No wonder that look reminds me of Diana during the 80's. Classic.

This is so cuteeee

Great comment!! I'm probably your moms age and Princess Diana was the most beautiful lady ever!! When she died, it literally shook the world to its knees. May she be at peace!!🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊

. Ur first name means god in french But u must know it lol

This is so wholesome

The actress absolutely loves Diana too! I read about it in vogue she’s a huge Diana fan so it’s literally perfect !

And they almost never pick someone similar to real person

British casting directors are amazing at casting. So I’m not surprised.

She looks quite different as a brunette though.

Eleonore Bon totally !! The hair makes it honestly

Good points!

The death of her marriage and also possibly the death of who she used to be

I picked up on that as well!

The death of their relationship.

I also find it interesting how it makes her look more similar to the other royals, while it is her own style, just like the rest of the family, while at the beginning she stood out a lot more. I felt like it was a reference to the chat between Margaret and Elizabeth saying that she would either "bend" and get used to her new life, or break. She bended, after all.

really wow, she is truly amazing so kind

She also did a lot to combat the stigma surrounding AIDS, when she was seen holding a patient's hand without a glove. She seemed like such a compassionate person, and it's so sad that she died so young.

There are so many fun facts like that about her. She really did care about people.

I didn’t know that!!

I remember an interview of Princess Diana's main advisor said that the palace gave Princess Diana as list of charities she can support or be ambassador of. But Princess Diana instead chose bigger causes like AIDS, homelessness, land mines, etc All of which were frowned upon by the palace as they want charities that are perceived as "neutral".

I assume they are saving the humanitarian looks for next season and making the change ti be more like an arc for dramatic reasons.

She was in the middle of a big project of bringing awareness to and funding the removal of hundreds of thousand of land mines in places like Angola, Vietnam etc. She didn’t get to finish that mission unfortunately. It’s such a huge issue even to this day.

that is so true.

Lol her charity work was still minor thing for her, and she didn't sacrifice as much as many other people do to help others. But people still praise famous and wealthy way too much. 🤔 Watch Christopher Hitchens. Please. He had a level-headed view on Diana and royal a-holes. His commentary and the facts he pointed out changes my own perspective a lot

Her sons do alot to keep their mother's memory alive, I suppose the hope is that they have far more of their mother than their father, which seems to be the case

It’s not enough!

It’s funny, the only women I’ve ever heard speak negatively about her have been white now that you mention it. Every single one of my girl friends who are poc and their mums seem to love her.

I saw someone on TikTok suggesting that women of colour often related deeply to the feelings of being unwelcomed or criticised by not only the system of power they grew into, but also their in-laws and their husband's families, and used Princess Diana's story as a way of feeling less alone in their own personal struggles. I tried finding you the link, but it's long lost.

@@alavenderfawn4025 I think that is an important point and this is something people think about now. At the time her charity work wasn't in vogue and she certainly brought the spotlight to many important causes. I'm sure she meant well with a lot of these causes, but she was also naive. Ex: Her work with Mother Theresa. I think she wasn't content with just doing good to territories under the crown, she wanted to try and do something she perceived greater.

😂😂😂

I think there's lots of identifying elements: Loving being a mother, loving her children, enjoying giving comfort and love to others who did not have it, enjoying helping out families & communities, being a pioneer through care, being self-less, being soft & warm while surrounded by assholes ,loving fashion, etc And also the darker aspects: Coming from potentially abusive households, being married into a family that follows restrictive and harmful traditions, having to endure horrible men, being cheated on, being told how to be and how to act at all times from a young age, getting married too young, having children too young, etc.

Why am I into Charles in The Crown? Send help

Ahah i was looking for this comment 💖😝🤩

At this point, if you're any of the royals ( except Meghan and Harry ofc)

@@ramona6644 fr fr

I’m glad they through a tiny bit of that in to the show lol

hahaha ikrrrrr

ok but forreal

Omgg literally my mom

Literally my Pakistani parents 😂

Royal women wear black in public often. There are very few rules with clothing. You should look appropriate, and if there is a dress code (black tie, white tie, etc), then you stick to the dress code. Otherwise, wear what you want. No one cares.

The whole not knowing how to greet members of the royal family was similar to the Balmoral thing with thatcher. It most likely did not happen irl, but the idea is to show how inadequate Diana felt, and to be able to build throughout the season this narrative of Diana not being supported or accepted by the royals :)

@@zippogirl At the time it still wasn't usual, which is their point. I remember the press going insane when reporting the rare sighting of a black outfit worn by a prominent royal family member when I was younger, or even in recent years. Even now it's not that common, and black clothes are very rarely adorned.

@@zippogirl yeah, maybe. But I thought - and it's been published widely online, so it might be true (??) that there are rules for what royalty in the UK is supposed to wear, when. E.g. hats, length of dress and type, gloves etc. So Im just saying if that's now, surely it was the case then? 🤔 Not to say they don't break them sometimes, but it's an institution as well as the family/people.

@@daisugoi it's still considered rebellious in the BRF when women wear black. Meghan Markle did when pregnant with her first in a British fashion awards. Head to toe black including finger nails. Press acted as if she slapped the queen. 😂😂😂

they all cried, there is rarity in these kind people that touch the hearts of the people all around the world , she was one of a kind

I felt sorry for her children but honestly I didn't like her. I think she was a good mother.

Not everyone loved her. And the media made her portrayal overly sympathetic only after her death. The same media was hating on her a lot while she was alive

My mum said that when Diana died we were out shopping. It came over the radio and apparently you could have heard a pin drop because everyone went silent.

In the UK not everyone loved her. I think that was part of the problem because many, but not all, of those people funded the tabloids who went after her for negative stories. Also you’ve got to remember that a not insignificant part of the population is indifferent to the Royal Family, including her.

I have to agree. 80s fashion done by Princess Diana is on another level. Beautiful

That's British production for you , they're so good at that . I LOVED this season .

Right!! She just MAKES all of these 80s clothes that might be tacky or over the top on somebody else look so elegant and classy!

I thought so too, but I really got to like the 80's evening wear/ high fashion

Yeah, I'm actually not a huge fan of a lot of Diana's clothes, but she wears them very well.

Apparently in real life he said she was an "attractive 16 year old" eww 🤢

xcobmi throw the WHOLE MAN away!!!!

@@myettechase she was almost half his agee ugh it's horrible

I’m 30 and the thought of being engaged/married to someone Diana’s age is making me boak 😬

@@melissam597 even worse, your ex girlfriend's little sister...

It’s only Gen Z that really don’t know about her since she died before that generation existed but even a lot of Gen Zers are starting to research more about her and I love that 🥺❤️

In the 90s I was quite young in one of the apartments my mom and I lived in a friends mother and a friend were very big fans of her. I vividly remember the morning she passed away because the friend called down crying to my other friends mom.

I was born in 1990 and was 7 years old when she died so I didn't have much time or consciousness to know about her when she was alive

I was in primary school when she died. One of my teachers was a huge fan of her and talked about the Princess that day.

I was born in 97 and I know a lot about her because my sisters and mom talk about her a lot because they were crazy about her.

I had to repeat that part of the video several times. It made me feel warm inside. She was truly an angel. My mom named me after her.

My mum also has no time for the monarchy in general (as do I, I’m a staunch republican, and I think Australia should go monarchy-free as soon as possible). But I remember her being very sad when Princess Di died. I was sad too- for all that o could understand at the age of ten. Most of what I knew about Diana came from her fashion, and her humanitarianism, so it’s no wonder I was sad. That, and just how terrible and terrifying her death was- chased by the people who literally hounded her to death. Her death did bring on new laws regarding paparazzi though, throughout the world.

Same thing

Same here (2)

??? Stop making stuff up? Kate didn’t announce anything like that because she’s been rewearing clothes… Her entire life. Princess Anne literally wears clothes from the 70s because she’s kept them and is the same size. It’s not a taboo at all.

dont talk ABSOLUTE rubbish. The RF recycle their clothes a lot... because they are expensive, adn when they have been worn a certain amount of times they sell them

Exactly she’s such a baddie

Anne is so underrated

Yeeessss

Yeah but that was something very common back in those time im not saying it was correct... But my grandmother had 14 when she meet my grandfather and get married at 16

Yes, people often forget Diana was aristocracy which is why she was seen as suitable wife for the Crown Prince, she would have known the society etiquette and lifestyle stuff, moved in similar circles and probably assumed to expected that Charles could cheat since it was extremely common in those circles and at least not to want a divorce. But times were changing with that and she should have been able to be upset. However she really would have known the etiquette.

That is a bit that's, imho, not meant to be taken as a fact. In that scene, I think they are beginning to build the narrative of Diana feeling inadequate and the royals not being supportive of her/ helping her integrate into the family. She probably didn't mess that up irl, but it's a way to start developing a plot point that is very relevant to the story later! Similar to how thatcher was treated in the Balmoral episode, most likely things didn't happen that way, but they just needed to really show how different both of them were :)

Many things about the show are far fetched ( changed or straight up invented ), that's one of the big problems of the show ( in my mind ) as they aren't clear up front that this is in fact a drama, based on real events, and most definitely NOT a documentary.

But...it's the crown. Almost every scene is a fantasy for metaphor sometimes because they can't mention facts since royalty still exists.

I wasn’t able there at the time. 🙂Was it successful?

Wow. Thank you SO much for explaining this!!! I had no idea. I admire her so much but the strategic use of the media has to be the really a truly first of its kind change in media, and led to people like kim K. It feels sorta like they trail-blazed

@@hanna8349 she was smart in the way she used the media and many of the celebrities in the 2000’s took note and tried to use it in the same way Diana did, though some of them not being so successful. Kim K thought very different to Diana and came up during a very different era of fame. Took everything she knew from being around Paris Hilton and other celebs and used it all to her advantage and surpassed every person she hung out with before she became the Kim K. And not only did she learn to conquer traditional media but also social media and truly helped make it what it is today. Influencers wouldn’t be what they are today without Kim k. The same way traditional media wouldn’t be the way it is if not for Diana and Marylin Monroe

There were RECORDINGS of her affairs! How the hell did that happen? I wonder if those were also being used against her to make her behave?

@@livelovelife32 in a documentary about her life (available on Netflix) it was explained that allegedly the paparazzi frenzy surrounding Diana was so surreal that they started tapping her phones. This was long after the divorce, which meant she no longer has the protection afforded by the UK government to members of the Royal Family.

Camilla is a cancer too.

Astro signs aren't an excuse for behavior (this isn't directed to diana)

My mother was a Cancer and in my opinion she should have been canonized. I wish I could have been more like her.

This podcast is only A+++ in all it covers. Highly recommend

Thanks for the suggestion! I started it and thoroughly enjoy it!

I can’t find it, where do you listen to it ?

@@haribo4701 it’s called “you’re wrong about” so try looking that up 😊

@@haribo4701 spotify has it also

No, we aren't indoctrinated from a young age to love the royal family. I hardly knew of the royal family growing up, I was born in 93 too, and my first exposure wasn't until I was 14/15. I even went to a middle-class primary school. I like the royal family because I've done my research into them over the last few years and come to respect them but if you asked me what I thought about them when I was 14 I would have shrugged.

@@peachesandcream8753 tbf on the one hand probably a generalisation on my part but on the other I do think our class and whereabouts in the U.K. will have impacted that. I come from a working class background and lived in the north. I vividly remember tons of news stories all about the royals, my family always getting emotional about the queens speeches, our primary school handing out a gold jubilee coin (and this had a definite impact because years later I did work experience in that same primary school where a little boy there showed that same coin off to say that his dad gave it to him from when he was in primary school). So a lot of working class northern areas do have a sort of national pride that does differ from southern sensibilities and middle class values. But of course these are generalisations, I’m sure while my neighbourhood growing up was brimming with national pride and supporting the monarchy that someone of a similar class rank and area may not have cared or known much. But I’m basing this on my anecdotal experiences that I noticed in my area with my peers

@@MrTwentington I'm from the working class in the South East (I went to a middle class primary and working class secondary) and I don't remember any mention of the royals growing up. Maybe it's a northern thing and we in the South are pretty blasé about them since the South is heavily connected to the Royals? I mean, I literally live a stones throw away from Hampton Court palace. I knew of the historical royal family, since I love history, but I never heard anything about the modern royals. I don't think I ever watched a Queens Speech until I was 15.

I’m a 2000s kid, and I learned about the royals when I was 8- and I was a massive fan of Kate at the time because of how beautiful she was and I wanted to be a royal myself, I guess it’s where you live that creates your impression on them. I mean I live in Scotland and everyone doesn’t care THAT much but they love Diana and seem to love good ol’ Liz but my mother isn’t a big fan of the rest of the royals (not including Diana’s sons and the sons wives) because she hates how queen Liz and the rest of them didn’t want to do anything for Diana after she passed and the fact that they were forced to be upset that Diana died as they seemed to not care. I personally believe that it depends on the area and the people in the area that pressure you or not into admiring the royals.

What you in about mate? I'm British. I did not experience that at all.

I was thinking the same thing. Apparently the Royals enjoy the show. I also was wondering about how they would portray the Prince Andrew :/

thing

There is no evidence that Prince Andrew was part of Epstein's little paedophile group so why would they include it? To do so would provoke a lawsuit for defamation.

@@peachesandcream8753 there’s actually a lot of evidence that shows the things Prince Andrew got up to, I’m not sure what made you think there isn’t

@@whatevs236 No, there is speculation but no evidence.

The first one is pink so 👀👀

Well the oh is gold so

Isn't it silver?

@@birjisafroz8886 really it's just white but with extra sparkles

Bear in mind it’s fictional

A thank you! Scenes like that one may have happened and may haven’t happened at all and it feels wrong to me how many people take those things as facts and reality

it was not a sweetheart neckline, it was a rather unattactive strapless thing

I’m ‘89 and it was the same for me. I didn’t know know her but when news came of her death I was crying for hours bcs I saw how upset everyone was

I was born in 87 and I remember Princess Di a LOT

Fellow 1988'er here. I can't say I knew Diana that well either, but I did look up to her, if nothing else because she was a real, living, real life princess. In fact, she was the only one I knew. When she died, it was kind of a reality check for me. Princesses weren't immortal. Princesses, like other people, could DIE. It certainly didn't help that by age 9 I had had 3 kinda close relatives die and would lose another one by the time I was 12. Probably messed me up a bit, now that I think about it.

When those interviews came out meany people at the time said it was the first time they heard her speak. The royals almost never give interviews. To have those kinds of tapes of a royal family member is unprecedented. I don’t think it’s a fair critic when those tapes are all we have. Contrast it to how much we have on any other head of state, for example.

@@orilliavail1380 The tapes were willingly made by Diana as a representation of herself and her life. To say that they are inaccurate or insufficient robs Diana of her agency in their very creation.

Yes, the tapes were willingly made by Diana. No one is denying that she had agency or that they exist however the royal family took away a lot of that agency including her ability to do interviews or do any public speaking. Her first solo interview didn’t happen until after she left the royal family and only took place because a lot of people were willing to go behind the backs of upper management at the BBC (who were in with the royal family). As for the interview tapes you mention: they came out after she died. When the book those tapes were made for came out the book was banned, and she denied having anything to do with it. She was playing a PR game so she could get a divorce. She won. And I think that Charles is with out question a pig, an idiot, and a wealthy spoiled brat and I don’t think he should be king. But it is worth noting that we really don’t have a lot from her and that is by design. The royal family almost never give interviews now, and they give more interviews then they gave back then. That’s Di’s influences, she forced the family to change. But they did have a lot of control over her and they didn’t let her do a lot of public speaking or interviews And to say that a researcher is biased in favour of the royal family because she points out this lack, I just don’t think that’s true.

@@orilliavail1380 1. Compare primary sources on Diana to what we have of any other member of the Royal Family from that era. Diana has them all beat. 2. I gave a number of reasons I think the curator of the exhibition is biased toward the royal family, the main reason as such is 3. SHE WAS HIRED BY THE ROYAL FAMILY. Do you honestly think the Royal Family would hire a curator that wasn't biased toward them? Do you think the curator would ever talk about Diana or her past in a way that was unflattering toward the Royal Family?

When did you get to meet him ?

Exactly, it was sad on both sides. They were just wrong for each other, fundamentally incompatible

@@user-ed7et3pb4o yeah, that was put perfectly!

I only wish the crown showed more happy sides of their marriage like that one with william's favourite toy or diana laughing at charles' hat

@@daydreamingawweline7744 yeah! Because I know they're were many happy times too, I also wish they would've put that in

THIS! Since that new season has come out all I’ve seen is people just hating on prince Charles (they do have a point but they do forget that it still is a dramatization and not a documentary) when Diana was having affairs as well etc. In the end i always felt like they were just not right for each other

Pretty sure Diana herself said it in the tapes used in Diana in her own words

Actors are nearly always better looking than the real people lol.

Yeah,I’m not much of fashion historian but I love her stuff, It’s intriguing and nice to watch.

@@ilikethings3511 i want to pursue a career related to fashion so sometimes i just rely on her videos to provide me with information lol
