It is reported that Diana and Charles went on only 12 dates between becoming reacquainted in the Summer of 1980 and their engagement in February 1981.
Emma Corrin (Lady Diana Spencer) confessed on Nicole Kidman/Kylie Minogue/Nicola Adams/Josh O'Connor/Emma Corrin/Jason Manford (2020) that in the scene they solo dance in a Buckingham Palace ballroom to Elton John's "Song for Guy" they were actually dancing to Cher's "Believe." The scene had to be re-shot because they were mouthing the words to the 1998 song.
At around 1 minute 15 seconds a large mouse can be seen running across the floor in front of the queen mother.
Diana Spencer's Austin Metro (MPB 909W) can be found in Coventry Transport Museum.
Elizabeth tells Charles that her grandmother, Queen Mary, was originally engaged to her "prince charming" (Prince Albert Victor) but he died before the wedding, and she was then married off to his brother, a "prince charmless" (Prince George, later King George V) and there was no attraction or love. By most accounts Mary and George fell deeply in love shortly after they were married and wrote each other love letters nearly every day they were apart, while Mary was relatively unfamiliar with Albert before his death. In fact, Albert had desired to marry Princess Hélène of Orléans, who was deemed unsuitable as a future queen because she was Catholic, and he had to settle for Mary.
