2:44 It is true that the best way to understand a country and a culture is to read its literature but i don't think Mohammed Al Fayed had the patience and the curiosity to tear through the classics, honestly, i doubt it. He was a superficial man who craved recognition and was mostly interested in the decorum.
In spite of the title and uniform, Sydney Johnson clearly was employed more as a consultant than a valet. Plus, I'm sure Al-Fayed payed him at least double what the Duke of Windsor did when he was alive, considering how relatively wealthier he was. I'd say Johnson got a pretty sweet deal.
“The valley of the king!” Lol
He was valued and appreciated by the Duke, but merely tolerated by the Duchess: that says it all.
He stayed on in this capacity until a year after the Duke’s death in 1972. The Duchess wanted to dismiss him. At that time, Johnson’s wife had died, and he asked for more time off to care for his children. So you know what that wicked old hag did? She fired him.
Despite Johnson’s fondness of the royal couple, he would have been treated as a servant in those times, and the Duchess’ view of him would likely have been influenced by her Baltimore roots, and the racial segregation that was a codified way of life there and across the USA.
In the end, she got a very nice surprise from her lawyer. You reap what you sow.
Keep it coming with the crown videos please
What bothers me the most about this scene is that Mohamed Al Fayed didn't even want Sydney anywhere near him, until he needed him. If I was Sydney I wouldn't want to be anyone's valet, to be at someone's beck and call 24 hours a day, forget it!
That's just being rich, sadly.
Because he saw people as tools to get him into power. Wives, sons, employees were just pieces to his puzzle of power.
To be fair, in the show he did grow fond of him eventually. He assisted him until he passed away and cried on his deathbed.
I think you also have to take in consideration the situation of times. If you lived in that era for example chances of you being a racist would be more than not. I think this was beautiful. Regardless of times regardless of racism he couldn't help but eventually love Sydney. Plus Sydney looks quite happy to get opportunity
i think he's aware a lot of rich people are like this
The sad thing is that Mr AL-Fayed was prejudiced against Sydney .And the British Aristocrats never excepted him .Starting with the late queen herself who race relationships were tenuous as well as problematic. And dismissed for the service of the crown.

I find it kind of ironic that British aristocracy were prejudiced against the self-made Egyptian businessman just like he, himself, was prejudiced against the dark-skinned valet ...
Perhaps, the lesson of the story is : don't be prejudiced against anyone and be yourself.

Weird - he should be proud to be Egyptian, not pretend to be British.
It's because Mohammad Al Fayed had a *huge* reason to break in to UK society to further his business interests. Best to start at the top 👑

Well, it's not uncommon for people who grew up in third-world countries (most of which were under British rule for a long time) to develop an inferiority complex toward Britain and most generally toward Europe and the "civilized" West.
The weirdest scene for me is his discomfort about the tea ceremony. Egyptians have a traditional tea culture (although it's different from the British one), this was an experience a normal Egyptian would have enjoyed.
Why on earth would you be proud to be Egyptian, after having your country trashed by the British and then corruption after corruption
Especially these days, the UK is dying
Pra mim esse e Casa Ipatiev são os melhores episódios da quinta temporada
The Americans are easy going,buisness minded,don't give two hoots about etiquettes and while they are quite blunt while talking about different race but where there is money ,they won't see race ,creed anything
The British are not much buisness minded,but care more about etiquettes,clothes,how you eat ,how you dress,how you speak,what's your class,status,manners
The British not business minded? where on earth did you get that idea from
