Diana and Charles In the show, Charles calls himself and Diana "the perfect team" in public but "bride and gloom" in private. Series five begins with one of the couple's happy public displays – during their 1991 summer holiday on Charles' yacht Alexandra with William and Harry. The series also shows Charles' press secretary briefing the media that it is a "second honeymoon" with the kids. Diana is seen looking pleased that it's being called a second honeymoon but saddened when she finds out Charles has invited his friends to join them.
