Britsh actress Elizabeth Debicki, who played the role of  Diana in the Netflix series The Crown, has praised co-star  Humayun Saeed. She commented that Saeed is a lovely actor and a beautiful person.

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, "I absolutely adored Humayun — he was such a lovely actor, and such a beautiful person," says the actress. "You never know how that's going to feel when you're playing things like that with an actor. So I was very lucky to have him, and I think he does such a beautiful job." Debicki also found Abdalla to be "a joy to work with. Not to sound like a broken record, but I just adore him, and I think he's such a sensitive and soulful human being."

Diana's romantic journey in the '90s led her into the arms of London-based surgeon Dr. Hasnat Khan, played in season 5 by Humayun Saeed, and ultimately Dodi Fayed, who is portrayed by United 93 actor Khalid Abdalla. Debicki is full of praise for both of her costars.

 

Because of their characters' hostility towards each other, West and Debicki did not actually work together for long stretches of the shoot. Both remember fondly shooting a sequence that occurs near the end of the season and finds Charles visiting Diana at her apartment as the pair look back at their relationship.

Pertinent to note that 'People's Princess is said to have described Khan as 'Mr. Wonderful' and in May 1996, she visited his family in Lahore too. Diana’s friends are reported to have described Hasnat as the "love of her life" and to have spoken of her distress when he ended their relationship in June 1997. Dr Hasnat attended Diana's funeral ceremony as well.
