What for?

As a stabilizing influence.

Since when as a baby ever been a stabilizing influence on anything?

We never took the children anywhere.

When we went to Australia in 1954, we left them at home for five months.

And you suppose that might have had consequences?

On what?

A tour was a triumph.

I should probably ask Charles and Diana to come and see me.

This tour is too important.

Welcome to the Crown of the official podcast.

I'm Edith Bowman and this show will follow the fourth season of the Netflix original

series The Crown episode by episode.

Taking you behind the scenes, speaking with many of the talented people involved,

and diving deep into the stories.

Today we're talking about episode six, titled Terra Nilius. The year is 1983 and two years into their marriage, Charles and Diana are

sent on a six week tour of Australia and New Zealand. It's Diana's first official overseas trip as

the Princess of Wells and at her insistence a nine-month-old Prince William is brought

along. In the wilderness of Australia, away from prying eyes,

Charles and Diana rekindle their relationship, but how long will it last? We'll cover specific events and scenes that feature in this episode so if you haven't

watched episode six yet I suggest you do it now or very soon. Coming up later we'll hear from Josh O'Connor who plays Prince Charles.
