Sitting alone with her mind on the end of a diving board, it is one of the last photographs taken of Princess Diana before her death.
Now Elizabeth Debicki has recreated the famous shot for the sixth and final series of The Crown.
The Australian actress, 32, looked identical to the late royal as she reenacted Diana’s last holiday with friend Dodi Fayed, six days before their deaths on August 31, 1997.
Miss Debicki was pictured stretching in a blue swimsuit while filming for the Netflix drama in Mallorca.
She also posed in a pink patterned bathing suit as she reenacted Diana’s last cruise from the south of France to the Italian coast on Dodi’s yacht.
Miss Debicki stars alongside British-Egyptian actor Khalid Abdalla, who plays Dodi, and Imelda Staunton, who replaces Olivia Colman as the Queen.

The latest images come weeks after Miss Debicki was pictured mimicking Diana’s trip to the island of Nevis in the West Indies in January 1993.

Diana and Dodi were sitting in the passenger seats of a Mercedes-Benz driven by Henri Paul, a security officer at The Ritz, when they were killed in a collision in Paris.
The final series of The Crown will not film the crash, according to sources.
“We were scared to get to this point,” a source at the production said Deadline. “The countdown is two weeks and as we go on calmly, it’s fair to recognize that there is a certain fear; a palpable feeling of being a little tense.
“I mean, there’s an explosive sensibility around this one.”
Series five launches on November 9.
