It must've been so heartbreaking to see her younger sister, once so vivacious, confined to a wheelchair and nearly blind
😢😢 Love Princess Margaret..
She had the strokes because of her alcoholism, drug use, etc.
@@Otaku155 Princess Margaret was a fine Lady. Lived her life, in her very own personal natural way. Non of us are perfect ! It was a devastating moment to see her from the dance floor to the wheelchair. Life can take a turn... We just don't know when !!!!
@@Otaku155 that's true, but it's hard and heartbreaking when someone you love ruins their health with their poor lifestyle choices. And to lose her only sister , followed shortly by losing her mother
@@Otaku155Yes, and? Doesn’t mean it would have been any less painful for her sister to see her like that. It doesn’t matter how someone got sick, no one wants to see their loved one suffer.
"I'd rather die than to exercise" girl SAME
I had a HEARTY chuckle at that lmao.
@@MemoirsofaBasketcase ~LOL~ shes all of us there
Although I wouldn't mind using the nice Buckingham Palace pool if the offer's still open.
its nothing to boast about.
I’d be the same way. If I knew I was on the way out, I’d throw a big party and drink and smoke my ass off. Out with a bang. Love princess Margaret ❤
I love how margaret looks at her now 98/99 year old mother when she says “home for geriatrics” and the Queen mother throws it straight back at her.
What an evil mother. Her daughter is younger than her and is suffering and all she thinks about is how offended she is that she heard the word geriatrics and she wants to point out she doesn’t use handrails
@@nostalgia545i agree, the comment wasn’t in the best taste and i doubt the actual QM would have said something like this as she knew how unwell her daughter was. still from a drama point of view it’s fun to see them at each other.
@@nostalgia545 Either your family is so distanced they can't have a friendly go at each other, or you've never had stroke/demented elderly family members. Probably both.
@@NACLGames Everything isn't funny - especially if it's something the individual struggles with every second of every day. Someone doesn't have a "distanced" family just because they don't joke about their relative's massively debilitating, life-changing medical condition. Again, everything is not funny. If anything, YOU sound like you come from a hugely dysfunctional family that "has a go" a little too often and little too deeply. When my family "has a go", it's about things like someone always being cheap, not knowing how to cook, or always stinking up the bathroom. Stupid things. Not lifelong, life-changing disabilities. This is coming from someone whose father was paralyzed down his entire dominant side for the last 10 years of is life. Most people in that predicament deal with depression. There's nothing funny about it.
Horrible people.
Queen Mother: I don’t have handrails anywhere 😌
Queen: Seriously woman? now? 😒
😂💀
100% Mother just sit their and say nothing.
Because even in a serious drama like the Crown there needs to be some moments of comic relief lol
The shade!
They made the Queen Mother kind of unlikeable throughout the series. I don't know much about what she was like in real life, but on the show she always annoyed me.
"I'd rather die than exercise"
Same, girl. I'll drink to that
I always thought the relationship between Elizabeth and Margaret was the heart of the series.
It most definitely was.
Me too although they threw Margaret in the background at the end the Ritz episodes it’s by far my favourite such a. Beautiful tribute to those sisters so touching
In many ways Margaret was tougher than her sister, and had she been the monarch would not I think have let herself be pushed around by politicians.
dont be silly. THe queen has no power@@splinterbyrd
@@splinterbyrd she would have been a disastrous monarch; vain, imperious, snobbish, alcoholic and impetuous EVERYTHING her sister wasn’t
"Go out with a bang, with a big birthday party". Gosh, I love Margaret's attitude!
wdym
@@freepalestinanowShe knows she's going to die soon, so reckons she might as well do something fun to enjoy the last few months she's got left rather than stave off the inevitable.
Give Lesley a role and see her turn into something magical.what an actress.hope she gets an Emmy nomination.
The new Judi Dench
too bad neither imelda nor lesley got nominated...what a huge disappointment
Lesley barely had anytime to shine as Margaret compared to Vanessa and Helena, but she chewed every scene she got!
@@azjmsxhn they are only the nominations for season five… the period covering June 2022-May 2023 for this years set of awards. hopefully imelda, lesley and dominic will all get nominated next year.
do the emmys give awards to british shows?
It’s intetesting how different the characters are. Margaret quite defeatist and fatalistic, the Queen problem-solving, upbeat, looking for a solution.
When my granny had a stroke she was utterly strident in her determination to get better. When she was in the recuperative hospital a physiotherapist would come daily to do exercises with her, one of which was using her paralyzed hand to build up and undo lego bricks.
When it was time to pack away, granny used to hide the lego bricks in her bed and once the physio had gone, she’d take out the lego and practise for hours until she regained mobility and motor control in her hand.
She made an amazing recovery, and lived 12 years more, independently and actively.
Watching this I think Granny was more like the Queen than like Margaret.
Margaret was more like her father, then her mother and even grandmother: she needed someone to support her. She wasn't as independent as them. She tried. She tried really hard to be, but it never worked for her because that's just a part of what makes her who she is. Many can relate to her need to have support, especially when she's at her lowest.
I know the Queen Mother doesn't mean any harm when she throws back the "home for geriatrics" line, or says her voice has become strange, but does paint how she doesn't understand what Margaret is going through, which doesn't help Margaret. Elizabeth at least is trying by asking her questions, but she's always had something to keep her going, to keep on living. Margaret on the other hand is tired.
A lot of elderly people get tired of living. And that's not wrong.
My sister had a stroke 8 months ago and had no determination to get better. It's awful. She's 45 years old. She could get better but she doesn't want to.
She had real grit your grandma.
It's shown earlier in the episode that after her first stroke, Margret did undergo therapy, changed her lifestyle as best she could, and did make a good recovery.
By this point, however, she's only after a second, more serious and debilitating stroke, and as talked about in the scene, her feet have been irreparably scalded, more or less crippling her.
I can kind of understand her perspective at this point. You know how it's said you can tell when you're going to die soon. Margaret in the show is accepting that her health in all likelihood is not going to get better and that it's only a matter of time before another stroke kills her outright. So, might as well enjoy the last few months left to you instead of fighting the inevitable
Queen mom is a real piece of work.
Queen Mother was totally priding herself on living longer than her own daughter. She said, “God I am Good!”
I absolutely hated the last iteration of the Queen Mother in the Crown. Seasons 3 and 4's iteration felt a lot more accurate to who she was really purported to be in private (an alcoholic, judgmental controller). However, that really seemed to ruffle feathers, so the showrunners crafted this sanitised version based on the collective fantasy of the Queen Mother.
Ironically, the Queen Mother outlived Margaret by less than 2 months. (Margaret died February 9, 2002, and the Queen Mother on March 30th that same year.)
@@maryanntoner4520
NO ONE over one hundred years old expects to bury their own child. 😢
@@h.calvert3165 Actually if you're over a hundred that would be the one time you would possibly expect to bury your own child, as they would be 70-80ish years old
@@theshadowfax239 yeah but everyone should live forever
1:23 'Good for you, Mummy" 🙄
It’s criminal this episode wasn’t up for awards and that Lesley and Imelda went empty handed.
Gone are the days of youth. Gone are days of feet too, as it happens. 😅😅😅 I swear, only a Brit could come up with a line like that. Brilliant. 😊😊😊
I believe she said "gone are the days of heels" then "gone are the days of feet." Margaret really loved her high heels 😅
Us Brits are the masters of self deprecation and understatement….. 🇬🇧
Leslie Manvile is simply an amazing actress ❤
I had never heard of her before this.
This was extremely difficult to watch as someone whose grandmother suffered a stroke in 2022. Ripped those scabs right off - ugh. It's such a painful experience. Love to all stroke victims 💜
My 45 year old sister had a stroke 8 months ago. I found her. It's awful.
@@raeraebadfingers I was the one to find mine as well... Sending love to you
@@RevolutionaryGlory I hope you are healing from that. It's a pain I haven't learned how to deal with just yet.
@@raeraebadfingers I can only offer a hand to hold
"Seeing as I'm going to be dead soon anyway, I thought I might as well go out with a bang."
Love it
Lesley Manville (Princess Margaret) is one of best actors out there. Why she has never had more leading roles has always a bit of mystery to me. Maybe she likes it that way but she is just terrific in everything she does. I will watch these episodes of The Crown just to see her in action.
She ××××ing slays in "Phantom Thread."
She did have a movie as a main lead called “ Mrs Harris goes to Paris “
I believe she was in “The Magpie Murders”.
“I don’t have handrails anywhere”😊
I love Princess Margaret’s energy! ❤ Party till the end! Such a class act of her time.
On the taxpayers´dime. What is classy about that!
"Have I missed something?"
That should've been on the Queen Mum's tombstone.
The acting is incredible
Man, I don’t know what it is exactly, but something about Margaret using the nickname “Lilibet” when she talks about that night at The Ritz when they were both young just stabs me right in the heart.
That poor poor women
Princess Margaret is the best sister to the queen
Always by her side 😢😢😢😢😢😢👑👑👑👑👑👑👑
For the Queen, yes. But she was a spoiled child/adult for anyone else sadly.
Really? She always seems judgmental and a bit envious.
@@madamebovary7211Because she had the freedom to be herself. She happened to be in a position where she was not obliged to please anybody, not a parent, not a teacher, not a boss, not even strangers to gain friends. She had no one else to please but herself unlike her sister. She was even applauded in popular culture for being more relatable behavior than anyone in the RF, until Diana had the spotlight. I may be more of Lilibeth than her but I know people with Margaret's personality. They are naturally a softy, nice and fun but could come off as b*tchy, narcisist and impatient.
@@athenstar10that last part seems to describe me
@@lineanoves6650 😅
I know how she feels some days. And the queen mum. I love her. "Have I missed something?" Is a saying I will use often! We have a few stroke victims in the family.
Time is the most merciful but also merciless thing in our lives it can heal our scars and kill every beauty.
I’d rather die than exercise. lol. Love her.
Just was gonna say the same thing :D
The best act in the last season!!!
The Queen Mother’s interjections are funny!
Because we love the ritz dont we lilibet this scene made me laugh i could just imagine princess margaret being naughty
Man and that look Elizabeth gave her 😅 “Margaret, if you don’t shut the hell up-“
as seen elsewhere in the series when they partied there in 1945, more or less anonymously
What happened at the Ritz?
@@SepherStar When they were younger they both snuck out to party at the Ritz once.
Queen Mother: I don't have handrails anywhere 😂
Queen Elizabeth: Seriously Mummy ! Now 😒
Anyway I felt sorry for Princess Margaret 🥺 How she suffered from her stroke and she was all alone. She deserves so much better
They couldn't let her marry Townsend and keep her status because of how Uncle David had been treated in exile.
I had a stroke about 15 years ago - One re-learns, swear - have patience, keep trying, never give up ! Brains are amazingly resilient ☠
I wish my sister would have had a better attitude. Last April she had a stroke at 45 and she didn't want to work on recovery. She canceled many appointments. Wasn't seeing a neurologist. Not taking her medications properly. Suffers from left hemiplegia. It's heartbreaking, she just gave up and had no interest in recovery. I hate that I get so angry about it, not ONLY because she wasted so much precious time to recover but because of the burden it has put on me to help. I'm not.. doing well with mental health.. after having found her in bad shape especially.
I have done teamsports all my life - training is something I am familiar with , working on my recovery gave me purpose and agency . It helps if one is a fighter . She has to find that fight within herself, mate . You can help by for example setting her meds up for her and by ruthlessly pushing her to stick with that . Do set limitations for yourself and make sure she knows . Time for some tough love...
And Philip said "You can just throw me on the back of a truck"!!!
Clearly, something went down at the Ritz that, to this day, they don't want their mother to know.
The queen mother felt so sad when princess Margret passed away that she died six weeks later after her daughter death.
The mother of the queen was always referred to as the Queen's Mother
No parent wants to outlive their child.
Same thing happened to Queen Mary with Bertie, aka "King George VI," but by then she lost her two youngest children, John and George. She outlived *three* children. Bertie was likely the final straw for her, but she held on long enough to basically tell the Mountbattens to "bugger off" with their idea that they should be the new Royal House, and that her granddaughter's coronation should not be stopped, put on hold, or anything just because she happen to die before it.
For The Queen Mom, it was doing one final duty to her eldest by being there for her one last time at Margaret's funeral.
@@jenniferwilliams5478-- No. "Queen's mother" is a phrase used for a woman who is the mother of a Queen but never a Queen Consort or "Her Majesty" herself -- such as Queen Victoria's mother.
The official title and style of Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon" after the death of her husband George VI was "Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother."
The glare she gives the queen mother though xD ...
This is part of the reason why I find Season 6 of The Crown a very sad season.
Well IT IS a sad season after all!!
@@Surfing1709yeah everyone died.
Amazing acting, wow! ❤
Amazing performance.
In real life Princess Margret was a person I could not have cared less about but it’s a testament to the incredible actress that is Lesley Manville that her performances as Margret in the final two seasons moved me more than any of the others.
I must have watched the “I’d rather die than do exercise” clip about 15 times 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 bahahahahaha SOOOO relatable-and this she says while sitting in a wheelchair after multiple strokes and her feet numb and effectively useless after a burning incident. She truly was unapologetic and gave ZERO fucks until the very end! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 GOD I LOVE MARGARET! ❤️❤️
I love how 90s that van looks...
You have to be kind to Princess Margaret ,she never had it easy,her mother conspire against her so she couldn’t marry the love of her life ,who was a good men !,then they let her marry the pervert,who make her life miserable,she was a loyal sister till the end,and yes she had fun,what else could she do ?
That's the most sensible comment I've read on this topic. Of course, what could she do? You're not allowed to marry whom you want, you're not allowed to do anything meaningful with your life, you're not allowed to run any charities that might remotely interest you, your job is just to breathe and walk 20 metres behind your sister 2 or 3 times a year, you're basically living in a prison (a golden one, no doubt, but still a prison). You might as well have some bloody fun, otherwise you'd go crazy waiting to die.
Peter Townsend wasn't a good man, he was a married father of two children who was almost 16 years older than Margaret. Considering his position as part of the household staff, getting involved with his employer's teenaged daughter was predatory on his part. Note that he replaced Margaret with an even younger woman following their breakup. But yes, the Queen should've blocked the marriage to Armstrong-Jones also and arranged a suitable man herself - Margaret clearly made bad choices in men.
@@cg8397I agree. He groomed Margaret from age 15! She wasn't allowed to marry him for this reason, they were trying to protect her. He requested adjoining rooms on the royal yacht when Margaret was only 17! Why does nobody see this?
He would have been a better choice than Snowdon who did not like accompanying her on royal visits. Age gap was no different to other royal marriages of convenience like Princess Mary, countess of Harewood they married her off to a wealthy landowner much older though she didn't really want to marry.
Hysterically funny! The ladies really did themselves well here❤
The voice of a stroke victim is right on, a bit fast but correct.
Well Margaret was a royal princess, so perhaps that enhanced her speaking abilities just a bit haha.
Brilliant
If her father king george vi was still alive. He would've been straight by her side giving her a hug telling her everythings okay.
In real life the Queen smiled a lot and showed humour.
In the Crown it's a totally different person
I guess The Crown wanted to humanise her more, considering a lot of the events covered in the series are very personal
if you ask me id say its the opposite in the early seasons with them making her seem perfect when she really wasnt
other way around
What does it mean? These are scenes from her private life.
On point ! All three portrayed her as very serious and hardly smiling ever. The Queen smiled often and joked often. You can see it in documentaries and news reels.
Me arriving home after a heavy night
Princess Margaret was such a fucking icon
To survive the first stroke one has to be strong to survive a second one has to be a G. Princess Margaret was always gangster. Going out with a bang.
@@lauralarrabee7870 she was one tough cookie that’s for sure
1:22 Lizzy dear,
Read the phucking room.
This has so many meme potential
Like this one 2:01
@@TH-camisgettingworse. And 2:40
She had a reckless lifestyle I'm surprised she lived that long
She was rich enough to afford the best private medical care.
@cg8397 Even with that, given all of the drinking, smoking, and unconfirmed drug use, it's a blessing she lived to see 71. Regardless, though, 71 is an incredibly premature age of death for a woman of her generation in the Royal Family, compared to her sister and mother.
Spitting straight facts here 2:01
The Crown, episode, The Ritz: a true masterpiece
The actress playing the Queen Mother looks nothing like her.
I thought it was meant to be Aunt Alice Countess of Athlone who lived to be over 100. 😮
The actress playing margaret deserves an oscar
The Queen Mother made me laugh😂
"I don't have handrails anywhere" 😂😂
Me too lol.💀
The Velcro shoes..
Till the end of the series, the Queen Mother still pisses me off.
The ironic thing is the QM probably would not have made light of the situation irl. She was the one who went against everyone’s advice to attend Margaret’s funeral and died herself not long after.
They had the resources to deal with this. Many other people do not.
The show did the Queen Mother dirty 😭
I’m guessing the woman who was nearly bedridden and took a helicopter from Sandringham to Windsor for her daughters funereal wouldn’t have been this cold and heartless as this scene. I’m sure she had her moments, but this writing was extra cold.
The show did the Queen Mother dirty
She was 100 years old.
She may have been nicer to her daughters but she was a Monster to s lot of people who met her
@@christianbolze2441I fully believe it, but it makes her even more remarkable (remarkable is not the same as kind and good). She managed to remain one of the most consistently popular royals throughout her entire life. Even during the roller coaster of the 90s her popularity remained sky high.
@@corydestein3160Bcz she was a war Queen. She was there to boost the morale of the public during the Blitz.
1:23 "Seriously?"
You can clearly see how horrified and disgusted Elizabeth II appears to her younger sister Margaret while she is having a lot of trouble with herself, while the Queen tries to talk nicely with her manner as if everything was fine.
I didn't see her being disgusted, exactly. More pitying.
Well that scene could be playing out in more than one famjam
I had to turn off the tv during the stroke scene. Can you imagine the pain?
She drove her own sister to drink herself to death purely out of jealousy. She was the beautiful and popular one and that threatening the queen.
Raman la parerea ferma ca primele doua sezoane sunt minunate in descrierea unei fete care poarta pe umeri o povara din ce in ce mai grea,care o apasa pe ea insasi si pe tot ce inconjoara,urmatoarele doua ne arata puterea cu tot ce presupune ea,o lectie extraordinara de constitutionalism si datorie in slujba poporului si a imperiului,dar ultimile doua sezoane sunt un regal actoricesc; Daca primele doua sunt scrise extraordinar, si jucate perfect,distributia si jocul actorilor in sez 5 si 6 sunt de Oscar. Tot ce a fost in primele 40 de episoade cristalizeaza in 5 si 6. Un serial care,dincolo de criticile si supararile familiei regale britanice,le-a facut atata bine incat merita cu totii innobilati pentru asta. De la cele trei regine la ultimul masinist si croitoreasa.
😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
And this is why you give Lesley manville something to do😊
Queen Elizabeth II said "Why you dont try some gentle excercise. You can use the palace pool. Exercise can help with moods too" And Princess Margaret said "Id rather die than exercise" And that was the course what happend when Princess Margaret suffered her second stroke.
1:23 - NOT NOW, MA
Shady pines
From fairies in Maleficent to royal siblings
Oh my god fathers 😢
I've had 3 strokes
The first shortly after I turned 18. While thankful to be alive, the recovery is humiliating.
My sister had a stroke a year ago almost to the day. She didn't take recovery seriously at all, and is now trying to make up for that, and it just isn't working how she wants it to. It's heartbreaking. She didn't want to put in the work. And no one can make a person want to recover, you know? That's a choice people make for themselves.
I wish you the best. I can't imagine a stroke at 18. That had to be terrifying. I hope you have a good support system.
@raeraebadfingers Thank you. I have an amazing support system. My grown sons and my husband of 32 years. God bless you and yours.
Does anybody know what tune Margaret is singing at the end?
"It Ain't My Fault" by Dejan's Olympia Brass Band
@@TAlexander-91 Thank you!
probably a song from when she and her sister were at the Ritz in 1944 or 45
I think what the queen regretted the most in her life, was the way she treated her sister by preventing Margaret from marrying the love of her life because of the archaic rules, pressure from the royal court and parliament....it was downhill for Margaret after that.....
dont talk rot, the queen managed to find a compromise where M could marry her love.
@@glen7318 she didn't....and i am not talking rot, its historical facts...Margaret never recovered from that heartbreak...
Gone are the days of youth and feet😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 i am sorry i can't stop laughing
Gone are days of heels….
That would send me over the edge! I ALWAYS wear heels, unless I’m working out.
bEST episode of the season
In my opinion Margaret not being able to marry peter Townshend caused her to become a raging pisshead in an attempt to drown out the pain i felt very sorry for Margaret after watching this show
Gone are the days of heels......gone are the days of feet lol
2:50
What did the Queen mother mean by - "I don't have handrails anywhere"..???
The Queen Mother didn't need the help of handrails to move around her home. She had walking sticks and loyal servants like Backstairs Billy.
@@cg8397Billy was dumped after she died after fifty years service.
What song is Margaret singing,?
see above
Lesley's face is always reminding me of Betty White's. Something about their facial features
In this scene she reminded me of the stricken Bette Davis.
They're all so pathetically tragic
0:36
I didn't realise that the Queen Mother was actually Grandma Clampett.
She probably wanted to take a hickory stick to Diana and Sarah.
She seemed like she wiuld have veen the life of the party
I loved this scene but since I graduated high school in 2000 in the US, I thought she was busting out Mystikal & Silkk the Shocker "It Ain't My Fault" rap song. Come to find out being from New Orleans, they must've heard the original people did the Jitterbug to in the 40s. 😂
The song didn’t come out until the 60s. That was either a mistake or artistic license on the show’s part
What did Margaret Windsor ever do that was worthy of her title HRH. ?
It was really Margaret Saxe Coburg.
I guess smoking and drinking does shorten the lives of even strong genes.
It was never really clear to me how she burned her feet in the tub, was she drunk, did she have a nurieopathy? Anybody enlighten me?
She had a stroke while taking a shower and so she fell while the hot water was running
She had already had a mild stroke by that point, and so her reaction time imapred. There was a malfunction with the plumbing in her holiday home on Mustique, and when she got into the bath, scalding hot water poured onto her feet.
@@gerardcollins80And she had another stroke and couldn’t get out of the water.
Didn't she have a maid to call to for help 🤔
How did she burn her feet?
Medical treatments can burn the skin.
In the preceding episode, she accidentally scalded them in a hot bath on Mustique when she gripped the hot water tap to try to prevent herself from falling during her 2nd stroke.
Her feet got burned?
Think she got a sunburn because I’m pretty sure she went to her island to recover and she couldn’t move from all the drugs
@@MsTinkerbelle87 She was having a shower when she got her second stroke. Her legs got burnt in the hot water.
Margaret destroyed her own health with her smoking, drinking, rich high fat content food.
But the gurl LIVED…unlike her sister you could even say since the Queen never got a chance to get messy.
@@MemoirsofaBasketcaseYes, but Margaret suffered a great deal of pain in the time before her death (multiple strokes and other health complications, she was in hospital a lot). After she died, her children auctioned off her belongings for financial reasons.
Oh dear do U want to blame her for that? Well well why the hell do U think the populations most mistakes will stop on a royal? All I can say is she has lived a life. Well and what a Life! U dont smoke, drink and eat fat content food and U can die too. She knew what she was doing. But U can of course live a poor Life where No man will have U ever ridden seven days a week and snow riding, flying and other Things of fun. The Warrior of Love and Justice knows that at the end of the day the target itself has to BE lucky. And when she was lucky than that is what matters.
She lived a particular lifestyle. Sadly it caught up with her.
She destroyed herself
Sad but true.
Yes😢
I would rather die young-ish than live into my 80s. My parents feels like holograms of their former selves. Death is natural.
she lived the way she wanted to life it. And that"s the right we all have.
But she lived life to the fullest
