DIANA, PRINCESS OF WALES in THE CROWN 6.01, "Persona Non Grata"

[thecrownnetflixuk]

If you went looking for Elizabeth Windsor, you wouldn’t find her. She’s gone, long gone.

There was no comment from Kensington Palace, but the Princess of Wales upstaged her husband by attending the Serpentine Gallery's annual summer party this evening, putting on a defiant display in what many are already calling her "Revenge Dress".

I am delighted to join you in Clydebank today for the launch of this, the latest royal yacht. I hope that this brand-new vessel, like your brand-new queen, will prove to be dependable and constant. Capable of weathering any storm. I now take great pride in naming this ship "Britannia." I wish success to her. And to all who sail in her.  ♚

‘In the manner of a Hallmark movie, Diana is marked for death at every turn – you know, just in case you are unaware of the fate of the most famous woman in the world and have forgotten the frenzy of grief that gripped the country thereafter. She is, in The Crown’s telling of it, a virtual saint: see her talk about landmines! See her play normal middle-class games with her beloved boys! See her fall in love with sweet Dodi Fayed! See her furrowed brow as she takes the sensible advice of her therapist on board and pledges to start a new life as soon as she gets home from Paris and away from these villainous paparazzi who are following her into this tunnel! And thus the postmortem convulsions of an entire country are presented as no more than her due. By the time she has called William and Harry, the point has been so laboured that this is the last communication they will have with their mother that there might as well be a news ticker along the bottom of the screen screaming in capitals “TUNNEL COMING! SHE GONNA DIE SO BAD!”

And yet the worst is still to come: after her death, Ghost Diana appears to Prince Charles and then to the Queen as a kind of ministering angel, illuminating for them the way and the light and the best way of tending to the mood of the people, to whose every individual heart she has always had a direct hotline. She thanks Charles “for being so raw, broken and handsome” in the hospital when he saw her body. “I’ll take that with me,” she adds. My notes at this point are indecipherable, which is just as well, as I suspect what they say would be unprintable. By the time Ghost Diana takes the Queen’s hand and gently whispers “You’ve always shown us what it meant to be British. Maybe it’s time to learn, too”, and prompts her to cave in to the headline’s demand to “Show us you care, Ma’am”, I am having quite the out-of-body experience myself.

the crown being so wildly inaccurate yet so massively boring and safe needs to be studied in a crash course on how to fumble the bag to be honest and Season 6 only makes it more and more obvious

if you are going to be inaccurate with Diana at LEAST give me the Fergie/Diana friendship. Who gives a shit about an apology from beyond the grave with Charles of all people when you could have had a season and a half of Fergie being left out in the cold and to fend for herself because she was used as a massive scale trial run for Diana's Big Exit? If you have to create fake phonecalls at least give me Fergie sobbing on the phone because holier-than-thou Di isn't lifting a finger to help her. Who gives a crap about Kate making a cameo when Eugénie and Béatrice witnessed their mother be sacrificed and then had to reconcile those feelings with William and Harry losing theirs in such a tragic way

you can be inaccurate but not with stuff we've seen and heard and read a million times before and you are not allowed to be boring

Elizabeth Debicki as Princess Diana in The Crown Season 5 

Debicki says she is "so fortunate to have this huge time span of years in which to play the character. It's my hope that people feel that there's an enormous evolution in her as the season progresses. For me, it's a journey into a human finding a part of themselves that is profoundly strong — there's a piece that has survived so much and can flourish." Entertainment Weekly  ♚

I'm seeing so many posts saying that season 5 is trying to make Charles look good and it's basically Charles propaganda and I'm like...how? I fucking hated him ten times more after the first 10 minutes of the show. He acts like God's gift to the world all the time, acting like he's basically the king already, thinks he knows everything and is so self-important and pretentious, he keeps on treating Diana like shit, and when he's with Camila they're both looking down on the rest of the world like they're better than everybody. That scene when he talks to Blair on Britania, and later Blair tells his wife about it and he has this "trying to be polite but I'm utterly amused by this pathetic fool" expression on his face because he sees right through him? That was me the whole season except I was openly annoyed with him and wanted to punch him.

can’t believe the crown just fully dramatised the assassination of the romanovs for literally no reason and expect me to be okay with it

[stupidadultfangirl]

IDC if this actually happened or not, Diana watching the Monarchy The Nation Decides debate and calling the NO MONARCHY number multiple times throughout the program was the best part of this whole season

So Netflix really said: y'all we know that cheating is bad and stuff, but look! Charles is doing charity work! And isn't it lovely how he and his mistress talk to each other like a pair of horny teenagers?
