At that time, Highgrove was under renovation and redecoration, which Diana supervised with her mother’s interior designer, Dudley Poplak. But in a phone call with Vanity Fair Monday, Vickers sounded genuinely aggrieved by The Crown’s treatment of Charles this time around. Royal expert Hugo Vickers, who has written about Queen Elizabeth and the Queen Mother, has enjoyed discrediting The Crown’s storylines so much that he’s penned an entire book (and e-book devoted to the current season) fact-checking the series. Trapped, unhappy, and unable to escape what he views as an abomination of unholy matchmaking, The Crown’s Charles spends his screen time sulking, self-pitying, and eventually lashing out at his pretty, young wife. Because of his position as heir to the throne, he can’t be with the woman he loves ( Camilla Parker Bowles, as played by Emerald Fennell), and is essentially pressured into a loveless marriage with a teenager, Diana Spencer ( Emma Corrin), whom he’s only met a handful of times and who upstages him at every P.R. In the drama’s new season, Charles, as played by Josh O’Connor, is again portrayed as a victim of one-in-seven-billion circumstances. In The Crown’s second and third seasons, Prince Charles was depicted as being a bit of a victim-a sensitive creature born to a tough father and a hands-off mother who may have been better suited to, say, Shakespearean stage work than leading the Commonwealth of Nations.
