its actually unfair for prince charles to be represented by someone who is so lovely to look at because lets be real this guy is way more attractive
Baba Yaga : Tch, nope, he really didn't.
Charlotte Malone that is what I thought. The actress who plays Diana is perfect. She is so beautiful and captures her essence but him.... he is way way too good looking to play Charles.
@Baba Yaga, Prince Charles is and was ugly, inside and outside.
@Baba Yaga I will not insult him again, because he would probably ear me.
@@babe8917 I thought charles looked the same as Connor.
The two welsh episodes were honestly the strongest episodes in the season
Totally agree
Yeah
Yess!!!
YES
Agreed!
not gonna lie but he's proper fit
and proper fine
@@rasyiqahzainudin3250 I think that means the same thing lol
he literally makes me soo angryy in the diana episodes😠😠😠
When he's out of character, YES.
@@Rucha599 me too! He’s so horrible in them!
Not because I’m Welsh, but the Aberfan and the investiture episodes were possibly the best of the season.
And bubbikins.
from an american, you're very right.
yes
from a Chinese, you're very right
As a non Welsh person I would have to agree.
Josh is too adorable. He looks like a lion cub.
Yesssss this is precisely what he looks like
I loved seeing the welsh language and culture being represented in something as mainstream as this! 🏴😊🏴
Exactly, How rude is it that other UK citizens are not fluent in Welsh, Irish or Scottish. I think we could be more better connected if we understood each other.
@@jonprice3342 While it's nice to learn other languages, it's not "rude" if you don't learn Welsh, unless you've moved to a predominantly Welsh speaking area (e.g. parts of North Wales). It takes a lot of time to become conversant in a language and people will generally only invest that time if they're going to use their second language regularly.
littlesmew that wasn’t a woosh you mong. And stop using r/wooosh outside reddit, it’s embarrassing.
@littlesmew They seemed pretty serious to me. ;-)
Jon Price i totally understand but in scotland we don’t speak scottish we speak Gaelic or Scottish Gaelic.
If only Prince Charles looked like that irl.
Right he might have been nicer to Diana and not so jealous
He wishes
The welsh episodes were great the best in the season, Josh was sooo goood.
It was rather gloomy
@Tina Yael Severinovna M. A bit dark though
@@itsme-sn5gi The needless deaths of 144 people (116 of whom were children) in a man-made disaster in Aberfan tends not to lend itself to anything but gloom.
What did you expect; an episode of Police Squad?
False advertisement. Charles never looked this good.
Josh made a really big impact in positive way, he was really great in season 3. Plus, he's adorable.
Season 3 grew on me because of Josh, he’s a brilliant actor as of all of them too.
I'm Irish, and I thought the two Welsh episodes were in the top 3 for Season III (along with Princess Margaret's hilarious dinner with US President Lyndon Johnson). I also thought Josh O'Connor's performance as Price Charles was excellent. His portrayal made you empathise with his character, which is quite unique for this show. Very surprised though that Northern Ireland wasn't even mentioned once in Series III, espeically as that time period from 1964-1977 saw the start of The Troubles, Bloody Sunday and the Birmingham and Guilford pub bombs, among other atrocities. I guess they won't be able to ignore the issue come Series IV when they will have to cover Lord Mountbatten's murder by the IRA in Sligo in 1979.
Youre absolutely correct
Did it? I don’t remember having any empathy for his character whatsoever.
Ah, sorry, I just realized you’re talking about season 3. He’s insufferable in 4.
@@dewilew2137 Yeah Dewi, in season 4 he’s a moaning, pain in the arse.
But in season 3, especially the episode where he’s trying to learn Welsh, he came across all rebellious and empathetic.
Alas, he had no spine to stand up to his family. Great portrayal by Josh O’Connor regardless.
@@gavindoyle692 i gave up on the series in the 4th season when it turned to more familiar events thanks to all the Diana coverage. Curious if it ever covered Northern Ireland beyond Mountbatten? Seems the show operates as low-key propoganda for the monarchists IMO.
He's so damn hot. lol
Jade Duncan i know right hahaha
Agreed
I want to give him a big hug! He's so cute!
*Josh is WAY TOOOOOO HANDSOME*
I loved this storyline, being that I have Welsh ancestry. And he's just lovely.
My grandmother was Welsh.
Josh is sooooo cuteee!!
Definitely, the two Welsh episodes were the greatest of the 3th season. I can't even remember how many time I watched them, but I could learned a lot about Wales and its language, since I'm Mexican and I love to discover new things about other countries, cultures and languages. It reminded me of one occasion that I had to design a turistic flyer of Wales, and I needed to research everything I could to portrait all the information needed. Everyone loved my flyer and I enjoyed learning about Wales. Greetings from Mexico. I love Wales
Josh did great! Can’t wait to see more of him in season 4,💖
Welsh as a Celtic language not unlike Irish or Scottish Gaelic are brilliant and beautiful languages. I just wish I had access to learn them from fluent speakers here in Canada. Welsh kinda freaks me out though because the spelling really throws off the pronunciation. I'm sure once you learn all the rules and grammatical structure of these languages, especially Welsh then it would be less confusing. Like others I was really impressed Welsh got a proper highlight this season.
@Fino Menezes That;s excellent and good to know. Thanks!
I'm currently learning Welsh, we're using materials from the learnwelsh.cymru website
Guys go check out Say Something in Welsh. People are making really quick progress on it :) recommended it so many times to my non-Welsh speaking friends and family and they think its a great tool.
@@cherryaidchastity I legitimately read this as "go check out the song 'Say Something" in Welsh" but then realized that's not what you meant lol. Good resource though, thank you. Now I do want to hear that song in Welsh actually lol
drew ... Welsh is very phonetic!
Josh is such a sweetie protect him at all cost😩😩😩
He plays a better Prince Charles than Prince Charles
Maybe we should switch them in the dead of night.. It would be sure to cause a commotion..
Hell ya Wales/Welsh get that mainstream representation ✌🏻❤️🏴
Unlike Prince Charles, Josh is hot!💖
I always thought Charles was handsome when he was young, he just got old fast. Being the future king AGES you.
@@xxwhispersxx2856 really? I couldn’t see it ever since I learned about him when I was on the sixth grade lol.
I was so happy when he told his friend that his mother wouldn’t understand a word and it didn’t matter what he said.
And she gone and ruined it by having it translated and it wasn’t insulting to the crown. It showed progression and she was not happy and he was crushed
It’s not the actual speech he gave. It’s weird that they changed it in the tv show. www.oprahmag.com/entertainment/tv-movies/a29863356/prince-charles-real-welsh-investiture-speech-the-crown/
@@deltaflute03 I think they wanted to make it more straightforward for the show. Because Charles was sneaky, his speech alluded to the pro Welsh sentiments that he felt rather then just blatantly saying it.
He’s so cute I love him
My favorite episode from season 3...I never heard about the Welsh language before. .🇬🇾
Very unexpected place to see a GY flag.
My favourite episodes too . Disappointed that I cannot find a Welsh flag emoji here . 🤔
gaenor cherry ... 🏴
kessmarl , thank you . Your eyesight is better than mine 😂
He is so handsome 😍
He’s just so cute
Way to handsome to play Prince Charles
But those ears?!? Right on the freakin money .
He’s amazing in God’s Own Country!
Josue2018 yes, very sexy!
My god, i cant get that out of my head whenever I see him.
Yeah, he was really good😁
I watched it last week...wonderful movie
😜
lord have mercy this man has this adorable charm to him god i hope he continues to steal my heart 🥺
Great actor!
Great actor indeed and seems to be a nice guy.
I have been to wales and that is the most beautiful part of this world. Have never been anywhere better than that❤️.
I can't unsee him as charles.. it will be creepy for me watching his upcoming movie..
Lovely Josh, so beautiful
I'm English speaking Welsh. I finally convinced one of my husband's Welsh speaking aunties that I am Welsh by responding with Ych a fi to something. Cwtch and ych a fi were used a lot in my English speaking Welsh home as a child
I'm half Welsh but I live in England so don't know that much Welsh but my mother and grandmother always used to drop a few Welsh phrases here and there. Ych a fi was a very common one from my grandmother, heard often at meals when my sisters and I forgot our manners!
I loved seeing him in God’s Own Country, I’m glad he’s still finding success
So first thing first he's actually really charming!
this man makes me weak in the knees... just by him existing
Adorable man!
Ok... Josh... well done. I have no idea what you said , but well done... I'm still blown away with your performance in Gods Own Country.! Transformation from you today to then is superb. Great actor.
The episode where prince Charles learned to speak welsh was the first time I ever heard of the language. It’s so unique and I tried to learn how to pronounce some of the words but damn it’s hard lol
Love joshhh him amazing man !!!
I am learning Welsh on duolingo... Right after Spanish and Polish )))
Powodzenia :)
Ych a fi is strikingly similar to the Swedish 'ush och fy' used in (I imagine) the same way.
Wow! I admire people who can speak multiple languages or at least are not afraid to try. If it was me - having to try learning Welsh i think i would burst into tears. Amazed this actor did quite well & even remembered his lines. Welsh is a challenging language to learn i feel, and I mean this in a respectful way to her native speakers.
Love this videos ❤❤❤
The revelation of the new season.
I’ve never seen this young man act before but I think he did a great job as Prince Charles, well done sir I loved all of season 3 the crown btw🇮🇪😊
He's Marius in Les Mis
Omg I love Welsh. It is such a beautiful language
I love Josh in The Durrels in Corfu and The Queen👍🏼
Love all three season of the Crown 😍🌟🌍📷♥️♥️♥️❤❤❤
Watched to the end!
Omg am I in love????
I feel so bad. All my life I thought Wales was part of England. Didn't knew it is a different country. Thanks to The Crown I'm now learning and doing a little research about that beautiful place.
Zai Salas ouch, I think you just horrifically insulted every welsh person by telling them you thought they were english ;)
The United Kingdom is made up of four nations: England Scotland Wales and Northern Ireland. How could you be so wrong?
@@Skyebright1 I know! So bad. But now I know.
@@ds1868 I never pay attention to that. It's like asking someone from Wales about America They probably will call America only to USA not knowing that it's the continent not only one country and it's disrespectful to others Americans from other countries of the continent.
I was born in North Wales and lived there till the age of 17 and moved to London in 2013. I love being Welsh! I’m from a small town beginning with ‘R’ in North Wales but I can’t say 😂
That language is so unique and probably very difficult to learn if one was not raised with it. To be honest heard it the first time in this extent through this show. Impressive heritage and culture.
Josh 😍
He's so cute!!!!
Very nice.
Good! Regional languages should be preserved. I loved that episode.
It's not regional. The country was founded by a completely different group of people and It's a separate culture entirely. But you are right. The language should be protected.
Visually the best casting choice since Louis Mountbatten in S1/S2
It's very hard for me to learn foreign languages. But if Josh O'Connor would be my teacher, I would learn such a complex language like the welsh with pleasure.
I wish there were welsh youtubers! And i mean whole vlogs or something like this in the welsh language!
Half of this I already know because of Michael Sheen.
I’m in love I guess
*Wow😍*
Shw'mae ? I thought it was "siomai" the food . Lol
Samez
I knew most of these thanks to Michael Sheen teaching Jon Hamm welsh slang.
Still waiting on the Welsh Rosetta Stone with Michael Sheen as the teacher.
he is cute , and adorable , from Mexico
Although I feel season 3 was lacking in areas (pacing, ect), I also feel that it would have been much improved if the focus had been on Charles.
Joseph Michael it was
Your going to do Welsh 🤣 was right there and she said well missed opportunity
1:30 i remember that place's name in an episode of french & saunder's lord of the ring parody lol
Several phrases also pronounced by Michael Sheen in the video, where he talks about Welsh slang with John Ham.
Makes me want to learn Welsh
He knew what more of it meant than me and I’m Welsh 😂
1:44 This must be a superpower
The first time I heard welsh was when Princess Diana gave a dinner speech in Welsh while visiting Wales for the first time.
Feel like a failure as a Welsh person 😂 I knew like 4 of these.
He: F I N E
him and i have the same birthday. i would like him as my gift
I'm Welsh Canadian
so yeah, that's cool I guess
Gorgeous man 👀
I just watched the episode and wondered if young people in Wales today still speak the language. Is it still used in everyday situations or is there a difference between rural and city areas?
Welsh is still pretty widely spoken as an everyday language in Wales, about 19% of Wales' population speak Welsh.
Yes, Wales are known for resurrecting their language after a determined effort, they have 1/4 million speakers of Welsh I believe. They have in fact worked with people in my home country New Zealand, where Māori have tried to firstly retain and then increase the use of, our language.
@@april-tui3524 that's really cool! Thank you for your answer!
Lord Kiddledore you’re welcome :) I didn’t think anyone spoke welsh either, until the partnerships with my own people and we learnt of how successful they had been, it’s really impressive. Sadly NZ has a different scenario with a fragile race relations and the refusal to put Māori as a core subject in schools, but other measures have been adopted and proven helpful.
Ceredigion, where Aberystwyth University is (that's the uni Charles learnt Welsh at, and the university I attended) is one of the few Welsh speaking majority areas. 54% of residents of Ceredigion speak Welsh. In Aberystwyth itself that drops to 39% but considering that half of the town's population are students including a significant number of International Students and non-Welsh Brits that figure of 39% is very impressive compared to the Welsh average of 19% of citizens speaking Welsh.
baby
❤️❤️❤️❤️
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Welsh people, please keep your welsh language alive. I know from personal experience how much of one’s own identity is tied to one’s native language. When you lose your language, you lose a part of your identity. It’s not right.
Wow, so different than English!!!!
so they basically used the words used in the Jon Hamm and Michael Sheen video, where Michael teaches us Welsh slang? Just an observation. Beautiful language
ZAAADDDYY
Why is he so cute irl
❤️💚😍
when i use keyboard as a pillow with ms word open 👉 1:22
🥰🥰🥰
What a beautiful elegant man he is - Welsh, English or British,
Welsh first British second. He isn't English.
@@ds1868 He's not Welsh at all he's English
I'm Irish and I thought Welsh would be somewhat similar to Irish like how Scottish is but it's completely different. So interesting
They’re both Celtic languages but Welsh, Cornish and Breton are Brittonic (originated from Britain). Irish, Scottish and Manx form the Goidelic languages.(originated from Ireland). I’m not sure how exactly they link up to be part of the Celtic language or more-so the major differences between the two to make that distinction but it is interesting to say the least.
I never even knew that Welsh was so far removed from English until I watched The Crown S2. I just always assumed Scottish, Welsh, Irish and English were different dialects that evolved and were partly comprehensible to all the speakers, somewhat like Danish, Swedish and Norwegian. Guess I was wrong!
That's really interesting! But as you've probably now discovered, they are very different languages, each telling the story of the different settlers and invaders into Britain throughout history. Welsh, Cornish, Cumbric (now extinct, but was spoken in Northern England and the lowlands of Scotland), Breton, and very probably Pictish (also extinct, but was spoken in northern Scotland) all evolved from the ancient Brythonic language; the language spoken by the ancient Britons throughout the island of Britain for thousands of years. When the Angles, Saxons, etc (better known as the Anglo-Saxons) invaded/arrived on the island of Britain in the 5th century A.D., they brought with them their Germanic language; an ancient form of the English we all know today, and went on to colonise the part of Britain that is now England. Around that time, the Gaelic-speaking Scotti tribe began to dominate the Pictish kingdom in northern Scotland, eventually going on to dominate the Cumbric-speaking kingdoms in much of southern Scotland before going on to form the Scotland that we all know today. And the ancient Britons were reduced and forced back into the parts of Britain now known as Wales and Cornwall, with Cornwall eventually being absorbed into the nation of England.
So the name Scotland comes from the name of the Scotti tribe, while the name England comes from the term 'Angle-land', and the name Wales comes from the old-English derogatory term 'Wēalas'; a term used by the Anglo-Saxons to refer to the native Britons. And even after living side by side on the same island for 1,500 years, the Welsh, Scottish, and English have all managed to fiercely hold onto their individual identities, histories, cultures, and languages. :)
Irish Gaelic and Scottish Gaelic would probably be closest but both of them and welsh are very different linguistically to English ;)
@@ClaribelleC fascinating! Thank you for that! :D
@@ClaribelleC Scotti weren't really a tribe just a term used by the Romans to describe the Irish and raiders from Ireland.
@@thenextshenanigantownandth4393 True, in the earliest writings where the Scotti are mentioned, it does appear to be a term that was used by the Romans to describe all Gaels from what is now Ireland. But the meaning of the term eventually changed, and was narrowed down to refer only to the group of Gaels that had settled in northern Britain. And since this group shared a common culture, kinship, and language, the word tribe seemed appropriate; at least up until their language and culture extended to the Picts and the Britons. But I apologise if I caused offence. :)
I wonder how long Josh had to learn on his Welsh speeches?
