British royal family news shows that Diana, the People’s Princess had good taste in television, according to her hairdresser. At Fotografiska New York, on May 21, 2024, the Styling Princess Diana panel took place, featuring Richard Dalton, Diana’s hairdresser who talked about styling her hair and her television viewing habits.

British Royal Family News – Dalton Reminisced About Diana’s Favorite Show

Dalton had first met her a couple of years before Diana’s wedding to King Charles III (then Prince Charles).

For more than a decade, Dalton styled Diana’s hair daily, reminiscing, “It was a daily routine, sometimes even twice a day for tiaras.” Dalton also revealed that one of the princess’s favorite TV shows was “Dynasty.”

“She would say, ‘Richard, you can’t go out tonight because ‘Dynasty’ is on!’ I had to watch it closely for her.” The popular soap opera aired from 1981 to 1989, focusing on the fictional,...

Not all adaptations of Princess Diana's life and portrayal are on the same level, with some lacking truthful moments and depth. Kristen Stewart's portrayal of Diana in the film "Spencer" focused on her struggles with mental health and eating disorders, and while divisive, Stewart's performance was strong. Emma Corrin and Elizabeth Debicki delivered standout performances as Diana in "The Crown," capturing her younger years and maturing character, respectively.

Princess Diana was an internationally beloved figure, and her story has been told many times by different actors in movies, musicals, and TV shows like The Crown. The Princess came under intense public scrutiny while she was alive, and after her passing in 1997, many filmmakers took up the challenge of portraying her life with dignity and care. While this may be the case, not all adaptations of her experiences or portrayals of her as a person are on the same level.

As King Charles III is officially crowned, we revisit all the actors who’ve played him on “The Crown” and other productions about the British Royal Family.

So you guys have probably noticed we're a little excited about the upcoming Royal Wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton, and so is Hallmark.
