The Crown | Diana Enchants Charles During Their First Meeting

[Fujikorific]

I love that they’re talking about Midsummer, a play where everyone is in love with the wrong person. Delightfully prophetic.

[yushi]

This is the starter of a sad life where they definitely don’t understand each other: a trees elf and a man who can’t keep a secret for more than 2 seconds.

[dayschange]

I love that she comes out from behind the tree, cursteys, and then scurries right back behind it. So cute. xD

[LilMissDiscord]

So he promises not to say anything and then immediately does... if that's not a warning against future behaviour...

[chrisgordon]

Hasn't anyone noticed that Charles betrayed Diana's trust, by giving away the fact that he had met her, after she expressly asked him not to tell anyone, especially her sister, that they had met and had conversed?

I don't know whether this scene is true or invented but it highlights how the relationship would continue after Diana married Charles.
Having read more comments, I realise that others have seen what I saw. Would that all those who comment here are not completely beguiled by what they see!

can you imagine how Jealous her sister was? Not that Charles covered for her at all. Diana said not to tell that they met, 2 seconds pass, and he tells her sister.

[joselocalau]

the actors have this amazing chemistry

[ladymary]

Diana was enchanting and a force of nature.

[bglambo]

I always loved the soundtrack to this scene it’s so haunting

[Fl_Sunshine]

The last minutes of the scene looking out the window where her eyes looks down then up again she made the same face eye gestures throughout the seasons as an adult it’s like it was her signature expressions

[mjremy]

Talk about a betrayal mere seconds later. Obviously, her secret meant nothing to him. The fact that she would be reprimanded by an older sister, meant nothing to him. A real louse and very self absorbed.

[Jsteiner]

I really enjoyed this series. I think they did a good job of making you care about these people, but never letting you forget that they are out of touch and unrelatable. You can't be raised in such a bubble of incredible wealth and privilege and not be tainted by it. These people are completely clueless about real people's lives. They just look down on us because it's easier than confronting their disconnect.

[OnLifeandLove]

Funny to see all the comments accusing Charles giving the secret away. They forgot that Diana agreed to not meet Charles but then dressed in a costume and timed it at the exact moment Sarah was out to greet him. And she could have gone outside too.

[jeannehall]

Charles only dated Sarah for the same reason he married Diana- to try to make him forget about Camilla! He really wanted Camilla more than anything- just like his great-uncle David (Edward VIII/Duke of Windsor) wanted Wallis and his aunt, Princess Margaret, wanted Peter!

[DaveFisher-cqdr]

1:08 THERE SHE IS, the woman who will soon become one of the most famous, historical women in the world, the one and only, Lady Diana Spencer, a woman who's future will soon become full of fame and glamour, but also full of pain and troubles.

[bef]

Listen to your sister, girl! Leave that man alone!

[DanA-]

Watching this after season 6 part 1 hits different

[twelve]

Incredible scene from an incredible season

[thomasplinguidy]

Magical moment - what young man wouldn't have been inclined to fall in love with Diana after this opening? But Charles should have been warned that Shakespeare always makes the wrong people fall in love - and you need Puck or a very smart lover to make it end well.

[topspinaurelius]

So the whole thing started by Diana being a obsessive groupie base on this writing 😂
