- Prince Charles reciting Shakespeares' "Richard II"
For within the hollow crown
That rounds the mortal temples of a king
Keeps Death his court and there the antic sits,
Scoffing his state and grinning at his pomp,
Allowing him a breath, a little scene,
To monarchize, be fear'd and kill with looks,
Infusing him with self and vain conceit,
As if this flesh which walls about our life,
Were brass impregnable, and humour'd thus
Comes at the last and with a little pin
Bores through his castle wall, and farewell king!
Cover your heads and mock not flesh and blood
With solemn reverence: throw away respect,
Tradition, form and ceremonious duty,
For you have but mistook me all this while:
I live with bread like you, feel want,
Taste grief, need friends: subjected thus,
How can you say to me, I am a king?

Heartbreaking that the only person at his play is his sister.
not exactly heartbreaking
@Billy Anakin yeah, we don’t give a shit
@Billy Anakin that’s invasion of privacy 🙄
He’s not doing a play-he’s reading a family story
Anne's face when she realizes...oh my heart.
I love that they have Anne there in this scene, saying nothing, but expressing everything! Charles pours his heart out. This scene is eminently rewatchable.
@@TomBatemanRT85 Her presence showed that the queen was wrong, because Anne showed that she does care about her brother and what he has to say. She does want to hear him.
When you mother is the mother of an empire, but not to you
She tried and still does but in all honesty what is the happiness of your children compared to the thousands she holds sovereign over.Remember this duty was thrust upon her and her father.
Which empire are you talking about, are you referring to the dead British empire ?
@@subhamtaurooa6051 Not dead at all. The fact you have responded in English proves it's still very much alive.
@@ds1868 oh please , please keep your neo imperial views to yourself , youre indirectly justifying colonialism by saying im replying in English as if you would have understood my mother tongue if I had commented in it, show how much pretty narrow minded and conceited you are concerning the past, now try and understand what im writing in my native tongue if you think English is the language of the colonizers and colonized" alle lire inpe lhistoire do bourik avant deklarer lor ou empire mort "
@@subhamtaurooa6051 The queen has sworn her life to the british commonwealth and declared all its citizens members of her "great imperial family"
It is deliciously ironic that Charles can only be his truly authentic self while pretending to be a king in a play!
And an abdicateing at that.
Up
It is deliciously poignant that Charles understands he is too human to be truly king.
@@icewinddale2675 Which is most definitely the subtext from the preceeding scene, the argument with the Queen. Great stuff.
I never really liked Charles due to what happened to Diana, but after watching this I’m starting to realize that there’s more to him than we know.
More to diana as well. She was seen in the 90's as perfect, virginal, jilted. However in later years we learned both parties were not faithful. Both grew to despise one another.
C3WhiteFang Alexandra Diaz Imagine being 2nd in command for over 70 years.
@@jamiebarringer4019 This. The fact that despite what she did being common knowledge she is portrayed as the completely innocent party is awful. Then again its just a example of society's disgusting attitude to adultery. If a woman cheats its the mans fault. HE has done something wrong and HE needs to make things right. If a man cheats its because he's a pig.
@@Wanderer628 I don't find that true. Society is way tougher on women than men. If a women cheats she is a whore, disgrace, etc. While a man might be a piece of shit but if he comes from money than its not that big of a deal and can be easily forgotten. In Diana's case, I believe the already preformed notions and media built image played a big role. Charles was never shown in a good light unlike Diana. He was always characterized as a potential cheat, unmanly, emotionally constipated. If anything came out in public later, people easily just justified it by saying that he and his behaviour to a young maiden drove her to do that. Which might have been true in the beginning. But Diana was a manipulative and smart woman who continued to play and propel the stereotype.
There always has been. He hasn't changed, public perception of him has. Diana was just better at PR than the royal family. Unfortunately she was nowhere near as nice as some people persist in believing. It's all in the Royal Archive. Maybe in 100 years it will be released. Prince Charles said that he is happy for history to be his judge. I suspect it will be less prejudiced than some people in the present.
How to start describing how perfect and sad this scene is? Josh O'Connor is sublime and insurmountable, he manages to connect you with the figure of Prince Charles, even if you never sympathized with him, you manage to feel each and every one of his insecurities and deficiencies. Like the rest of the cast, it's perfect, but here he shines by himself and he goes beyond that, I hope his career continues like this.
Thank you God bless your soul
Well Said
Probably why he won the Emmy for this show.
One of the best scenes in the series, there's no way not to remember it right now.
@@inigobantok1579 He won a golden globe for the last season, and he was competing against Al Pacino.
Most emotional Scene of the Season for me. Charles was awesome in this Episode.
Most emotional episode for me. Brilliant acting all around, and really heavy subject matter. Incredible job, really.
Best scene of season 3. The acting and soundtrack are brilliant.
Yeah, I'm torn between this one and the one when princess Alice has to leave Greece
Remarkable acting👏
"Subjected thus how can you say to me
I am a king?"
"I live with bread, like you."
Brilliant acting in this scene. This is the most well done episode of the season, perhaps of the entire series.
@@cujbj1 I agree with you. I think this was the best episode.I watched 3 times.
One of the best scenes in the series, there's no way not to remember it right now.
This guy deserves an Emmy for this episode! Delivered a masterclass in acting!
He finally did
Only a world class actor can play a character within a character in a play and play both roles so well. He does well as Netflix's Charles and Shakespeare's' King Richard.
Loved this scene. Josh O’Connor was great as Charles. The soundtrack behind this is beautiful.
He did such an incredible job here; I get chills every time
This scene is so clever, it's the parallels of Charles and his desires and I was so impressed watching it. I felt like Princess Anne here, this monologue is one of Charles' heart
One of THE best scenes on the crown...
I've come back to this scene now that Charles is king.
One of the best scenes in the series, there's no way not to remember it right now.
You would think all of the bs that Elizabeth went through you’d think she’d be a more understanding mother and notice that this is not what her son wants:(
What? She knew and it broke her heart
I empathise with her too. She watched her father suppress his own wants and needs to be a good King, and then she had to do it herself at such a young age. She feels like she's had to sacrifice everything to be the Queen and she's probably angry that Charles isn't willing to do the same thing.
@@bananamanchester4156 What did she sacrifice to be queen?
@@nomahope3182 Racing horses LOL
This is just beautiful and sublime.
Evey once in a while I come back and watch this ,it always takes my breath away.
Me too! ❤
When you start sympathizing who you never loved by the way of an act, you know he's a good actor.
This was one of the best scenes in The Crown. I remembered these last few days. And was officially crowned king.
This is it. This is Charles's essence in these lines.
As a theatre kid, this episode makes me feel sorry for Prince Charles😭😭😭
This is so deep so deep. The conflict between the individuals Individuality and the establishment.
It’s a shame they didn’t use the “Duck Shoot” motif in season 4. Having continuous soundtrack motifs is something that really makes a show.
So true! That was one of the best soundtracks, and the continuation of it in the newer seasons would have really been amazing.
They probably won't use it in Season 5 and are saving it for Season 6 during the death of Princess Diana
@@zahabiapancha5652 season 5 will end at the eve of dianas death maybe there
Does someone know where I can find this version though? I cannot find it in the official season 3 tracklist
@@arthurlacoste1759 Yeah, me neither 🤔
Heartbreaking. When I saw Richard II years ago, the overwhelming grief of Richard (and Charles in this scene) didn't resonate with me as the bitter, contempt indictment of the role of monarch by those who are cursed with that role. It does now.
Kings and Queens are expected to be superhuman, but in reality are mere mortals who live on bread, feel want, and need friends, just like their subjects.
Josh O'Connor always struck me as a Newt Schamander type character. He seemed so innocent and cute at first
Those kinds of guys really grow on me :)
For within the hollow crown

Thank you so much
Shakespeare magnificent
Thank you for writing this out...wow
I’m binge watching all of this
And this is the last episode I’ve watched. Of all the excellent portrayals and world class acting I’m already dumbstruck by this actor playing Charles
That final scene was absolutely golden tv
My word. When this show hits, it hits hard. Fabtastic scene, with marvelous work from Josh O'Connor.
How amazing actor, i cant handle it
Just one example of the soundtrack The use of the Devil’s key on the word King the music on this series is one of the best in British history 1:53
Splendidly acted.
He is so kind, so thoughtful, so gentle, he is pure and monarchy tors his heart and soul. I feel pity for him. When I was a child I wanted to be a princess, now after the Crown, I am really glad that I never will be and my children never will be. It is a blessing to be normal. Because be the king, is not a life for human but for psychopaths. And if you are not a psychopath they will entirely destroy you inside.
I love this plat within a play.
Charles is a complex character. From childhood he was told he would one day become king.with an obedient queen. His true self was killed in the process. He fell for camilla. But it was taken away from him...then came Diana...who was a different character with dominance... Love....which charles was attracted too but knew he can never become like her. People started seeing as supported role...which he never wanted...that's the problem..
Dans le cercle même de la couronne - qui entoure les tempes mortelles d’un roi - la mort tient sa cour, et là, la farceuse trône, - raillant l’autorité de ce roi, ricanant de sa pompe, - lui accordant un souffle, une petite scène - pour jouer au monarque, se faire craindre et tuer d’un regard, - lui inspirant l’égoïsme et la vanité avec l’idée - que cette chair qui sert de rempart à notre vie - est un impénétrable airain ! Puis, après s’être ainsi amusée, - elle en finit ; avec une petite épingle, - elle perce ce rempart, et… adieu le roi ! - Couvrez vos têtes, et n’offrez pas à ce qui n’est que chair et que sang - l’hommage d’une vénération dérisoire ; jetez de côté le respect, - la tradition, l’étiquette, et la déférence cérémonieuse ; - car vous vous êtes mépris sur moi jusqu’ici. - Comme vous, je vis de pain, je sens le besoin, j’éprouve la douleur, - et j’ai besoin d’amis. Ainsi asservi, - comment pouvez-vous me dire que je suis roi ?
He certainly loves himself a great deal.
Is now the King
One of the best scenes in the series, there's no way not to remember it right now.
Very supportive sister
Feel want...taste grief.....need friends.....aiyee.....I am a king?
"The shadow of of a crown.
The shadow of a king."
Josh O'Connor playing young Charles III playing Richard II. That's acting.
Please remember this show is, of necessity, a fictionalized version of the royal family. Perhaps the writer was accurate in his conjecture of what was said in those intimate conversations, perhaps not. It's a good show, educational, and entertaining, but it can't be taken as completely accurate.
Does anyone know what soundtrack is this ? I cant find it.
Does anybody know the music in this scene. It was also the music in season 6 when Diana appears to the queen and Charles? It’s not duck shoot but almost a reworked version of it
I know this monologue is pretty relevant to the young Charles but Richard II is a bit of an uncomfortable parallel...wasn't Richard II made to abdicate for being a weak ruler and then murdered later in prison in Shakespeare's play? Lol.
True you are true royalist #foggotenprince
Richard II was forced to abdicate as he believed in absolute monarchy. Far from being weak he overplayed the role of King and paid for it with his life. After his abdication he was imprisoned in Pontefract Castle in Yorkshire and was slowly starved to death. The tragedy of Richard II is mirrored here in a rather ironic way in the early life of Prince Charles.
@@ds1868 I say Richard II as "weak" in being unable to maintain enough followers loyal to him because of his belief in absolute monarchy. It is a matter of interpretation, ultimately. Though I will say my response was more for how Richard II was presented in the play as opposed to actual historical events...which were a bit more gnarly and boring than what Shakespeare presented. Starving to death isn't as dramatic as being murdered by someone.
@@theoutsider8745 starving to death is far more dramatic
As Seen on Masterpiece Classic
When Shakespeare is done wrong it can be very twee, its often overacted and makes me cringe.
But in the rare occasions when its done right, it gives me literal chills. Josh's delivery here is perfection. Well done sir.
There's really nothing twee about Shakespeare's writing, it's the performances that can render it ineffective. But not here. This is extraordinarily fine acting, Josh O'Connor giving us Charles in the guise of another king. Masterful. I'm glad this show introduced me to his acting.
Perfect.
Can someone tell me what's the song in the background called
Back when we didnt hate him
I neve hated him, I felt sadder for him each season.
You shouldn’t hate him. For this reason exactly you should feel sorry, not hatred
the thumbnail is terrifying 💀💀 Like Pennywise emerging from the darkness (I’m sorry 😭😭)
Does anyone know the name of the soundtrack music playing?
Duck shoot but a little bit different version
really pumping up the empathy angle for Charles knowing how ugly things were going to get with Diana.
which soundrack playing in this scene ?
Poor man still doesn’t have the crown 👑
Crown or his mother
He has more freedom as a prince, actually.
Not anymore
Does anyone know the name of the song?
Jack Waring I think it’s just a different version of “Duck Shoot”, which is used in season 1
@@thecrown5097 There's no soundtrack on youtube like this one :'(
I also can't find the music

What is the play represents charles?
I’m not sure if this is what you're asking but he’s reciting a portion of Shakespeare’s play “Richard II”
Henry V
Mine ear is open and my heart prepared;
The worst is worldly loss thou canst unfold.
Say, is my kingdom lost? why, ’twas my care
And what loss is it to be rid of care?
--
Your cares set up do not pluck my cares down.
My care is loss of care, by old care done;
Your care is gain of care, by new care won:
The cares I give I have, though given away;
They tend the crown, yet still with me they stay.
King lear or henry the fifth Richard the third
@@thecrown5097 Indeed. The tragedy of Richard II who believed in absolute monarchy but was prevented from achieving his aims and was starved to death in Pontefract Castle.
can someone explain this scene? lmao i dont get it
Having just received a brutal wake up call to his true role in life, Charles was reciting these lines from Shakespeare not only as an actor on stage, but from his own very soul. His sister realized that, which is why she suddenly sits up in her seat.
The verse talks about how the outward appearance of a king is just an illusion, or a show. Underneath the crown is a mere mortal, who is a captive of his crown.
@@michaelgorby subjected thus
Watch the episode you won’t regret it
Charles was never this good an actor.
You saw him?
So he can choose be alone. Not married. Public will be ok. He affraid to face w parent ...I never forget he and cowmilla put Diana to tragic. No put all to tragic life
He couldn't choose
He's married, dummy, lol.
And yet he moked Diana for being artistic.
She wasn't artistic, she was a showoff.
@@Seek1878 Stop already. She was a talented dancer who had studied ballet.
@@cherylhulting1301 And? She was a showoff with it.
If Charles III can make Richard II look like a good king, hopefully he will be a good king
