Prince Charles' Fantasy | The Crown

~~~
" I'm not just a symbol. I can lead not just by wearing a uniform or by cutting a ribbon but by showing people who I am "

The Crown season 4 was of complete beauty and I was mesmerized by Emma Corrin's Princess Diana.
I wanted to explore Prince Charles character first and foremost because Josh O'Connor's performance is one of my absolute favorite from the show.
It is important to state that I made this video in the hopes to show how Charles grew from being a quiet, sympathetic young royal into a self-centered, insecure nightmare of a person. I especially wanted to show why (him being unheard most of his life) it all lead to him directing fury at his wife, Diana who became one of the most famous person in the world and deserved nothing but love from her family in law.

I hope you enjoy this video and see what I wanted to show. Thank you for watching !

I think the Crown did him justice. The great thing about this series is that the show creator had laid the groundwork of building up this character in seasons 2 and 3. A timid and ignored child who grew older to become just as timid and ignored, but also in other ways, as well. To seek comfort and strength, he’d found love with Camilla, but this source of joy was stripped from him, too.

In Season 4, he truly becomes monstrous and emotionally abusive. But with the background of the foundational layers set in Season 3, he is, overall, a deeply complex and flawed character. A bit pathetic. But also to be deeply sympathized with.

Step by step he became a villain in the fairy tale without even realising that

[chanaberlove]

I am just glad that his sons have picked women who they wanted, not who was "most suitable".

[KendraHayes]

he’s my favorite character because I think his storyline is so interesting. Even though I hate him for what he did to Diana, I just think Josh O’Connor played Prince Charles amazingly.

Hurt people hurt other people.

Charles hurt Diana because he never received the love, understanding or freedom he needed - which doesn't make it right, but it's a connection we can understand. Brilliantly shown.

They were all fantastic but Josh O’Connor has been the biggest revelation of the past two seasons for me personally. His acting is superb and I can’t wait to see what else he does.
Great video!

4:17 I loved her delivery of “Not the woman you married!” It’s so raw and I think it shows how Diana is grasping at straws hoping that they can make the marriage work

I am so glad that some people are seeing a human being in him.

Prince Charles wishes he looked like that

I do think Prince Charles felt as an outcast in the royal family like Diana, he wasn’t taken seriously and listened to due to his particular personality and sensibility.
His father arranged him with a 19 years old girl even if he wasn’t sure she was the right choice and was deeply in love with someone else that his parents didn’t like.
But then when finally he married and gained some attention as the future King, everyone was interested about Diana, an icon, and not him.

I’m not justifying his behavior but I do think he struggled too and this was one of the few things he had in common with Diana.

[slyfer]

Seriously mindblowing video! You master everything in this.

[TVOCD]

For a man that demanded kindness he never gave any to Diana in the show

[WORLDNSHKNIGHT]

The genius of the Crown is that no single character is one dimensional - we can sympathise with all of them whilst also recognizing their flaws as people

[batnerd]

Amazing as always. Really showed Charles' personality well and highlighted John O'Connor's performance.

[nataliakoodziej]

Charles is a complicated character and you did him justice in this video. A masterpiece, as always. Thank you so much

[frostbite]

I am OBSESSED with Josh's performance as Prince Charles. He just commits to the character and there's not an ounce of vanity, self-consciousness or hesitation in his performance, even when Charles is at his foulest and whiniest. An absolutely powerful and mesmerising performance. And this edit is just top-tier stuff, well done!

[lovexstory]

Beautiful video!!! Josh O'Connor did an incredible acting job over 2 season, we couldn't help but feel sympathy for his tragedy at first and then he truly transformed into pure evil and Josh really sold that anger and disgust.

[babyramses]

Watching the series backwards and watching the development of charles' character in reverse helped me to have more empathy. Hurt people hurt others

[KiroScents]

tbh no matter how much I love Diana I still pity Charles. He shouldn’t be king.
