Of course, Im talking about Tampongate (sometimes referred to as Camillagate).
It wasnt a sure thing thatThe Crownwould even mention Tampongate.
The former Charles wanted no part of it.
(West has made a career out of playing very messy men anddoing it well.)
It plays as sweet, silly, and, I daresay, yes, even kind of sexy.
(Ive included it at the end of this recap because it is truly absurd.)
(Granted, its able to do so because its a work of historical fiction, but still.)
As it happens, I do understand a little bit about what it is to be criticized and judged.
And I also know that those judgments are mostly not true.
(See the smiling black and brown faces!
Oh, look, theres a lone woman in a hijab!)
I do think Charles is over-villainized.
)But mines not a popular opinion to have!
Im unsure whetherThe Crowns general audience will be onboard for such a sympathetic portrayal of the man.
I do love you.CHARLES: Night.CAMILLA: Night.CHARLES: Night.CAMILLA: Love you forever.CHARLES: Night.CAMILLA: Gbye.
And thats not even where it ends!!!
Royal Diary
There were some nice touches involving the family card-game scene at the Parker-Bowles residence.
The timing and editing of Laura, have you been cheating again?
as Camilla goes to chat with Charles did not go unnoticed.
I still dont understand what an amateur radio enthusiast is.
A fancy name for a pervy eavesdropper?
It was a little … gynecological for my taste.
Imperfect and human as they all were, there were still four casualties here.
