What Charles and Diana's 1983 Tour of Australia Looked Like In Real Life

One of the major milestones in any royal relationship is the couple's first official tour. For Prince Charles and Princess Diana, that opportunity arrived in March of 1983, when they embarked on a six-week exploration of Australia and New Zealand. As depicted in The Crown season 4 episode 6, "Terra Nullius," the pair's travels get off to a rocky start: Diana (Emma Corrin) insists on breaking royal protocol by bringing 10-month-old baby William, while Charles (Josh O'Connor) resents the adoration his wife is receiving.

As depicted on the show, Charles and Diana vow to make their turbulent marriage work during the tour, though things between them crumble soon after. According to The Telegraph, the royal trip did cement global “Dianamania” as she wowed the crowds with stunning fashion and her endearing presence. But it's not totally clear whether things were just as bumpy between the Prince and Princess of Wales behind the scenes as The Crown suggests.

Ahead, a look at the couple's real-life Australian tour, from the couple's famous dance to their photo-op with William.
