Speaking at the Season 6 premiere of The Crown in Los Angeles on Saturday, Debicki, 33, exclusively revealed to PEOPLE that she “learned a lot” playing the late princess.
"I don't think you come anywhere near sort of learning as much as I learned about this character and not feel that the only thing worth doing in life is putting love into the world,” Debicki tells PEOPLE.
Debicki also opened up about what she discovered about Princess Diana’s personality.
“I mean, I think I learned things about the degree to which she had an enormous and wicked sense of humor, the difficulties that she was facing, the way that she triumphed through them, the way she used her voice in a way that was sort of very progressive at the time,” Debicki says to PEOPLE. “Yeah, I learned a lot.”
