catching up now, we wanted to wait until all the eps were available before starting the season.
agree with above, the Diana saga and conclusion was tremendously well-done. i am not a royal-phile (or whatever you call it) in the slightest and her death barely registered with me at the time, but the show got me choked up about it.
i'll say the recasting of the princes despite no break in the timeline was totally jarring, especially Harry! he was still supposed to be 12 and he suddenly looked 18...weird choice, but maybe that was related to the strikes or something? *shrug*
anyways... we're up to ep7, three to go... i'm assuming we'll get some 9/11* drama, and then didn't she lose her mother and sister at nearly the same time shortly after in 2002? that's got to be impactful.
it's amusing how they are portraying Charles as such a forward thinker, open to change and encouraging modernity...and now the Brits all think he's too old and wish it was William.
*i chuckled when Blair responded to W's election with something like 'well i'll be the elder experienced one now and be able to steer him'...yeah, how'd that work out Tony? lol
