This has the FAINTEST echoes of Diana's divorce dress -- both are black and slim-cut, this has a wink to Diana's sweetheart neckline, and both have bare shoulders -- though Diana's was both, and Elizabeth's is only one. They are GENTLE echoes, but very possibly intentional. She looks lovely -- and also subdued, as is probably befitting the premiere of a show in which the real person you are playing tragically dies.

I believe these are the two lads playing William and Harry in those earlier episodes. I am not sure about THAT casting, visually, but between Jonathan Pryce and Dominic West, we've also established that they don't care so much about that.

And here are your older Wills and Haz, which are... better? I would LOVE IT if the actual real Harry decided he was going to enter a phase of pants with their own train. DO IT.

And Meg is playing Kate. I'm curious how many episodes she'll even BE in; I know they're going up to mid-2005, but I don't know how far beyond. I hope the last act of the finale is a bizarre, overstuffed montage that covers 2005-2023 in about six minutes.
