Harry Potter Hard Rock Cafe Hogwarts t-shirt
Somewhere in the Harry Potter Hard Rock Cafe Hogwarts t-shirt and I love this English countryside, a man with radio and recording equipment toggles between frequencies. He pauses as he recognizes the posh voices coming out the other end. Then, he presses the record button. It’s an intimate—and, well, fairly illicit—conversation. But did this really happen between the now king and queen? Or is it an exaggerated plot point in a historical-fiction series? While The Crown is known for its sensationalization, the truth in this case is just as scandalous as fiction. Much of Williams and West’s dialogue is lifted from the transcript of an actual 1989 phone call between the real Charles and Camilla, which was published by various tabloids across the world in 1993. In November 1992—following the revelations of the Prince and Princess of Wales’s troubled marriage in Andrew Morton’s Diana: Her True Story—the British tabloids began reporting rumblings of an alleged controversial conversation between Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles. The Daily Mirror claimed that “a tape recording of an intimate phone call between the Prince of Wales and Camilla Parker Bowles has been played to the Daily Mirror.” The Sun too ran a similar story. Yet both stopped short of publishing the full contents of the call, opting to instead allude to what was said. At the time, the recording’s authenticity was very much in question: “At the heart of the issue lies the question: Is the tape genuine?” pondered the Evening Standard at the time.
