Interesting to see the parallels illustrated: Charles vs Diana post-divorce; Diana vs Camilla in the press; Diana vs Dodi and their fathers; Diana with the kids vs Charles (“I’ll just dump them with the nanny”, which is absolutely not accurate: the Emir of Qatar was coming to see the Queen, as Head of State, not Charles. So many liberties taken about the 50th birthday party: the press are not “invited” to these things, Charles did not make a speech, and Margaret was not there. And the scenes of Charles trying to manage Camilla’s “relaunch” in the public eye are ridiculous. Finally, why is the Queen again given such a dour portrayal? Overall, a decent episode, very well directed.
Oh my goodness, why spend practically all of last season setting up the Al Fayeds and the summer of 97... and now we spend an entire episode on a yacht? And the next one presumably on setting up Paris, the third one on July 31... and the fourth then on material Morgan already dealt with in "The Queen"? Sorry, but this is yellow press milking the cash cow. This is no longer a show which takes crucial moments, but one that's salivating over one scandal and elaborating on it ad nauseam. What new material did this episode show? We still have whiny Charles, we have a queen that puts her dog above her son... and we have doe-eyed Diana with the variation of critical William on the side. Please, get this over with.
Waited a long time for the start of the last season.
Felt a bit slow
Being the Gen Z, I thought Diana was gonna date Mohamed istead of Dodi lol.
Very boring, nothing more to say.
Wow. Charles' speech nearly brought tears to my eyes. So beautifully written and so sweet. :cry:

Great season premiere episode. The acting is again superb and Diana‘s demise is beginning to take shape which is of course very sad. Still very good and entertaining episode.
