cruel or kind to the people's princess number 10 singing in the car we see her sing while driving a few times early on she sings happily having just accepted the now King Charles III's wedding proposal where does she live um in Earl's Court but later on after the world's marriage had begun to fully break down she seen still trying to tap into her sense of fun with her two sons princess William and Harry sing along the back seat of the car with her to Crazy Little Thing Called Love though Prince William himself has said that his mother's favorite song to sing was simply the best [Music] everybody [Music] interestingly neither of the princes are wearing seat belts that's because they weren't legally required to be worn in the back seat until 1991. number nine trying to call off the wedding yes ma'am I need to speak to the queen I need to speak to her the episode fairy tale goes from the Happy Days of Charles's proposal through to their 1981 wedding at the end but a lot happens during that time Diana first discovers that Charles's heart truly belongs to Camilla Parker Bowles she's left lonely and isolated in Buckingham Palace and eventually she tries to cancel the entire wedding it is absolutely essential that I see the queen this wedding can't go ahead it would be a disaster for everyone the queen won't give her the time of day to air her Grievances and a quiet argument between Charles and Diana in Saint Paul's Cathedral leads to Princess Margaret also trying to get the wedding called off Charles loves someone else how many times can this family make the same mistake though this is a bleak moment it goes to show that even then Diana was trying to advocate for herself though she went to ignored everything right in gloucestershire no idea was well there must have been something very important for you to go straight there from the airport number eight going against Bashir in 1995 the BBC aired a bombshell interview with the princess of Wells on Panorama my brother called me is a little concerned what about you it later came out that the journalist involved Martin Bashir had attained the interview through fraud in series 5 of the crown the audience sees all this play out in painstaking detail Bashir presents his forged bank statements and repeatedly gaslights Diana into believing everybody except him is spying on her for the intelligence services including her trusted brother he said he made notes in your first meeting which didn't tell you were the notes he took in the second the first you said MI5 were watching me and then the second you said am I six actually I think it could be both but the crown did show us Diana trying to unravel bashir's lies only to be to be no these are serious people that kind of change of heart is just too irrational the already knew that this interview wasn't Diana's fault but now we see her exonerated once more number seven the Stag his Royal Highness the Jacob has requested you accompany him stocking this morning how strict are these so-called bowel moral test is depends on which person you ask some historians will say it's a strict unspoken challenge While others will say the crown was closer to fiction this time around great excitement ripping the household oh yes the Stag it's all anyone could talk about at dinner last night Diana certainly did visit the raw family at Balmoral early in her courtship with Prince Charles however and her second time in Scotland did make her an appealing future wife for the future king and while in real life she did not go hunting with the Duke of Edinburgh this moment in the show serves to blatantly tell us that Diana does despite everything fit in with the Royals and wins Prince Philip's approval they have done anything no I did nothing the responsive not me but you shot him sir number six A Midsummer Night's Dream before settling on Diana Prince Charles was seeing her older sister Sarah sorry I'm not here I was given strict instructions to remain out of sight Sarah was only seven years younger than Charles as opposed to the almost 13-year age gap between him and Diana so initially seemed a more natural fit you're a highness but it was through her that he was eventually introduced to Diana herself when she was only 16. we see this play out when he goes to visit Sarah and finds himself Charmed by Diana in a costume as a fairy from A Midsummer Night's Dream for a school performance it's a complete disaster we're doing A Midsummer Night's Dream at school I love Midsummer Night's Dream Charles in real life is a huge fan of Shakespeare and was even once president of the RSC and they bond over their enjoyment of The Bard I wouldn't say a thing thank you sir number five Uptown Girl to someone who doesn't know their pop culture this entire scene must have seemed awfully bizarre at first but yes Princess Diana really did dance to Uptown girl at a Gala for Charles's 37th birthday thank you it was her birthday gift to him and a way for her yet again to explore her love of dance and theater she joined professional dancer Wayne Sleek who really was shorter than the princess as she stood at 5 10 on stage the press and everyone in attendance loved this except it seemed for the Prince of Wales himself and now more people than ever can enjoy it as it was meticulously recreated for Netflix number four a candid conversation it was so much could have done differently Second Time Around nearly all of the crowns Series 5 is focused on the ailing marriage of the wellses and finally at the end we see their divorce agreed upon terms of which were negotiated by prime minister John Major on screen though likely not in real life because he was so withdrawn you're so shy I thought company might help yes but it was always company for you but after the dust has mostly settled Charles arrives at Kensington Palace to visit his ex-wife in the show they share a Frank and open conversation about their marriage how it happened its ups and downs and both acknowledged that it was doomed from the beginning I'm sorry too for all of it there's so much pressure on us both it was a relief to see them finally have a conversation though it was still clear that their marriage never stood a chance number three defending Prince William shortly after the birth of Prince William The Prince and Princess of Wales headed off on an arduous long tour of Australia and New Zealand and she was insisting on taking the baby with them on the tour what for as a stabilizing influence though the queen didn't see any issue with leaving young children at home to be taken care of by nannies it's not what Diana wants and she adamantly defends her right to be a present mother for Prince William I always made it perfectly clear no baby no me and everyone accepted that and as I understand it's worked very hard to change plans that were set in stone she argues confidently against Charles's somewhat cold private secretary who doesn't see why she doesn't want to leave William alone for long my point is that this child is not just beautiful this child is perfect in every single way so why should you expect me as his mother to be without one second let alone two weeks Diana's care for her two sons and direct involvement in their lives in contrast to the older generation of Royals remains an enduring part of her Legacy number two roller skating this scene was shown throughout the promotional materials for the Crown's fourth season emblematic of how young different and modern Diana Spencer was when she entered the Royal Family foreign appropriate roller skates and go gliding through the Gilded Halls of Buckingham Palace listening to Duran Duran on a cassette player [Music] her people are divided on what the truth is people behind the crown have said it's definitely true Emma Corrine said they like to believe it's true While others say it's much too far-fetched and there's little evidence [Music] foreign we do know that Princess Diana liked having fun though number one visiting New York [Music] [Applause] Above All Else the Princess of Wales is best remembered for her contribution to charity work this wasn't her priority when she started out but she did eventually come to charity as a real way to use her privilege to do some good in the world we see her find her feet with charity work at the end of series 4 as she embarks on a solo trip to New York a modest Hospital on the wrong side of Harlem very few American politicians have ever even thought to visit but today this is the final stop of Princess Diana's Whirlwind tour of New York famously Diana helped to remove some of the stigma around AIDS victims by allowing herself to be photographed hugging and shaking hands with them [Music] thank you this we see beautifully recreated in the crown and very true to life Diana reshaped the royal family through her many patronages do you agree with our pigs check out this other
