Am I the only one who saw a mouse walking through the room of Queen Mum in the first minutes of the episode?
Emma Corrin is quite striking as Lady Di. Her face exudes what pain she is feeling. Charles has known all along that he is never going to be happy in a life chosen for him. Poor Diana is a real victim here. After the glow of fame leaves her, she is miserable. Her position is no fun.. Charles is rude and doesn't even try to give her a little affection. She is marrying the family, not him. Her lunch with Camilla is one of the most uncomfortable moments I've seen on film. The whole thing is sad as we've seen the Prince of Wales being driven into the ground by his own family. I wonder how he has managed as long as he has without going nuts.
I realize this is only a show, but this episode can't help but make you feel for Diana. She was used and abused for the sake of the monarchy having a pretty face to show off to the world. Great acting and a heartbreakingly good storyline.
It's news to me that in the 80's there were melodies available for ringtones!
Emma Corrin absolutely killed it this episode. She was so desperate for the love of prince Charles and everything happened too quick for her. She gave Diana so much depth. Amazing episode.
