Though my first contact with Tim Pigott-Smith was his portrayal or Ronald Merrick in the BBC PBS 'Jewel In the Crown'v- he played a villanous authority figure quite unlikeable - this does not stop my feelings of sadness at losing Sir Tim Pigott-Smith at 90. 2017. He is/was a magnificent actor in Theatre & the special exceptions as 'Jewel . . ." He did a funny appearance on 'Miranda' with Miranda Hart - comedian writer funnier than most. RIP

[ellacastillo]

하느님 맙소사, 한국에 왕이 없어서 다행이야.
Thank God, Republic of Korea has no royal.

How can they write about something that hasn't happened yet and story lines and character reaction all seem to be just conjecture.

[bronte]

Good Lord! No way in hell or on God's green earth would this EVER happen! Prince Charles behaving like a spoiled, petulant child...Prince HENRY giving everything up for some woman he'd just met, Kate acting like Lady Macbeth (almost), Prince William acting like an asshole. As for the ghost of Diana talking like a character from a Dr Seuss book. I think that whoever wrote this screenplay must've passed out on the toilet and hit his/her head on the porcelain and then came to and said, " Hey! Guess what I saw!" and so this stupid movie came to be. BTW, isn't Harry engaged​ to be married to girl named Megan?
