Episode 2 of The Crown season 4 sets up a truly delicious dramatic scenario: a long, weird weekend at Balmoral Castle during which the royal family is visited not only by Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher (Gillian Anderson), but also by Diana Spencer (Emma Corrin), Prince Charles's new girlfriend and future wife. The episode is named "The Balmoral Test," a reference to the long-rumored royal initiation which newbies are subjected to at the Queen's estate in Aberdeenshire. Diana creates a strong first impression at dinner, mostly by being charmingly meek and self-deprecating, but the real test comes the following morning, when Prince Philip takes her out on a hunting expedition.
Princess Diana's former butler Paul Burrell believes the late royal would have approved of her daughter-in-law Duchess Meghan and her and her son Prince Harry's decision to step back from royal duties.
Hollywood actors Richard Gere and Sylvester Stallone once almost got into a fist-fight over Princess Diana after they met the royal at a dinner party at Sir Elton John's home.
Sir Elton John looks set to perform at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's wedding on Saturday (19.05.18), but it's not known whether he will get behind his piano at the church service or for the reception.
Twenty years after her death, here's why Diana will always be remembered as the "People's Princess."
