6 things I learned watching that trashy Diana-shaming King Charles documentary
King Charles: The Boy Who Walked Alone. But I had an inkling that I wasn’t going to like what I saw. That inkling proved shockingly correct, since I think we can all agree that when it comes to public figures you just really want to root for, Charles is fairly low on the list.
