The actor who plays him in The Crown sounds like him. I can't wait.
Josh O'Connor from " The Durrells" and "God's own country"
He sounds like Jude Law too
Probably used this exact video as material research
also as whiny as him
charles is actor play englishman ///////////////////////////////////////
DAAAAAAMN! The actor that played Charles in season 3 of The Crown really studied his accent and way to speak! It sounds perfect!! Beyond impressed... (also he's hot af... forgot his name though xD)
FreshGirl 3000 his name is Josh O’Connor
He’s also in a movie on Netflix called God’s Own Country.
totes agree!
And I think actor's appearance really similar real prince!
Josh O'fuckingamazing Connor. Incredibly charming. You can't take your eyes off him. Such a versatile actor. ❤️❤️❤️❤️ if you saw his other works, my goodness me. It's a totally different person.
I just came here after watching the episode 6 of The Crown.
Same lol
me too! :D
Me too 😂
Yup! It’s 2am and just finished it. I had to check the actual one out.
Me too
Josh O'Connor nailed Prince Charles' mannerisms and way of speaking in The Crown. Almost identical
It’s amazing to me how the casting department for The Crown got people who not only sounded like the Royal Family, but also looked like them!
Costume and everything. Amazing.
Strongly agree
their voices are so similar... crazy casting
Ikr. Even the mannerisms. How he smiles and everything
It's not hard to voice act.
@@bub-games say this to a professional voice actor who voice acts for a living?
wait...the young princess Anne and the actress in the crown ....speaking of look alike ...unreal
Right! That's a good bit of casting, that is.
They even look similar OMG!
The children are spot-on. I'm not a fan of Oliva Coleman or the actor that plays Phillip. Still enjoy the show however
Erin Doherty. Fantastic I love it when she punched him
You gotta give it to the Crown. Almost identical to this, in every way
Other than Elizabeth's happy smile, yes got to agree.
Except they picked a good-looking actor to play Charles.
The crown season?
@@MsRen-hu4mh season 3 episode 6
@@harley7836 thank you so mucj
Who could have known he would hold that same title for another 53 years?! Extraordinary reign for Elizabeth II, Rest in Peace
Will William get such a ceremony?
@Leander Herman I'm looking forward to it!
@Leander Herman I believe your King and Charles are cousins?
He actually had it longer than 53 years. This was just his investiture, he was created Prince of Wales much earlier.
What’s more extraordinary is that Brits haven’t smartened up and toppled this corrupt regime 😂
I remember watching this. I was 17. It was so modern at the time and queen Elizabeth looked so young and I remember that I thought her outfit was so cool looking. We all thought Charles was cute even with the ears lol
Her hat is ridiculous though 😂😂
Othman BnOthman 17 in 1969 would mean that makes a person 66-67 depending on when they were born (month and day)
Othman BnOthman my dad just turned 64 and he was 16 in 1969

No, not interested in it.
Of course!
lol yes
Watched this episode of the crown a few days ago. I can't believe how spot on the casting of Anne and the Queen Mother was.
What episode?
Season 3 episode 6
Актриса, которая играет Анну, невероятно похожа!
It must be surreal having to be so formal with your mum at times, especially when she's the Queen.
In an event he said " Her Majesty....Mummy"
Very difficult. Anyone who'd want to be Royal is deluded.

@@HotVoodooWitch Yes, but she enjoys it and is the most famous women in the world. If you don't enjoy abdicate it like King Edward VIII, King George VI enjoyed it and called war on Germany. Charles seems like who would enjoy it as well, since he has already interfered with UK politics.
He has such a soothing voice. His accent is really nice too
I am staring at Prince Philip all the time. He was so handsome.
Lol. Same 😂😂
He was already 48 back then.
😭😭😭😭 sad he just passed away today
@@MiraJames as long as they keep him in there heart and mind he will always be here
@@MiraJames wdym?
So far in the crown the episodes I enjoyed the most where the ones were Charles was. I think the actor is doing a marvelous job. I believe he will win our hearts as Charles like Claire Foy did with her Queen Elizabeth.
this didn't age well lol
Claire Foy was amazing
Charles won our hearts with anger and fury 💚 btw Josh did an amazing job by portraying Charles
this is true, their impact in every episode is remarkable 🤍
Claire foy have the perpetual smirk on her face that looked arrogant and snobbish. If she was trying to project regal in her acting, she was not projecting it right. The Queen always look regal without being snobbish
And here we are, 54 years later. Then he was a young prince, now he's an elderly king. He's come all this way. And now, his life leads up to this moment. A toast, to Charles Philip Arthur George Windsor! 🍻🥂
Cheers. 🥂
The numbers of his name 6 6 6
@@motherlesschild746 so was the Caesar Nero, Emperor Domitian, Ronald Reagan, Adolf Hitler, Donald Trump , etc....
Your point?
I vividly remember this day. Prince Charles Investiture was on ALL 3 TV stations that existed in Wisconsin! We kept the TV on high volume, opened the windows so we could hear it, & then we proceeded with our original planned chore of painting the outside of our wooden house a grand color called "Dynasty Green". Wow, over 50 yrs. ago, but so clear a memory!
When people still have respect and manners to each other. Charles was a young prince charming, after his failed marriage his name became mud.
@@ladyarthuria HE WAS ONLY 21 YEARS OLD IN 1969.
@@ladyarthuria Charles has worked hard fir the RF and won a lot of respect over the past decade or so. There are two sides to the story and sections of the media unfairly portrayed him in a worse light than he deserved. He’s made up for a lot of his past mistakes, nobody is perfect.
Only 3 channels in 1969? We had 7. You must have spent a lot of time in the library. :)
I always thought that hat she wore looked so Medieval. It was unlike any other hat she ever wore.

Prince William’s mannerisms are 100% identical to Charles with the good looks enhanced with Diana’s facial features and golden hair.
Nah, the good looks came from Diana's side
Hair??

@@moucli ha ha yes well the spirit of Diana has come to reclaim

Queen elizabeth's hat here is probably one of the reasons why prince philip calls her cabbage 😆
I was wondering if I was the only one who thought that 😂😂 Whoever talked her into that hat needs to be fired 😂 jk
@@shena1256 that person made the queen looked like a walking vegetable HAHAAHAH
Princess Anne didn't seem to enjoy any thing about the ceremony, but smiled as they entered the getaway carriage. 🤣
Princess Margaret was stunning as ever
I saw Princess Anne; not Princess Margaret
@@peachpathfinder It is thanks. Stunning, yes. The Queen looks beautiful too.
Margaret they're both beautiful, got that from their mum's side of the family lol as per my observation
Came here to say this

This investiture will be featured in The Crown season 3!!
Lol yes indeed it will 😂😂 can't wait‼‼‼‼‼
I'm so looking forward to watch it! :D

I love the traditions and history of the Monarchy! thank you for this!
Princess Anne doesn't look too thrilled.
She is like, wish I was born first.
@@niweshlekhak9646 it wouldn't have mattered. Until recently, succession was determined by male primogeniture. Her brothers and their kids are all ahead of her.
@@HotVoodooWitch No, if she was born first she would’ve been queen after elizabeth lol it’s common sense
@@joeelliott2810 Anne's brothers and their children and grandchildren are ALL before her in the Line of Succession. Bear in mind that three of her brothers are younger than she is. It has nothing to do with common sense. Anne's great-great-grandaunt Victoria was older than her brother but it was he who succeeded their mother, not she.

Am I here the only one who didn't watch The Crown?
It’s so fantastic to see the footage of the RF from before I was born. The Queen has been on the throne my whole life as has Charles been Lrince of Wales. I hadn’t seen this investiture before and as a history buff, I am loving the channel. Hello from Australia 🇦🇺🐨🦘☕️🌸
bully for them what we got from them
@@kermithdyer9301 less importantly, what have we gotten from you?
Watching this after the coronation and I am honestly shocked that he went from his coronet to his crown. That’s amazing! May his reign be successful!
It’s a nice touch that his Uncle (Earl of Snowdon) organised the investiture.
His voice was so sweet🥺❤
It’s amazing how high and young his voice sounds here.
Little did he know that on this day, his future wife and mother of his two children would celebrate her 8th birthday.
Its Sept 8, 2022 the Queen has passed earlier today. Charles is now King.
Here 50 years congratulations Prince of Wales 👑
Who was the owner of the ruby of the crown jewel? Was that the Black Prince ?? 🤔👑

This is the Prince Charles that I learned of: 20 years old with dark hair, light-colored eyes, rosy complexion, and those jug-handle ears. Very cute to a 15-year-old girl like me back then! And now Charles will have pleasure of investing his son William as the new Prince of Wales.😁
Good looking tbh
I don't think William will get an investiture.
love his voice!

Seriously?
@@richardlawson4317 yes 💁
She cracks me up! Snarling at the ceremony! 3:22
@@sherrylienable I believe that was her usual facial expression not snarling though)
Watching this, I almost feel as though Olivia Coleman might be overperforming in her role as the queen, who rarely frowns and seems less troubled by her thoughts. Coleman's performance, from a glance, seems a tad laboured in comparison to actual footage of the queen...
Well, it is a drama
Im afraid Coleman will show too much emotional angst in the role which the Queen has never displayed apart from the Windsor Castle fire.
However as the op says... its just drama.
@@roryboytube I think it's required of an actor to express a bit more angst and emotion, even when there's none revealed by the actual person recorded in a footage widely shown. For example, the first ever televised Christmas speech of the Queen shows a relaxed woman, merry and jolly as you would expect from someone wishing happy holidays to their people. The smile in Claire Foy's Queen tells a different story because that's what you'd expect after you'd been told what's happening behind the camera. Of course, I'm kinda stating the obvious saying an actor is supposed to show emotion, but a little bit more (mind you, I'm not talking about over acting) is still functional to a good narration of the story. I guess we'll just have to wait and see, though. Olivia Colman is great and I hope she nailed the character.
Olivia plays the queen in solitude. She has to portray her inner feeling without words. You and I don't know how she behaved behind the public eye.
@@JAPANgangnext yes, we dont know. But neither does dear Olivia. This show is based off historical records and the rest is coloured in with how the writers assume it may have gone down. Royal correspondents have urged viewers not to take the show at face value, and to only view it as entertainment.
And now he's the King. I wonder if we will seen an investiture like this for William as the Prince of Wales, and Catherine, the Princess.
Fingers crossed
Wow, how time goes by so fast.
'And the Earldom of Chester' Someone's got to have them.
Went to Caernarfon castle a few years ago - have never walked up and down so many steps lol! It's an impressive castle, I think which was built by Edward I
A very grand event it was.
Now I know from where harry potter’s quidditch stadium design came from
Charles was so adorable omg
Hello my lovely friend. how are you doing⚘⚘I love your comment. Nice to meet you❤❤
I came here for Prince Charles. I think I'm gonna watch The Crown soon that y'all talking about.
I would highly recommend it.. I’m an American with absolutely no knowledge of the royal family or their history prior to watching it, but now I’m glad I did!
Where can we see it?
OMG!! His voice was so attractive ❤️
I remeber watching this on television back in 1969. He is now Charles iii of England
Season 3 of The Crown is the best season yet
Honestly, agreed. And I thought seasons 1 & 2 couldn't be topped.
With Diana in the upcoming 4th season, I'm excited to see it possibly being better than s3.
I have watched this even before The Crown was premiered
The headwear is ghastly. I remember ER's hat and CIII's coronet from my childhood. My feelings have not changed.
Watched this life broadcast in Hong Kong in 1969. Really amazing and impressive.
I'm just thinking and appreciate the hard word that was done with him to learn an entirly new language in a specific time only for Prince Charles to make a speech in it! Brilliant! Meanwhile, I'm struggling with French haha
This is a great, historical video of a true event. While the Crown is an impressive drama, it is fiction based on fact. They got it right on some things, but not others.
My great uncle, who was born in England in 1910 and died in 2020 at the age of 110, was there because he had good contact with the royal family, especially with Prince Philip, from whom he took his middle name. The contact came from the fact that he served in the royal family's bodyguard from the age of 20 to 73. My great uncle William Philip, called Phil by us, received an award from King 👑 George VI in 1947 and in 2017 he received a medal for his services to his home country in Kensington Palace. My family and I were there. I also often took part in Trouping the Colour. In 2019, a year before his death, he was knighted by the current King Charles III and was then allowed to call himself Sir for another year.
Look forward to this being done sometime next year for the new Prince of Wales
Wow😱 I thought I saw Prince Harry minute 2:35 but no, it is his grandfather Prince Phillip...so awesome that they look alike😍😘😍

im shocked at how identical the Crown filmed the ceremony to the real thing
Honestly Prince Charles here look like that typical nerd geek in your school
and? I suppose you are the sort of person who thinks its ok to look down on poeple.
Looks like the real thing ! Though i saw the photos only of the investiture, not live broadcast nor vedio ! Thanks for the vedio !
His voice is so beautiful
The Queen looks really pretty.
Only when I visited Caernarfon last year I realised there actually ever was this ceremony taking place. :-)
So sad H.R.H. prince William won’t go through the same ceremony
Watch the episode of The Crown. The episode when the prince of Wales, Charles, does his investiture at the castle in Wales. He was tutored by a Welsh nationalist to learn Welsh. He did the best he could in that short time.
He was a bright sensitive boy that was on the side of the Welsh.
Anthony Armstrong Jones is probably thinking, "What a crock of sh-t."
i came here after watching nextflix, and hoping to see his speech in welsh. haha
Man, this is so cool.
Interesting to see fashion senses back then. Today nobody would even think of wearing them. The uniforms though, they're awesome.
Very articulate!
Prince Philip was so handsome😮
Hermosas ceremonias, que no se pierden estas tradiciones.
What language was spoken during the ceremony was it Gaelic or latin
@@freeman7788 Welsh, my dear.
@@Macelpro632 welsh is Gaelic aka Phonecian....
Wow. The father thought that Charles and Edward were weak boys. They seemed to fail him, except Andrew, when it came to military duties. Not the Queen. She had faith in Charles, and was guilty as a mom, by not being there for him, having to travel so much around the world. Which when she had him, she didn't know that her father would die and she would become Queen so early in her marriage. They even broke up after having Ann. You have to give Charles some props for enduring all of this.
Beautiful ceremony.
Tbh Philip was an example of toxic parenting. Queen mother did a wonderful job on controlling Philip.Charles is nothing but a result of Philip's toxic parenting.
I'm 64 and I well Remember the Investiture at Carnarvon Castle and years later I bought a LP Record of the Broadcast with the sound Commentary on and watching this old film which is over 50 years old has bought back vivid Memories from a different age and some of the Speech by H.R.H The Prince of Wales has some Resemblance of the 1953 Coronation Service which I have also got on a three LP Box set issued by His Master's Voice and in all fairness to H.R.H Prince Charles I think he Really does care about the People of Wales
Im here after the Crown episode 🙂
Claire Foy was much much natural than Olivia Colemann I must say Olivia is over dramatic quite often
I agree with you. I loved Claire.
Her acting is very good imo, her face expressions are quite specific from her character
@@juniorsantana3489 She has made Elizabeth as a glum dreadful overaged queen. I know she is an oscar winning actress but this monotonous version of the dreadful queen she has become is very aching to the people like me Who have seen Claire's version of Elizabeth who can be happy,sad as well as angry at times N not so glum all the time.
@@abhijeetchatterjee7414 I was talking about Claire Foy by the way.
i think thats mostly the writing
Looking forward for the same ceremony on the new Prince of Wales, Prince William
The casting and production crew should to be appreciated!! It looks Just like I saw in the crown👍
He was taken by the Queen. To see the people, to greet, and be greeted. By the great race that he had sworn to protect.
A monarquia britânica é muito legal, com todas essas tradições.
Notice how Philip is the last one to hop back on the coach lol always respect the rank
