Stick on a Revenge Dress and read these 13 upset tweets about *that* scene from The Crown
‘I expected it to be more about the Revenge Dress and less about Charles’ breakdancing’
Ever since pics of Elizabeth Debicki recreating Princess Diana’s famous Revenge Dress scene leaked to the press, it’s all we’ve been thinking about. The possibilities about how Peter Morgan and The Crown team would re-write the scene were endless. Would we get to hear Princess Diana’s internal monologue while debuting “The Dress”? Would we get a scene on how it was picked? Would we get to see Camilla (allegedly) copying her afterwards?
Unfortunately, what we actually got was 20 seconds of Diana walking up-and-down, before going back to Charles, Camilla and their storyline.
Some might call it an understated, or subtle approach to a significant piece of history – others were just really, really disappointed. These 13 upset tweets about the Revenge Dress scene will, undoubtedly, leave you wanting more as well:

2. If every episode could be sexy John Major and Diana’s Revenge Dress, I’d die happy
The Revenge Dress deserved its own episode but instead we got 60 minutes of Philip being depressed in Russia. #TheCrown pic.twitter.com/GdhxWRgeha

4. Peter Morgan has to pay!!!
I’m sorry but #TheCrown tried it. The revenge dress was a huge thing was bc Diana wore it the NIGHT the interview aired, and knocked Charles off the front pages. It was a stinging embarrassment for him, and Diana’s savviest media moment, and it was barely a blip here. Terrible.

11. To the tower with Peter Morgan!

12. 10 seconds of the Revenge Dress, five minutes of Charles embarrassing himself
This season of the crown feels like its just setting up next season of the crown like we get the revenge dress and then the episode ends with charles having a dance party

13. Just terrible
Gotta say I really expected The Crown to spend a little more time on Diana’s revenge dress and somewhat less on Charles breakdancing
