Rewatching Favourite Scenes:-

The Crown 5x07: Princess Diana's Sneaky Date Night

The Crown is rightly praised for re-creating epic royal events. But sometimes the playful, down-to-earth moments in the show give us just as much insight into life inside the confines of palace walls – and how good it might feel to escape them.

So did the real Princess Diana cut loose and mingle with ordinary people? We may never know for sure, but according to a friend, she had done it before. Stewart Pearce, also a royal biographer, shared that the Princess did sneak out of Kensington Palace in disguise to meet him at the movies, and no-one suspected it was her.

Dr Hasnat Khan, Diana's former boyfriend, has hardly spoken publicly about their two year relationship, but provided further detail during a 2004 inquest into Diana's tragic death. Dr Khan told police that before their break up the couple enjoyed doing 'everyday things' together. Their dates included visiting a jazz club and a pub:-

"Diana asked if she could order the drinks because she had never done so before. She really enjoyed the experience and chatted away happily to the barman."

The Crown will continue Princess Diana's story in its final season, with the first four episodes exploring events surrounding her death and the shock which followed.

[looking-for-orion]

Y'all remember that scene at Kensington where Henry plays the piano for Alex? (Of course you do) When he plays Your Song? (Again, of course you do)

I have a lot of *feelings* about that. Especially when I dwell on the fact that it was Henry basically confessing his love to Alex without a single word. Even though he thought he would "just never say it" he still found a way to secretly tell him, if only for his own sake, like he couldn't hold all that love inside himself anymore and had to let it out in whatever way he knew how.

He found the boy who made those song lyrics come true for him. And obviously that became their song later. But for some reason I never even paid attention to the very first song he played: "When You Were Young" by The Killers.

This man has a thing for unspoken love confessions or sm because these lyrics just–

"You sit there in your heartache

Waiting on some beautiful boy to

To save you from your old ways

You play forgiveness

Watch it now, here he comes

He doesn't look a thing like Jesus

But he talks like a gentlemen

Like you imagined when you were young"

I HAVE BEEN UNWELL OVER THIS FOR HOURS NOW

And even though it fits the whole thing pretty well—Henry getting to be with his dream guy and long time crush, here to save him from his broken heart and evil family members and all that jazz— I can't help but think about the freaking line from the V&A:

“When I was younger,” Henry says, “I had this very elaborate idea of taking somebody I loved here and standing inside the chapel, that he’d love it as much as I did, and we’d slow dance right in front of the Blessed Mother. Just a… daft pubescent fantasy.”

And the email:

"Thank you from the bottom of my heart for having saved me. I was drowning and you threw yourself into the water without hesitation, without a backward look."

He found his knight in shining armor, his perfect match, a man who made him feel safe and HAPPY

SHUT UP AND DON'T TALK TO ME I'M ILL

[alldancersaretalented]

Random dances I want to see that likely won't happen:

(Warning: I find sister duets adorable

Gracyn French (Project 21) and Kensington Dressing (Evolve): Lyrical Duet

Ellary Day Szyndlar (Club) and Lilly Anderson (Larkin): A sad musical theatre song, with a lot of technical elements.

Lilly and Hallee Anderson (both Larkin): Contemporary Duet

Belle Arauz (Dance Town) and Cami Giraldo (Stars): Lyrical Duet

Tegan Chou (WDP) and Esme Chou (Project 21): Jazz Duet

Savannah and Scarlett Manzel (both Larkin): Musical Theatre/ Jazz Duet

Cami Vorhees (Evolve), Gracyn French (Project 21), and Sophie Garcia (Stars): Some sort of jazz/ fast moving trio (trying to escape Victor's beep boop "music")

Mariandrea Villegas (Epic Motion) and Kendyl Fay (Project 21): hard hitting jazz duet

Izzy Howard (WDP), Kennedy Kahler (Elite Classical) and Crystal Huang (The Rock): Musical Theatre Trio (I wish they competed "Get happy" more than once *sob*)

Crystal Huang (The Rock) and Izzy Howard (WDP): Ballet Duet - HOW DID THEY NOT HAVE A DUET TOGETHER AAARGH

Shannon Mather (Mather) and Molly Long (Project 21): Musical Theatre to "I can do anything better than you" (Choreography by Jazelle Torres and Nicole Smith, to make it fair)

All TDA Winners this year should have self choreographed duets with one another

A Shannon Mather Group dance at Project 21 (while Molly is on vacation?). Honestly, I could see the teens and seniors KILL IT. Dancers could be: Maya, Rylee, Anya, Gracyn, Stella, Couch Sisters, Kendyl, Sammi...

A Contemporay small group with Ellary Day Szyndlar (Club), Lilly Anderson (Larkin), Kensington Dressing (Evolve), Belle Marie Arauz (Dance Town), Ruby Taylor (CSPAS), Stella Brinkerhoff (CSPAS) and Lucia Piedrahita

Elliana Walmsley making a comeback as a senior into the competition world and winning everything

here is my london tips note:

London

Camden Market: takes a bit to get there (on northern like most likely if you are in central) about an hour: would def be a tad activity, theres lots of shops and markets and food stands decent prices too 

Soho: tourist trap city but super fun and always crowded has all the chain stores and such and china town is there I tried a few different Chinese places all were super good 

Carnaby Street: In soho main attraction with all the shops and restaurants and bars

Shoreditch: cute area new and up and coming

Spitalfields market: in shoreditch, super cute market closes early though usually around 5pm, has cute vendor shops and lots of fun food vendors and has cute shops around it as well (humble crumble had amazing desserts and dumpling shack had the best dumplings I ever had)

Brick Lane: lots of Indian and other asian cuisine foods and great bakeries, on the weekend it turns into an outdoor market with lots of vintage shops and food vendors

Notting Hill/Portobello road: super cute also takes a bit to get here, def recommend going on the weekend especially for portobello market its only open Saturdays and Sundays: streets of vendors and markets and street food, the cute pastel colored houses are all over for good insta pics

Hyde park: huge and cute for picnics but you dont need to go here any park will do tbh

London Eye: super cool it was $33 when I went, waited in line for about 45 mins and then you’re on for 30 mins if you have time its cool but not a need

Westminster Abbey/Parliament square/Big Ben: same area you will probably wanna go here just for the walking tour its cool to see and take pictures but its basically like a time square lots of tourists just walking around taking pictures *strawberry tours: free walking tours of west end landmarks to see all of them ^^^ 

Also recommend the Jack the Ripper tour they do if you are into true crime/horror*

Trafalgar Square/Picadilly Circus: very close together you can walk from one to the other, also kind of like a time square full of tourists taking pictures 

Regent Street: right next to picadilly circus more up scale shopping and fancier stores has a super good Zara though

Ronnie Scotts: jazz club open till like 6am in soho

Hampstead Heath: so beautiful but VERY muddy wear rainboots or shoes you dont mind getting filthy if you’re gonna walk around

Covent Garden: cute market with mostly chain stores, theres a shake shack in there which I frequented often lol and has lots of cute areas surrounding it

Oxford Street: lots and lots of shopping huge primark there which I did most of my shopping

Baker Street/Bond Street: more shopping not a necessity to go to

Harrods: super cool to see but also a tourist trap but the food market is insane so if you’re gonna go anywhere in there I would just go to that 

Selfridges: a smaller harrods but also not as fancy and expensive 

Kensington: such a fun and cute area lots of cute cafes and cute shopping areas and has the classic looking houses like in the parent trap 

Chelsea: next to Kensington super cute and fancy nothing really to do though

Primrose Hill: suer fancy are has the huge park and hill where you can see the London skyline amazingly (hill is a bitch to walk up but view is worth it imo) the pics of harry in that weird body suit with organs were there lmfao and also Eleanor is always walking her dog there lmfao

Borough Market: on the Southside of the river (across from central London) but super cool food vendors open mainly during the week till 5pm

Oxford Circus: huge strip of stores, restaurants etc similar to id say 5th ave in nyc but way more cool

Liberty London: kind of like a fancy Macys but has way cuter stuff and stores

Farm girl: theres one in notting hill and one in soho I went to the notting hill one, amazing breakfast but you need to make a reservation in advanced if you wanna go

Victoria & Albert Museum: free and has the harry cardigan (also Harris reed exhibit but that was $25)

Salisbury’s: great for cheap food if you end up cooking and meal deals, also super cheap bakery items, I would get a croissant every morning for 95 cents

Boots: super cheap food like a 7/11 and meal deals

Pret A Manger: sign up for 1 free month trial to get up to 5 free barista made drinks a day

Boots: convince store and pharmacy all in one like a CVS 

Simmons: great chain bar with cheap drinks and fun vibes

Weatherspoons: basically an Applebee’s with cheap drinks and food

Gails Bakery: good bakery items and lunch food 

The Ivy: theres multiple locations but great for a splurge dinner one night, soho or covent garden ones look most fun, we did covent garden one

Sketch: the infamous pink room tea place but they just changed the pink room smh but it has other cool rooms if you want to splurge one day and do tea and brunch and of course the iconic instagramable bathroom is there too

Ole & Steen: chain, good cafe and coffee shop for a quick lunch

Kanada-Ya: good ramen place 

Eataly London: multiple restaurants and wine bars
