The hit Netflix drama follows the royal couple, played by Josh O’Connor and Emma Corrin, on their 1983 tour of Australia where they both struggled in their public and personal life. However a lighter moment comes when Prince Charles and Princess Diana dance together at a charity ball in Sydney, with Charles spinning his bride around the floor. It was their first publicly filmed dance together. This scene is accompanied by a sultry cover of Frankie Valli’s Can’t Take My Eyes Off You, performed by British pop and jazz singer Purdy.
