I still can't believe The Crown left out the time Princess Anne was almost abducted. A man pointed a gun at her and she told him to bugger off. That's her most legendary moment.
If I recall correctly, they left it out because they had a contract for a certain number of episodes for each, and there just was not enough room to include everything, even something like the kidnapping.
as a matter of fact, she would've LOVED it there...but back then it was still 'boys only'. But both Zara and Peter attended Gordonstoun, Peter even being Head Boy.
Them asking the most laid back of them all to be “unemotional, rational and calm”, deserved that come back. “As opposed to what? The hysterical and neurotic way I normally behave?”
it wouldn't have mattered. Boys came before girls until 2015. If Elizabeth had a younger brother instead of sister she would've never been Queen herself.
@@blucat016 yep, it couldn't have been any other brother, Edward never seemed to get into trouble (some things never change) and Andrew could do as he pleased with no repercussions for the most part (and some do)
The scene of her in the car, singing along to Bowie, thru to her reporting back to the family, was definitely one of the best scenes of the season! I wish they had covered more of Anne in the 70's. She did such amazing things (Olympic team, etc) for anyone, but especially a full time senior royal! She deserved atleast one episode devoted to her and her achievements.
I think we just got Andrew in 2 episodes and we never see Fergie just hear about her. We see Edward only ONCE and we've never seen Margaret's children Sarah and David at all. But ANNE steals every scene she's in.
Still can't believe they didn't put her epic kidnapping on screen. Dude shot her driver and put a gun to her face teliing her to get out of the car and she literally said "no thank you." During an interview afterwards, she was as cool as you please about the whole thing.
This was a great travesty for which I will never forgive the creator of this series. My only hope is that they have this actress back for a flashback for that scene in the next season.
As ig Anne was any better tho pot calling the Kettle black outta everyone Edward and Diana and Sophie have been the most hands on parents and edwards a dam prince.
Anne was the only one who could get away with that with the Queen. If Charles had said the same thing, directly insulting the Queen's frigid mothering, she would've bitten his head off. But with Anne, the Queen just allowed her to spool that insult on and on. LOL...

Princess Anne is one of those people who does what the family wants but tries to do it upon her own accord. Is also still blunt and still outspoken. She’s the Princess Margaret of her generation.
The story goes when Anne and Margaret were told they would eventually be expected to curtsey to Diana if Charles were present (Princess of Wales rank), they both said something similar to "like hell I will, she wasn't born royal."

Sophie (his wife) actually got caught in a big scandal a few years ago, selling access to the queen 😬 and there’s been rumours that he’s actually gay… compared to his brothers though, he’s pretty tame lol
@@mattep74 ‘Often with him’? Are you kidding me? The press never follows those 2 anywhere. No pictures of their children. They are ghosts within the royal family. Why? Because for the longest time every one believed he was a homosexual.
Princess Anne, aka HRH The Princess Royal, always was a bit of a rebel. She dated Andrew Parker Bowles, until Camilla Shand snatched him away... Anne married dashing, but cheating, Mark Phillips. She didn't want her two kids to be burdened with titles, so they grew up without royal duties... Anne got rid of her husband. Later she married a naval officer. Anne har always been known for being a rather frumpy dresser. She was more stylish in her youth. And for her directness. Just like her father. She works harder for "The Firm" than any of her brothers. She would actually make a far better next monarch than Charles...
@@ninaelsbethgustavsen2131 not necessarily. I dont think she'd want all that attention. she says so repeatedly she hates the media in the show. so, not a good idea
@@ninaelsbethgustavsen2131 Charles has also worked pretty hard, but since he had a Duchy of his own to run and several foundations to work at, it was less visibly royal than Anne, who had less responsibility. Still, Charles managed to turn the Duchy into a billion pound business and also did amazing work with the Prince's Trust.
An Emmy-worthy performance across the board. This actor should have been recognized for one of the best supporting performances in a show, hands down. She nailed it.
It's strange how there is a clear difference to how Princess Margaret and Princess Anne are. Both are second born both people would have preferred to have been next in line yet the nuisances to their duty and responsibilities are night and day
Why would anyone have preferred Margaret to be next in line, instead of Elizabeth? Elizabeth is far better suited to the throne. Or did you mean Margaret as opposed to Charles? (If Elizabeth had had no children.)
Sorry, but I would have never preferred a party girl like Margaret to be in line for the throne, monarchy wouldnt have survived for one day if Margaret was queen as she had no sense of duty
My favorite scene was when she relayed to her mum how she told reporters to “Naff off!” Or more precisely “NYYYAAAFFFF OFF!” in that deliciously posh way of adding a “y” in front of vowels.
It's breath-taking how extraordinarily accurate the portrayal of Princess Anne is - particularly the voice. Erin Doherty clearly did her homework for this role. Incredible.
It was inevitable that Season 4 would focus on the Charles-Camilla-Diana drama-which was, don’t get me wrong, splendidly handled-but I wish we had more focus than we did on Princess Anne. She was the unsung hero of Seasons 3 & 4, and I loved every scene she was in.
I think she would make amazing queen. The only deserved throne holder after the death of her majesty Queen Elizabeth. RIP to the queen. Her daughter is the deserved candidate.
Met her years and years ago when I was volunteering for the RDA at the time was unable to bow as I was leading a horse and stood with his head leaning on my shoulder she saw the funny side of my predicament and told me not to move as it seemed the horse had gone to sleep and it might startle him if I did so. I did, however, bow my head and her comment back was in humour "Better than nothing but between you and me I've seen worse!" And then moved on that did make me laugh later on never forgot it either. She certainly is a character and yes a legend too.
My favorite fact about her is, beside her being almost kidnapped and her reply to the gunman was "no, thank you", the fact that her mother basically banned her from remarrying and she didn't even flinch. She got married in Scotland (where the Queen had no power, as the monarch is only the head of the Church of England)
Why, whats so great about being rebellious?? What if we all were rebellious, what would happen to society? Why do people in west hate order but love chaos? The Queen was never rebellious, and yet she was great and iconic. There is nothing wrong to respect the rules
@@GodisMyNo1 Don't be so dramatic. Rebellious here is not used so literally, you pillock. It's in the context of fun and harmless. And don't be a racist. You dare generalizing the billions of western people by reading, or should I say, misinterpretating a one single comment from the person above you? Grow up
Love it. I'm keeping this one in my favs. 💯 The more disdained they are, the more I enjoy it 😉 . She's clever and very straightforward, unarguabliy the favorite of Prince Philip and I believe she was depicted softer than how she is in real life.
I wish they focused more on Anne than the love triangle. I really appreciate the show for diving into Diana's psyche, especially as it pertains to her eating disorder, but the triangle itself is a tired story. Only Anne she'd new light on it by pointing out that even Diana (understandably) broke her wedding vows. I get that Charles is the next crown, but I find these other family members far more interesting (like older Philip and young Margaret) and would like to see more of how being a royal impacted their lives too. Anne was almost kidnapped and gets to be a royal child who was allowed to divorce. How does all that get skipped over? Her first marriage would've been a great contrast to Charles' situation, and the kidnapping grounds the show and its viewers in what's really important when it comes to keeping the family safe in order to help help the monarchy going. She's also a better example of who should've been the crown. Contrasting her attitude to Charles and the sacrifices that are necessary to maintain order would've been nice to see more of. I sympathize with Charles and his situation in general and on the show, and I think the actor does a really great job of portraying Charles the person, not just Charles the cheater, but at the end of the day we see that Charles is not emotionally well suited for the role so far. To see what goes into creating someone more like Anne seems necessary.
Same. I like crown bcs of the stories involving lesser known royals on the first place. It got tiredsome when they reached love triangle arc. There were plenty of films covering that, it's repetitive
The selection of scenes was superb, but the best thing, the very best thing about this video were the added thought bubbles. Bravo! They should make another version of The Crown with these added throughout. BTW, I play a drinking game while watching the series. Every “wut?!” requires a shot. And no matter what else happens, one must keep up with Margaret’s drinking.
Roasted? people knew before this show how King Charles the Third is! Sadly, if he abdicates, the crown will pass to his firstborn son. I do not know if Prince William will be a fine King
My Dad had met the Princess Royal on a couple of occasions, and he told me they had a cup of tea together at which point she scooped all the sugar out of the bottom of the cup and ate it with a tea spoon, very down to earth, apparently.
I love her delivery, how it cuts through the chaff, the facade, the veneer, and strikes directly at the heart of it without even a hint of fanfare. Brilliance with a dash of stiff upper lip.
Of the best characters in the series, in the top 3. I would have liked to see her a lot more. In real life I am very funny how the whole world observes, criticizes and laughs at this family who believe themselves to be gods on Earth.
I still can't believe The Crown left out the time Princess Anne was almost abducted. A man pointed a gun at her and she told him to bugger off. That's her most legendary moment.
I haven't watched The Crown but I watched this expecting to see that in particular!! They didn't put it in? That's nuts.

Not true. Up until his secretive marriage rumors had it that he was a closeted homosexual. One of the main reason we never see his ‘family’.
@@loriannwhite8384 sophie is often with him. His daighter spoke about her grandfather
@@mattep74 ‘Often with him’? Are you kidding me? The press never follows those 2 anywhere. No pictures of their children. They are ghosts within the royal family. Why? Because for the longest time every one believed he was a homosexual.
@@loriannwhite8384 why is being gay a scandal? it’s just a sexuality.
She's so underrated !!
I love how Anne's eyeroll during the suitability questions just conveys everything she's thinking, "Oh God what has Charles done this time?"
I know very little about Princess Anne in real life, but I love her character in this show. The actress playing her is wonderful as well.
Princess Anne, aka HRH The Princess Royal, always was a bit of a rebel. She dated Andrew Parker Bowles, until Camilla Shand snatched him away...
Anne married dashing, but cheating, Mark Phillips.
She didn't want her two kids to be burdened with titles, so they grew up without royal duties...
Anne got rid of her husband.
Later she married a naval officer.
Anne har always been known for being a rather frumpy dresser. She was more stylish in her youth.
And for her directness. Just like her father.
She works harder for "The Firm" than any of her brothers. She would actually make a far better next monarch than Charles...
@@ninaelsbethgustavsen2131 Thanks for all the info. Very interesting!
@@ninaelsbethgustavsen2131 not necessarily. I dont think she'd want all that attention. she says so repeatedly she hates the media in the show. so, not a good idea
@@ninaelsbethgustavsen2131 Charles has also worked pretty hard, but since he had a Duchy of his own to run and several foundations to work at, it was less visibly royal than Anne, who had less responsibility. Still, Charles managed to turn the Duchy into a billion pound business and also did amazing work with the Prince's Trust.
FINALLY the crown compilation the people NEEDED
3:11 I like how she’s implying that all three of them are fucked…because they are lmaooo
Edward turned out alright!
Edward is much better than Anne
I'd imagine the royal family watching this show and while everyone else is complaining about their characters, Anne is all satisfied with hers
Erin was such a great find. Kudos to the casting department.
She even looks like Tobias Menzies, honestly perfectly cast father-daughter duo
"Can't I have 1 normal child?"
Wait until you find out what your 3rd child will become when he grows up.
A quick reminder to Americans that The Crown is NOT a documentary.
An Emmy-worthy performance across the board. This actor should have been recognized for one of the best supporting performances in a show, hands down. She nailed it.
I think she was the son Prince Philip always wanted🥺😌❤️.
Whoever added the annotations did a splendid job!
the way the actress who portrays Princesse Anne looks like her ✨ i really loved her during those two season ❤️
Bless her.. Erin Doherty and The Princess Royal.
Anne’s just point blank a legend
I love the Queen's thought bubble towards the end of the sequence, "Can't I have one normal child?"
I just love how she describe Charles
It's strange how there is a clear difference to how Princess Margaret and Princess Anne are. Both are second born both people would have preferred to have been next in line yet the nuisances to their duty and responsibilities are night and day
Why would anyone have preferred Margaret to be next in line, instead of Elizabeth? Elizabeth is far better suited to the throne. Or did you mean Margaret as opposed to Charles? (If Elizabeth had had no children.)
Sorry, but I would have never preferred a party girl like Margaret to be in line for the throne, monarchy wouldnt have survived for one day if Margaret was queen as she had no sense of duty
It is evident that Anne is more of a queen material than Charles.
I dont think Charles is Queen material at all.
@@xerex21212 Okay, sovereign material.
except she hates the media, she wouldnt last a year being queen because she'd hate all the attention. I dont agree.
@@genxx2724 He's not that either.
@@ac6418 Agreed.
My favorite scene was when she relayed to her mum how she told reporters to “Naff off!” Or more precisely “NYYYAAAFFFF OFF!” in that deliciously posh way of adding a “y” in front of vowels.
It's breath-taking how extraordinarily accurate the portrayal of Princess Anne is - particularly the voice. Erin Doherty clearly did her homework for this role. Incredible.
It was inevitable that Season 4 would focus on the Charles-Camilla-Diana drama-which was, don’t get me wrong, splendidly handled-but I wish we had more focus than we did on Princess Anne. She was the unsung hero of Seasons 3 & 4, and I loved every scene she was in.
The actress portraying Anne is absolutely marvelous, she has captured her perfectly! I hope she won an award for her performance.😃
My favorite line is when she told the queen about the tour that the queen took on australia by saying on the 18th century or whenever you went😂
Anne understands how important to be a touching, CARING mother…and told her mother just that. Wow!
I think she would make amazing queen. The only deserved throne holder after the death of her majesty Queen Elizabeth. RIP to the queen. Her daughter is the deserved candidate.
Met her years and years ago when I was volunteering for the RDA at the time was unable to bow as I was leading a horse and stood with his head leaning on my shoulder she saw the funny side of my predicament and told me not to move as it seemed the horse had gone to sleep and it might startle him if I did so. I did, however, bow my head and her comment back was in humour "Better than nothing but between you and me I've seen worse!" And then moved on that did make me laugh later on never forgot it either. She certainly is a character and yes a legend too.
I still think to this day Anne should be next for the throne she has the best ability out of all of her siblings to lead
'we need to talk about your brother'
'which one I have three' gets me 🤣🤣
Thank you for this - this was straight up EPIC and on the mark!
My favorite line is the last one "Can't I have one normal child". Thanks for the translations - even my daughter understood them!
Thanks. Awsome compilation of a most fascinating character and a sound performance by this actress.
4:19 "Can't I have 1 normal child?"
That would be Prince Edward, Earl of Wessex.
he'll be Duke of Edinburgh as was planned between the late queen and Charles III.
@@jordanvalencia9597 Seems appropriate.
My favorite fact about her is, beside her being almost kidnapped and her reply to the gunman was "no, thank you", the fact that her mother basically banned her from remarrying and she didn't even flinch. She got married in Scotland (where the Queen had no power, as the monarch is only the head of the Church of England)
“Can’t I have one normal child” I think Edward is as normal as they’ll get 😂
The premise for a spinoff, of which we are undeserving, but desperately need.
Anne should be the next queen!
“As long as he’s prepared for there to always be 3 ppl in that marriage” Oh the irony 🙃
She's amazing !!
Philip without question being like „of course Anne is my favourite child“ is one of my favourite moments in this show
Lol I love the fact she's just as rebellious as her aunt Margaret was 😂
Why, whats so great about being rebellious?? What if we all were rebellious, what would happen to society? Why do people in west hate order but love chaos? The Queen was never rebellious, and yet she was great and iconic. There is nothing wrong to respect the rules
@@GodisMyNo1 Don't be so dramatic. Rebellious here is not used so literally, you pillock. It's in the context of fun and harmless. And don't be a racist. You dare generalizing the billions of western people by reading, or should I say, misinterpretating a one single comment from the person above you?
Grow up
@@GodisMyNo1relax
Can we just have Anne be the next monarch? She seems much more emotionally prepared for the job.
Pick the Head of State based on merit? What a silly idea.
@@Sphere723 ikr, goes against the laws of gods and men to pick the "realm's delight".
@@Sphere723 Lol
"Can't I have 1 normal child". ...Epic!!!! 😂🤣
"Can't I have 1 normal child," slayed me 😂😂😂
Love it. I'm keeping this one in my favs. 💯 The more disdained they are, the more I enjoy it 😉 . She's clever and very straightforward, unarguabliy the favorite of Prince Philip and I believe she was depicted softer than how she is in real life.
I wish they focused more on Anne than the love triangle. I really appreciate the show for diving into Diana's psyche, especially as it pertains to her eating disorder, but the triangle itself is a tired story. Only Anne she'd new light on it by pointing out that even Diana (understandably) broke her wedding vows. I get that Charles is the next crown, but I find these other family members far more interesting (like older Philip and young Margaret) and would like to see more of how being a royal impacted their lives too. Anne was almost kidnapped and gets to be a royal child who was allowed to divorce. How does all that get skipped over? Her first marriage would've been a great contrast to Charles' situation, and the kidnapping grounds the show and its viewers in what's really important when it comes to keeping the family safe in order to help help the monarchy going. She's also a better example of who should've been the crown. Contrasting her attitude to Charles and the sacrifices that are necessary to maintain order would've been nice to see more of. I sympathize with Charles and his situation in general and on the show, and I think the actor does a really great job of portraying Charles the person, not just Charles the cheater, but at the end of the day we see that Charles is not emotionally well suited for the role so far. To see what goes into creating someone more like Anne seems necessary.
Same. I like crown bcs of the stories involving lesser known royals on the first place. It got tiredsome when they reached love triangle arc. There were plenty of films covering that, it's repetitive
How is understandably that Diana was a cheater? Women in west truly have no shame at all
1:25 is serious sister energy. "That's for having a hard time of it recently. And that's for being a jackass about it."
The selection of scenes was superb, but the best thing, the very best thing about this video were the added thought bubbles. Bravo! They should make another version of The Crown with these added throughout.
BTW, I play a drinking game while watching the series. Every “wut?!” requires a shot. And no matter what else happens, one must keep up with Margaret’s drinking.
You need to do a Prince Phillip being a sass master for however long throughout all the seasons.
On my list!
Love the captions, especially where The Queen Mother looks at Mountbatten like.....
"Can't i have 1 normal child?!"😭😭😭
I love when she says ‘Don’t be a misery guts’ 😂
Hello! How are u?
hilarious add-ins, made my evening, thank you!
Long live Princess 👸 Anne ❗️❗️
Charles becoming king after being roasted in this show is insane
Roasted? people knew before this show how King Charles the Third is! Sadly, if he abdicates, the crown will pass to his firstborn son. I do not know if Prince William will be a fine King
Am I the only one who started to resent her after Diana came into the picture? She seemed so jealous and bitter as well, properly Charles sister
yep yep, agreed
Princess Anne deserves so much more
My Dad had met the Princess Royal on a couple of occasions, and he told me they had a cup of tea together at which point she scooped all the sugar out of the bottom of the cup and ate it with a tea spoon, very down to earth, apparently.
Anne, the best Queen we never had.
The Princess Royal is a badass and truly her father’s daughter.
I love her delivery, how it cuts through the chaff, the facade, the veneer, and strikes directly at the heart of it without even a hint of fanfare. Brilliance with a dash of stiff upper lip.
The actress who played Anne was BRILLIANT and Anne herself is FANTASTIC
Anne is my British spirit animal.
Of the best characters in the series, in the top 3. I would have liked to see her a lot more.
In real life I am very funny how the whole world observes, criticizes and laughs at this family who believe themselves to be gods on Earth.
1:25 is siblings in a nutshell.
