The more we get into near-past/present, the more boring I think this show gets. There's no real suspense because I've grown up with reading about these scandals in the papers. That's the difference to the previous seasons which I could watch with a fresh eye.

Surprisingly, I really like Staunton's Queen - I think she's a better fit than Coleman ever was.

Don't care about Charles, don't care about Diana whose only accomplishment is the doe-like gaze through her eyelashes. Found the depiction of the boys interesting: William trying to support his mother, Harry always perching on his father's shoulders (just for the pictures?).

Contrasting the modern yacht with the Britannia, just like they're contrasting Charles and Elizabeth as modern vs outdated... was good but a bit overdone after about 5 minutes.
