Man if i was her husband, i don't even care if i only listen to opera music, i would like to appreciate her effort for rehearsing and dancing like that and wishing me a happy birthday in front of everybody..i mean i would go on stage myself and thank her personally like "thank you all for coming tonight, and most importantly for my beautiful wife thank you so much, darling" Like damn i was watching this scene and trying to pause it multiple times because i was uncomfortable of how charles looked at diana
I don't think he was jealous. Because is his selfish and unsecure personality, he felt embarrassed. As usual, she was the one bringing the attention. He hate that. Any other man, will be proud and happy to be celebrated that way by his wife.
Cheating is a choice though. Charles cheated on Diana first. We can blame the people around them or the system, etc, but he was the one who returned to Camilla. No one forced him to go back to her. It was he who courted Diana in the first place.
He desired her from the start, then the desire turned into jealousy because of all the people liking her, he envied her personality and wanted in his shadow
I can empathise completely. I went in for a dancing competition on holiday with my husband and two boys. All the parents were dancing except a few including my husband. I won best Mummy dancer and my boys were thrilled. My husband who sat on side lines reading his paper was unimpressed and said he didn't see even though I was up on stage getting my award. He accused me of making a fool of myself but I only wanted to make him proud. This scene reminded me so much of that moment.
Don’t listen to that. Look at princess Diana, she was beautiful and loved by everyone. She was perfect, and you were doing the same thing, you were trying to make him proud. If he doesn’t appreciate, he doesn’t deserve you. I don’t know him, but reading what you wrote makes me so angry that he didn’t congratulate you. You are worth a lot
In the last year of my marriage to my ex-husband, I was winning awards right left and centre, for work I had done. Hubby was the only one who wasn't pleased for me, and who said that my winning prizes for my work was "embarrassing". We divorced 2 years thereafter.
I just wanna say Josh O’ Connor deserves an award for his performance in The Crown. The hate and anger I felt when watching this scene was off the roof and it’s all thanks to his amazing acting
@@mikhailjoshuapahuyo1431 Sometimes, when people are raised by parents who are too cold, often showing lack of affection, then those very people, when grown ups, tend to do the same thing with their own children and family... Childhood is such a crucial point in life and it can affect your adult life and personality in many ways.
@@SamsungS23Ultr I think the statement is fairly accurate. No one from the crown helped her when she really needed it and when they were forced to, they made haste of the matter to be done with it ASAP.
Philip had his bad times with the queen.. at one stage he was away doing his own thing for several months.. and he has always been busy with his own projects. He and the queen never lived in each other's pockets. Even in latter years, the queen didn't visit him in hosspital and he lived in Sandringham while she was in London....Charles and Diana lived together and the press wanted to see them as a couple all the time in the 80s so they never got a break from the tension they lived under.
@@glen7318 Charles es débil siempre quejándose de su infancia y su padre, creo yo que el Duque de Edimburgo al que sacaron de Grecia en una caja de 🍊 cuando era un bebé vivió toda su vida en el exilio su madre acabó en un manicomio su padre les abandono y su hermana favorita y sus sobrinos murieron en un accidente de avión sufrió más que Charles.
Why did they never cut this girl some slack? She was in her early 20s and she liked to dance. Why would this be so contentious? Diana has a worldwide magnetic charisma that will never die out.
Because Royals were supposed to be reserved and almost dead. It was the values the Queen instilled in him if you watch it, being carefree and outgoing in values that Princess Margaret, Diana, and later Harry had been frowned upon as they were expected to be reserved, appropriate, and dutiful. Doing what you 'liked' didn't come into the Queen's vocab but rather doing what you were 'expected'. They didn't want the Royals to be seen as entertainers or footloose and fancy-free celebrities.
@@shanefolan Well, the prince was like a little kid when they installed conservative values into his head, I don't see anybody cutting him some slack at all. The Monarch exists as a form to conserve tradition, not a necessary thing but that's what the British need to gloat to the French, because they have nothing else traditional wise worthy to gloat about.

Charles is the perfect bachelor, one that should never have got married....to anyone, least of all that poor girl. She deserved better. 19, what the hell did she know about men?
I think he should have just married Camilla in the first place. The problem was dragging a clueless 19 year old into this mess. Diana did deserve better
Not really he always loved Camilla... his entire life. I would say he is actually a very loyal person who was forced into a marriage he didn’t want. Sadly Diana was a causality.
We all agree that he should've just married Camilla from the very beginning instead of dragging this poor 19 yr old into the mess. But Charles didn't want to abdicate. He could've had Camilla, and pressured her to divorce her husband. Camilla on the other hand, could just get a divorce and defy her parents and be with Charles. But if these two did it then, he wouldn't be in line for Kingship. But it turned out, that rule could be thrown out lol, now he doesn't even have to abdicate to marry Camilla. I always feel, oh poor Diana.

@@jellyfishi_, I'm sure she would notice and reply to those who she can tell she made a difference in their lives. Please don't forget the good in social media.
maybe that’s the reason why he chose to stick w god forbid i say this wretched name, camilla, not bcs of ‘love’ but bcs it always soothed his ego, being loved by a married woman who can serve as his emotional dumpster, and also why he despised diana so much bcs diana was... diana... and his masculinity couldn’t handle being upstaged.
Charles wanted to be loved and approved by the public, and he was very insecure with Diana's natural ability to charm everyone. Even Diana revealed in interviews how jealous he was of her. Ironic that Charles and Camilla are hated because of what they did to Diana. If he only just loved her, the public wouldve loved him, too.
I agree but I think season 4 did a great job showing how camila was a much more perfect fit for him and how she understood him. It showed the family should of just let them get married in the first place. I think it also showed that not only how charles didn't understand Diana but how she didn't understand him. The age difference was too large and she was so isolated from the royal family was so sad to watch.
I think it's stupid that everyone loves Diana and hates Charles. They were both forced into the marriage. They both had affairs. One was just more private and didn't speak about it and the other did interviews to get sympathy. They were just very different people with different personalities that clashed a bit.
He also didn’t want her. That’s the point. It’s not about who deserves who. It’s about how about we just let people marry who they want to instead of dragging people into marriages where they won’t be happy.
@@CaptainPikeachu But they did. In the annals of history, Charles did love Diana. However, Diana won people over and Charles was jealous of that approval. He went to Camilla for comfort since they were in a relationship before Diana. Charles loved both women but chose Camilla over Diana.
Charles in this series reminds me so much of my ex - I thought something was wrong with me and people disliked me. Turns out after he dumped me that I was well-liked by his friends and family and they talked highly about me. Jealous and couldn’t stand it. So glad I never married him. Poor Diana. She deserved so much better.
Sometimes people shouldnt have gotten together; thats what this story reminds me of. It sucks how he treated her; but he knew all along who he was in love with. That poor sweet woman and her children did not deserve the pain they have endured. This series really helped put their humanity out for us all to see.
I read somewhere that this wasn't the actual night of his birthday, it was about a week before this show. He was very angry that the headlines the next day would be about her though.
Emma is so amazing! She deserves a GOLDEN GLOBE! I just couldn’t believe her performance as Princess Diana! LOOOOOOOVE! I adored DIANA since I was a little child and she completely nailed it! Means a lot! I’ve watched her wedding and her funeral! It’s not fair! Gone too soon!
@K90_ 2019Charles could have stayed single and ruled as an unmarried king. Next in line if he died would have been Prince Andrew. They didn't change the rules regarding male/female heirs until fairly recently. Anne is pretty far down the list. Her kids even more so.
He really should not have married Diana. It seems ridiculous to me that he couldn't just say no to marrying her and at least try and find someone he genuinely liked. His relationship with Camila is pathetic.
@K90_ 2019 Yes, the new generation of children is affected by the change. Anne, Charles and Andrew and Edward are not. Meaning if Charles never married or had children, next in line if he dies(old rules still apply) is Andrew. After Andrew would come his daughters. I urge you to look up current order of succession. Princess Anne seems more worthy than her brothers, I agree, but that is not how the system works. If Queen Elizabeth had a younger brother, she would not be queen.
@@jellyfishi_ Yeah. That's something I would never understand. As an heir to the throne, even if I'm forced to marry someone I don't know, I'll do my best to actually fall in love with her and make it work because it is my duty. Diana was literally beautiful and charming, it wouldn't have been hard to do that if he actually wanted to do it. And even if he was still in love with Camilla and couldn't get over it, he and Diana could have come to an agreement of sorts and he could have kept Camilla as a mistress while still having a happy marriage to Diana. The same way Charles' ancestor King Edward VII kept Camilla's ancestor Alice Keppel as a mistress and confidante while still having a happy marriage to his wife Queen Alexandra, to the point that they were both at his bedside when he died. If this had happened in Charles and Diana's case, everyone would have been happy. But I do agree that a lot of blame falls on his parents. Maybe subconsciously, he never wanted it to work and for that to be a kind of fuck you to his parents. And if his parents were his heroes, he would have been willing to do anything to make them proud. I don't really know how to explain it but you get my point right?
@@richierich7229 just because someone is beautfiful and charming does not make them lovable. He did fall a bit in love with Diana and he certainly tried at frist to make it work and so did she.. because they had to.,.. But it didn't work... She was young, immature and ill.. and charles gave up trying after a few years. She did too, and tried to find another man...
Instead of his immature jealousy he should have been happy that she‘s loved by people. It breaks my heart when I think about the fact that one half of her short life was ruined by him and Camilla and the other members of the royal family.
The actress portraying diana did really well. I saw her interviews and she looks quite boyish, but she pulled this off really well. Reminds me of rooney mara when she played lisbeth in the girl with the dragon tattoo.
People forget that Charles was a victim in a sense too. Elizabeth and Philip scrutinized nearly everything he did while he was growing up and emotionally, they were just never "there" for him like they should have been. It's not right, but I can understand WHY he was jealous of his wife. Seemingly everything Diana did, even if unintentional or done with little effort, was met with nothing but praise and adoration. She got positive attention from people quite easily, unlike Charles.
this is my favorite scene in the crown, it never fails to make me smile and happy. she did so well and her expressions are top notch ✨ just the part where she was dancing and enjoying herself 💖
Thank you Netflix for this scene and well done to the crew for recreating it, Diana's best must be so happy that this was recreated for world to see and remember how much fun she was and her love for dancing.
I have been reading through the comments and it frustrates me that people don't realize what the core problem of their failed marriages was. From DAY 1 Camilla was a factor in their relationship (even before they were married). We know from diana's secret tapes made for Andrew Morton's book and the video tape she made with her voice coach the following: 1.) She was a guest of Andrew and Camila Parker Bowles during her engagement wherein which Camila was telling her what Charles likes and doesn't like and asking in and out if she likes hunting and horse riding etc. She said she was too naive at the time to realize why Camila was asking her those questions. 2.) A short few days before the wedding, Diana discovered a bracelet Charles had designed and made for Camila with their nicknames Fred and Gladys engraved on it. I think imo this is when everything hit home for her. She wanted to call off the wedding but her sisters persuaded her not to. 3.) She held out hope that things would change once they were married but she said that was slashed by day 2 of their honeymoon. She saw two pictures of Camila in his diary. 4.) Later on their honeymoon she saw him wear cufflinks with two Cs intertwined and realized Camila gave it him and he confirmed this when she confronted him. This marriage was a sham from the beginning and the third person whom was only 19 years old was left in the dark about this fact and had find out the truth on her own. That is at the core of this whole mess. I don't know Charles but he seems from the outside to have a good relationship with his kids BUT for this situation he and his now wife was absolutely rotten, for two people in their 30s to do this to a 19 year old girl is absolutely shameful.
Agreed that Charles and Camilla made Diana their scapegoat for their own anger and frustration at not being able to have a relationship out in the open. Poor 19 yr old virgin Diana....
@@flowerseva Unpopular opinion - Diana aimed to marry into the royals, or close to them. Hear me out. Diana had almost no education (she failed her O levels not once but twice, and came home from boarding school after only six weeks) no work history to speak of (a brief stint as a nanny and then a few months as a nursery school assistant) and no previous boyfriends. She was raised to do one thing and one thing only - marry a rich upper crust toff, pop out a few kids, and look good while doing it. Her sisters had already done exactly that. Diana just happened to land a husband that was a bit more upper crust than most. The sad thing is, I really believe she would have been happier if she'd just marrried an ordinary fella and lived a life as a country squire's wife. That was all she really wanted all along.
09.23.2024 @MKL951 Finally, someone who knows the true score. Charles never loved or wanted to be with Diana, in anyway. Charles was truly in love, devoted, fascinated & satisfied with Camilla & had been years before he was instructed to marry Diana. It was an impending disaster.
@@theshillneckedlizard8364 Diana did not "aim," Lady Roche did. She and the late queen mother had picked out Diana for Andrew. This was hinted to her by her grandmother that she was destined to grandiose things, to marry into the royal family. Hence the nickname Duch short for duchess which she would have been if she had married Andrew. Charles was supposed to marry Mountbatten's granddaughter, but she refused. Then Sarah Spencer was chosen but they only saw each other a couple of times before they knew it would not work. Jane Spencer was already engaged to Lord Fellowes so she could not be the next choice. It was decided Diana was because it was more important Charles have heirs than Andrew; but Diana being only 16 they had to wait until she was 18. Then Diana was invited to a house party where Charles was to go on purpose for them to meet. Yes, Diana had met him before but at the time he was seeing Sarah. This time was a purposely arranged meeting to eventually become an arranged marriage. That Lady Roche was one nasty piece. She is the one that had married off Diana's mother at barely 18 to a man in his 30's then took that man's side, a serial cheater when her daughter decided to leave him for another man. In that old bitty's mind marriage was only for status not for love.
@@peachygal4153 Fair point, the idea may not have originally been Diana's, but she certainly went along with it. Not that she can really be blamed for that - like I said, she was only 19 with limited education and had been brainwashed all her life that her purpose was to marry well. I agree with you about Lady Roche - she knew full well how badly Johnny Spencer treated Frances (not only was he a womaniser, he was violent to Frances as well; Diana recounted in the book "Diana: Her True Story" her memories of seeing her father strike her mother) and she did not give a damn. She was happy to throw her own daughter under the bus so as to keep up appearances. The sad thing is, Diana's other grandmother, Lady Fermoy, actually tried to talk Diana out of the marriage saying "What you have to realise, darling, is that they lead a lifestyle very different to everyone else, and quite frankly, I don't think it will suit you." If only Diana had listened to Granny Fermoy.
I wasn't there, I never knew these people personally, but my goodness, the knives are out for Charles, and not only is this crew skinning him alive, they are turning this total jerk into mincemeat! Rather breathtaking.
Because he'd spent his entire life not having any real love or approval from his family so tried to find it in the public, only to be completely outshined by the radiance that is Diana. I think it also might have been because Diana also outshined Camilla, who would never be loved by the public either. Still incredibly cruel and petty though.
Maybe it’s inconceivable to you because you weren’t forced and pressured into marrying someone you didn’t want to marry? The reality is that he didn’t marry Diana because he loved her and wanted her, he married her because everyone told him this is what his duty was. Maybe if he married a wife he wanted, we wouldn’t have had all this problem.
I’m glad at least somebody in the comments seems to understand it. Everyone keeps saying “If she did that for me, I would love it!” Well, Charles doesn’t love it. He’s a deeply private person when it comes to his feelings, and all he wanted was a quiet night at the opera where the focus would, for once, be on him and his birthday. Diana’s gift was neat and all, but if she had even the faintest idea of Charles as a person, or at least checked with someone on his staff beforehand, then she would have known it was the exact opposite to the kind of gift he would actually want. She said it herself later, she loves to perform. This was a gift to herself that just happened to be directed at him, really. Not unlike the book Charles gives her later, which is the inverse. They’re not only polar opposites but also utterly terrible at understanding each other.
Yes! This! NOT every husband would automatically love it. That's generalizing all men. Not all women love the same things. Why are men always expected to be perfect?
@@choosekindness613 I agree with you but I don't think he ever wanted to love her. He was still in love with Camilla, duchess of cornwall. He never intended to be faithful to Diana clearly, regardless of what she did.
I like how you put it. I dislike Charles for what he had put Diana through, but I completely understand that he can't just suddenly love Diana just because the public says so. Charles is terrible, yes, but the two of them reallu spoke two different languages. Charles needed a *consort* who's proper, obedient, and will keep quiet and prim beside him. Whereas Diana was not a consort, she was a delight to have, a beacon, a princess to people's heart. Charles needed a consort who supported him and expected to be silent about all his craps, a light that was not too bright that it'd outshine him. Diana needed a prince who would love her unconditionally and treated her like the princess she was. They both spoke different languages and wished a completely different thing.
Diana was, what us Americans call, a tall drink of water. What makes this better is that she actually did this in real life. Shame no footage of the real thing exists. Only pictures.
She was the real princess. He was just a nobody in front of her and that is the ultimate truth..The world loved her and hated this bloodseeking monster charles
I know what Charles and the Royal family did to her was unforgivable. But the fact remains that they should have never married in the first place. They were different like chalk and cheese. I remember a line from this season, delivered by Princess Anne, "he is 13 years older than her, so there is the age gap, but he acts older than he is and she acts younger than she is. It makes that an age chasm". One should watch that scene, it lays down the reasons quite correctly as to why this didn't work. Charles had a completely different upbringing, this kind of flamboyance is too childish and selfish in his eyes. He had been made to believe that there is no place for OTT show of emotions even inside the family, forget outside it. Add to that fact that he already knew someone who matched his wavelength, he was never ready to give Diana a chance or a benefit of doubt.
Sorry for my bad English - I'm an Italian girl who has been living in England only since the end of July. I've always been fascinated by the story of Princess Diana, but of course being a non-British person always kept me away from many details of her tragic life. I've started making some research about her in the last few weeks - lockdown...-, and I came to the conclusion that...it was neither Charles nor Diana's fault if things didn't work between them. As for Diana, I think that she was far too young even to understand what she was going to throw herself into. I remember myself at age 18 - now I'm 27 - and I was such a stupid brat who always made foolish decisions just because I didn't have enough maturity to understand how the world worked. I'm saying that I can imagine how she felt. You're 18, you've never had a boyfriend and you have no idea how a relationship works, and suddenly the Prince of Wales - I mean, not Joe whatchamacallit! - proposes to you. I can imagine she was under so much pressure and she thought she was living a fairytale that she simply couldn't realize what she was truly going to face until it was too late. I mean, many people wouldn't have the courage to call off a wedding even in "normal" life, who would ever be so ballsy to say "No, I don't want to marry you!" to the Prince of Wales just hours before the wedding itself? Especially if you're 19... Of course, one could argue that, being Charles so much older than her, he would have had to be the brave one and stand his ground when it came to marry Camilla, or at least refuse to marry Diana. But I think that after he saw his chances to marry Camilla fading away, he simply went on and did his duty as the future king - marry a woman whom the people would love and who could give him children - hoping that would work somehow. In the end, I think it was nobody's fault. He was a grown-up man who perhaps wasn't brave enough and found himself dealing with a bride who was too young and too far away from him; she was a lovely young girl who dreamed of happiness and she still hadn't the strenght to endure all the pain of the royal life. But I like to think that both of them tried their best to make the marriage work, at least for a while - but it was simply not meant to be. The fact that she died so young and so tragically did the rest.
I get what Princess Anne was saying and the point of her saying that, but I question the thought that Prince Charles older than he is. What the hell does this family know emotional maturity or some kind of aged wisdom?
Something I learned from my family: don't get married too young, don't get married too quickly, and don't get married to someone who seems way better/worse than you. I know this might not be 100% true, but it can help young people avoid about 80% of marriages that end with divorce
She sure was a stupid moron. Right then and there Chucky thought....I want to see her head go through a windshield! And it did....12 years later. Ooopsy daisy! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!
I always thought that was just one of many Diana myths, but it actually happened like that! FYI: The scene reminded me a bit of the "Dancing Queen" moment in Ghana from Season 2
SHE WENT THROUGH ALL THIS EFFORT JUST TO PLEASE HIM AND HE DIDNT APPRECIATE A SINGLE SECOND OF IT MR CHARLES IF I SEE YOU ITS ON SIGHT YOU DID NOT DESERVE HER

What strikes me the most is that Charles' father was known to be competitive, but he managed to be supportive to the queen.
Prince Phillip was a strong man but Charles is a weak boy.
when he wasn't cheating on her.
Philip had his bad times with the queen.. at one stage he was away doing his own thing for several months.. and he has always been busy with his own projects. He and the queen never lived in each other's pockets. Even in latter years, the queen didn't visit him in hosspital and he lived in Sandringham while she was in London....Charles and Diana lived together and the press wanted to see them as a couple all the time in the 80s so they never got a break from the tension they lived under.
@@glen7318 Charles es débil siempre quejándose de su infancia y su padre, creo yo que el Duque de Edimburgo al que sacaron de Grecia en una caja de 🍊 cuando era un bebé vivió toda su vida en el exilio su madre acabó en un manicomio su padre les abandono y su hermana favorita y sus sobrinos murieron en un accidente de avión sufrió más que Charles.
Philip was a royal and had a better understanding of how the crown worked.
Why did they never cut this girl some slack? She was in her early 20s and she liked to dance. Why would this be so contentious? Diana has a worldwide magnetic charisma that will never die out.
Because Royals were supposed to be reserved and almost dead. It was the values the Queen instilled in him if you watch it, being carefree and outgoing in values that Princess Margaret, Diana, and later Harry had been frowned upon as they were expected to be reserved, appropriate, and dutiful. Doing what you 'liked' didn't come into the Queen's vocab but rather doing what you were 'expected'. They didn't want the Royals to be seen as entertainers or footloose and fancy-free celebrities.
@@shanefolan Well, the prince was like a little kid when they installed conservative values into his head, I don't see anybody cutting him some slack at all.

Charles is the perfect bachelor, one that should never have got married....to anyone, least of all that poor girl. She deserved better. 19, what the hell did she know about men?
I think he should have just married Camilla in the first place. The problem was dragging a clueless 19 year old into this mess. Diana did deserve better
Not really he always loved Camilla... his entire life. I would say he is actually a very loyal person who was forced into a marriage he didn’t want. Sadly Diana was a causality.
We all agree that he should've just married Camilla from the very beginning instead of dragging this poor 19 yr old into the mess. But Charles didn't want to abdicate. He could've had Camilla, and pressured her to divorce her husband. Camilla on the other hand, could just get a divorce and defy her parents and be with Charles. But if these two did it then, he wouldn't be in line for Kingship. But it turned out, that rule could be thrown out lol, now he doesn't even have to abdicate to marry Camilla. I always feel, oh poor Diana.
@@tracys169 Charles grew up with his entire family hating his uncle Edward, who did abdicate. So I don’t think it was that simple.

That's because he didn't love her he only loved Camilla Parker Bowles.
Wonder how this would’ve played out if Camilla were the one dancing.
cause he didnt love her.
yet he still chose to marry her bcs of his indecisiveness
maybe that’s the reason why he chose to stick w god forbid i say this wretched name, camilla, not bcs of ‘love’ but bcs it always soothed his ego, being loved by a married woman who can serve as his emotional dumpster, and also why he despised diana so much bcs diana was... diana... and his masculinity couldn’t handle being upstaged.
This was a show and not deep love. Love has many languages and we must learn to speak the language of our partner if we want them to feel our love.
Charles wanted to be loved and approved by the public, and he was very insecure with Diana's natural ability to charm everyone. Even Diana revealed in interviews how jealous he was of her. Ironic that Charles and Camilla are hated because of what they did to Diana. If he only just loved her, the public wouldve loved him, too.
Yes!!!!
He can’t make himself love someone. What he did was trashy but not loving her wasnt his fault.
@@atree9284 True but does not excuse what an a-hole he was to her and his family
I agree but I think season 4 did a great job showing how camila was a much more perfect fit for him and how she understood him. It showed the family should of just let them get married in the first place. I think it also showed that not only how charles didn't understand Diana but how she didn't understand him. The age difference was too large and she was so isolated from the royal family was so sad to watch.
I think it's stupid that everyone loves Diana and hates Charles. They were both forced into the marriage. They both had affairs. One was just more private and didn't speak about it and the other did interviews to get sympathy.
They were just very different people with different personalities that clashed a bit.
Emma Corrin was terrific as Diana, I'm glad she won that Emmy and The Crown is the best series on Netflix. I'm really looking forward season 5
Princess Diana is truly wonderful, Charles did not deserve her
He also didn’t want her. That’s the point. It’s not about who deserves who. It’s about how about we just let people marry who they want to instead of dragging people into marriages where they won’t be happy.
@@CaptainPikeachu But they did. In the annals of history, Charles did love Diana. However, Diana won people over and Charles was jealous of that approval. He went to Camilla for comfort since they were in a relationship before Diana. Charles loved both women but chose Camilla over Diana.
Diana is not wondreful
@@vivianebeget stfu
The Queen was jealous of Diana too, If she wasn't she would of forced Charles to treat her better.
Charles in this series reminds me so much of my ex - I thought something was wrong with me and people disliked me. Turns out after he dumped me that I was well-liked by his friends and family and they talked highly about me. Jealous and couldn’t stand it. So glad I never married him. Poor Diana. She deserved so much better.

She deserved so much better.
Sometimes people shouldnt have gotten together; thats what this story reminds me of. It sucks how he treated her; but he knew all along who he was in love with.
That poor sweet woman and her children did not deserve the pain they have endured.
This series really helped put their humanity out for us all to see.

I read somewhere that this wasn't the actual night of his birthday, it was about a week before this show. He was very angry that the headlines the next day would be about her though.
Yes, and he cowardly was angry at her.

Josh played the role rlly well. Props to him for capturing every aspect of charles’s foolishness👏👏
I want to see the whole show about Diana dancing the uptown girl. I'm impressed with her dancing skills thought.
Does anyone recall if Princess Diana took dance lessons as a child? I thought that she had done so.
It would be better if he had not married......
But then we would have had William or Henry
@K90_ 2019Charles could have stayed single and ruled as an unmarried king. Next in line if he died would have been Prince Andrew. They didn't change the rules regarding male/female heirs until fairly recently. Anne is pretty far down the list. Her kids even more so.
He really should not have married Diana. It seems ridiculous to me that he couldn't just say no to marrying her and at least try and find someone he genuinely liked. His relationship with Camila is pathetic.
@K90_ 2019 Yes, the new generation of children is affected by the change. Anne, Charles and Andrew and Edward are not. Meaning if Charles never married or had children, next in line if he dies(old rules still apply) is Andrew. After Andrew would come his daughters. I urge you to look up current order of succession. Princess Anne seems more worthy than her brothers, I agree, but that is not how the system works. If Queen Elizabeth had a younger brother, she would not be queen.
@@Lizzyluvsu2 So? They've not exactly contributed anything
I think Charles is like this because he didn't receive the right attention and appreciation from his parents.
@@jellyfishi_ Yeah. That's something I would never understand. As an heir to the throne, even if I'm forced to marry someone I don't know, I'll do my best to actually fall in love with her and make it work because it is my duty. Diana was literally beautiful and charming, it wouldn't have been hard to do that if he actually wanted to do it. And even if he was still in love with Camilla and couldn't get over it, he and Diana could have come to an agreement of sorts and he could have kept Camilla as a mistress while still having a happy marriage to Diana. The same way Charles' ancestor King Edward VII kept Camilla's ancestor Alice Keppel as a mistress and confidante while still having a happy marriage to his wife Queen Alexandra, to the point that they were both at his bedside when he died. If this had happened in Charles and Diana's case, everyone would have been happy.
But I do agree that a lot of blame falls on his parents. Maybe subconsciously, he never wanted it to work and for that to be a kind of fuck you to his parents. And if his parents were his heroes, he would have been willing to do anything to make them proud. I don't really know how to explain it but you get my point right?
@@richierich7229 just because someone is beautfiful and charming does not make them lovable. He did fall a bit in love with Diana and he certainly tried at frist to make it work and so did she.. because they had to.,.. But it didn't work... She was young, immature and ill.. and charles gave up trying after a few years. She did too, and tried to find another man...
Season three made me like Charles and then season four despise him.
He could have one of the most powerful woman as Queen beside him, but instead he became jealous and insecure.

The actress portraying diana did really well. I saw her interviews and she looks quite boyish, but she pulled this off really well. Reminds me of rooney mara when she played lisbeth in the girl with the dragon tattoo.
They identify as being gender neutral
Okay but Emma is ADORABLE 🥺
People forget that Charles was a victim in a sense too. Elizabeth and Philip scrutinized nearly everything he did while he was growing up and emotionally, they were just never "there" for him like they should have been. It's not right, but I can understand WHY he was jealous of his wife. Seemingly everything Diana did, even if unintentional or done with little effort, was met with nothing but praise and adoration. She got positive attention from people quite easily, unlike Charles.
Emma Corrin's so beautiful, dancing as Princess Diana!

It is really sad that they were so unsuited to each other.
Thank you Netflix for this scene and well done to the crew for recreating it, Diana's best must be so happy that this was recreated for world to see and remember how much fun she was and her love for dancing.
Great scene
I have been reading through the comments and it frustrates me that people don't realize what the core problem of their failed marriages was.
From DAY 1 Camilla was a factor in their relationship (even before they were married). We know from diana's secret tapes made for Andrew Morton's book and the video tape she made with her voice coach the following:
1.) She was a guest of Andrew and Camila Parker Bowles during her engagement wherein which Camila was telling her what Charles likes and doesn't like and asking in and out if she likes hunting and horse riding etc.
She said she was too naive at the time to realize why Camila was asking her those questions.
2.) A short few days before the wedding, Diana discovered a bracelet Charles had designed and made for Camila with their nicknames Fred and Gladys engraved on it. I think imo this is when everything hit home for her.
She wanted to call off the wedding but her sisters persuaded her not to.
3.) She held out hope that things would change once they were married but she said that was slashed by day 2 of their honeymoon. She saw two pictures of Camila in his diary.
4.) Later on their honeymoon she saw him wear cufflinks with two Cs intertwined and realized Camila gave it him and he confirmed this when she confronted him.
This marriage was a sham from the beginning and the third person whom was only 19 years old was left in the dark about this fact and had find out the truth on her own. That is at the core of this whole mess.
I don't know Charles but he seems from the outside to have a good relationship with his kids BUT for this situation he and his now wife was absolutely rotten, for two people in their 30s to do this to a 19 year old girl is absolutely shameful.
Agreed that Charles and Camilla made Diana their scapegoat for their own anger and frustration at not being able to have a relationship out in the open. Poor 19 yr old virgin Diana....
@@flowerseva Unpopular opinion - Diana aimed to marry into the royals, or close to them. Hear me out. Diana had almost no education (she failed her O levels not once but twice, and came home from boarding school after only six weeks) no work history to speak of (a brief stint as a nanny and then a few months as a nursery school assistant) and no previous boyfriends. She was raised to do one thing and one thing only - marry a rich upper crust toff, pop out a few kids, and look good while doing it. Her sisters had already done exactly that. Diana just happened to land a husband that was a bit more upper crust than most. The sad thing is, I really believe she would have been happier if she'd just marrried an ordinary fella and lived a life as a country squire's wife. That was all she really wanted all along.

@MKL951
Finally, someone who knows the true score. Charles never loved or wanted
to be with Diana, in anyway.
Charles was truly in love, devoted, fascinated & satisfied with Camilla & had been years before he was instructed to marry Diana. It was an impending disaster.
@@theshillneckedlizard8364 Diana did not "aim," Lady Roche did. She and the late queen mother had picked out Diana for Andrew. This was hinted to her by her grandmother that she was destined to grandiose things, to marry into the royal family. Hence the nickname Duch short for duchess which she would have been if she had married Andrew. Charles was supposed to marry Mountbatten's granddaughter, but she refused. Then Sarah Spencer was chosen but they only saw each other a couple of times before they knew it would not work. Jane Spencer was already engaged to Lord Fellowes so she could not be the next choice. It was decided Diana was because it was more important Charles have heirs than Andrew; but Diana being only 16 they had to wait until she was 18. Then Diana was invited to a house party where Charles was to go on purpose for them to meet. Yes, Diana had met him before but at the time he was seeing Sarah. This time was a purposely arranged meeting to eventually become an arranged marriage. That Lady Roche was one nasty piece. She is the one that had married off Diana's mother at barely 18 to a man in his 30's then took that man's side, a serial cheater when her daughter decided to leave him for another man. In that old bitty's mind marriage was only for status not for love.
@@peachygal4153 Fair point, the idea may not have originally been Diana's, but she certainly went along with it. Not that she can really be blamed for that - like I said, she was only 19 with limited education and had been brainwashed all her life that her purpose was to marry well. I agree with you about Lady Roche - she knew full well how badly Johnny Spencer treated Frances (not only was he a womaniser, he was violent to Frances as well; Diana recounted in the book "Diana: Her True Story" her memories of seeing her father strike her mother) and she did not give a damn. She was happy to throw her own daughter under the bus so as to keep up appearances. The sad thing is, Diana's other grandmother, Lady Fermoy, actually tried to talk Diana out of the marriage saying "What you have to realise, darling, is that they lead a lifestyle very different to everyone else, and quite frankly, I don't think it will suit you." If only Diana had listened to Granny Fermoy.
Those barrow turns are flawless
Jeez, that silhouette of Diana from 1.03 to 1.09 is scarily accurate.
No matter how many years go by, Diana will be beautiful. Enough said.

Why? I never knew that dancing was a qualification fro being a queen. Diana would only be queen when Charles was king
Just the opposite. Queens don't make spectacles of themselves. This proved how ill suited she was.
He never thought that!
Emma Corrin's portrayal of Diana is so sweet, fresh, and fun :) I had a few scenes like this one with a grumpy, and inanimate, former spouse 😶
Her giggle is the most bubbly and adorable thing! Charles was such a bitter little man, poor Diana.
I wasn't there, I never knew these people personally, but my goodness, the knives are out for Charles, and not only is this crew skinning him alive, they are turning this total jerk into mincemeat! Rather breathtaking.
And it’s well deserved!
Such a telling scene. I don't think what ever Diana did would have pleased Charles.

She was the Queen we wanted and needed now when Queen Elizabeth died we get the one we deserve.
How could a man be so jealous of his wife? It's inconceivable to me..
Because he'd spent his entire life not having any real love or approval from his family so tried to find it in the public, only to be completely outshined by the radiance that is Diana. I think it also might have been because Diana also outshined Camilla, who would never be loved by the public either. Still incredibly cruel and petty though.
Maybe it’s inconceivable to you because you weren’t forced and pressured into marrying someone you didn’t want to marry? The reality is that he didn’t marry Diana because he loved her and wanted her, he married her because everyone told him this is what his duty was. Maybe if he married a wife he wanted, we wouldn’t have had all this problem.

Too bad, his grand uncle was taken out by IRA terrorists while he was fishing with his grand kids.

They don't have the same love language.
This is the most mature take on the whole situation, they were flat out wrong for each other, no one could force Charles to love someone he didn't
I’m glad at least somebody in the comments seems to understand it. Everyone keeps saying “If she did that for me, I would love it!” Well, Charles doesn’t love it. He’s a deeply private person when it comes to his feelings, and all he wanted was a quiet night at the opera where the focus would, for once, be on him and his birthday.
Diana’s gift was neat and all, but if she had even the faintest idea of Charles as a person, or at least checked with someone on his staff beforehand, then she would have known it was the exact opposite to the kind of gift he would actually want. She said it herself later, she loves to perform. This was a gift to herself that just happened to be directed at him, really. Not unlike the book Charles gives her later, which is the inverse. They’re not only polar opposites but also utterly terrible at understanding each other.
Yes! This! NOT every husband would automatically love it. That's generalizing all men. Not all women love the same things. Why are men always expected to be perfect?
@@choosekindness613 I agree with you but I don't think he ever wanted to love her. He was still in love with Camilla, duchess of cornwall. He never intended to be faithful to Diana clearly, regardless of what she did.
I like how you put it. I dislike Charles for what he had put Diana through, but I completely understand that he can't just suddenly love Diana just because the public says so. Charles is terrible, yes, but the two of them reallu spoke two different languages. Charles needed a *consort* who's proper, obedient, and will keep quiet and prim beside him. Whereas Diana was not a consort, she was a delight to have, a beacon, a princess to people's heart.
Charles needed a consort who supported him and expected to be silent about all his craps, a light that was not too bright that it'd outshine him. Diana needed a prince who would love her unconditionally and treated her like the princess she was. They both spoke different languages and wished a completely different thing.
El la envidiaba tanto.
Even Prince Philip asked Queen Elizabeth why she'd never done this for him... Goes to show someone would've appreciated it

Think I watch this episode is so had been repeatedly playing in my head back to back to back 😭😭😭😭
How could Charles *not* love her?
I'm here because I love Billy Joel. He posted that and now I love princess Diana ♡
I know what Charles and the Royal family did to her was unforgivable. But the fact remains that they should have never married in the first place. They were different like chalk and cheese. I remember a line from this season, delivered by Princess Anne, "he is 13 years older than her, so there is the age gap, but he acts older than he is and she acts younger than she is. It makes that an age chasm". One should watch that scene, it lays down the reasons quite correctly as to why this didn't work. Charles had a completely different upbringing, this kind of flamboyance is too childish and selfish in his eyes. He had been made to believe that there is no place for OTT show of emotions even inside the family, forget outside it. Add to that fact that he already knew someone who matched his wavelength, he was never ready to give Diana a chance or a benefit of doubt.
Sorry for my bad English - I'm an Italian girl who has been living in England only since the end of July. I've always been fascinated by the story of Princess Diana, but of course being a non-British person always kept me away from many details of her tragic life.
I've started making some research about her in the last few weeks - lockdown...-, and I came to the conclusion that...it was neither Charles nor Diana's fault if things didn't work between them.
As for Diana, I think that she was far too young even to understand what she was going to throw herself into. I remember myself at age 18 - now I'm 27 - and I was such a stupid brat who always made foolish decisions just because I didn't have enough maturity to understand how the world worked.
I'm saying that I can imagine how she felt. You're 18, you've never had a boyfriend and you have no idea how a relationship works, and suddenly the Prince of Wales - I mean, not Joe whatchamacallit! - proposes to you. I can imagine she was under so much pressure and she thought she was living a fairytale that she simply couldn't realize what she was truly going to face until it was too late.
I mean, many people wouldn't have the courage to call off a wedding even in "normal" life, who would ever be so ballsy to say "No, I don't want to marry you!" to the Prince of Wales just hours before the wedding itself? Especially if you're 19...
Of course, one could argue that, being Charles so much older than her, he would have had to be the brave one and stand his ground when it came to marry Camilla, or at least refuse to marry Diana. But I think that after he saw his chances to marry Camilla fading away, he simply went on and did his duty as the future king - marry a woman whom the people would love and who could give him children - hoping that would work somehow.
In the end, I think it was nobody's fault. He was a grown-up man who perhaps wasn't brave enough and found himself dealing with a bride who was too young and too far away from him; she was a lovely young girl who dreamed of happiness and she still hadn't the strenght to endure all the pain of the royal life.
But I like to think that both of them tried their best to make the marriage work, at least for a while - but it was simply not meant to be.
The fact that she died so young and so tragically did the rest.
@@beauty9903 I think the same as you
I get what Princess Anne was saying and the point of her saying that, but I question the thought that Prince Charles older than he is. What the hell does this family know emotional maturity or some kind of aged wisdom?
Something I learned from my family: don't get married too young, don't get married too quickly, and don't get married to someone who seems way better/worse than you. I know this might not be 100% true, but it can help young people avoid about 80% of marriages that end with divorce
But Di was in love with Charles. Would you blame her? If she only knew what kind of family she will be dealing with plus the adultery
she was everything
