An executive producer of the Netflix series The Crown has said Diana, Princess of Wales's death in season six will be recreated sensitively.
The princess was 36 when she was killed in a car crash in Paris on 31 August 1997.
Speaking as part of a panel at the Edinburgh TV Festival, The Crown executive producer Suzanne Mackie said it was important for the team behind the hit series to be "sensitive".
She said: "The show might be big and noisy, but we're not. We're thoughtful people and we're sensitive people.
"And so there was a very, very careful, long, long, long conversation about how we do it - and I hope, you know, the audience will judge it in the end, but I think it's been delicately, thoughtfully recreated."
Diana will be portrayed by Elizabeth Debicki, known for her work in Tenet, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3 and The Great Gatsby.
Mackie credited Debicki as an "extraordinary actress".
She said: "She was so thoughtful, considerate and loved Diana. So there was a huge amount of respect from us all. I hope that's evident when you see it."
Mackie was joined at the Edinburgh International Conference Centre by Andy Harries, also an executive producer for The Crown.
Harries was asked if the passing of Britain's Queen Elizabeth II has impacted the show in any way.
He said: "I think that the passing of Her Majesty undoubtedly impacted on us all and [writer Peter Morgan] in particular."
He added: "It didn't change fundamentally, but it did change in a sense and when you see it I think you'll know what I mean."
Mackie said writer Morgan told her the show is a "love letter to the Queen".
She added: "I remember when she died, the news, and you can feel that it was bound to happen on that day. It was just an awful moment of when, and I couldn't get a hold of [Peter Morgan] for hours."
The Crown debuted in 2016 and has so far aired five successful seasons.
Season six will be the last and will air later this year on Netflix.
The final season is expected to show the premiership of Tony Blair and the early relationship between Prince William and Kate Middleton - now the Prince and Princess of Wales.
