The Episode Review

The Diana segment that was first revealed in the last episode was elaborated on in episode 8. The sections are some of the most horrific parts that provide the basis for some thrilling dramas although those who have a good understanding of the actual family history are aware of how the horrifying tale will conclude.

This particular episode concentrates upon the controversy surrounding the BBC interview in which Princess Diana declared her opinion against the Crown and damaged their image as Royals. In spite of some dramatic changes the entire sequence is well-staged and arranged. The episode was a bit sassy and contained exactly the kind of content that The Crown consistently produces.

Apart from the possibility of having offered characters like Diana as well as Charles characters more nuance and depth The episode does a great job of highlighting the frustration of Diana and Martin’s deceit and deceit.

However, this episode follows The Crowns’ standard symbolic tradition, however this time, they draw an analogy to Diana’s interview and the Gunpowder Plot and Diana’s interview and both share a common factor which is Treason.
