The episode starts about three months before the July 1969 investiture, when Welsh nationalism is on the rise. But now is our chance to see how Charles was as well. Yes, Charles’ future wife was an undeniable victim of the repressive institution that is the British royal family. Between last season’s “ Paterfamilias” and now “Tywysog Cymru” (saved you a Google search: It’s Welsh for “Prince of Wales”), let’s just say I may not join Team Diana so quickly in season 4. I have to hand it to The Crown: It’s doing a terrific job in portraying Charles as a sympathetic character, especially now with the addition of O’Connor, whose task is to transform the awkward, sensitive prince into one hardened by rules and isolation. It was here that Charles used his newfound knowledge of the Welsh language to turn the moment into a venting session over his invisible, mute existence as heir to the British throne. That is until, according to The Crown, he gave his speech. On the surface, 21-year-old Prince Charles (Josh O’Connor) followed every detail of protocol.

We’ve got a real battle of the royal headwear going on here, folks.
