Netflix Introduces Princess Diana to 'The Crown' 10.13.2020 Part of the fun of Netflix's extravagant period drama, The Crown, is seeing who will play what famous figure. Last season, it was Oscar-winner Olivia Colman and Oscar-nominee Helena Bonham Carter taking on the iconic roles of Queen Elizabeth and her impetuous sister, Princess Margaret. This season, it's the much less well known Emma Corrin taking on the role of the the now globally revered Lady Diana Spencer, who will become Princess Diana by the end of the season, and Gillian Anderson as Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, also known as the "Iron Lady." Netflix itself has had fun teasing the season, and the streaming service is clearly aware of the cultural touchstones it is heading for-in particular, Diana's famous wedding dress, which is where this 1:32 teaser ends. The spot is narrated by the famous-and unwittingly prescient-words of the bishop who officiated the royal wedding of Prince Charles and Lady Diana, who says: "Here is the stuff of which fairy tales are made. A prince and princess on their wedding day. But fairytales usually end at this point with the simple phrase, 'They lived happily ever after. As husband and wife live out their vows, loving and cherishing one another, sharing life's splendors and miseries, achievements and setbacks, they will be transformed in the process. Our faith sees the wedding day not as the place of arrival, but the place where the adventure really begins." As everyone now knows, the story of Prince Charles and Princess Diana was anything but a fairy tale. Season four of The Crown premieres Friday, Nov. 15 on Netflix.â€‹ [Images courtesy of Netflix].

The Crown Prince and the Frog-Prince: Characterisations in the Identity Construction of Firstborn Males
© Psychological Society of South Africa. All rights reserved. South African Journal of Psychology, 40(3), 2010, pp. 282-291 ISSN 0081-2463 The crown prince and the frog-prince: characterisations in the identity construction of firstborn males Gertina J. van Schalkwyk University of Macau, Macau I explore the identity construction and narrative self of firstborn males at the hand of metaphors contained in the well-known fairytale of the “Frog King”. In many societies around the world, the oldest male offspring — the firstborn, lastborn, or single child — confronts a host of legacies, privileges and social structures that lead him to adopt a particular characterisation of self. Using a non-empirical philosophical design, narrative analysis, and a fairytale as metaphoric framework, I analysed the narratives of two firstborn males explicating images of the crown prince and the frog- prince as metaphors for socially organised frameworks of meaning that define categories and specify what constitutes being a firstborn male. I searched for conceptual linkages between the crown prince, the frog-prince and the dominant discourse of patriarchy in identity construction, proposing that his enmeshment in social stereotypes precludes explorations of a multi-faceted, differentiated self and an integrated adaptation to life’s challenges. Keywords: crown prince; fairytale metaphor; firstborn male; frog-prince; male identity; patriarchy; pseudo-identity In ancient times people esteemed able-bodied men who could protect their families and livelihoods against nature and beasts. Notwithstanding economical and political progress — from monarchy to democracy, agrarian to technocratic, battlefield to so-called peaceful negotiations or from emphasis on physical and manual labour to mental enterprise — male privileging has prevailed.

The Life and Death of an Icon Facil Ute Core Core Tie Modiam, Conulla
WW | xxxxxxxx THIS STORY ALWAYS HAD everything, didn’t it? The blushing young innocent who transformed herself into the most adored – and most hunted – woman in the world. The Cinderella who found her Prince Charming – or thought she did – and then entered the palace via the golden carriage. The fairytale but fraudulent wedding of the century, followed by that grim parable of death in the Paris tunnel. The romance, the adultery, the royal intrigue, the eternal, hopeless quest for love, the media’s crazed preoccupation and pursuit. TIn her lifetime, Diana was the People’s Princess who, in death, became the Sleeping Beauty and the Lady of the Lake. She was the stuff that myths are made of and, like her or not, believe it or not, hers was a tale of epic, monumental proportions, that mesmerised the world for 16 years – from the time she walked down the aisle in St Paul’s Cathedral to the time of her funeral in Westiminster Abbey, witnessed by, what was it, a quarter of the world’s population? permafrost and the duke’s Teutonic coldness Think of Marilyn Monroe, Princess Grace, to Diana’s single-minded pursuit of Prince Greta Garbo, Jackie Onassis, perhaps even Charles and her elder son, William’s, interest Mother Theresa, and roll them into one in becoming governor-general of Australia. iconic figure, and you might approach the The Diana Spencer that emerges from fame, the celebrity of Diana Spencer, the pages of Tina Brown’s The Diana Celebrated editor Tina Princess of Wales.

Princess Diana –
Princess Diana – Legend of the month “They say it is better to be poor and happy than rich and miserable, but how about a compromise like moderately rich and just moody?” —Princess Diana Born Diana Spencer on July 1, 1961, Princess Diana became Lady Diana Spencer after her father inherited the title of Earl Spencer in 1975. She married heir to the British throne, Prince Charles, on July 29, 1981. They had two sons and later divorced in 1996. Diana died in a car crash after trying to escape the paparazzi in Paris on the night of August 30, 1997. Aristocratic Upbringing British royalty Princess Diana Spencer was born on July 1, 1961, near Sandringham, England. Diana, Princess of Wales, was one of the most adored members of the British royal family. She was the daughter of Edward John Spencer, Viscount Althorp, and Frances Ruth Burke Roche, Viscountess Althorp (later known as the Honorable Frances Shand Kydd). Her parents divorced when Diana was young, and her father won custody of her and her siblings. She was educated first at Riddlesworth Hall and then went to boarding school at West Heath School. She became Lady Diana Spencer after her father inherited the title of Earl Spencer in 1975. Although she was known for her shyness growing up, she did show an interest in music and dancing. Diana also had a great fondness for children. After attending finishing school at the Institut Alpin Videmanette in Switzerland, she moved to London. She began working with children, eventually becoming a kindergarten teacher at the Young England School.

Remembering Princess Diana with CCTV
humanities Article Surveillance and Social Memory: Remembering Princess Diana with CCTV Nicole Falkenhayner English Seminar, Albert-Ludwigs-University Freiburg, Rempartstr. 15, Freiburg 79085, Germany; [email protected] Academic Editor: Peta Tait Received: 30 May 2016; Accepted: 17 August 2016; Published: 1 September 2016 Abstract: Since the 1990s, surveillance camera images have experienced a function creep from their juridical uses into journalism and entertainment. In these contexts, the images have also become memory media. This article, for the ﬁrst time, analyses CCTV images, meaning closed circuit surveillance camera images, as memory media and discusses the implications of our use of artefacts of control within a frame of mediated constructions of social memory. The article undertakes this work by analyzing remediations of the CCTV images of Diana Spencer and Dodi Al-Fayed in the Ritz Hotel in Paris on 30 August 1997 in television news and a documentary from 2007 and 2011, respectively. It is shown how social memory of Diana’s death is a contested site, in which the images play a speciﬁc role. Keywords: Surveillance; images; social memory; social emotion; experientiality; narration; mediatisation; Princess Diana 1. Introduction On the morning of 1 September 1997, the world woke up to the news of the death of Princess Diana and her recent lover, Dodi Al-Fayed, in a car crash in Paris. The death of Princess Diana had an enormous impact on the civil and emotional culture of the UK, making it a stable part of British, but also global, social memory [1]. The CCTV images, meaning closed circuit surveillance camera images, that were made by surveillance cameras in the Ritz Hotel were affect-affording in the narrations of Diana’s death.
