Charles Dance’s Lord Mountbatten admonishes Josh O’Connor’s Charles for his pursuit of Camilla, who at the time was married to Andrew Parker Bowles. On the show, the prince only reads the note after the IRA assassinated Lord Mountbatten in August 1979. While no record of the letter exists, Peter Morgan, creator of The Crown, believes the interaction to be based in truth. Picture shows: Princess Diana (EMMA CORRIN) and Prince Charles (JOSH O CONNOR).
