Our next guest is a very talented actress
who stars as Princess Diana in the brand-new season
of "The Crown," which is streaming right now on Netflix,
and everyone is watching.
Here is Emma Corrin.
Emma, thank you so much for doing this.
I'm so excited that you're here.
-Hi. Thanks for having me. I'm excited.
-I was going to ask you how the last few months
have been in quarantine,
but then I saw this photo,
and I think it pretty much sums it all up.
You playing cards with your dog.
What stage of quarantine was this?
-This was actually very early quarantine.
-Okay. -This was, like, peak lockdown.
Hadn't been outside the house in a very long time.
And we found ourselves here, yeah,
playing spit with my little puppy.
-There's a rumor I wanted to ask you about because --
And tell me if this is not true.
Again, I get all my info from Wikipedia.
And I run the website, so actually I make up the rumors.
So you should thank me later.
But I was -- Apparently I heard this,
that you have a very famous dog walker.
I read -- I don't know if you know what I'm talking about.
I read that Harry Styles walks your dog.
-Ohh. -Is that true?
-Yeah. He -- Sort of.
He once dog-sat for me.
-[ Laughs ] He did?
-The thing I love about this is also my dog has no idea,
which is I think the wonderful thing about it.
For a dog, it's just a person.
But, um...
sort of near where he lives.
And he looked after Spencer for me.
But not again. He hasn't done it again.
And I think it's because halfway through the meal
I got a message that just said,
"He won't stop farting. Is this normal?"
And --
-Was it from Spencer or from Harry?
-[ Laughs ] From Spencer.
"Emma, I'm not doing this again."
-[ Laughs ]
How good of a dude is Harry Styles.
What a nice guy.
Pal, "The Crown" premiered this weekend.
Everybody I know -- I had to text everyone and go,
"Stop. Don't tell me. Don't --"
They're like, "Yeah, but this happened."
I go, "Don't tell me anything."
For anyone who hasn't watched it yet,
could you set up what's going on this season of "The Crown"?
-Yeah, I play Diana from when she's about 16 years old
to when she's about 28, so a long, long time.
And, yeah, I love this season because it follows essentially
three incredibly brilliant women --
Well, sort of debatable.
But, well, very interesting women.
The Queen, Diana, and Thatcher.
And sort of looks at their relationship
to power and these powerful positions they've been put in
and how they grapple with it.
So, yeah, we see these sort of stories unfold
throughout the years and how they handle it, yeah.
-Well, not only did you get the look down, the hair,
but the voice was perfection.
And then I read somewhere that you also do a good Charles.
-I think so.
I spent a lot of long time on set trying to copy Josh.
-So, how would you give me advice on how to do Charles
or how to do Diana? Could you?
-Yeah, yeah. Do you want a lesson?
Oh, my God. Yeah, sure. Okay.
So, Charles, the thing they say is to basically --
If you want to say "yes" --
If you want to get into his voice, you say the word "ears."
Like ears. Ears.
-Oh. Ears.
-Ears. Ears. -Ears. Ears.
-And that's how you're saying "yes," basically.
-Wow! That is hilarious that he says "ears."
-That kind of helps. Ears. -Ears. Ears.
-And what I always did for Di was, "All right."
And she always kind of goes down at the end of everything she says.
So it'd be like, "All right. Are you all right?
I'm all right."
-[ Laughs ] See? You're very good.
"I'm all right. Are you all right?"
-I'll say to you -- I'll say,
"I'm gonna go in the other room and watch the news."
And you say, "All right." Okay?
-Okay. You're going to be Charles?
-Yeah. For this first scene, I'll be Charles.
-Okay.
-Ears. I'll be in the next room watching the news.
-All right. [ Laughter ]
Great. -That's pretty good.
Now let's switch it around. Ready?
-Okay. So I'm Charles? Okay.
Ears. I'm going to go into the other room and watch the news.
-[ Laughs ]
-You sounded French!
You sounded like Inspector Clouseau.
-[ Laughs ]
-[French accent] Do you understand?
You cannot understand what I'm doing.
I'm going to the next room to watch the news!
-[ Laughs ]
-All right. -All right!
-All right!
-All right! -Yeah, I can't --
I don't know who I'm doing.
I'm doing, like, a bad Cyndi Lauper.
-I don't know what I'm doing. I want to show everyone a clip.
Here is Emma Corrin in season four of "The Crown."
Take a look at this.
-I suppose the greatest highlight has been, well,
well, meeting all of you, the people of Australia.
You've made us feel so welcome, so at home.
-Well, perhaps. Because you've been so refreshing.
You're not what we expect from royalty.
-Well, that's because I don't think of myself as royalty.
First and foremost, I'm a wife and a mother.
That's what's most important to me.
-She really is a wonderful mother.
-And how's William getting along?
-Oh, he's having a magical time here.
-So he likes Australia? -Let's put it like this.
His favorite cuddly toy used to be a whale,
but since coming here, it's been firmly supplanted
by a koala.
-Emma Corrin. Season four of "The Crown"
is streaming right now on Netflix.
Please come back on whenever you want to
