However, the series does not include the wedding of Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer in 1981, an event which drew 750 million viewers around the world. Josh O’Connor, who has played Prince Charles since season three, agreed with Corrin and said the decision was part of what makes The Crown “so good”. But what's more interesting, because Charles and Diana have to be a certain way on their wedding day, you don't see the nuance; whereas when it's behind closed doors, the rehearsal, we have more license to create and fictionalise.” While fans may be disappointed that they won’t get to see how The Crown would have portrayed the wedding, they do see a glimpse of Corrin wearing a version of Princess Diana’s iconic wedding dress. It was it was an amazing moment, and then to film it as well was very surreal.” The fourth series of The Crown also explores the couple’s first meeting, Diana’s introduction to the family, subsequent marriage to Prince Charles and her rise to global fame and scrutiny.
