Beneath The Crown: The True Story of Young Diana
/ netflixuk
In the 1980s, Elizabeth clashes with Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher while Prince Charles enters a tumultuous marriage with Lady Diana Spencer. - Zábava
So, a man who feels lonely and rejected by his parents, marries a woman with similar (unknown) emotional issues to gain his mother's approval, then eventually treats her like his parents treated him.
In short ,screwups treat their wives like shit .
Yeah
Its a cycle.
Who knew a child Princess Diana actually does look like Jodie Foster (who looks like the fake Princess Diana).
@@michaeljingo5410 - Are you for real?
After all these years,the world still can't get enough of Diana..such is her charisma and charm
Queen of hearts
I cant imagine what that must feel like for Camilla. Even in death diana is still very present and she will always be known as the other woman. Poor charles no wonder the queen is holding on to that seat until death. Charles proved very early on he has poor judgment and emotional instability for the crown.
@@highlyfavored2434 I cant stand that man.
True
@@highlyfavored2434 She will always be known as the other woman b/c that is what she is. Plus she herself was married. People do not like cheaters, royal or otherwise.
The poor girl did not have a chance- she was young, she was hoping she was marrying someone who would truely love her. She couldn’t see the red flag signs
When we are young like that we aren't aware enough usually to spot these red flags or what even is a red flag or for when we are older for that matter. I got married to a covert narc at 35 years old and was completely unaware of red flags until I was 51.
I had someone say this about a 25 year old woman who I knew who was beaten to death by her boyfriend, that she should have known better. Narcissist and sociopaths can be very smooth operators and are extremely good at portraying someone who they aren't, that is a decent and caring human being until they think they have you and then the devaluation begins. This is why it's good to become aware of our issues as soon as possible so we can work on them and have a good sense of who we are and to trust our instincts and then we might have a chance of spotting these people and their red flags. Otherwise your toast because a lot of people are seriously physically and psychologically damaged by these people.
I dare to say that "a lot" of people might had said about the flags during even before their marriage, but when we're young, we're too proud to admit that maybe we should listen when other people say something for us. She didn't want to humble herself and think what other people said about the flags thoroughly I guess. That's why regret always comes later........
She had affairs also. She was no shrinking violet.
@@Boilingfrogg it’s interesting that people always bring up “she was no angel” and shit, when people speak about how wronged Diana was. If that helps you and yours justify whatever you want to justify, good for you.
@@Beeoog not just one affair but many.
I would love to be a fly on the wall of Buckingham Palace when Prince Charles and Camilla watch the new season of the Crown
they probably wont watch this one. too awkward for them
why would he care, he is finally married to the woman he loves.
Hahaha. They don't care about other said. The film is about how to make easy money. Nothing else.
@@susanabrown1736 if it was just about money, the show wouldn’t be so well done
@@briansmith9238 "well done"...? Netflix trash!
How I wish Princess Diana is still around. She would probably be doting on her 4 grandchildren.
No probably lol she definitely would be
6 grandchildren including Harry’s baby and Williams new baby on the way.
5* grandchildren. I don’t believe she would’ve allowed the crown to come between William and Harry.
I'm not saying anything shady happened, but imagine the optics if Diana had lived to marry Dodi Fayed... The future King having a stepfather... let alone a Muslim one.
@David Milar I think if Diana is still around Harry will not do a Megxit because she will be on his side. She was striped of her royal title after the divorce but that didn't affected her popularity with the people.
I think a lot of people don't realize that she was only a kid when one of the most powerful families in the world decided just to take over her whole life because she would look snazzy in interviews. And then Charles blamed HER for being immature with he was 13 years older than her and self-absorbed, never even tried to put Diana (his literal child bride) above his mistress... Who's immature Charles?
I totally agree. What’s more the royal family did not encourage Diana or consider any of her successes their own. Treating her as an outsider all the time
Her mother opposed the marriage with Charles. She was just the same with all the others men she was intimate with. Doddy was a womanizer and engaged to a model in L.A. but Diana did not care. She wanted certain type of "love" men couldn't give.
@@susanabrown1736 Well first she had to love herself which seems like that was in doubt. We often marry people like our parents which it seems she married someone like her father and healthy people regardless of gender can give healthy love but she picked one who was incapable of that because she hadn't dealt with her issues, which she probably wasn't aware of to begin with at such a young age. The whole thing was very dysfunctional but looked like a fairy tale to a lot of people and that is what everyone got caught up in, including Diana.
They wanted her bloodline, that’s why he was with Sarah (her sister). Except Sarah wasn’t a virgin, Diana was. They made sure of it and there’s theories they did weird rituals on her before they done it for the first time. Like her virginity was taking, but not exactly by Charles or a person at all but by an object. Same theory claims that this is always done to whoever is going to be pregnant with a future monarch, but something slightly different could’ve been done to Diana and that’s why there’s a bunch of William/antichrist theories. I do however believe the first part of that is likely... not saying the second part is **complete** bs but those specific theories are a dime a dozen.
Edit to add: I can’t remember her name, but there’s a video on here of her making this claim. She allegedly worked in buckingham palace and witnessed certain things or proof of certain things, servants told her about weird ritualistic things goin down there, something along those lines. So, if it could be proven that she really worked there then it could be a bit credible. I wanna say I saved the videos in my playlist titled “interesting” but I can’t remember exactly. It was a lady with short brown hair in, I wanna say a red (maybe orangish?) shirt. The video was older, like you can tell it was taken in vhs days.
Charles is so pathetic! He and Camilla are both vile.
What was not mentioned was how abusive her father was towards her mom. Also, Diana did not know that her mother didn’t abandon her children. She was forced to give them up.
Yes, I would’ve liked to see more of her childhood because it was very interesting. She gave several accounts of it in personal interviews and it sounded rather traumatizing.
Another thing that I was surprised by is how cold her grandmother was portrayed. All accounts I’ve read talked about how much she loved her grandmother. Her grandmother was actually one of the few people who advised her not to go through with the marriage.
Edit: OH, and another interesting fact I wanted to tell you guys is that she absolutely HATED her stepmother Raine. With a passion. And the feeling was apparently mutual by all accounts. It was only when Diana became famous did Raine parade herself in front of the cameras as her “surrogate mom”. Lol
@@DonnaChamberson Oh and here's another interesting fact since we are listing them. Diana's stepmother, Countess Raine Spencer was the daughter of Dame Barbara Cartland who was famous for writing all those romance novels that Diana use to read!
How ironic, considering
@@DonnaChamberson i think they'll show her interviews that she started giving after the divorce, next season.
@@DonnaChamberson I was likewise surprised by this part about her gradma, Lady Ruth Fermoy. If I’m not mistaken, Lady Fermoy had been one of the Queen Mother’s lady-in-waiting and she knew the Royal Family really well.
I already binge watched everything and boy... When they say being a royal is one of the most boring thing to experience in life, it might be true just by seeing how lonely Princess Diana is living in that huge castle. Thank you for making me realize how lucky I am to be born in a completely normal family despite not having all the fame and fortune they have.
Yeah, the differences in lifestyle between being a royal and commoner has narrowed significantly between (let’s say) medieval times and now. Royals don’t rule the lands anymore, and many entrepreneurs have gone on to build more worth than most royals, some even more than the British Monarchy itself. Today, it can be so lonely, boring, and suffocating to be a Royal, especially if one has their own dreams and aspirations. At the age of 16, Diana was blinded by infatuation and fantasy of meeting a Prince Charming, and unfortunately soon met the reality afterwards. Despite the tragedy in her story, she did so much good in the old before she left, and I believe she was successful in raising her kids to be giving and humble, especially Harry.
@@rieyuki true but isn't Princess Diana is not a commoner either? She is an aristocrat by blood, the Spencer family is very much close to the RF, isn't it?
@@rieyuki - At 16 years old, Diana had already established her sights on Prince Charles, not some prince charming! Though basically uneducated, Diana was very cunning! She "saved" herself for Prince Charles because she knew the rules that a future Queen of Great Britain must be virginal.
@@anisanurraudah8383yes but have you seen an Aristocrat go to Disneyland, eat McDonalds and hug AIDS patients in the 80's?
@@ce9782 nope. That's why Lady Di is so special
I used to dream of being a princess but Diana's tragedy made me see that happily ever after and fairy tales don't exist
It doesn’t take a royal to die to learn that lmao go look at life
@@Skinnylandia no it does not take a royal to realize such a fact, but that doesn’t mean some people don’t find reality through them. diana’s marriage with that rat is a prime example of the cruelty life can bring, and there is most likely no better example of the impossibility of living a fairy tale than the example of the royal family.
Princesses are rarely ever happy. Google princess latifa from Dubai. Every princess is forced into a life of extreme secrecy and scrutiny. One wrong move on their part could bring the entire country down so they’re all controlled by the countries establishment and modelled and designed and mistreated. They can’t bring their own ideas into practice or being real change because that’s against the countries intelligence. Even our politicians and presidents and prime ministers are controlled. Princesses all long for the freedom we have. It’s sadder for them because they don’t even get to choose their life, they’re just born in it. And anyone who tries to do things differently is either killed off or has to renounce their thrown (Megan and Harry). I feel like the only disney princess that remotely barely portrayed this was princess jasmine who wanted ‘freedom’ and it was only because she needed to run away to meet her love in the story, but even she got to be so happy in the end. Disney’s princess portrayals are so far from reality.
@@Skinnylandia diana went through more than death she faced seperation of parents at a young age eating disorders being forced into a marriage at a really young age to a man that she was incompatible with and way younger than and got no love or attention from the royals diana was healing and mending her life back together by time she died
like i just posted.... Thats not much of a hard life,,, my granddaughter found her father dead at age9,,,1974 i had to knock a house down and move it with my brother,me age10 and brother 11 while my dad started the new house,we all built,then we had 70 goats 120 hens 50 geese ect ect and a field to turn over by hand,when not in school we worked until dark,and got a battering for nearly anything,and never even got pocket money...kids of today dont know they are born..
I am watching it right now. I just can’t believe how horrible Prince Charles was to Princess Diana. But I really love the cast they play their characters so well, their facial expressions, the way they talk.
Good job it's not a documentary.
Pretty sure if it was a documentary it would be even harder to watch. He was horrid
It’s shocking...he was viscous. Camilla was so spiteful old bat couldn’t get over herself!
This why the royals hate it reminds of how it was. People forget people didnt like Prince Charles at all. Diane was telling all there business
the Royal family lived in 1900s while Diana is growing to the future world
Diana was miserable... The moment she married into the Windsor's it was like watching a sheep entering a slaughter house.
That's exactly what I said watching the episode!
Exactly!!!!!!!
She didn't stand a chance with that family
Diana said the same exact thing to Andrew Morton 🥺 that’s why she picked the big wedding dress to symbolize that
especially since the royal family had her murdered
The host is fantastic!! Love her style, mannerisms and language. Brava!
have you seen sonal mehrotra kapoor’s hosting? no?? go watch it, and fall in love ....
What's she from? Is she a BBC new presenter or from country file or somethjng? I know her face!
@@kdog4587
she is a news presenter from NDTV india ( Alliance with BBC)
@@kdog4587 Yeah she does country file, she was on strictly as well.
Hihi,nicetomeetyou
The actors owned this season. Like all of them really. But Charles and Diana this season really stole the show
you're joking, the whole show is rubbish
The moment when Diana hugged queen 7:58🥺🥺😢😢
"whatever 'in love' means" he says lazily
proposed after 13 days
you guys
He made that statement to pacify Camilla because he knew fine well that she would be watching the interview on the daily news. He couldn’t say to the world that he was in love with Diana because he had already professed his love to Camilla, he didn’t want his bit on the side to be offended thinking that he was in love with the both of them.
Evan to this very day he has no idea “ what love actually means “ do you think he would take the risk of loosing a beautiful wife who adored him, and two well brought up sons that the UK loved for a bit on the side who looked like Camilla ? He surely must have loved her to give what he already had to shack up with Camilla. His father even said that he wouldn’t kick Diana out of bed for Camilla if his life depended on it.
I think he was more or less telling his father to go for it if that’s what his heart desired. Charles and Camilla deserve each other, there’s a place reserved in hell for both of them to sit side by side. They are both nasty vindictive, self centred ogres and I’m British.
You should watch the real video of that interview, Diana’s reaction to what Charles said was heartbreaking.
can you imagine the media storm if that happened today?! funny how much social changes have happened since then. also, the fact she was 19 at the time, from modern standards that alone would raise a few eyebrows.
Max!! Adored you on Drag Race, I hope you are doing well
Charles, his whole family and their paid toadies still gaslight and try to control Diana's story but she was truly Queen of our hearts.
That poster of Prince Charles is hilarious! I can't imagine too many teenagers were swooning over a face like that!
Not the face, the title and what he represented unfortunately! And he was in a uniform? Young girls always love a young man in uniform😀
Yes I agree. Prince charles was never goodlooking or even attractive not back then or much worse now that he is old. William and Harry are far more better looking than their father that is thanks to their beautiful mom Princess Diana.
She was judging him by British standards. 😅
Princess Diana and a ton of other girls sure did! Gee, I don’t know but maybe being a prince had something to do with it? Naaah no way, Diana is not so shallow!
@@pearlg3468 Its a strange thing but a person's worth is not to be measured by how good looking he is....
There's something wrong with Charles and all his siblings. They all seem very entitled and angry but I guess that happens when you're raised to believe that the only thing that matters is a crown. As much as I hated Charles this season, I also sympathised with him. He basically had no choice about anything his entire life not his dreams, not his desires and not even his love, yet he couldn't give up the throne because it was all he had. I believe his anger towards Diana was really just anger towards the entire royal family; She was a punching bag for his deep seated mummy/daddy issues.
As diana ,queen mother and thatcher are dead and most events are blamed on them.....I would say most was spin ,to convince you that charles should be the next king and not passed over. When I think of charles i think of the diana letter (the ones that kept here alive for so long ,then printed in the times newspaper
In what way are they entitled and angry?
Who else finished watching and has had a latent loathing for Charles awakened? Can't believe I felt sorry for him last season. What a selfish *bleep*.
I still like him. He was selfish, but he also realised he couldn't be happy with Diana. They weren't well-suited. I don't think he's to blame. I think he should have been allowed to marry Camilla in the first place.
I like Charles. I think he's a kind, sensitive and thoughtful man. And he was right about the environment back in the 70s.
@@DanielaVilu I'm inclined to believe that but I dont think he really tried. Trying would mean stop emotionally cheating with Camilla, which he made zero effort to do. Putting that girl under constant stress obviously would bring out the worst in her and that fueled his resentment and disgust for her. Charles, while tragic, was also clearly an asshole. At least as it was depicted on the series.
I told my mom just now that people are mad at Charles tonight after watching this.
@@paoroliaz1207 Absolutely! What a horrible, cold family. So sad that such a person was trapped with such a terrible family.
I’ve always hated him.. he treated Diana horribly
"Whatever 'in love' means".... 💔💔💔 These words might've just broken her heart. 😭
Well in the end Charles and Camilla got what they wanted. They got their happy ending, whereas Diana was the one that had to pay the price. That's the most heartbreaking of all.
Edit: Her addressing the Queen as Mama and hugging her just did it for me.
truly unfair
Not able to see her kids grown and her grand babies at all
That s more of our fault than charles’s: the readers of those magazines, of those who watched her every step.
they’re not even technically married under the church of england, they have a civil partnership
yeah.. bad people always win...
It’s so sad seeing how they fed young Diana to the wolves. Can’t get enough of the Crown.

very silly. it is a nonsensical lying show
The actress: Emma; is extremely similar to Diana when she´s ready on her ´´character´´ make up! I´m very impressed with that; It looks like they relived her to make the own role!
But for the young Diana, they should have padded her out a bit, because let's face it, she was a 'healthy' weight.
@@meeeka she looks more beautiful than that Adultress.
@@meeeka this is quite an insensitive comment, seeing as a remark like this one from charles was something which fueled her awful eating disorder. i know she's dead but it seems a little cruel
This show is the perfect antidote for little girls who still want to grow up to be a princess.
Fuuúck😂😂😂
It seems a really suffocating environment to be in.
@@CaLypSO4456 of course it is...
Today November 15, 2020, Prince Harry is to the day the same age as Diana was when she died. No better day to drop the new season of the crown.
Grasping there Brian
@@rosies14 ok boomer
Diana had such inner and outer beauty, no one can display her unique exquisite beauty and shining.
I don't understand why Diana has always been called a commoner when she had aristocrat blood?
Exactly! she even had more royal blood then the Windsors
@@kadijaist that’s right. I remember hearing that William and Harry we’re royals that had more English blood in them because of the Spencer line than the Windsors who had more German blood.
@@kadijaist Utter rubbish. Diana was born the Honourable Diana Frances Spencer. That isn't even an aristocratic title, just the courtesy title of the daughter of the Viscount and Viscountess Althorp as her parents were known at the time. Although Diana descends from 3 mistresses of Charles 2nd (one of them was Welsh, another was a French Roman Catholic), he had no legitimate offspring and although Prince Charles did not descend from Charles II, he was a direct descendant of the first Hanoverian King of Great Britain George I (Hanover) who was a direct descendant of James I and VI of England and Scotland (Stuart) who was the son of Mary Queen of Scots who was a direct descendant of Henry VII (Tudor) who married the daughter of the Yorkist king Edward IV (Plantagenet) and they were both direct descendants of Edward III (Plantagenet) who was a direct descendant of William the Conqueror (Norman) and Alfred the Great (Saxon).
Prince Charles is the son of a Queen Regnant and the grandson, great grandson and great-great grandson of British kings. His 3x great grandparents were Queen Victoria (Hanover) and Prince Albert (Saxe-Coburg-Gotha) who were both royal at birth in an era when it would have been considered unthinkable for a royal to water down the royal direct bloodline by marrying an aristocrat or a commoner. You were only considered royal, if you had a royal title before marriage and if both your parents were royal.
Furthermore, Prince Charles's maternal grandmother, the Queen Mother was born in England to an English and Scottish family (Bowes-Lyon).
It's Prince Charles who had royal blood in his veins from birth, not Diana, and if it wasn't for the fact that the Prince of Wales married Diana, she would never have been a princess.
Diana was also part German on her father's side. Her great grandmother was Margaret Baring, a direct descendant of the German Baring family of bankers. Diana's mother was the daughter of Baron Fermoy (an Irish title) whose mother was American. Diana's maternal grandmother, Ruth Fermoy, née Gill was Scottish (more Scottish than the Queen Mother). Ruth was descended from a long line of commoners and she was also descended from an Indian Muslim.
Diana was a direct descendant of a person of colour!
Prince Charles also descends from the Spencer family through his maternal grandmother, the Queen Mother who can trace her direct ancestry to Henry Spencer, 1st Earl of Sunderland (1620 - 1643), (another ancestor of Diana's) via his daughter Lady Dorothy Savile, née Spencer (ancestors of the mother of the Queen Mother).
Diana was not more English or more royal. There were more commoners in Diana's ancestry than Prince Charles. Her maternal grandfather was even raised in the USA by his American mother.
Furthermore, Prince Philip's paternal grandfather was the son of a Danish King (Christian IX) and Prince Philip's paternal grandmother was a Russian Grand Duchess (a Romanov). If the British Royal Family took the surnames of their fathers like most families, their surname would be that of the Danish royals (Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg) and not Mountbatten or even Saxe-Coburg-Gotha.
@@gaynor1721 lol Diana is from the great Spencers. Charles is more german, they even changed the name to Windsors. Also, no matter what you say, she was an aristocrat, not a commoner. Her dad was 8th Earl Spencer - this is the aristocracy, period. Yes, she had other roots like everyone else in such large families, for example, she was also related to George Washington, not to mention Churchill, who also came from the Spencer clan. She had great roots.
@@natkam451 Bloody ignorant foreigner! The "great Spencers" !!! Nobody had even heard of the Spencers until Diana started dating Prince Charles, but you wouldn't have known this fact because you're a foreigner and you probably weren't even born when the Prince & Princess of Wales got married.
Diana was *born a commoner* in 1961, whether you like it or not. Her father was a Viscount when she was born and didn't become an Earl until 1975. There are 3 aristocratic titles higher in rank than Viscount and only one lower than Viscount.
The British Royal Family have *not been German* since George 2nd (1683 - 1760) who was the last British monarch born on German soil. Anyone born on British soil is British by birth and the Queen has plenty of English, Scottish, Irish and Welsh blood on her mother's side.
The British Royal Family officially *do not have a surname.* That's why they only sign their names in registers and visitor books with their first names only and only members of the Royal Family are permitted to do so under the law. Windsor is the name of the Royal House to which they belong. Saxe-Coburg-Gotha wasn't the surname of Prince Albert. It was merely the place in Germany where his family held titles. He was Prince Albert *of* Saxe-Coburg-Gotha. Prince Albert's paternal grandfather was Francis, Duke of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld, so clearly not an hereditary surname.
Prince Philip took the name Mountbatten which came from his mother, Princess Alice of Battenberg who was born in the UK. Battenberg was Anglicised to Mountbatten in 1917 because of anti-German hostilities amongst the British public during WW1, but Battenberg wasn't Princess Alice's surname. She was a direct descendant of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. She married Philip's father, Prince Andrew of Greece and Denmark who was the son of Prince William of Denmark who became King George 1st of Greece. His sister was Princess Alexandra of Denmark who married King Edward 7th of Great Britain (the great grandparents of the Queen) and their father was King Christian IX of Denmark whose wife, Louise of Hesse-Kassel was a direct descendant of Princess Mary of Great Britain (1723 - 1772), the second youngest daughter of George 2nd (Hanover), the *last British monarch to be born on German soil.* His paternal grandmother was Princess Sophia of the Palatinate, a 1st cousin, once removed of Queen Anne (Stuart). Sophia was born in The Hague in the Dutch Republic and became Electress of Hanover by marriage. Sophia's mother was Princess Elizabeth (Stuart) of Scotland, England and Ireland, the 2nd child/eldest daughter of King James I and VI of England and Scotland (Stuart) who was the son of Mary Queen of Scots. Princess Elizabeth was *born in Scotland* and became Electress of the Palatinate and briefly was Queen of Bohemia. Her mother was Anne of Denmark who married King James I and VI of England and Scotland who was born in Edinburgh, Scotland.
So the British Royal Family's line of succession can be traced back to the Stuarts and British soil.
So what if they are also of German descent because Princess Sophia married Ernest, Prince Elector of Hanover in 1658? He wasn't in the line of succession to the British throne - his Dutch born wife was.
How many generations of ancestors have to be born on British soil to be considered British?
Judging by the fact that you used the American word "period" instead of the British "full stop", I'm assuming you are American and an ignorant one at that. How many generations of your family have to have been born on American soil before you are considered a true American? I suppose you have to have Native American blood to be considered a *true* American.
And if you want to talk about Diana's famous relatives, that should include the infamous Lord Lucan (Richard John Bingham, 7th Earl of Lucan) who was her 2nd cousin, once removed. Diana's paternal grandmother was a descendant of the 4th Earl of Lucan and Diana's paternal grandfather was a descendant of the 1st Earl of Lucan, both were ancestors of Lord Lucan who disappeared in 1974 and was wanted in connection with the murder of his children's nanny. Lord Lucan's brother-in-law was Bill Shand-Kydd who was the half brother of Peter Shand-Kydd (Diana's stepfather).
Diana is also related to Camilla Parker-Bowles (Duchess of Cornwall) via Willhem van Keppel, 2nd Earl of Albermarle (1702 - 1754) whose parents were Dutch.
Diana descends, albeit illegitimately from Charles 2nd whose mother was Henrietta Maria of France, a Roman Catholic of Italian descent. She was also a descendant of the Habsburgs of Austria who were Holy Roman Emperors; a branch of that dynasty committed incest by marrying their nieces etc. Diana was distantly related to King Charles II of Spain (1661 - 1700), famous for the pronounced Habsburg jaw due to inbreeding. Diana was a direct descendant of his ancestors Ferdinand 1st, Holy Roman Emperor and his wife Anna of Bohemia & Hungary via Henrietta Maria of France.
My mother was more English than Princess Diana.
Prince Charles is related to Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington, nicknamed "the Iron Duke" on the Queen Mother's side and George Washington. Prince Charles is also descended from the Spencers via the Queen Mother (who was more British than Princess Diana).
In fact, Prince Charles and the Lady Diana Spencer were 7th cousins, once removed through the Queen Mother.
If the British Royal Family are considered German because Princess Sophia (who was in line of succession as a granddaughter of James I and VI of England and Scotland) married Ernest, Prince Elector of Hanover in Germany, then the current British Royal Family are Danish because Prince Philip descends in the direct male line from King Christian IX of Denmark who was his paternal great grandfather (via his father and his father's father) and the British Royal Family would share the same surname with the Danish royals - that's Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg.
Aww, never mind. Better luck next time.
her young and even older self reminds me of myself, she has a lot of borderline traits (BPD), such as the fear of abandonment, self destructive behaviours, impulsivity, inability to control her emotions etc. i’m not diagnosing her but she definitely held on to some of her childhood trauma and it shaped her into the woman she grew to become
I was surprised this season didn't show Diana's family.
It's about the royal family, so stories about their in-laws are out
didn't suit the " SPIN" As diana ,queen mother and thatcher are dead and most events are blamed on them.....I would say most was spin ,to convince you that charles should be the next king and not passed over. When I think of charles i think of the diana letter (the ones that kept here alive for so long ,then printed in the times newspaper
@@ArtworksbyNet So? They showed Thatcher's family, Churchill's wife, Phillip's family. Even Tony's mother showed up a few times.
Her childhood traumas were a huge part of her personality. I think it was odd they didn't show them a bit.
I think they'll show it in next seasons as flashbacks, that would be even better and will reinforce public opinion
As far as I know, everything must center on the Crown, so they only show her life that's related to the Crown itself. Or maybe they'll show it on the next season. But I don't know, could be wrong.
She wasn't marrying a prince. She was marrying a frog.
don't insult the frog community
@@shantolion1576 LOL
makes me wonder if The Princess and the frog story was inspired from them but with a happy ending twist.
A frog with a horse face that works out as a monster + its dream bride a Camel-lia that further makes a zoo indeed.
I remember how Season 3 made me feel compassion towards Prince Charles...by Season 4 I truly despised him. The way the family treated Diana was horrible, SHE DESERVED BETTER!
charles: *married a child with unresolved trauma*
charles when diana behaves like a child with unresolved trauma: *🤬🤬🤬🤬*
to be fair, he had unresolved trauma as well. more man child than child though lol
Hihi,nicetomeetyou
You would think he would've empathized with her more and had more of a connection but it seemed like he took someone with a childhood hurt as well and further crushed her to make himself feel better
When he told her to call his ex if she ever got bored, made me want to reach through the screen and smack the mess out of him. I really do wish that someone was there, to tell her not to get involved with that big ear clown. There were so many warning signs that their marriage was going to be a tragedy.
I don’t care if it’s 530AM it seems like the perfect time to start S4
Started watching at 3
Yeah Go for it
I’ve already watched the whole series
I started at 9pm and finished it all at 6:30am. Now, I need a sleep before I can start the day!
@@meeeka damn ya'll need some more hobbies lol.
😢😢😢 drowning in my own puddle of tears.... Totally heartbroken after watching the crown ❤️ Princess Diana
I’ve stayed up till 2am to watch season 4 as soon as possible, it’s great!
Prince Charles should never be allowed to king.
Its a series. Please dont take into account these things to judge his real character, its show business
Camilla hasn't yet taken the official title of Princess of Wales. I hope she doesn't take the title of Queen as well if Charles ever become king. That's the least we can do in honour of Diana's memory
We only know one side of the story.
This happened 30-40 years ago. He obviously behaved badly but before she died, him and Diana were getting along well. Since then he's kept his head down, and done his duty (mostly focusing on climate change and conservation). You can't keep judging him for something that happened decades ago...
@@lizbbb7326 yes we can if what he did damaged lives. His family murdered Diana, intentionally or not.
I’ve always loved reading about Diana as a child and I’ve always admired her. She was such a beautiful person with a pure soul and intentions. May she be resting in paradise.❤️
Can we just take a moment to appreciate Anita. I feel as if she's a storyteller. The way she tells the story is fascinating
Chosen for ties to the nobility, youth and innocence not for love, affection or respect, and we're surprised how it turned out? smdh
She was chosen to be a broodmare from the very beginning. Prince Charles was just following the steps of his ancestors. A wife for an heir and spare, and a mistress for everything else. That’s what royalty did everywhere.
@@LynnNicoleGat10T There’s a reason why the royal family calls itself the Firm instead of the family. It’s all business.
I always felt sorry for Diana. She was badly treated by the royals, including Charles, and she deserved far better than she got in life.
I think Emma Corrin is doing a wonderful portrayal of her. The vulnerable side of her especially. And of course, she is very beautiful, like Diana.
It is sad being a woman at that time--being resented by their husbands for having power on their own that clearly surpass their husbands.
I just feel so bad for Diana, Charles is a narcissist!
@@Boilingfrogg thats only for parental rights, which is because of the old-fashioned view of that women are natural mothers. Moreover, having children isn't/wasn't a sign of power, women are still discriminated for having children in work.
Also, Diana only had affairs after realising she wouldn't get love from Charles, who was already having one himself.
@@Boilingfrogg He was literally having an affair before they even married, if he wanted her to love him, why would he do that?
Also you can be a mother and work. If a father can work and still be a father, why can't a woman do the same?
@@Boilingfrogg Why? I mean unless she's breastfeeding or recovering from pregnancy, then she can work too. A baby requires at least one parent, so if the father isn't working, then it should be fine.
Also yes I agree there were faults on Diana's side, particularly about her not understanding why Charles was resentful of her (although it wasn't her fault). The problem is, is that she was like 19...20? When she married which is young and your brain isn't fully developed, while Charles was older, already in love with another woman and still married her.
The ending somehow almost looked like a horror movie for some reason with the music and everything
i am still crying for Princess Diana 😍😢😍 she was a remarcable woman, classic and elegant...
Charles should never have allowed himself to be pushed into a “suitable” marriage. Misery on both sides for years. Did they really say they only had 13 dates. Did I hear that right. Good god. Ridiculous.
Yeah Diana said that herself in the home video interviews with her speech coach. They met 13 times before they got married. Charles got pressured into proposing to her by his family for their own vain reasons. The Royal family wanted a purebred English virgin girl and when they caught her they trapped her. Both of them though were so immature and incompatible that they really didn’t even try to make it work. They stayed married for 15 years but they were only effectively together for 3. They didn’t try.
@@sistahlamb I don’t think they trapped her. From everything I have read and every programme I have ever seen over the years , Diana was always interested in Charles and became quite smitten with him. So I don’t think there was any trapping to be done. I do think he was weak in that he should have said I don’t love her, my head and heart are somewhere else, but he didn’t. Diana also was smitten and got caught up in the whole fairytale ending. I also don’t believe the Crown’s version of every private conversation between them as we know full well when there are only two people present how can strangers making a TV fictionalised drama nearly 40 years later get it truthful or correct: My point was purely that 13 dates was absolutely ludicrous to make a decision about a life partner but then that’s arranged marriages for you.
he is a weak man, through and through...i hope he never becomes King
@@sumbalgillani well he is next in succession so it’s a huge possibility but he is 72 now so not getting any younger. It’s either that or he passes the baton to William which I doubt he will do.
@@jujuoliver6959 whatever may be the reason, he could be nicer to Diana but he was not. Young girls can become infatuated with the prince and especially the prince who is asking them to marry him, so Charles is not as innocent as you are trying to make him sound or as devoid of responsibility as many royal loyalists try to portray. He was an adult, she was a child. Diana was much more strong as when she saw this sham marriage was not going anywhere, she decided to end it and make something out of herself. I hope Charles dies before becoming the King.
She did great portraying young Diana 👍 well done Emma
Better than Naomi Watts
she has been a very important figure even when she is gone for so long and for ever. Diana will be remembered forever, though her life was a paradox or mistry of sort, she is the greatest thing ever happened in Royal British History
Her sisters' reassurance, "Your face is on the tea towels. It's too late now!"
Her wearing shoes on furniture gives me great anxiety
So let's get this straight, Henry VIII wanted to marry his love but the church wouldn't let him, so he made the church of England and him as head of it so he could marry his beauty. Until he killed her. Hundreds of years later King Edward abandons th crown so he can marry who he wants, which puts Elizabeth's father as King,and Elizabeth unexpectedly in succession and groomed to be queen. Her dad dies and she is forced quite suddenly into a role into which she is told to be a mother and a queen and be unemotional, more or less dated ideas at that time since she didn't seem to agree. This causes her and phillip to be distant with their children. At the same time Margaret isn't allowed to marry who she loves because its unacceptable for a crown,even though king Henry made his own church for this purpose. Margarets love life is tumultuous. And then Charles falls into the same cycle because his queen has to to be exactly perfect for a very non perfect and dysfunctional royal family that contradicts traditions a lot. Diana really didn't know what she was getting into.
Although they are protestan, the church of englad doesn't allow the royals to get divorced to prevent another king from killing off his brides once he gets bored of them. And it's mainly symbolic since people with strong marriages look more trust worthy than someone who killed his wife to marry his mistress.....
Elizabeth was always in succession. Edward had no children
@@MrJohnnyPash yes, but people thought he'd have married and have children when becoming King
Generation patterns
Relax
Diana was warm.
I don't watch The Crown. But I will watch this season.
I am so addicted to this new season!!! Already on ep 4!!!
Diana was a force of nature. She was truly one of a kind, an almost ethereal creature. There's not one person in the royal family that fits that description. A woman who had a great destiny and will be remembered for centuries to come. Her kindness outshone above all.
@dutoiu hour the Queen should have stepped in and banned Camilla
What Diana was yearning for is essential in a marriage -love, commitment, appreciation.. she didn't get any. We must not blame her childhood or background for what happened later in life.. I find your narrative very partial. No wife can accept another woman in husbands life.. Diana was no exception..
Btw, just for anyone who watched The Crown, it's not a documentary, a lot of people on Twitter seem to be acting like it is.
it's very faithful
@@liynne How so? Were you there?
Alot of this was taken from Dianas own words. We werent there but she was.
@@WankersCramp69 watch the documentary "diana: in her own words" also charles confirmed much of it *like the fact that the affair never stopped and he never loved diana or tried to* after the divorce in his famous interview.
@@moonlitdesert is easy to know who said the true......Diana is dead and Charles married with Camila..
That was the coldest “I will” I have ever heard in someone’s wedding.
IM SO EXITED
This is the best & simplest explanation of her childhood I’ve ever seen.
I stop at episode 4..i feel sad for Diana.Shes young sweet innocent and naive.Charles still fling with camila married women how shame.They use her for many things😢hypocrite next level.I hope and wish charles never be king.
Diana was miserable... The moment she married into the Windsor's it was like watching a sheep entering a slaughter house.
@@kellymock6094 exctly..i still can't forgive Charles,camila and the queen. Margaret was right they should stop the wedding if it true according the series.
@@kellymock6094 I totally agreed . I couldn’t watch anymore Cos my heart breaks for diana !
It's kind of crazy seeing how closely the royal family's treatment of Diana seems to parallel what appeared to happen to Meghan. There is a line in season 4 that states "We keep making the same mistakes" it's so true
On the contrary, I think the Royal Family treated Meghan the opposite of Diana. Meghan was embraced, invited to Sandringham before marriage, given patronages right away and the wedding of her dreams. Her wardrobe in Year 1 cost more than any European Royal's including the Queen. The Queen embraced her much faster than she did Kate or Diana. It was Meghan and Harry who wanted to be more famous and believed they were being "held back" by Royal protocol. Now they're in Hollywood...still using their Sussex titles but not an ounce of service to the UK.
@@deeshan9844 Oh come on. If her wardrobe cost more than the other royals ... it's because they're already royals. Meaning, they already had "suitable" clothing. And her being invited to meet the family she's moving into ... that's your basis for being treated well?
@@sevensixish kate regularly wears zara though???
@@deeshan9844 I guess you have already fallen victim to these UK rubbish tabloids, nothing we can do about that. But really havent you learned anything at all? how about let's take a step back for a second and maybe reflect that the image you had of megan only came from these tabloids. Be smart, be reasonable.
Also, the wardrobe costs article was just another attempt to vilify Megan. It was known that the reason why it cost more because they included the the cost of her weeding dresses and accessories.
yrqueenalia she also regularly wears alexander mcqueen so...
Thanks to this series , our rose is back in people’s minds. We never forget you Princess Diana. Princess Diana is the most beautiful lady I have ever seen even to this day. Her beauty and her personality ❤️✨
Season 4 was such an amazing season! They told the story so well!
Lots of people love Princess Diana, but no one loves her more than an aunty of colour 😍 thanks netflix for this series with someone who is a poc!
@Cuthbert Ryan well said 😍
Especially the Asian moms!! They related to her so hard. The terror in-laws, the manipulation, being pushed around, having to put up with the husband's cheating because your own damn family forces you to stay with him so you wouldn't bring "shame" to them and your in-laws... it's so damn painfully relatable to them.
@@Arguing.With.Idiots. exactly! You're right.
Watching the crown episode where Charles gets insecure and angry about Diana being more popular than him, made me think abt our own King Willem-Alexander. Queen Maxima is also more popular and loved by the people than he is, but he never cared. He loves it actually. It takes a confident man to not be bothered by his wife stealing the show everywhere they go.
I love these recaps and how enthusiastic the host is
I think they actually humanized both characters and left me with a clear understanding of why it would have never worked. Prince Charles was so in love with someone else and if not for duty would have just married Camila as he did in the end. Diana was so young , unprepared and with little support. Was just a difficult road for both parties. I wish she was still here with us. Love this series
I really wanted to see the wedding
They don't do the wedding scene tho. Only the rehearsal and the gown
You can do so. Its on Video
she never knew that she would make such a history
Finished s04!!! Trying to be fair and all..because I don’t know if all the dialogues were based in some sort of realistic conversation but....how scary and sad was to see how manipulative Camilla were in this series..and her role in Charles and Diana insecurities and so fragile relationship. If that’s Camilla 0,01% real character she is really scary!
As diana ,queen mother and thatcher are dead and most events are blamed on them.....I would say most was spin ,to convince you that charles should be the next king and not passed over. When I think of charles i think of the diana letter (the ones that kept here alive for so long ,then printed in the times newspaper
She wasn’t named “The Rottweiler” for nothing. 😃
Miss jujuba this is a Tv show and not a documentary, therefore the dialogues are pure fictions for netflix creator and writer Peter Morgan
I don't have Netflix but I've watched the countless documentaries years ago, and I'm not sure if they showed this yet but I hope they show when Charles scolded Diana for fainting and how Diana threw herself down the stairs while pregnant just so she can get Charles attention but he left to go ride horses. Straight From Diana's mouth.
Lies. Diana did not throw herself downstairs. She fell and Charles was concerned and called a doctor for her and stayed with her.
Tbh, after watching season four of The Crown I loathe Camilla Duchess Of Cornwall because when she showed off how much she knew about “ Fred” Prince Charles was insulting and to brazenly cheat openly with Charles with no regard to Diana shameful, and Prince Charles was extremely abusive a man child who had temper tantrum shame Princess Diana deserved way better than those two awful ppl ☹️ !!!
You know this a Tv show and not a documentary right?
@@pato6726 yelp still not that fun of Camilla
The True Story of "Young" Diana :( She died pretty young. Thats so unforunate. I wish she never would have married Prince Charles. She would have had a long great life....
Emma definitly killed the role of Diana. She is so similar to her. I love her in s4. Im almost done!
When you put it that way . You never would have heard of her either.
@@blackmantis3130 and we dont know hwat might happen in an alternative time line. Diana might have never met Charles, walked out one day at the age of 19 to buy a newspaper and be run down by a bus. She might have married someone else, had a breakdown because she was prone to depression and bulimia, and some marital crisis or post natal depression provoked it.. and had a difficult life....
@@glen7318 are you agreeing with me or disagreeing ?
@@blackmantis3130 I'm disagreeing with the idea that without Charles, Diana would have had a great life. She might have been less unhappy in a more private life.. or she might not.
I love these, give Anita her own show!
Utterly heartbreaking story💔
Emma sure killed this role..I cant feel it. When does it drop??😪
Today!
Wish people will remember that the crown it’s not a documentary.

The Crown isn't a documentary but it does show real events.
There are documentaries and books that depict Diana's own account of the events that The Crown surely took notes from
A lot of this is fiction. I was very frustrated last season that suggested Prince Phillip did not have a good relationship. Which just wasn’t true. Neither Diana or Charles behaved well.
Thaats why when it came out i started watching a bunch of documentaries before i watch the crown lol
The stag entering royal grounds was so symbolic during Episode 2, while it was showing Diana simultaneously.
Dashing Prince? I look forward to being introduced to that character
When I was a child and when we were on vacation, me and my parents drove through that tunnel a day before Dianna's accident there....
I know it is a show but it does portray how Charles took an child and destroyed her life. Sad! They should have written Andrew's part out.
Speaking of Andrew, haven't heard from him since the Epstein debacle.
She was not a child and he didn't destroy her life
@@barbaraallen7164 does he normally get in touch wit you on a regular basis?
Diana struggled from so young until her very last breath, she didn’t get any joy or happiness from being with Charles but more heartache and sadness 😔 I just pray her soul is at peace and she’s in a better place.
PD went through a lot of suffering but she become very courageous at the end RIP! The Queen of Hearts 💔💘💖💚💛🤍💙💜💕💘💕💓💖
I love Diana!!! ❤🇧🇷
That family took a young, sweet, pure GIRL, and married her to Charles who was in love with Camilla, and he NEVER gave up Camilla all through his marriage to Diana. Sad and horrible treatment was dished out to Diana by ALL the members of that family. “ Whatever IN LOVE means!!!”by Charles.
rubbish
That last “i will” breaks my heart
I love these videos, but I also keep coming back for Anita's outfits, those green shoes are bomb.
Hope they make season 5👑
Basically it was the fault of the Queen and the rest of the Royal Family who virtually demanded that he not marry Camilla and choose Diana. In the series the only person in touch with reality was Margret who demanded that Charles should not marry Diana. Elizabeth is therefore responsible for all the events that followed
Charles could've stepped down to marry her. Many royals have done it in UK and even Japan.
@@priscillajimenez27 nobody except Edward VIII gave up his royal positon to marry.
THE MOST JUICIEST SEASON EVER OF THE CROWN!!!
I remember Diana she so beautiful and nice smile ...
I was born years after she passed away and I still know everything about her. People really love the princess, huh
no, som people loved her. Many did not
Spoiler alert
Whyyyyyy oh why do they only depict her marriage for only 10 seconds? All those hard work for her dress and only depict it for what, less than 10 seconds? And no scenes of the wedding or the ensuing wedding photo or the greeting the masses at the balcony?
I wish they would’ve depicted more honestly.
It was the creator's choice. You can watch the wedding on youtube. There is nothing more to add to the story
Probably would have been a budget nightmare to try to recreate scenes from the wedding
I’m not sure what you mean by depicting her marriage for only 10 seconds ? A lot of the episodes were focused on Diana’s marriage and it’s break down. If you’re referring to the wedding then it prolly didn’t add much to the story? Ppl have already seen the wedding videos what’s the point of recreating that entire set up if it isn’t going to help plot wise. I’m actually glad they didn’t show the wedding just for the sake of it.
That scene where she hugs the queen saying mommy, broke my heart.
why would she call te queen Mommy? What a load of rot
I love this host!!!
So sad. So, so sad. It seems like she at least found happiness after getting divorced and going down her own path. God Bless her.
I mean... they divorced in 1996 and she died in 1997... hardly had enough time to find happiness
not really. Her affair with Dr Khan did not work out and SHe was just having a bit of fun with Dodi who was not in love with her.
Okokok Gillian played well but in my opinion Emma deserves that Emmy
I didn't know Diana had problems from the beginning, bulimia, but I was also surprised by her candid conversation with the people.
sad story about a really loving family, if camilla was not there they live with happy, and the two children have their mom and dad. May be diana also alive.
Meghan...well done on ditching those horrible people and saving yourself.
Like centuries before, daughters were used to improve the family status. The Spencer wanted to marry into the royalty.
Diana like all children find the world a hard and lonely place. Diana was young but knew what she was getting into, but started to believe the press. Really....what really is love? Each person has their own needs. They both broke their vows.
