Where’s Sarah F in all of this? I had the impression her and Diana were close.

And that James guy and Diana?

They portray as an isolate. Disappointing.

I thought Sickboy from Trainspotting as John Major and Dom West's son as William were strong support actors.

Catching up now. How was the phallic imagery during Lady Di’s date with Hasnat Khan?!

Boy this season was boring



the only good episode was the one based around the Romanovs.

the show is simply too close to the modern day Now. All the interesting historical events that made the show is gone.

the drama between the royals relationships is so boring and always has been.

Had to agree, also think it was way to Charles and Diana focused. Kind of wish they'd knocked that out in one season, rather than dragging it over two.

Realistically though, it's what the public wants...we all love our Charles/Diana/Camilla triangle.

The problem is that it naturally takes the focus off potentially good stories that may have been forgotten. A good example I use is the Aberfan disaster which was a great episode about what the Queen thought was the right thing to do but in the end completely misjudged public opinion, but in the course of the Queen's reign is barely a blip.

Maybe they could have had more of an exploration into Princess Anne's divorce and remarrying of a 'commoner', for example.
