love letter to her and I've nothing to add for now, just silence and respect. I expect we will stop filming out of respect too.'
