I’ve often wondered how much of what we were fed through the media regarding Diana and Charles was actually true or not but this must be awful for the boys to watch. I know they have a choice whether to watch or not but I’m not sure I could ignore a drama about my family.
I’ll be honest, I kind of assumed the affairs were just unkind speculation but this certainly wasn’t the case in the dramatisation! That must be hard for them to see or even have brought up again. I liked Olivia Colman’s portrayal much more this series and Gillian Anderson must have had a really sore throat after all that! 😆 |

I really liked Diana but she was a poor match for Charles and the royal family who seemed to be pretty cold when it came to showing affection or care. Diana wore her heart on her sleeve which endeared her to the public on the whole who felt close to her compared to the rest of the Royal family. I love her for her caring especially for people with Aids and I feel she certainly helped put away a lot of the ignorance about it. Things may have been happier if Charles had married Camilla first however the 'Diana era' did bring a lot of change and we got William and Harry who are both very much like their Mother in their care and compassion.

Well we stuck to our 1 episode a night to make it last longer and so now we’ve finished.
I felt sad a lot of the time watching this, Charles and Diana is an awful story, because we know how it ends and I think it made it quite hard viewing. I do think he was made out to be a villain, rightly or wrongly we will never know. I did have a few cries. I’ve got nothing really to compare MT too, so I think she played the role well. Olivia Coleman and Helena Bonham Carter I loved. HBC was a brilliantly casting for Margaret for me. Gutted it’s such a long wait for 5! I hope I like Imelda, I loved Claire and really liked Olivia, but on a personal level I’m not an Imelda fan, so I hope I warm to her. I will probably rewatch them all.

Ironically growing up where she did and from old Grantham photos she was used to Hunter wellies, Barbour jackets and head squares so she would have known how to dress (that was a huge American slip up) together with tipping staff at Balmoral - her Grandmother was housekeeper at Belton House (and there lies another tale about who fathered her mother but thats another thread and she may well have royal blood in her as she knew (Lord Brownlow leant her Belton silver when she became Prime Minster as No 10 didnt have anything “suitable”) and there is no way Dennis would have offered a tip to servants - again that was for the American audience I am sure
