Thats because, leading up to his investiture as the Prince of Wales (a.k.a.
Let me let you into a secret, she replies.
No one wants to hear it.
Im pretty pleased I nailed it.
I think I needed two or three takes for that.
But to explain why Im so good at them: Our drama-school system in the United Kingdomlovesthem.
We basically start every day with them.
Which was more difficult for you to master: Welsh or Charless speech patterns?
Or WelshwithCharless speech patterns?The Welsh was all right.
I worked really hard to master that Charles accent, though.
I watched lots of footage.
But really, the biggest thing was letting go of him after a while.
I wanted to honor this character as opposed to the real person.
Did you make any attempts to reach out to the real-life Charles?No, I didnt.
To be honest, it was never really an option for me.
Or it puts emphasis on the real person.
I genuinely see Charles as a work of fiction.

The reception seems to be so far one of great understanding.
I have huge sympathy for Charles.
I think he comes across really well in the show.

I think hes removed and lonely.
At that younger stage in his life, he had a lot of isolation.
Im curious if you agree with that.
As soon as they express an opinion, theyre vulnerable and no longer royal.
The mystery is gone.
I dont think hes going to talk to anyone ever.
But inThe Crown,its fraught at best.
Its the same with Charles.
Its certainly going to be unlike any relationship that me or you will have with our parents.
That, at the heart of it, is an interesting thought.
Truly a psychiatrists delight.Its insane!
Emerald [Fennell] and I were perfect for the roles and got along so well.
!Apparently, its true.
Ineedto know the facts.
Ineedto know the truth.
