26 KEY Differences Between THE CROWN Season 4 & Real Life: th-cam.com/video/WNbv_LbBPXc/w-d-xo.html
Most of the actors are so close but I find Charles and Blair to look so drastically different than their counterparts it's distracting. They could have swapped roles and it wouldn't have mattered.
I think its terrible. Princess Diana is depicted with condescension and disdain. She´s unintelligent, complaining, conniving, contemptuous, immoral, the perpetual victim , frankly as plain stupid. Charles is portrayed as intelligent, innovative, creative, entitled, narcissistic and applauded for it, which is a reflection of current society´s appraisal of individuals with narcissistic traits. Thats my opinion. The CROWN is a tribute to Prince, now King Charles - and a denigration of Princess Diana, and we are being coerced into thinking, that she´s far to insignificant to murder. Killing her in a premeditated ochestrated assassination, is a conspiracy theory. Its my contention, based on the evidence, that Princess Diana, was assassinated, in a conjoint operation to save the Monarchy and to facilitate Bill Clinton's retractment from the armament agreement on the abolishment of landmines. Bill Clinton retracted his promise to Princess Diana and the world, on the 16th of september 1997, in Oslo, just 17 days after Princess Diana lie dead in a cold grave. The paparazzi didnt kill Diana. According to their own admission, none og them were in the Alma Tunnel, at the time of the impact at 00:23. They first arrived at 00:25. So who drove the powerful black motorbikes, from Place de La Concorde, down the Expressway and into the Alma Tunnel? Intelligence service agents. It was western intelligence that killed Princess Diana and that is why, the "paparazzi" responsible for crashing the Mercedes, have never been identified, indicted , prosecuted and convicted. It wasnt the real paparazzi, that drove the powereful motorbikes from Place de La Concorde - but the illegitimate, masquerading as the real paparazzi. I have a pretty good idea how this went down.
Do cabinet of curiosities please?
@@acb5245 I suppose the fact that the driver of the car was heavily drunk had nothing to do with it?
I think the 10-minute overview pretty well sums it up. Nothing to see here beyond the train wreck of Charles and Diana's ill-fated marriage.
I'm more than halfway through the season and apart from the stunning cinematography, l am very disappointed.
Camilla in this season looks more like the real one. The actress in the previous season was waay to pretty.
The czar portion was excellent. A very good season and great script.
Savage.
True
I dint think they could find anyone look like real Camilla except Camilla herself .
perhaps this is all nonense@@KK-wv4rn
They only made Diana look like a crazy and depressed person walking around, crying, being alone and needy, doing nothing at all. They showed nothing of her work and character that made all people love her. This season was weird in so many ways.
Well yes, but I think they wanted to portray Diana and Charles with their flaws. Diana was actually depressed, Charles wanted the power he couldn't have and he couldn't feel with a wife such Diana. But I hope next season shows how she travelled for humanitarian purposes and visited mother Theresa of Calcutta.. Diana was an angel in the core.
She began her real work after this point, in next season. Humanitarianism, and what-not.
This is a behind the scenes . we all saw her public work and dedication.. this portrays what happened in her private life when she wasn't working to promote the institution.. walking around, crying, being alone was how she was treated when she wasn't being used ....I would of though the was obvious though, lol
Diana most likely had BPD and she was know to have very volatile moods and she was very needy
Well yes and those were all aspects of her personality. People are complex. Diana, Charles, and every human being that’s ever lived.
A mixture of wonderful qualities & actions and flaws and ugly behaviour when under stress in certain situations.
Being British, I have never bought into the “Diana, Saint & Victim”, “Charles Wicked and the Victimizer” hysteria.
The truth was so much more complicated than that, and I believe that the Crown, albeit historical fiction, has portrayed this beautifully.
Charles was forbidden to marry Camilla who was always his soulmate & first love.
Diana had an idealised idea of being a Princess, was intellectually not very bright (I say this factually not with malice as she had so many other astounding qualities regardless) and so never grasped the necessity of the Role itself and the strict requirements that it would place on her personal freedom & self expression.
It was always bound to end in disaster for both of them, and they each brought forth the very worst qualities of the other.
It’s just utterly heartbreakingly sad that they were put into this position at all.
I think that the point of portraying Andrew as the favorite child is to help explain why some things may have been tolerated and overlooked.
Yup. 🤒
But everyone knows he is. Anne was Philip favorite.
because he was
I think it's more the media didn't villianise him as much despite poor behavour. How many people care or remember he was close friend's with a cartel boss? That's the media. If the media hammered it it would have been a bigger deal.
Not any longer.
regarding the casting, I’m not convinced by Dominic West as Charles, I think they should have chosen an actor looking more like him, especially after Josh O Connor who was perfect, looking more like him and adopting his postures and expressions more
Totally agree
It was very poor casting throughout except for John Major!
Terrible casting. Dominic's personna is too strong to play these roles. His own "self" bleeds through every character.
I agree, it didn't feel like Charles rather himself.
@@Poetess2323 totally agree! He is too manly as well.
I place MUCH blame on Martin Bashir for Princess Diana’s ultimate demise. Had he not convinced her she was being spied on by literally everyone she trusted, by using falsified documents and supposed “payments” for her private info; she would’ve never disposed of trusted assistants and bodyguards! She was MANIPULATED into a state of anxiety and paranoia. Shame on him!
It was her brother who introduced her to Martin bashir and he wouldn’t let Diana come back to the spencer estate to escape the paparazzi, shame on her brother.
@@ilovemickyandhelove1 well Earl Spencer was lied to as well.. and yes, on a separate issue he wasn’t as brotherly or kind as he should’ve been. But he didn’t intentionally lie to her.
@@justjulia8007 there is so little kindness and loyalty in both families.
Diana so alone all the time , although she had 2 sisters and a brother who should have been there in her time of need.
I’m not sure if it is an English family way but in my background abandoning your sibling in bad times is unthinkable.
He killed Michael Jackson too. He had little boys in his bedroom and they popped out and scared him and he had a heart attack and all that kind of stuff It really wasn't OD it was a heart attack by them little boys that their sheer hidden his bedroom.
Yes, yes, yes.
Hardly any Edward. As though he wasnt even the Queen's Son. No Sarah as if she didnt play into one of the royal family's biggest scandals. And Diana's final scenes were poorly told.
This was a solid season, and at least we haven't gotten to Diana's tragic death YET. Elizabeth played her brilliantly, and the rest of the cast did well too, though I thought that Lesley was a little underused.
Agreed, I hope her tragic death would happen in the next season
Leslie was terrific!! And, yes, underused. She's been a busy actress of late: The Crown, Magpie Murders and a version of Dangerous Liaisons on Starz. Oh! Mrs Harris Goes To Paris too...
I really hope they do the Diane death with respect
@@chris26479 They´ll respect the Monarchy allright.
@@acb5245 I was reading a review for the film Spencer I never knew she was so depressed loveless marriage and she wasn't allowed to escape because she had to play happy families so dodi litterly made her happy and feel loved this makes that "accident" even worse
The Crown never fails to shock me with how much the actors and actresses look like their real-life counterparts. The casting for Diana, Camilla, and Dodi are incredible! But the casting for Prince Charles was terrible. There’s no way the casting directors thought Dominic West looks anything like Charles
Agreed! However I do think that HM is an.. interesting looking person. Hard to cast! However, I do think that Dominic West did the character justice with his mannerisms, voice and overall attitude.
Right! Lmao
plus the fact that they cast Diana with a 6'3" actress, while Charles is played by a 6' actor, the difference is so obvious
@@josephsf2452 For sure understand this! For some reason it wasn’t quite as much of an issue for me though as many of their scenes were separate
I’d say it would be difficult to find someone as fugly as Charles.
The actress for Princess Diana blew me away.
I love how the crown organizes itself with prime ministers. Charles refers to Tony as young enough to be the queen's son while her first prime minister was old enough to be her grandfather and her last her granddaughter.
Gives a rhythm to the proceedings, along with other waypoints and milestones throughout the seasons. Familiar benchmarks offset the changing cast and help to get re-oriented in the narrative. Love it also
Wow. Uncanny how the actor who played him actually resembles Dodi Al-Fayed.
Yes! I always thought that Lady Diana relationship with Dodi Al- Fayed was long, but now we learned that her affair with Dr. Khan ended only two weeks before her dead.
@@elisabethschwartz160 hows' that then, since she was dating Dodi for about 5 weeks before she died.
@@glen7318
I have no idea. But, is what the date suggests!
what? Diana was with Dodi during late July and August, that's all@@elisabethschwartz160
I'm amazed that an award winning show was able to be so thoroughly dismantled in one season. Were the writers on strike? The story line was so disjointed and had very little to do with the Crown. It just rehashed the Charles/Diana story that we already watched play out in real life. More of how these events and times affected others in the family would have been more interesting.
Meh I don’t think I’d be interested in how it affects the other family members, but I do agree the show feels disjointed to other seasons. For example, I felt they totally changed Charles from the petty, cruel and spiteful husband we saw in past seasons to some ingenious, conniving, sympathetic character, even though these were the years he was arguably the worst to Diana and the family. Especially scenes like after the whole disgusting tampon tapes is played like “oh all lovers say sweet and embarrassing things in private. And he came out stronger from it.” Like what?! Terrible writing imo where they weirdly retconned all the characters despite perfectly setting them up the past 4 seasons
This season’s writers turned on the princess.
Agree, it was boring, the writing was like a soap opera and the imagined private conversations were very cringy.
IKR this season was boring.
@@V_4_Versace if you're born in the 2000s like me, you will be interested in it... Because I never Google them
Poor Sarah really catches it in this season. The only thing we hear about her is the toe incident. I didn't buy that explanation for the King not inviting the Czar and his family to escape to England. The Queen told Philip's special friend that Queen Mary couldn't have Germans in England, but the Windsors are mostly German too, with the exception of William and Harry. I think they just didn't want a rival court to be set-up but they could have sent the Czar and his family to America.
The Czar's family could have been relocated to Malta, Cypress, so many other British colonies until things were stable. Queen Mary was a spiteful woman who didn't care for the Czarina. After the Russian revolution she went on an auction hunting rampage and gobbled up many Russian jewels at discount rates from destitute and desperate members of the Russian aristocracy and former imperial family.
@@seu6238 Actually the British parliament refused to take them in because the British public thought of them as ruthless tyrants. (1905 Russian revolution).
@@billcipherproductions1789 Your comment sounds the most probable. I can't believe the British throne would have had the power to make such a decision. It would have to have been authorized by Parliament. It is a constitutional monarchy after all.
Two monarchies(Germany and Russia) had fallen that had ties to England. The fear would be England's would also fall. They couldn't afford to protect the ousted monarchs if they had wanted to. The risk was too great
To me, the fact that the Czar and his family were not protected by his close cousins King George and Kaiser Wilhelm of Germany is one of the most evil things done in history. The 3 rulers grew up together and were good friends. Why King George gave the decision to the Queen Mary is beyond me. The entire family was murdered because of that awful and mean decision. Neither Wilhelm or King George would rescue them. The Czar asked both of them to take them and neither would. The British didn’t want them to come but if King George had requested it because they were cousins, they would have allowed it. It was the King who didn’t want bad publicity towards himself. The Windsors were all German, including Queen Victoria. Their name was changed to Windsor only after WW1. They were all family… Czar Nicholas, King George, and Wilhelm.Wilhelm was the son of Queen Victoria’s daughter, Vicky. Also if Prince Charles was portrayed as he was in this season, I dislike him even more than I did. He was all for himself and even threw his mother the Queen under the bus. Personally, I can see the Prince,now King Charles, as a candidate for the coming Antichrist! He’s for a global one world; he is sketchy about his religious beliefs, and a huge member of the Climate Change Committee.
Elizabeth Debikii was stellar in the part she played. Tho, IMO she over did the eye level that Diana was known for. It became over baring for me to look at. Beautiful actress. Regal.
I said the same thing to my husband. Her voice impression was uncanny and she mostly got the physical part right, but my impression of Diana's raised-eye pose was when she was ducking flashbulbs and maybe even a bit of shyness in interviews. I doubt she did that in normal conversation, so it seemed distracting in informal times with friends or anywhere she felt confident and in control. I felt the same way about Gillian Anderson's portrayal of Thatcher. Yes, Thatcher spoke that slow, (fake) deep voice during speeches. Anyone who knows anything about her knows she actually worked to lower her voice to be taken more seriously, which was understandable for a woman at the time she entered politics. But I doubt she used that formal, maddeningly slow, over-enunciated "speech voice" at home with her husband. It set my teeth on edge so much that I began to fast-forward through all her scenes, which is too bad, because I can never get enough of the amazing Olivia Colman.
Yes she over did the eye glare . But I’m sorry to say I couldn’t get over the fact that this actress look like a tall bean stock .Towering over everybody and anybody. Her enormous height took everything away from her character. This actress must be over 6’2 .
Her voice was spot on but I thought she was too tall and thin for Diana.
Dismantled? The Britannia wasn't dismantled. It was turned into a tourist attraction. They even kept a lot of the furnishings. There are some great video tours of it on TH-cam. You can have a daily tea on the Britannia. And for special occasions you can rent it.
Sounds like a sop thrown to the paying public but as usual not followed through on.
Absolutely. You can still visit Britannia today.
@@2Sugarbears it’s here in Scotland near Edinburgh , and you can tour it .
Yeah I caught that too...I think it's just a simple mistake...but people will believe it
I think they ment decommissioned
Glad you're well man! Welcome back!
Amazing how the actor portraying Mohammed Al Fayed looks exactly like him!
I was so stunned at fictional Tony Blair's takeaway from his meeting with Charles was that he was an impressive man. In my opinion, Charles ' clandestine meetings with both Tony Blair and John Major were very self serving. I didn't see a future monarch with a desire to help his county, I saw a man with a bruised ego who had been overshadowed by two very powerful women trying to make himself relevant.
Diana was picked to marry Charles because she fit the whole virgin requirement and everyone thought she was either too stupid to realise she was being used or would just turn a blind eye and keep her mouth shut. No one forsaw her becoming a world wide sensation becoming more popular than the family into which she married. Charles resented his wife's popularity and the fact that he had to marry anyone besides his mistress. He was deliberately cruel to her because of her popularity and basically, for her existence. Diana wasn't perfect but Charles did purposely victimise her. Her best response would have been indifference because he appeared to somewhat thrive on her pleas for him to love her and thrived on being able to reject her.
Regardless of the fictional portrayal of "The Crown" , people know the truth about how Diana was treated.
I see your points, what bothered me is how PETER MORGAN completely erases Diana's Charity Work from existence. I am no Monarchist Yet have lived in Belfast for thirty years. Diana was not only at Hospital bedsides to attract a Man's attention, she went to AIDS wards and held patients hands when prejudice was still high against those suffering with AIDS. She also went to landmine locations to highlight the ravages of War outside the UK and U.S. and how we need to do more to remove all munitions from the land. She did not mope about Kensington Palace when she did not have her Sons. I had no idea PETER MORGAN thought so little of her this way, so disappointing.
VERY well said 👏🏼😒💯
Agreed
Diana did so much for charities & the world, perhaps that could be a separate series.
She was a rebel - their first who ever challenged Queen Elizabeth’s status quo.
I liked when Margaret told the Queen off I think deep down inside Margaret liked Diana but had to keep it to herself.
No one knows what Margaret said to the queen, this series is fiction ffs no one knows who said what
@@firebyrd437 don't mind the dimwit. Probably still believes in Santa Claus and the tooth fairy
@@firebyrd437 Relax
no, she didnt. She lived next door to Diana at KP, and the 2 of them were not speaking. when Di had a present for Margo's daughters baby, she had to igive it to one of the staff, because relations were frosty.
This season Charles didn’t look like Charles but his acting and accent was fab !!
If diana had a twin this wud be her.
I really loved this season, I had tears in my eyes so many times… The actor playing Andrew Morton looks exactly like him!! They also found Dodi’s and Camilla’s twin… I liked Elizabeth as Diana too… And surprisingly, I liked I. Staunton as the Queen…
Me too! I LIKED it -- and I am tired of hearing how bad or boring it wsa. People seem to be unfairly -- and far too -- critical. It doesn't differ from past seasons because the show's quality or style changed, but because the events were as such. It covered the things that consumed the Royal Family and the news media during those years. They fleshed out some backstories on the Romanovs of Russia and their relation to the British monarchy and horrible slaughter of the entire family. They covered the burning of the queen's beloved castle and other political shifts such as with regard to public sentiment and the transition from Major to Blair, conservative to liberal. I think they did a great job bookending the season with the young QE2 christening Britannia to her ultimately shown "putting her down" or out to pasture.
I also think the likenesses and acting were great. So what, he didn't look as much like Charles as the last one. He embodied him and sounded like him and was close enough to be believable. And I thought Diana's portrayal was probably more accurate than what we've been served up in the past from what we've seen due to her poplar public persona and untimely demise. Yes she was a humanitarian and warm and a loved mother and sister and suffered emotionally, but she also had inner turmoil and could behave childishly and selfishly too by many accounts. She is not to be "deified" just because she died so young and so tragically, although I was devastated too and I remember where I was and how I found out. She will die early in next season and the shift will be toward their boys and politics and other world events. All in all I am quite pleased with it. Yes yes, it was different and didn't have the historical awe of the past seasons, but that is to be expected and doesn't mean it wasn't well executed and commendable -- just changing with the times and subject matter.
The crazy thing is that the actress who plays Camilla looks nothing like her? Props to the hair and make up department
4:48 Al-Fayed Sr was perfectly cast
While i absorbed the show, i did think the writers were grasping at straws at times and drawing this season out for some reason.
Good Lord, the casting is spot on.
Not compared to seasons 1 through 4. It pales utterly.
Dolores Umbridge, that's all I can think.
Love your rap up of the season. And thanks for your sense of humor. It really helps in many of those scenes.👏👏
I do not think the ship was dismantled but decommissioned because it was expensive to run. I understand they used it in Downton Abbey A new Era because the ship looked like it could be from the 1920's. I imagine the new owners make plenty of money off of it, enough to offset costs of upkeep, repairs and running it since it is a commercial ship now.
Okay it is a tourist attraction/museum in Edinburgh now. It no longer takes voyages but has plenty of visitors. I guess they faked it being a voyage when filming Downton Abbey, a New Era. Supposedly the Crawley's took a ship to France to cross the English Channel.
Thanks for covering, love your content! Have you watched The Peripheral? I don’t like it that much but if you did analysis, I just might 😂
2:10 Charles only wants reforms and claim to be interested in modernizing royalty because he wants to marry Camilla, in the core he's completely traditional
Amen !!! That s what I saw all along.
Even his so called generosity towards finalizing the divorce was so he could start on fixing his mistress’s image. Terrible. 😢
Well..thers no doubt about him loving Camilla.
Actually, in all seasons he appears to be some sort of a modernist
Exactly. He’s only “modern” if it serves him well.
Yes absolutely....he's more like Henry VIII who only sought modernisation to get out of a hated married because he wanted to marry someone else.
Totally selfish.
I loved how Dominic West was a much more attractive Charles than the real Charles ever was lol
I keep seeing ppl say this but I disagree. IMO they’re equal in attractiveness.
why? why are uou so obsessed with looks
Was not expecting an explained video on the crown and LOVED IT! Especially the historical inserts!
Me too, completely agree. Did we "need" an explanation?? LOL. Enjoyed it immensely :)

The ending was chilling. Diana looking behind her and then you see the Queen and hear this squealing sound that was like a car skidding to me.
The first 4 seasons were enjoyable and interesting. This was the most boring season, very disappointing!
Good answer Diana ❤.. “There were three of us in this marriage” Diana was pure Class and had a warm heart.❤ and showed ‘em all up for what they were..
Its not a documentary..... if it was it would show Diana had multiple affairs other than the ones portrayed in the series. some with married men who had wives and kids which ended their marriages. She was loved but no saint herself......
@@sophieblack1755 The Crown is pretty close to the reality of things to my knowledge..Princess Diana had little time to have the Affairs you speak of she was a busy Lady and had children, please don’t spread untruthful information..
@@Celticcross688 Facts: Diana broke up 2 marriages… Will Carling and James Gilbey ( Check it ) and had long time affair with James Hewitt and a few more. She loved Khan and was with Dodi to make Khan jealous. These are facts
@@SusanS777 the blame game..Diana was friends with The captain of the Rugby, because of her boys.. It was a lie..James was single.. and in the Hampshire Regiment who she was head of. I blame Charles completely for her poor treatment in their marriage.
@@Celticcross688 james Gilbey was married and there was the Squiggy tapes and Carlings marriage ended when it all came out. I blame them both
They underplayed the haznat Khan affair Diana, practically stalked him she read all about the heart to try and impress him and even considered converting to Islam she was a very needy person
She called him her soul mate and told her friends that he's the love of her life and perhaps it was the first and only true relationship she was ever in with another person. It annoys me how their love story is almost always underplayed in mainstream media.
That one movie ''Diana'' wasn't a very good depiction of their love story mainly as the casting of both Dr Hasnat Khan and Lady Di was horrible.
Great summarization.
Love it, I'm been watching every night.
I remember watching the original news story of Charles and Diana's engagement and was shocked at what Charles said about whatever love means I thought then something was strange.
When my husband and I saw/heard Charles say that, we immediately looked at each other and knew the marriage was a sham. We knew it was about needing an heir. To me, that interview showed an unprepared naive young woman and an uncaring cold, old fish. I can still recall her sad facial response, the looking down and the look of her questioning that remark. It was the red flag moment that showed the writing on the wall. Uncanny to me that my husband said something along the lines...Like In the past, the monarch will continue with those he would rather be around and when completely done with the wife, she will face the consequences of the doomed marriage....like Anne Boleyn. I remember from history that need for an heir. divorced - beheaded - died - divorced - beheaded - survived
dont be silly. Charles was not old@@kfoster3616
Wild how Martin Bashir, known for getting all the best interviews, was probably doing so by lying and blackmailing people. That's how you do a journalism, folks! 😂
Journalists lie all the time and we Brits like it when they do it against the Royal we are on the outs with but Bashir being blamed for Diana’s interview is silly. As Penny said, Diana did what she WANTED to do. She always had male journalists and confidantes to do her bidding.
@@MTknitter22 yes she was a true manipulator
yes but the story is about the Crown not Fleet Street...it's a drama not a BBC documentary
@@MTknitter22 you’re going to take the word of Charles’ bestie Penny Juror? She’s infamously been linked to him (quite creepily May I add) for the longest time. And even when Diana and Charles were married she spent every interview nitpicking her. A twenty year old.
@@firebyrd437 do you know what that means? Why do you hate Diana so much? What did she PERSONALLY do that offended you so? Last I checked she was used as a brood mare than discarded.
I’m still in shock that Andrew was allowed to divorce before Charles. They tried and tried since the beginning to break up. I feel so bad for all parties.
Funny thing, he and Fergie ended up living together decades after their split.
Andrew was NOT Prince of Wales.
People loved the

Britannia hasn't been "dismantled" it was decommissioned in 1997. You can still see Britannia in Edinburgh.
The amazing part of this series is the hypocrisy of Queen Elizabeth. Why didn't she put a stop to Camilla's involvement with Charles knowing it was wrong. The Queen certainly put her foot down with Princess Margaret. I hope there is a Season 6 showing Princess Diana's work with charities and aids. She was treated horribly by Charles.
dont be so silly
Also Margaret story plot is compared in episode 4 with the theme of swan lake almost foreshadowing the tragic ending.
I guess I’m on the minority for liking the season
though season 4 is still my favorite
I liked it too
This was a much tougher season to watch, perhaps because I remember so much of it (I'm about William's age), but also because some of the casting choices were baffling (I love Dominic West for example, but I cannot see him as Charles). The ONE really good episode, one of my favorites of the entire series, is Mou Mou, the backstory of Mohammed al Fayed. Also has my favorite Diana scene (Elizabeth Debicki was excellent).
I don't even care about the show, but I've not seen a Think Story upload in a while so here I am.
Can you please do explain the cabinet of curiosities in neflix?
Excellent review- thanks!
They've made Diana look like a sociopath with the continuous looking down & eyes looking up etc.
that's what she did.
not a sociopath, just with psychological problems
The Diana actress over-did the head down eyes up look.
I thoroughly agree. It's as if she'd been given only had two acting directions : tearful anguish and doe-eyed, bashful vamp. Her exchanges with Mohammed El Fayed were really delightful to watch. Pity there weren't more scenes like that throughout.

My grandfather served on the Britannia during Diana and Charles honeymoon. We have some very unique pictures of the trip that haven't ever been seen by the public.
write a book and publish the photos would be my suggestion. I'd like to order a signed copy please.
"The Crown" takes after its writer Peter Morgan's own play "The Audience" which actually tells the story of those private weekly meetings between Her Majesty and her prime ministers throughout her reign. Helen Mirren and Kristin Scott Thomas did portrait the Queen on stage magnificently then. And in "The Crown"'s all series, there were plenty of those audiences. ... Now in the last season, HMY Britannia is being decommissioned while Diana prepares for her holiday in the south of France, so it seems. The Royal Yacht was, in reality, taken out of service in December 1997, as where the Princess of Wales did pass away four months prior, in August of the same year. It shall be interesting to see where series 6 takes us for that matter.
I personally didn't like that season at all, at least compared to the previous 4 seasons. The actors in the other seasons (except for Diana) where much better. I especially find that Phillip was kinda strange in season 5
Yes the Philip character was totally mis-cast.
You missed out on so much historic flashbacks from this season. Including that massacre scene, and how it connects to Queen Elizabeth's decision.
Also, the scene where middle eastern leaders badmouthing the Queen during a photo op right next to her..
I need some explaining for those
It was the Russian leader, they were speaking Russian
I loveeeee this show but I could not, for the life of me, get into this season.
Loved most of the cast but the woman playing Diana was horrible. Or maybe just horribly directed. But she spent the entire season with her head tilted down and looking up. After a few episodes it became laughable. I know Diana did that a fair amount, but it seemed like that was the actor's only move.
I agree! I just wonder if the actress could afterwards get her eyes normal again, it really looked weird!
@@rianajoubert8515 😂😂😂
Really?
The melted gold that turns into a crown looks like a serpent? The close up of the handshake between the queen and Blair?
Sorry, but l think that's strictly your interpretation.
It's the same generic opening since season one. It's beautifully lit with great music but still looks like a jewelry ad...
Knowing what we know now about Marc bashit's ambitious it makes me sick to think that had he noted that Diana would have been alive
"ambitious" is an adjective - maybe edit it to "ambition"...
Sorry what do you mean?
What Bashir did was unscrupulous and it's a pity he was not sued. However, the facts surrounding and leading up to the divorce would have come out eventually. Diana alludes to the very real possibility that her children could be taken from her, if she did not give her side of the story. Martin Bashir has nothing to do with her unimely death.
Nonsnese. Bashir did help to alienate her from the RF and friends who might advise her to be more cautious, and as a result, she turned to unreliable people like the Fayeds who were partly responsbile fro her death@@c.a.savage5689
Ať se na to díváme jak chceme Diana měla velice těžký život a smutný osud!Kéž Bůh dá štěstí jejím dětem a jejich rodinám♥️♥️
I had to stop watching by the 3rd ep. I love love love Diana but this show made her look very unstable and I don't want to remember her like that. I want to remember her as the beautiful woman she was to many people and not how she suffered. I was like come on di, fight for yourself. Also the queen was like a extra grandma to me, she was there my whole life. Yes I never met her or seen her but her image was with me. Now she's gone I can't finish the series.
I got angry with the portrayal. It’s all the propaganda from the era used to create a character. It’s disgusting. I was raised not to speak ill or degrade the dead. It seems degradation to Netflix begins only in death. It feeds into their love of torture porn (from Blonde to this). I was very upset seeing how Diana was shown like this instead of who she was. A strong woman finding her voice and herself despite a philanderous man (idk if I spelled that right!) who had sired an illegitimate child in this time too.
The Britannia was never dismantled. She’s sitting dockside in Edinburgh as a tourist attraction. We were onboard her in 2017 and she’s still open to this day, literally. You have terrible fact checkers.
can someone explain me this. The Crown 5.8, Gunpowder, about 36:30 where Diana is talking to the Queen about her interview. 18:42 from end. i thought it very bizarre that Diana just sits down, while Elizabeth is still standing. ok, this is very informal meeting, and all, state protocol does not apply, but still, isn't it rude for younger person, and lower-ranking lady to sit down just like that, without being invited to do so, while older and higher rank lady is standing? Diana was rebel and had mental problems, but she was first of all noblewoman and educated in manners, so, what is going on here, in this episode? i am now expert in manners of English high society, except Downton Abbey, of course 😀 so maybe it's allright, just want to know.
I died when Mohamed made the "valet of the king" joke
Dominic West is very attractive, even portraying Charles.
The actor change was very disappointing and sometimes hard to follow at first, because you have to guess who is who. I love all the other seasons but this one was disappointing. We waited two years. Hopefully, we don't have to wait another two years and they don't change actors again.
When I first saw the actress playing Princess Anne, I thought it was meant to be Margaret. They totally should've had her play Margaret in the previous season. I like Helena Bonham Carter, but I feel like that choice was more about having Carter starring in the show rather than whether she was the right casting.
They stay for two seasons
@@DD-nt8uj I was the same tbh
I thought Season 5 was to be the series finale. I'm glad to hear there will be a continuation to the story.
Why
@@samsam-ko3fp I LIKED it -- and I am tired of hearing how bad or boring it wsa. People seem to be unfairly -- and far too -- critical. It doesn't differ from past seasons because the show's quality or style changed, but because the events were as such. It covered the things that consumed the Royal Family and the news media during those years. They fleshed out some backstories on the Romanovs of Russia and their relation to the British monarchy and horrible slaughter of the entire family. They covered the burning of the queen's beloved castle and other political shifts such as with regard to public sentiment and the transition from Major to Blair, conservative to liberal. I think they did a great job bookending the season with the young QE2 christening Britannia to her ultimately shown "putting her down" or out to pasture.
I also think the likenesses and acting were great. So what, he didn't look as much like Charles as the last one. He embodied him and sounded like him and was close enough to be believable. And I thought Diana's portrayal was probably more accurate than what we've been served up in the past from what we've seen due to her poplar public persona and untimely demise. Yes she was a humanitarian and warm and a loved mother and sister and suffered emotionally, but she also had inner turmoil and could behave childishly and selfishly too by many accounts. She is not to be "deified" just because she died so young and so tragically, although I was devastated too and I remember where I was and how I found out. She will die early in next season and the shift will be toward their boys and politics and other world events. All in all I am quite pleased with it. Yes yes, it was different and didn't have the historical awe of the past seasons, but that is to be expected and doesn't mean it wasn't well executed and commendable -- just changing with the times and subject matter.
The plan was always originally to have six seasons, two with each cast and a two-year break between cast changes. They briefly thought of cutting it to five but went back with the original plan.
@@SWLinPHX Ah. And there it is. That’s what I was looking for. Also, I do recall hearing due to the Queen’s passing, some revisions were being made to the show. I interpreted that to mean there would be verbiage at the end of the season to pay tribute. Therefore sunsetting the series. Plus, there was that push for the show to incorporate a disclaimer to educate viewers on it being fiction. All of this was the writing on the wall for me as to The Crown coming to an end. Thank you for your answer.
@@SWLinPHX There was a memorable scene with Boris Yeltsin gathered with the Queen and other Russian and British dignitaries for a photoshoot. He made some crude remarks in his native tongue about a bayonet being used as recourse for the Queen lecturing him about the Romanov family’s exhumation. That shocked me. I always thought Yeltsin was the most diplomatic of the recent Russian presidents. I never thought he was prone to such vitriolic and crass commentary.
I loved season 5. I also liked The way they brought in The Muslim Dodi and his father.
This showed enormous racism in the monarchy.
It's funny as it doesn't mention a few more affaires Diana had. Show Charles in the right light, was happy that Britannia got decommissioned but gutted that he had to travel business class. Found it funny that Diana voted against the monarchy which would screw up her sons future. That's why it was such a big thing when the Queen sadly died because she did everything for the good of the country, the younger generation just cares about themselves.. Weird that they showed John Major as a person to be trusted after his affair behind his wife's back.
I also think it's funny that Charles liked that Hong Kong was going back to China because Great Britain or the Queen didn't move with the times......How's that working out for Hong Kong now? That's what worries me about the future of the UK as we know that time and time again Charles just get's it wrong
It's all fiction, no one knew what they said ffs, events happened the rest is nonsense, Diana loved the monarchy she was a part of the aristocracy, why do you people think this is real, its not its just made up, honestly people are like sheep at times
@@firebyrd437 Listen dick tip, Yes everyone understands that it's a dramatization of events you do understand that a lot of these conversations were overheard by people or reported on at the time. The events I'm talking about did actually happen, you do understand that it's not all made up there's not going to be a purple dinosaur playing Princess Margret in the next one or the royal family flying around in spaceships. Honestly some people just need to read some long books and educate themselves
We don't need past memories. Life must move on. Let's not stranded in mixed emotions & induce unnecessary pain
Beautiful black dress with a simple necklass that is class
Please do AHS NYC
This wasn’t an explanation, it was a recount. Nicely put together, but please don’t clickbait your titles
Brittania wasn’t dismantled - it’s was decommissioned and is now a musuem
The grey path
Who is Janet Jenkins ????
Please tell us !!!!
Never seen the squigy tapes of Diana and james Gilbey
Both Charles and Diana unhappy
Should have divorced early in 1992 when they both wanted to
I feel the crown season 5 was.
6/10
Liked season 3 and 4 the best so far.
I agree, I’m only up to episode 8, but feel that Diana has got off very lightly so far, but with her son as Royal Advisor, I’m not surprised!
what are you on about? William is not an adviser on this stupid show@@madeleinel6089
I don't know any Series that improves as Seasons go on. It's the Era in the Crown that mattered, not the Royalty.
They got actors that really looked a lot like the real people they were portraying.
brittania is a museum ship. didnt get dismantled
The casting is amazing
When is the next.
You mixed up the words “subjugated” and “subjected.”
I coudnt get through s5 so im here to watch✌🏼
I feel like prince Charles will have been a more lovable person, if he had married the person he really loved (wich is Camilla) like yeah Camilla is no better than Princesse Diana but fr Prince Charles would have been less of a party pooper if he was with someone he enjoyed the most, sad that the monarchy had that kind of rule in the past
I just realized Charles is played by Dominic West to played as Roxie Hart's lover in Chicago. Damn he played cheater twice.
casting is a hit and miss 😔
Love the show
Is there going to be another season and to be honest it ended stupidly why begin a season and it ends
Was kind of disappointed in this season to be honest. After the first 4 or so episodes, it did not do well to hold my attention (much like the previous season), and even amongst all the drama with Diana - perhaps this itself is what made me begin to lose interest? Don't get me wrong, I am as fascinated by Diana's story as the next person, but I feel like a lot of the writing ultimately came out very shallow and began to rely too heavily upon narratives already established within the media. And with that, characters like Charles, Diana and the Queen began to lose their complexity. For example, how many times did we see Diana "being" a mother? I realise the writers only have so much room in each episode to expose the various aspects of these people's lives, but it made it hard to swallow the Queen's reasoning to Diana that her (and the rest of the family's) reasoning for not being there for her is due to the fact that they are "all busy". "All busy?" Doing what? The Queen worrying about what's going to happen to her yacht? - which also I found strange and awkward that this was such an important part to the first episode of the season, but was not resolved until the very last episode? It was almost like they forgot about it, amongst all the Diana and Charles drama, that they then remembered it and decided to somehow slot it back in to the story in the last episode... Acting wise however, I did enjoy Debicki as Diana, and Lesley Manville as Margaret. As much as I do like Staunton and West's attempts as the Queen and Charles respectively, I couldn't take either of them seriously, particularly in respect to the level of emotional complexity that they were attempting to convey. In saying this, I imagine it would be hard to "pick up" from where a previous actor playing their roles has left off, especially when those actors, Olivia Coleman and Josh O'Connor, had two full seasons to really develop and delve into their portrayal of the Queen and Charles - going through, and "living", all the previous experiences leading up to the beginning of season 5. These actors are jumping in without experiencing any of that depth, and unfortunately I think it shows a bit too much. On the other hand, I actually really enjoyed Miller's portrayal as John Major. I really appreciated Miller's subtlety and unassuming quality. Unfortunately, this was perhaps another aspect they did not but could have given more attention to, developing the relationship between the Queen and John Major. And because of this lack, I also found it surprising in the last episode they attempted to do a kind of "repeat" of the farewell between the Queen and Harold Wilson in season 3. It just didn't work.
Just thinking further now, it may have been more interesting to keep the focus a bit more centred around the Queen's experience and knowledge of the Diana/Charles drama, and to build their narrative around this scope, rather than focusing more or less exclusively on Diana and Charles themselves, at the expense of alienating the Queen too much from the main plotline.
Also, how weird was that scene where Diana first met Hasnat Khan (the surgeon) in the hospital whilst waiting with her acupuncturist whose husband has just had surgery, where she is openly discussing her attraction to him? I mean one passing comment would have been enough to get the point, but it kept going?! Was weird and not realistic. Apart from the fact that I feel Diana would've been a bit more sensible to saying something as audacious within those kinds of circumstances, I felt it was a really weak attempt at trying to somehow "justify" the recurrent theme/relationship Diana would have with Khan and the other significant men in this season of Arabic origin, the Fayed's and Bashir.
Kelly Fisher was probably thrilled when Diana and Dodi died. Imagine her fiance leaving her for Princess Diana. As horrible as it sounds, all the jealousy, anger and betrayal feelings went away.
what sort of nasty person would be thrilled when 2 people die tragically?
@@glen7318 I'm sure she was secretly relieved, even though it was such a tragedy. Being left by your fiancee for another woman can be a life-changing, devastating experience. Especially when the other woman is the most famous/beautiful woman in the world.
you must have a nasty streak. Fisher was not in love in any real sense with Dodi, she was goign to marry him but when she found out he was with Diana, she instnatly sued from breach of promise. Why would she wnat him dead? Very weird@@RR-wc6xc
Why did Oies dad want Bitish. Please tell
Kelly fischer
what are you on about?
I think we need a season 7
That’s it? Finished? Last episode? A lot was lacking. It’s like they just wanted to get over what they started😢
The actress that portrays Camilla was MUCH MUCH prettier than the actual Camilla. 🤮
But the rest of the cast were almost dead ringers for the actual people.
I feel like the last season is going to end with Charles and Camila getting married so essentially cover Diana's death Margaret and the Queen mother's death and then end with Camilla in Charles getting married
This season is very protective of Charles and Camilla and very negative about Diana and the monarchy.
It was getting good I look up and it was over lol
LOVE IS BLIND SEASON 3!!!
