Perched on the end of a diving board alone with her thoughts, it is one of the last photos 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 re-enacted Diana’s final holiday with boyfriend Dodi Fayed six days before their deaths on August 31, 1997.
Miss Debicki was pictured stretching out in a blue swimsuit during filming for the Netflix drama in Majorca.
She also posed in a pink patterned swimsuit as she recreated Diana’s final 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 recreating Diana’s trip to the island of Nevis in the West Indies in January 1993.
She was pictured barefoot on a villa balcony on location in Mallorca, Spain, in an oversized white t-shirt which she teamed with a pair of black sunglasses.
Diana was famously pictured wearing a white t-shirt emblazoned with a colourful print during a day trip to Banana beach with her two sons, months after her separation from Prince Charles, who is played by Dominic West.
Newcomers, Timothee Sambor and West’s son Senan will play a young Prince William, while Teddy Hawley is among those cast to play Prince Harry.
Diana was joined on the Caribbean island by her close friend Catherine Soames and her nine-year-old son Harry.

Miss Debicki has also shot scenes dressed in the pale pink shirt and black trousers the former Princess of Wales wore while promoting the Landmine Survivors Network in the Bosnian capital of Sarajevo in 1997.
Filming on the upcoming final series was suspended twice in the wake of the Queen’s death last month.
Writer Peter Morgan described The Crown as a ‘love letter’ to the late monarch, telling Deadline: ‘I expect we will stop filming out of respect too.’
Imelda Staunton, 65, has replaced Olivia Colman, 47, as the Queen while Lesley Manville, 65, has taken over from Helena Bonham Carter, 55, as Princess Margaret.
Trainspotting star Jonny Lee Miller, 49, will play former Prime Minister John Major and Jonathan Pryce, 74, will star as Prince Philip.

Other cast members include Emma Laird Craig as Sarah, Duchess of York and Marcia Warren as the Queen Mother.
Diana and Dodi were riding 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’ve been dreading getting to this point,’ a source on the production told Deadline. ‘The countdown is two weeks and while we’re calmly carrying on it’s fair to acknowledge that there’s a certain anxiety; a palpable sense of being slightly on edge.
‘I mean, there’s bombshell sensitivity surrounding this one.’
Series five launches on November 9.
