Instead of leveraging off the popular Princess, Charles becomes jealous. Just how stupid can one be? A cesspool off missed opportunities. He wasn't born like this, it was learned behaviour and the season eludes to this sorry mess.
Possibly the weakest episode of the season and blatantly less inspiring because after all, infidelity is just so common these days and we don't expect it of future Monarchs that are meant to be anointed and above it. A lifetime of preparation is still not enough to beat human nature and that's what we find out here. In the rest of the commonwealth you would wonder how anecdotes like this brought to the screen hasn't spurred new republics. Many are hearing these facts for the first time, those outside England didn't really care to know unless one was a royal watcher.
The photography is again stunning.
The set pieces have so much care and effort, this production is a pure joy. Those working on these sets are extraordinarily fortunate.
Princess Dianne has a character arc that moves far too quickly here. How much more can we hate Prince Charles? The plot has advanced nicely otherwise through at least one sides emotional betrayal.
So happy that the uptown girl sequence is true to life. I hope that the series continues with true to life writing, God knows there is enough interesting things in the royals life not to have to fabricate much.
In order to shift this story from biopic to art it would be nice to dwell on the human fall-out of marriage breakdowns with a crescendo of drama.
