“I'm glad it happened this way ‘round,” Roberts says of the challenge overshadowing her second year working on this series.

Roberts returned for season 4, and joined the designer for a virtual roundtable conversation to discuss the arrival of Lady Diana Spencer and her journey from shy teen to the most photographed woman in the world. In September, costume designer Amy Roberts won the Emmy for Outstanding Period Costumes-three for three in this category for the Netflix series (Michele Clapton designed for season 1, while Jane Petrie took on season 2). Her opulent wedding gown is the centerpiece, of course, but viewers will feast on her Sloane Ranger beginnings, ballgowns, and the ‘80s shoulder pads-attention to detail is a Crown signature that continues in its fourth year. The season 4 wait is over and Diana’s (Emma Corrin) arrival reflects the sensational and transformative effect she had on the royal family in real life.

The late princess has been portrayed in television movies and critically savaged big-screen biopics, but nothing has been as highly anticipated-or acclaimed-as Netflix juggernaut The Crown. The fairytale happily ever after quickly descended into marital woes, but Princess Diana’s legacy is everlasting, and more than 20 years after her untimely death, the “Diana Factor” is still in full sartorial swing.
