Imagine having to tell your sons that their mother is dead... anybody would have cried as charles did, regardless how much he might have 'hated her'. According to most reports he truly was more devastated than what most would have imagined. And besides he always did admire her as a mother
Ummmm….read Prince Harry’s autobiography “Spare.” According to him it did not go down like this at all. Prince Harry said that his father didn’t even hug him after he told him about Princess Diana’s death. Prince Charles just patted Harry on the knee and walked out the room. And they barely spoke about it again.
@@s.w.d4010Harry has said a lot of things to hurt his family. Anything he says needs to be taken with a grain of salt.
I know someone who had to tell her daughter that her ex-husband had died in a car accident. This person hated her ex but knew the news would devastate her children and it broke her heart.
Thats how my cousins dad told her, at 8, that her mom passed. His wife of 20 years, that he had been with since 14 years of age. Just walked in, told her, patted her on the leg and left. Shock is insane. Shock+kids is even worse. @@s.w.d4010
@@s.w.d4010 Spare? Where he said that "Willy hit me and broke a dog bowl" and there's also the 'frozen todger' bit? Nah i'll pass
I don’t think Charles hated Diana. He just wasn’t romantically in love with her. Regardless, he was most likely devastated because their boys lost a mother and how she died was horrific.
Of course he could not stand her upstaging him.
What? None of them coudl stand that she was the star of the family only because she was a great and kind human being. If they just shrugged aside teh royal cape and became humans themselves to the public they would be just as loved.
He literally called her “the enemy” lol
@@jofoxworth3111 divorce sucks but when he went to Paris to bring her home I saw him crying its on tape
@@aprilgosa5779 Im talking about the series tho.
Even though Dominic West doesn't really look that much like Charles at that point in his life, he honestly deserves to win an Emmy just for his acting in this scene alone.
No one in the cast of The Crown looks like the real people they represent. The few exceptions were the actor who played Dodi, the actor who played Mohamed, the actress who played Anne in the previous season.
@@Threeleebirdand diana omg she looks the same
yes
Ability over appearance!
Whether you believe Charles cried over Diana like that or not, you cannot deny this guys acting was insane. You can actually feel his agony, with no sound, even if it never existed for the real Charles 😢 😭
Edit: Guys I'm not saying Charles didn't cry ik he wasn't a psychopath. I'm just saying even if he wasn't THIS sad (which idk if he was or not) Dominic's acting made us believe he was no matter what happened.
I'm pretty sure it's been confirmed, that Charles was very heartbroken over Diana's death.
Dominick West is a great actor.
@@roosaheikkinen8468for himself maybe. He was worried people would blame him for her death. That’s what he said to friends when it first happened. Not worrying about his motherless sons! 🤦🙄
Could not agree more!
He cried here like he at least loves here
i just felt bad for harry and william. they lost such a loving mother at a young age and in such a tragic way. i wish she was still here and got to see her children grow up
I wish she'd been able to meet her grandchildren. I'm sure she would have loved them. They would have loved her.
I wished Diana got to see me become Queen and I was Queen of hearts when I was 13. Diana would have loved Woody.EXE so much as he continues supporting me his Queen
I still feel for them
The whole episode was so gut wrenching and so moving. The acting was so spot on.
The family planned the whole thing
@@TOCC50no they didn’t 🙄
I believe that Charles became closer to Diana after the divorce. Obviously not as before, but I believe that humanity prevailed in their relationship for their children. Diana, even informally, has always been part of the royal family.
Charles' cry, in my opinion, was a cry for the loss of his friend, not his ex-wife. Moreover, he wept for his children and for what Diana represented to that family.
Charles may have been wrong, and he may have been wrong a lot. Of course, he's human like the rest of us. And because he's human, I believe that the peace between him and Diana was real.
That's what people didn't get. William once also said that his parents were happier apart. It was a miserable marriage. Charles did left Camilla and tried to love Diana. But you can't force love. After the divorce, Diana were free to do what she wanted and free to date anyone after the divorce. Charles was finally able to be with the person he always loved. Diana could always see, talk and take her kids anytime she wanted too. She kept her title and she was provided for. She was dating someone at the time of her death as well. If the death is reversed, Diana would probably cry over the death of her children's father and someone she was married. Despite being a miserable marriage, they must've had some happy moments.
I agree! I honestly think that Diana and Charles were victims of the royal family's traditionalism. They tried, but it didn't work out, and that's fine! Diana wasn't a perfect person either, just like the current king, but I think they found a balance in the divorce. They had William and Harry. So, one way or another, the marriage was successful @@a.l8061
@@a.l8061 If only Charles hadn't nagged at Queen Elizabeth about Diana keeping her HRH status, she may still be with us today. From what I've read (and these are what have been described as reliable royal sources not gossip rag mags), the Queen was fine with Diana keeping the HRH as well as the title Princess of Wales as part of the divorce settlement but Charles bitched about it so much that she threw up her hands and basically gave in. Once Diana lost the HRH status, she lost her Scotland Yard protection officers and there can be no doubt that they would have not allowed her to ride in that car with Henri Paul driving. Maybe she would have argued against it, but I think she would have yielded because she always felt safest with those detectives. Perhaps Charles broke down because he thought about that fact, that taking the HRH from her was absolutely unnecessary and even worse, petty. She was the mother of the future King of England barring a constitutional change or revolution ousting the House of Windsor. She deserved to continue being known as HRH Diana, Princess of Wales even after divorcing Charles. I pray now that when the time comes, William will keep his promise and return her HRH status to her when he becomes king--it is what she deserves, even in death.
Charles broke with tradition at Diana's funeral by wearing a blue suit, one that she helped him choose.
I agree. I believe two things. Had Diana lived but had severe injuries, he'd moved heaven and earth to make sure she was cared for and loved. Had she walked away, I believe they would have had an amazing brother/sister relationship. And she would have been a friend to HM Queen Camilla.
I appreciate the detail in the Queen being very upset but not crying. I don’t know if that was a real issue she had, but I recall in the second season a powerful scene where she discussed not being able to cry - even when something was devastating to her.
It was the main point of the Aberfan season 3 episode
I wonder how they covered the Queens reaction to the 9/11 attacks because it truly devastated me finding out from my sister in 2019. My inspiration from the flight 93 passengers lives on and that’s how I’m going out in 2024 by fighting back like they did
Classic case of emotional neglect as a child. She was groomed for the role of future queen from a very young age in post-WWII Britain. It makes sense that she would have problems expressing emotions later in life.
Like you said, I’m not sure how accurate to real life this is, but it’s a very interesting portrayal.
She cried over a boat
@@Sunsets-nr6lvIt wasn’t just a boat, it was her getaway for 43 years.
The Crown got so many things wrong, but one thing that it did get right was the fact that Charles and Diana became good friends after the divorce. It must've been gut wrenching for him to hear of her death.
He cared for her so much more in death than in life. He's the one who pushed for her to get as close to a state funeral as possible.
And he's the one who pushed to take a royal flight to Paris and have her body taken care of with royal honors.
He killed her too
So you were there where u, that's why it's called a Dramatisation , NOT FACT 🙄
@@HansikaKumarasiriseriously what paint thinners have u been sniffing
Apparently Tony Blair had a bigger role to play in getting her the state funeral. Queen wasn't budging until Blair intervened.
According to Christopher Andersen, who wrote The King: The Life of Charles III, the then-Prince Charles was “ashen and trembling” when he received the 4.30am phone call revealing Diana's death. “He let out a cry of pain that was so spontaneous and came from the heart. So very sad. 😢
propaganda!!!!!
Maybe don’t cheat on her then geez. Crocodile tears.
@@MysteriMustacheToast she cheated on him.
only those involved can say if charles really cried like that but the man playing charles is so convinceing you could actually feel the pain.and you never hear them say she is dead and that is very tastefully done
That’s brilliant acting. A facial expression and body language can convey so much without any words being spoken.
After their divorce, Charles and Diana were friends, probably closer than they had been before their marriage. There were reports of them visiting and talking on the phone with each other. Diana even told friends she had accepted Camilla. Charles continued to wear his wedding ring for a long time after her death. We don't really know what happened or who said what but I believe Charles was heartbroken. He loved Diana, probably regret for their marriage, trying to figure out how to tell his sons, wondering how would this hit the country, how it would impact the monarchy and how it would impact his relationship with Camilla. Lots to process.
He never wore a wedding ring. I think it was a Gentleman's ring eg on the pinky. Unless he wears it on a necklace
He did!
Along with the signet ring, on the pinky.
Same with Camilla.
Charles didn't wear a ring while married to diana, doesn't wear one now. Neither does William. Only Harry does.
charles wears a wedding band on the same finger as his pinky, it's somewhat tucked away under it but it's there - it's a very classic thing for men to stack their wedding band with the pinky signet ring@@sarahrichardson1646
@@sarahrichardson1646 Charles wears his wedding ring on his pinky with his signet ring.
I’ve just watched it and I have to say I found it very tasteful. Seems they’re very eager to be respectful to both di and the royals, done very well imho. The shot of William
and young Harry weeping in the church really sent me over the edge, hit close to home. Pretty good overall
Yet so v disrespectful to W&H. Imagine seeing a remake of your mother’s death, only also knowing they got so much of it wrong. Hope they never see it, but guessing even just knowing its been turned into entertainment for the masses alone is difficult to bear.
I believe he cried for her, and for his sons. I am divorced. The divorce was made quite ugly by his behavior, insistence that I was "unfit" and finally, his refusal to pay back any of the large cash sums I had loaned him during our marriage, any alimony legally due me & his attempt to flee the state with our son without my knowledge. And yet, if he were to suddenly die in such a terrible way.. I know I would cry for him. Our son loves him and despite how poor of a husband he was to me, he has always adored our son and considered him his pride and joy. His death would devastate my child and no matter what has happened between us I do not want him to die. People may say and feel a lot of things during an acrimonious divorce but most of the time, the fact is that you slept next to this person, shared a bathroom with this person, made children with this person, have seen them when they are sick and comforted them when they were sad. There was a time when their happiness made you happy. Even when it all goes to pot, all of that physical closeness does result in the vestige of a connection you can never really break. And should they die suddenly, horribly - you finally realize that.
I think the crown made me realise that Charles wasn't a completely horrible person just as Diana wasn't a saint, they were human beings with their own flaws.
And she was a tiresome ninny, but that was a horrible way to die, even for an attention junkie like she was.

How wasn't Diana a saint?
Ese era el.objetivo.
@@1991Meka In public work, yes but in personal life? No. She was a very complicated person and also had affairs with married/engaged men
I have to say: the actors and actresses did their best. very well played.. Tears came to my eyes when William and Harry heard about their mother... Ad yes I believe that Charles was devastated after Diana died.
Charles cried and was heartbroken. No he wasn't in love with her, but she was the mother of his children so he's crying for his boys too. Not everyone knows that he and Diana were in good terms after the separation and visited her in Kensington for tea sometimes.
You guys are so delusional. Most ex spouses do not care for one another.
@@WilliamsPinch Read my comment again...did I say he cared for her? NO. I said that he cried and was heartbroken for his boys too, a real fact from real photos (I'm sure you can use Google, then again you're quick to respond incorrectly). Most ex-spouses don't care for one another, but they can be on good terms, and Charles and Diana were. I don't think they want each other to die either.
@@WilliamsPinch Regardless of how a person feels about their ex, it doesn't mean they want them to die in a terrible accident and their children no longer have a mother or father. No matter how things ended between them, it's doubtful Charles felt Diana deserved that ending. Only a heartless person would feel indifferent to such a tragedy.
@@WilliamsPinchWhat is wrong with you, troll? Most of them DO care for one another. Charles and Diana were still in good terms after divorce. Of course they didn’t want each other to die. That wouldn’t be very nice at all, now would it?
he treated her like crap
I don't remember crying so much for an episode, it was gut-wrenching and the acting was done beautifully
I’ve not cried since watching United 93 2 months ago now but this episode really affected me, I couldn’t imagine what the boys were going through after losing their beloved mother far to young, I would have been ruined
Even that I really never cared about Diana's death (I was a kid when it happened) the acting on this episode was so good that I broke down a couple of times. Amazing how they transmitted their sorrow to me. Amazing serie
I was 12 and I was traumatized
@@aprilgosa5779
I was born 5 years later and was traumatised by her funeral on CZcams, I can’t believe that Diana died
Was that first part necessary
@@nicolelawless9942how tf are you traumatized by a funeral that happened years before you were born for someone youve never met a day in your life and werent related to? And it wasnt even open casket or anything so what exactly traumatized you?? You all just use buzzer words with no real concept of their meaning.
@@Fusemoreeand who the fuck are you to correct someone? Huh? Einstein? People are different and people LOVED AND ADORED lady Diana cuz she was a kind lovable angel ofcourse people would've been traumatized by her death, and you DON'T NEED to see someone's casket to feel traumatized knowing that they are gone is enough, and most people were also traumatized bcz it was so sudden and unexpected and most of, lady diana didn't deserve that..
Some people are simply different just bcz you don't give a fuck about something doesn't mean others won't too
As someone with a former spouse I understood Charles’s grief. My husband was not good to me at all but I would cry if he passed because of the experiences we shared. We don’t even have children together but it would upset me imagine Charles that did have children with Diana.
If Charles did break down over hearing of Diana’s death, it was mainly because she was William and Harry’s mother over everything else. And if The Crown does Diana’s funeral scene, I wonder who will play Sir Elton John. Also, Tony Blair had just become Prime Minister when Diana died so it will be interesting how he’s portrayed.
It seems like they're over that stage of the show. The next part will move on to William and Harry in their older stage
@@DylanGarcia22true
That's speculation, but considering that they were on pretty good terms after the divorce, he would not only have cried because of his sons, but because a close friend of his died in a horrible accident.
Good. Who needs that big ham? A recycled song for his great friend? Laughable.
Nasty, heartless comment. @@equissage9701
When you are in a relationship and there are children involved, even if the parents don’t get on, you have to remember that your children have lost a parent and will have to have support from their family, no matter how much the parents didn’t get on or remarried and had other kids
I can easily imagine him going crazy over the news. It was huge, completely monumental news for him.
The worst denouement possible for an already unimaginably awful and complicated situation that had been going on for over a decade. None of them had had a single day of peace since the marriage started to show it’s cracks, and suddenly Diana is dead? An absolute unmitigated nightmare.
I went crazy over the death of Queen Elizabeth II and me telling Woody was the worst thing I’ve done. Woodys screams Is the one thing I’ll never forget
dominic west did a phenomenal job this season
He was horrible in The Affair and John Carter.
I remember reading in a book a few years ago that said, despite public perception, the Queen and Prince Philip were quite devastated at Diana's death. Charles and Diana actually got along better after the divorce. He popped in to see her a few weeks before she died and still sent her flowers on her birthday. I don't think I'll ever forget that week.
This is true. Charles and Diana became friends after the divorce, and they were getting along up until her death.
I believe if he did cry for her it was a cry for his boys. Losing their mother was unimaginable and so young and so suddenly made it even worse. He knew the toll it would take
Exactly; seeing those we love having to go through the pain of losing someone they love is harrowing for everyone, and especially painful when it’s your own children.
It was hard for me to watch because when she passed I was on the phone with a friend who is mother to two sons and we both cried so much. I wish Princess Diana was alive to cherish her beautiful grandkids. The actors who played her and Charles were amazing.
I very much appreciate that they "silence" the dialogue of hearing the news of her death. You can only see the impact by their reactions.
2:07 the way Charles just burst of crying not being ashamed around his mother
No matter what happened between them, she was still the mother of his children. And now he has to go tell his sons their mother is dead. That would destroy anyone.
I like how you never hear Robin Janvrin break the news to Elizabeth, Philip and Charles, you never hear what he says but you know regardless. Also, i really like how you hear a sort of deep presence in the air as the news starts to break.
Beautifully acted. Wow.
1:13 Robin’s look on his face means “Oh god, don’t tell me that”
We will never know what the true reaction was of the royal family and even of Charles on hearing Diana died. There is enough evidence though to point out that Charles and Diana had an amicable relationship post divorce and were treating each other like friends. They definitely had a much better understanding than when they were married. They obviously also tried to make it work for the sake of William and Harry.
There is a photo of him crying in the car at her funeral. You’re right in that we will never know their reactions, but I would imagine they were all devastated, especially for William and Harry, being so young and without a mother.
As much as people hate Charles and Camilla I bet it was the hardest thing in the world for a father to do and tell his sons that their mother was gone, and the fact he made sure he went to see Diana and bring her home even tho all the royal family were against it he still did right by her in a way even tho mistakes were both made on both their sides I think Charles has a lot of regrets now about what happened
I vividly remember what I was doing when the “breaking news,” of her “accident, and later her death. She seemed like such a genuinely kind person, it was like someone I knew died. Now I think on it, she was the first “celebrity” death that made an impact on me.
Interesting to see how different this was from the 2006 movie "The Queen" scene of the family's reaction to Diana's death.
I still get goosebumps every time
We've all had relationships that just didn't work out. The pain of loss is still very real.
The Crown was brilliant. Deserves to win many awards.
I can only imagine how shockingly devastating it was for William and Harry to learn that their mother suddenly died... and in a very gruesome way. But I'm surprised Charles cried after everything he did to her in their marriage.
he might not have loved her as a wife. But some of that resentment would be that she wasn't Camilla. But they had two kids together, who had lost their mother and who he loved, and shared experiences
By all accounts, Charles and Diana after their separation had been on good terms and were friendly, some people are simply much better apart than together. So it’s not a shock that Charles would be upset.
the way the story treated young charles and the older charles at least regarding his marriage to diana is very different. maybe it’s supposed to suggest character growth, or the passage of time, but to me, it;s like the writer suddenly tried to change boats and create a popularly favourable portrait of charles. it’s incredibly phoney.
@@monicad99 I think they've been favourable to Charles throughout. THey showed his good points and bad points in the marriage and likewise with Diana. But when he's not married to her you can't see the bad points.
for the last two seasons, charles has been portrayed differently. he was married to diana for several episodes at the beginning of the fifth one. he was considerably nicer, more reasonable, wasn’t trying to make her seem crazy or unhinged (because, let’s face it, the script did that pretty well by itself), he was a different person. there is a rift between seasons 4 and 5 in terms of how charles and even diana are portrayed. the fact that he cried like that plays well with the public, it’s a clear argument:”oh look, he is all heart and, just like the rest of us, grieving for our magnificent, lost princess!” sadness and tears are understandable, sobbing for an estranged wife with whom you always had a chilly, at times adverse relationship, so loudly that people hear you from across the hall is quite farfetched. @@MsJubjubbird
Is it just me that found Dodi`s death more sad because it was little acknowledged...
Yes
Dodi wasn't a very sympathetic person frankly. He had a reputation as a spoiled rude playboy around London that spent his father's money like water. Of course his family was devastated but the general public didn't care.
@@marykuettner752The genreal public did have sympathy for his father . He lost his only child
@@hannahdyson7129 dodi was not his only child. HE had more children from his second marriage
The reason why he cried is because they were starting to heal and be friends. It was the peace that they needed to have to raise their children to became next in line to the throne. How sad.
Interesting that the show runners didn’t portrayed the real situation. When they told Charles about Diana’s death, he literally said, they’re all are going to blame me.
I think it was Camilia who said “they’re going to hate us now”.
evidence? DId you listen in on their phone calls?@@sherrielee8871
so what evidence is there of this? Who did he ssay it to?
Quite Frankly, I think The Queen from 2006 portrayed it more accurately than The Crown does here
The crown put something much more diffrent in the center of this episode compared to the movie. But actually this episode's moment between them both show s the moment of change thanks to emphathy.
Oh, I think the opposite. The Crown seemed more real. He woke the boys at 7:30. And Charles definitely fought harder for her in death than life.
Never really cared for Diana but I cried during that crash scene it weirdly felt personal it felt like the world lost an angel
I cared about Diana when Mummy told me she had died in 2021, I was devastated. I was also devastated for the brave passengers of United 93 who died fighting back to bring the plane down and I was born 9 months after United 93’s tragedy occurred, I’m nearly 22 now and still affected by 9/11
She wasn't wearing her seat belt. Her bodyguard was, and he survived.
There was a time he loved her.
That's all I can say if Charles did cry or not. Only thing that is certain, even if we like to believe otherwise, is that he loved her at one point. And for all the trouble...he never wished her dead.
Since we dont know the royal family personally, we cant say for sure if Charles actually cried like this upon hearing news of her death. What I can say for sure though is that i cant imagine him saying something like “finally, that woman is dead, now i can marry Camilla!”, upon hearing the news. Charles may not have loved her, but i doubt he didnt care for her at all considering she was the mother of his sons and was his wife for quite some time (not to mention it was said that they had a good relationship before Diana's death). And even when he wasn't a good husband, i think he truly cared for his sons (despite what his youngest may have to say about it). Its for this reason that i dont think Charles was responsible for Diana's death.
The assassination plots are all crazy talk. Diana being popular is no serious reason for an assassination. Especially since the divorce was done it all would have slowly blown over as years went by.
People really believe that an assassination plot involving a driver, the police and multiple ambulance medics was carried out in a foreign country.
It was just an accident and they weren't wearing seatbelts. If they were they could still be alive (like Trevor Rees-Jones).
They did not marry for 8 years. Do your research on men who killed their wives. Do you think Bluebeard waited 8 years?
@@equissage9701 so I don't know who blue beard is and even if Charles and Diana weren't married for that long, they literally slept together at some point and had 2 kids. I doubt Charles didn't care for her at all. He may have been mad at her, but I don't think he would go so far as to kill her. Especially since if he was responsible for her death, it wouldn't look good for him and Camilla in a PR perspective. And if the royal family cares about anything, it's PR.
This scene is wrong in terms of how it actually happened. They weren't all gathered around the TV. Charles was on his own and was directly told over the phone of Diana's death where Palace staff then rushed into his room as the ''howl of anguish'' was so deep and loud. He was found collapsed into a chair and was sobbing uncontrollably.
Charles was in the phone.getting updatd.lf Diana's condition and and mostly Camilla. That howl and collapsing bit is false.
Everything I’ve always heard about Charles reaction to Diana’s death says he was devastated. There are videos all over CZcams showing him touching her, holding her hand, his arm around her, laughing together…even though he never forgot Camilla, there clearly was a period early on when he loved Diana, and there were lots of reports of them getting along quite well after the divorce. It’s been said Charles had a similar reaction when he first saw Diana’s body…just devastated.
this is TV not reality
@@aglistningvale131 There's a photo of it too, Charles and Diana's sister Kitty (I think it was Kitty) coming out of the hospital after identifying Diana's body, and it's so sad.
@@xxwhispersxx2856 Yes, I’ve watched that, two sisters were with him when he emerged, if I remember correctly. He broke down pretty quickly after he got in the car to take them all to the airport. Very sad.
Even though Charles never loved Diana like he did with Camilla, but I can feel his pain and agony when the mother of his children died tragically. After all she brought his sons in this world and raised them.
Not sure how exactly the Royals responded.. but the whole thing made me emotional all over again because as I did when I first heard the news on TV ..I felt for those boys losing their mother , and for the lose of a Mother who will never see her sons grown into men.
It was tragic for the boys and Diana , because it could have been avoided if people would just leave her alone.
This is the third depiction of these events that shows that Charles was devastated when he found out. First was a documentary, second was the 2006 film 'The Queen', and now this. Given the research this show did I guess they never found any evidence to contradict that narrative.
I remember that day when Princess Diana died back in 1997. I was watching Howard the Duck on TV with my parents and my brother and during the movie, a caption appeared on the screen which said there was about to news flash and that Princess Diana was dead. My father thought she'd been assassinated. Like September 11th, the death of Princess Diana was one of the world's greatest tragedies. May she rest in peace.
My husband and I are watching Season 6 now and we're both impressed by the writers' deft handling of Diana's death and the aftermath. They were treading a very fine line and in many cases could not have known what was actually said or done. The devices they used of dropping out the dialog and having the dead speak to the living was really very effective at letting the viewers fill in the gaps. This is an incredibly well-done series.
Charles and Diana were actually friendly after the divorce (Diana’s words). He used to pop in to see her at Kensington. His friends have said that he did cry. At the end of the day she was the mother of his children.
I think Charles cried more for his children than for Diana.
what business is it of anyones? He grieved for his childrne and Im sure he grieved for Diana, he had been fond of her, and had 2 children by her
@@glen7318 It's the business of any viewer who watched the show who cared to share their opinion.
Well that wouldn’t make him a very good man, then. But I’m sure a lot of people like to think that of him. That he never loved her, and didn’t love her when she died.
It boggles my mind, to this day, that people think The Queen or The Royal Family had a hand in this.
Say what you want but The Queen ADORED her grandchildren/great grand children to no end and would not ALLOW something like this to happen.
This was so long ago but I remember it like it was yesterday..😓...
A lot of them are either dumb Millennials or Gen Zers who love to come up with conspiracy theories on everyone/everything. The other dummies have simply chosen to believe Dodi's troublemaking father Mohamed, who simply wanted someone to blame for it all. I was almost 23 when she died and I distinctly remember that it was the hotel's drunk driver (combined with the paparazzi) that caused the crash.
But then, there are the men in grey suits......
She also loved Diana she was the one who picked her when she denied Camilla
@@lolaisabelcastro3310 men in gray suits? Diana died because her driver was drunk and she wasn't wearing her seatbelt. Were whatever men in gray suits that you are talking about responsible for Diana's staff?
@@seanbraley2772False. Camilla wanted to marry AOB and did before Charles even had a chance or involved his family. Also, QEll did not "choose" Diana.
Netflix , cast and crew did a commendable job in depicting the lives of Lady Di and Charles so well! Season 6 episodes leading into Diana's accident were speechless and tearjerky! Oscars please !
This was a brilliant scene. The silence, with quiet, solemn music and the clock ticking. The only word to be said is a grief stricken "oh!"... fantastic acting and brilliantly put together scene.
King Charles III and Princess Diana were actually they said on friendly terms, they used to meet in her office. She still had an apartment and office at Kensington Palace she rented. I believe he did have an emotional reaction to the news of her death but I believe he contained himself due to years of uptight royal training and rules.
La escena que me partió el corazón y senti mucha lastima por Charles😢
a day we shall never forget...we loved her so RIP
I remember that night so vividly. William is a year or so older than me. I couldn't imagine losing my mother at that age. I could still cry thinking about it.
I still think it's crazy they cast Dominic West as Charles...was this to ease Charles' ego? Surely, there are many talented actors who can pass as Charles. Anyway, this is a testiment to Dominc's acting not of Charle's character in life. We saw his nature, the way he had no problem turning the press on Diana during their divorce; they way the public were cruel and said she was destroying the monarchy because of the separation. Now, that she died everyone wants to act like the press wasn't running her name through the mud.
I agree. They did such a wonderful job casting actors who closely resembled their characters...and then Dominic, who looks NOTHING like Charles. They should have just aged Josh O'Connor, who looks VERY much like Charles!
She was no Saint
I found myself crying with mourners and the Royal Family while I was watching the news of Diana’s death spreading and at her funeral. My parents said they were sad on that day and my grandma too. Like after the ending I was feeling down and I felt sympathy for the family, especially to Charles. I realized that ppl at this time can now watch what happened.
I cried during nearly the whole episode, this rarely happens to me..
We know how much charles and diana had fights but they were together for so many years so he had a close bond with her we cannot say that he actually hated her to much.. although he has lost someone who was his wife and mother of his two children..!!
One of the worst: just about the entire world found out before her own sons did
Depends on how you look at it because the world already knew they didn’t have to make a official statement announcing it a announcement that would have required both the now king and her sons to make as it stood they where able to shield them from some of it
It was already breaking news. And they shielded them from the papers. It actually makes sense the way they did it, give them a peaceful sleep. The line Charles said to Camilla over the phone made a ton of sense. “While they’re asleep they still have a mother”. It’s dark, but I think it works better. At least they can have a peaceful sleep before they can’t sleep at all.
I thought they did right by Charles but wow, did they ever make the late Queen into an emotionless old bag. I thought that was pretty cruel. Just because she didn’t give in to the hysteria and selfishness of the public who never even met Diana, doesn’t mean she was cold. Her first instinct was to protect Diana’s children from the glare of the media and public at a time of great personal loss.
Everyone knew the queen disliked diane... its not exactly news and the conspiracies that the queen was behind it have been circulating since it happened... and tbh it wouldnt surprise me if she did
@@lukebowler7946Eh I find the public just don't want to blame the paparazzi because that makes them complicit by buying the magazines and tabloids that print the pictures.
@@Mokkari77That means all all they have to do is stop buying the magazines. I never started
There are plenty of time in the show where we can see how emotionless the Queen is she doesn’t give any opinion unless Philip forces her she utters a few words after that
At the end of the day, she was his children’s mother, obviously his lover at some point, and no matter how bitter things got for them she was his partner in life for many years. No matter how much he threw that away. Feeling are complex and life is messy.
I hate how he treated her but I don’t think that anyone can deny that they had some attachment to each other at some point. The biggest thing for me is how to you explain to your children that through your careless behavior and actions, it has in the long run led to the death of their mother
Chalres' actions did not lead to Diana's death. he was not the best huband but their marriage had ended years before and Diana was free to make her own life.
How painful it must be for the real royal family to watch this
Heartbreaking stuff..
If they didn’t have anything to do with the death can you imagine the guilt and anguish they were facing , they probably were praying harder than anyone for her , cause they knew if something happened to her they would get the blame. Especially after the letters from Diana were revealed and she mentioned being scared for her life . I’ve always debated whether the royal family had anything to do with her death because why would they risk their image it meant so much to them , but yet again why wouldn’t they. She was not like anyone in the royal family she broke the mold and refused to be silent , we will never know what truly happened that night.
I Remember That Day It Still Hurts Me To This Day 😭😭😭😭😭😭
Prince William has stated that Charles was UTTERLY DEVASTATED when he found out she'd been killed. I guess after the DEVORCE I guess they became very very good friends
unlikely.
Dolores Umbridge is the queen?
It is one of those events where you remember exactly where you where,in my case on an early morning coach pulling into Bristol station and saw it on the newsstands.
Look no matter what happened between Charles and Diana she was still the mother of his children
rip to the real queen of people's hearts worldwide princess diana.
Emotionally manipulative person. No wonder Harry fell for Meghan Markle.
@@haitolawrence5986LOL Markle lives rent free inside your head
This makes me really feel for Charles... I can't imagine how awful it must have been knowing he would have to tell his sons that their mother had died like that. But I'm glad they were able to find out from him. That's the sort of news you should hear from a parent before anyone else.
Stop making It completely about William and Harry. No matter how toxic their marriage was Diana was still his wife for several years and he probably felt extreme guilt for how he treated her during their marriage likely guilt he still feels to this day.
Prince 👑 of heart 🥺💐
This scene absolutely makes me cry because I have never imagine Charles cry for Diana
I know many people to this day blame Charles and the Royal Family, and I’m one of those people. They never liked her and wanted to swept her death under the rug. The disdain they’re facing now is deserved.
Thankfully you know nothing
you are very foolish. why do you blame Charles and t he RF for an accident that they ahd nothing to do with?
What I’m interested in is how the royal family found out, and who told them? It of course must have come from the hospital but the only thing I’ve seen is about the public conference a cardiologist gave a few hours after the news came out…. I’ve not seen of anything that explains any private tellings before we were all told.
In the series, there is a representative of the British Embassy in Paris in the hospital, and he is told by a doctor.
Imagine being the person that has to break it to The Queen. What a tragedy.
@@TheRedGoldfish Imagine have to wake all the senior adult royals up, get them out of bed, in the middle of the night , on their Summer Holiday in Scotland. Everyone is standing around in their PJ's, half awake, then you have to tell them a former senior family member has died in a car crash in Paris. All so they have enough time to start processing the loss so they can begin to prepare a statement for the media the next day. Truly Awful.
Even if she was no longer part of the royal household she would still have had a few staff members from them her bodyguards and her secretary on top of that high profile patients like that will usaly have a upper level member of the management at a hospital assigned to them someone who would have access to the contact info for (I’m sorry I don’t know what you’d call it anywhere outside the us) state level who then would bump it up the chain (that would be my guess Spence the media had time to brake the story before they where informed)
@evanslater4551
Private telling are PRIVATE!!!
Despite how things went down between them, I do think in some small way he loved Diana. I think he saw the marriage as just a formality, a cog in the wheel while Diana sincerely loved him. Regret is a powerful thing. It can humble even the most powerful people.
I do believe that he cried but this season is being too kind to the new king…. Once again, they portray him as the good man….it infuriates me
They aren't portraying him as a good man, they are just portraying him based on reality. Charles wasn't a good husband for Diana, but I doubt he was a terrible person in general. Besides, Diana wasn't a completely good person either. As this series showed, Diana broke up several marriages and relationships by having affairs with men despite knowing they had a relationship with someone else.
He is a good man
Just because he couldn't love his wife doesn't make him a bad man. He has loved only one woman in his life and that his Camilla. True love is very strong. You can't just switch it off. He had to marry someone else because of his family and by the time Camilla also had to marry someone else. I'm sure both of them tried to work it out in their respective marriages but they were hopeless. Love is something that people have no control over. Plus Diana had really mental issues due to her unhappy childhood. She was too young and emotional. Their age difference was a huge factor too. You just can't blame one person for a failed marriage.
@@marjanp4784 agreed, not to mention everyone seems to be forgetting that Diana contributed to the Wales' divorce as well. She cheated on Charles first and broke up several marriages by sleeping with married men. Not to mention, if the Crown's portrayal of Dodi and Diana's relationship is true, she even slept with a man who she knew had a fiancee 3 weeks before their wedding. To think Diana hated it when Camilla drove a wedge between her and Charles' marriage.
@@ellevillamor4454 Right. She literally broke another woman's heart just 3 weeks before her marriage. That was really a bad call from her. People just love Diana coz she was beautiful. Imagine if the roles were reversed between Diana and Camilla.
Absolutely wrong,,,, Charles did not cry about Diana's death. Prince Harry has discribes the moment so vividly. Charles did not even hug the boys for christ's sake😢
It seems like they changed the narrative now that Charles is the King.
what the fuck do you know? And Harry is certainly not a reliable source of information
nonsene. Harry's book is full of venom against his father and brother@@ColetteV
@@glen7318 he is like his mother: he describes the truth!
@@france9399 no, he is like his mother in that he makes things up
I wonder why they felt they needed to mute the lines where they say she died. It's a sad fact she did; it's very sad to see how much she loved the two boys. But it's part of the story.
i love the fact that they keep the parts were diana death is spoken muted for when the queen her husband and prince charles leanr and for harry and willaim learing it as well.
They loved her so much that they wouldnt publicly acknowledge her death until the public (millions of people) demanded it. If the royal family could have gotten away with it then they would have swept Diana off as disturbed and suicidal and no longer part of the family without a tear or a second thought.
OMG I had no idea that Charles took it so badly. God save the Queen!
It's a dramatisation with artistic licence.
@@FedericoDLP Wait, so it isn't a documentary shot in real time? I'm shocked.
@@persiandrum9871 You definitely sound like you think it is a reality show 😅. The Queen is dead by the way.
I took it badly when Queen Elizabeth passed away and so did Woody. Having to tell him was the worst thing I’ve done
@@FedericoDLP She's dead?? I didn't even know she was sick!
I actually expected an ost solemnly for the death and the news. As much as I loved the drama behind the current one, I expected more of a soft, gentle tune symbolising Diana’s softness while alive, and how that tune will come to haunt them until death
huh? what did they have to do with it. its no reason for them to feel "guilt". Thats not one of the emotions in play here
I remember watching the news report of the car crash. It was the night before my brother's birthday, so he and I were allowed to stay up late. The reporters were broadcasting from outside the tunnel, while Tom Cruise was being interviewed on CNN (I think?) about his and Nicole's problems with the paparazzi. My mother, an ER nurse, was pacing back and forth in the living room, and kept saying, "They're still trying to stabilize her?! For goodness sake, why don't they get her to a hospital?!"
After Diana died in 1997, I would have liked to have seen Charles and Camilla both give a public apology for the horrible way they behaved and treated Diana while she was still living. A public apology would have rehabilitated both of them more quickly rather than gradually.
But that would make them the villains and Charles would never make us think of him like that!
@@startracker5895 villain. Jesus. The guy had an affair, as millions of other people did and do in the world. Morally wrong, but not villainous
Why? They really did nothing wrong she went in to the marriage knowing she had been chosen for him that it wasn’t a love match and they didn’t flaunt their affair in her face or the public’s her major problems with the royals where basically the same that Markle
Went through at first haveing to confirm to rules and regulations she had not been born or raised with that majorly affected her life and the way she wanted to live
@@jollyfighter7319 you understand the hatred Charles got when Diana died right? People wanted to kill him. He was scared of getting assassinated.
@@startracker5895villains? lol.
I am sure he didn’t cry . In fact he would be happy to marry that old skunk without Diana legacy as a shadow
Wrong. All accounts indicate he did cry, specially at the hospital when he saw her body. And her death actually forced him to delay marrying his true love for several years or even making thir relationship public. He knew her death would be a massive shadow. He and diana were friends at that point.
@@loner1878 hard to believe! he is evil!!!
@@france9399 dont be so damn silly. why is he evil?
@@france9399 You want to believe that, lol.
01:25 the actor did a great job displaying the kind of anxious where you are literaly sick to your stomach
I don't think Charles ever hated her, resented her as part of the part he was forced to play, but never hated. I would imagine he'd cry at the news, not simply because it's the mother of his children but that is the end of the story- there can never be any reconciliation now, and that is truly heart-breaking.
Like Charles cried lol. He cried crocodile tears at her funeral.
and how do you know this?
REMEMBER! He ignored the butler who stood watch with Diana’s coffin alone all night. Don’t believe this.. it’s a show and not what happened at all..,
you mean the bulter who stole Diana's possessions?
