Well considering he died with her after Wallis basically abandoned him he was very faithful. He had many affairs but he was very passionate about the wrong thing when he wanted to be
A little detail I noticed. When Rose and the Prince are dancing together, there's a slight stiffness between them because although, they both know how to dance, they've never danced with each other, so they don't know the other's quirks (and also Rose is probably beyond nervous because this is *the* Prince) but when Robert and Cora start dancing, there is no stiffness at all because they've been dancing together for years and years, so they know exactly how the other moves.
I felt that the actor chosen to play the part of the Prince of Wales was likely the only miscasting. The Prince of Wales was apparently extremely handsome with a charming way about him which meant everybody loved him and, even though the relationship with Wallis was exposed, they didn't want him to abdicate. Historians tell us that he didn't want to be king and enjoyed the social life more. The actor was a dull fellow. Couldn't carry on a conversation. Wasn't the handsome man that history tells us he was and couldn't dance to save himself. He was clumping around the dance floor with Rose.
I guess it's easy to forget that they're all actors. The actors playing Robert and Cora have been rehearsing their parts as have the actors playing the Prince and Rose. The actor playing the Prince was a poor dancer.
@@monique8641 Slight correction on the "historian" input: Edward VIII VERY MUCH DID WANT TO "BE" KING (plus own all the assets that being the Sovereign entailed, and receive all the deference owed to the King); HOWEVER, what he DIDN'T WANT were the OBLIGATIONS, DUTIES, and self-discipline CONSTRAINTS of being the King -- i.e., immaturely and selfishly, he wanted all the "goodies" and the "fun & games" associated with being King, bet he didn't want the duties and "drudgery" that also came with the job. In fact, he wanted to be King so much that he sought a way to "have his cake and eat it too" by agreeing to a Morganatic marriage if that would satisfy Parliament. He also plotted with HItler's government in an attempt to be restored to the throne !!
@@wingedbuffalo4670slight correction there is no proof of Edward VIII's involvement in that plot there is more evidence of Edward not wanting to work with the nazis Like when France fell he fled to Spain hoping to get on a boat to Britain it was during his short stay in Spain that the Nazi's would try to abduct the Former King This attempt failed and Edward escaped Edward was basically running and trying to stay out of Nazi's hands if he was truly a Nazi sympathizer then please explain why he would run from them and why did the nazis resort to abducting him Doesn't sound like Edward VIII liked the nazis that much tbh
@@palastofhistory4026 He was "trying to stay out of Nazi hands" because PM Winston Churchill basically ORDERED him (through his brother King George VI) to do so, and where to go to escape. Churchill -- a dedicated monarchist and a man who had supported Edward VIII and had worked hard to try to preserve the throne for him via morganatic marriage -- soon soured on Edward VIII because of the plot and realized he couldn't trust him. That's why, once the Duke of Windsor was safely out of Continental Europe, Churchill had him exiled to Bermuda during the war as a "governor" (pointedly NOT anywhere in the UK and NOT anywhere in Canada either).

Well, it probably was not *that* bad with every Royal, even though it was a different time than now. Today is not the first quarter or so of the 20th century. These days when members of the Royal Family sit they are nearer the ground, to reference a comment by the First Elizabeth. And Prince Edward was basically the George Cloony-James Franco rolled into one of his day. He was extremely popular. The scene, as Edward and Rose danced, reminded me of a song of the time, "I've Danced With A Man Who's Danced With A Girl Who's Danced With the Prince of Wales." It was about Prince Edward, at the height of his popularity in the 1920's.

@@jaimesantos1170 No. This scene is from Season 4 Episode 8 when the family travel to London for the Season and Lady Rose's debut into London society.

Its always nice to see Lady Rose in Robe De Style which gives such a subtle hint to her character. Even with the androgynous fashions in the early 1920s, she stuck to the more feminine styles. The funny thing is that the actress Lily James reportedly hated them 😄
I can't think of too many women who enjoyed wearing a corset for x-amount of hours during the day. Even though during the early 1920s, corsets we're vastly becoming obsolete and undergarments we're steering towards what women wear today. Thank God for bras, slips, panties and stockings.
Corsets usually aren’t fitted properly for actresses, so a lot of them talk about them being painful, when corsets when they’re fitted properly should be comfortable to wear
@@m.layfette6249corsets aren’t uncomfortable, they should fit to the persons form. Bras and spandex are much more uncomfortable. The idea of corsets being uncomfortable comes from ‘tight-lacing’ where corsets were used to pull in the waist. This was only done rarely and by a few people (the same way we don’t walk about dressed like celebrities at the Met Ball)
@@Skyebright1 They take a slim woman, who in most eras would be padding out her bust and hips to get the fashionable shape, and try to give her the shape with just the lacing to make her waist smaller.

Oh, I wish you had kept Harold and Madeleine's dialog. That story just makes me feel a mixture of joy and sadness. I think they would have made a happy couple after all.
I don't recall the details, but to speak in the American vernacular, Rose saved the Prince's bacon and this was his way of returning the favor. When she was first introduced, I thought of Rose as a party girl but she quickly showed herself to be caring and wonderful.
Robert Jardine They’d been together for 16 years (1918-1934), and apparently he’d had other dalliances during that time. Maybe they both grew tired of each other.

No, the Prince would not have made a good match. When you read more about him, the UK was very lucky that he abdicated in favour of his brother. Rose was much, much better off with Atticus.
David was never his first name, though. Edward VIII had been baptized “Edward Albert Christian George Andrew Patrick David”, the last name of which was what his family & friends called him. Formally, he was Edward, Prince of Wales.

Tbh Lady Rose should appear in 2nd movie since she's absence in 1st movie
Having hearing the Scatters Waltz on that Movie clip it Reminds Me of My old Arturo Toscanini LP on His Master's Voice from the 1950's Record Number ALP 1441
Rose’s dress is...interesting.
I was thinking the same hahha
It was the fashion!
While odd for modern tastes, that style of dress was actually one of the most fashionable styles evening dresses of the 1920s. It's called the 'robe de style'. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robe_de_style
Carson was in heaven to conduct the music.
Lily James who plays Lady Rose is Matt Smith's current girlfriend
Ex, if you believe the tabloids.
@@NC-hu3ti Yeah the tabloids love to make trouble, but if they have split up, one of them will probably say so if they want to.
That's great! Who's Matt Smith?
@@richardm3023 Matt Smith played Prince Philip, the Queen's husband in the first couple of seasons of "The Crown", and I think he's playing the Prince of Wales ( Later King Edward VII , the Queen's uncle who abdicated) in this episode.
@@danielleporter1829 Actually, he would become Edward VIII, and that's not Matt Smith playing the Prince in the episode, the actor is named Oliver Dimsdale.

Alguien me puede decir que temporada y capitulo es ? ...
Part of me really wanted Rose to end up with the prince but I love her character role in Season 5
The show may have run into some real-life people for a bit, but they weren't planning to rewrite British history.
flyboy152 I know it’s just a ship thing, I definitely preferred her with Atticus
Hope Alexia Yiasoumi Knowing what we do about Edward’s future, it’s a good thing he didn’t end up with Rose.
flyboy152 that is true
No, the Prince would not have made a good match. When you read more about him, the UK was very lucky that he abdicated in favour of his brother. Rose was much, much better off with Atticus.
Anybody know the name of the waltzer? Would be highly appreciated.
I don't think he was ever called "Prince Edward." He was "David, Prince of Wales," then "King Edward."
David was never his first name, though. Edward VIII had been baptized “Edward Albert Christian George Andrew Patrick David”, the last name of which was what his family & friends called him. Formally, he was Edward, Prince of Wales.
Alguien sabe el nombre de la pieza por favor???
Aww, makes me feel bad for Frida Dudley Ward! Just like Mary Boleyn, the sorrow they must have felt by being dumped is so often overlooked!
@Linda Grammer not only married but having an affair wiht someone else. However, David dropped their firendship abruptly when he met Wallis
Well at least Mary Boleyn survived. The histories I've read (and I'm not sure of their veracity) state that Henry fathered two children with Mary: a boy and a girl.
@monique8641 most historians believe that Mary,'s daughter Catherine Carey was Henry's but they are unsure about her son because Mary and her husband were living away from court when he was born
@@pedanticradiator1491Anne Boleyn took him as her ward, so there is the possibility given Henry Carey was born in March, and then Henry moved onto Anne
@Skyebright1 as I said historians are not sure who Henry Carey's father was
What is that waltz called?
