The final season returned a more beloved version of the Queen to us. The relationship between the sisters especially so. The final episode was deeply moving and she gave her back her soul.
A sentimental ending does not forgive the horrible things she did to her poor sister. I originally baulked at The Crown but was hooked after just one episode. It is brilliantly shot and acted. However, the most important lesson I learned was that the entire family are rotten to the core!
@@glenmale1748 how were you privy to their conversations? I suppose you wouldn't be so certain from just watching fictionalised versions of their life? Oh wait.
When I, ( a Canadian) heard the news that our Queen had died, I pulled over the car, and cried for a long time, on the side of the Upper Island Highway. She was a constant, my whole life, and our Late Mother, whom had just passed away, was named after the Queen. I was so happy that our late Mother never lived in a world without her Queen, born weeks before our Mother.
Fellow Canadian. I didn’t cry but I did feel a sense of loss. I think because she was such a constant growing up. She’s on our money, she used to be in our classrooms. You kind of got the impression she would be around forever and when she wasn’t, it was a bit of a shock.
My online friend is Canadian who was adopted but her “parents” died young and she never had a family. She found the Queen to be a common bond with others and still follows the Royal Family avidly.
I have always felt the closest people to us (in England) are in fact the people of Canada. I have been there several times, and what surprises me is that they are incredibly unalike their neighbours to the south. The Canadians are, as I say, very close to Britian in many ways, and things British, and your reaction to the loss of her Majesty is a mirror image of what occurred here....thank you.
I was 70 when Elizabeth II died and she had been the Queen my whole life. It was the first time I had cried in years and felt like I had lost my mom a second time.
I adore Imelda Swanson. She is a brilliant actress and I can’t imagine how difficult those days after Her Majesty passed were for her to continue. So interesting to hear her experience.
You can still see the residual upset & emotional journey we all took in those 10 Days in 2022; I was in the Queue on Thursday night Friday morning and the tears came flooding out after I walk away from Westminster Hall - there wasn't a dry eye in the place as you took your turn to bow your head before the Crown, sceptre, orb and coffin.
One of the best TV shows of recent memory. So well done. Amazing actors throughout. Imelda is an absolutely impeccable actress, full of class and dignity.
That final episode was gorgeous and I can only imagine how much it affected everyone in the cast. Brilliant job by Ms Staunton. She did such an incredible job.
I can only imagine how challenging that must have been for everyone on set. It felt like the world was in limbo for months. Thank you so much, Imelda, for persevering, and giving us such a wonderful tribute to remember what an extraordinary and complex woman she was..
I feel sorry for Imelda, she is such a terrific actress and the fact that some people have type-casted her as Umbridge from Harry Potter not even willing to give her the chance to prove her worth in other forms of work and to play a role such as the modern queen whilst the real queen was pronounced dead. I tip my hat to Imelda and her incredible talents I really do
I'm the opposite -- and possibly a better test: I knew Imelda Staunton from lots of roles, like the nurse in Shakespeare in Love or the mom who'd lost a child in Peter's friends: characters I liked or cared about. When my beloved TOLD me she was Umbridge, I still didn't recognize her as the same person. Skillz.
Imelda Staunton is an incredible actress. I saw her perform as Martha in " Who's afraid of Virginia Woolf" opposite Conleth Hill. She held the stage for over two hours with the most brutal dialogue. I had taken a young friend based on her Harry Potter work, she was so brilliant onstage we decided that to allude to that at the stage door would be an insult! Seriously,if you can get to see her on stage, Do. I wasn't smitten with her Queen Elizabeth initially, however the final scene had me in bits, beautifully done.
Just explaining to the audience was hard for her. Haven't finished watching the final episodes yet, but it's very real. I forget its not actually Lilibet. You carried her dignity so well in your performance Imelda. Merry Christmas to all ♡
I can't imagine what that was like for Imelda and for the people seeing her play the Queen just after losing her. What an amazing experience for Imelda.
Omg I was thinking the same thing..I’ve avoided season 5 and 6 cuz I couldn’t not see her as Umbridge…but this made me see her in a different light and I’m gonna watch them very soon
@@JacquelineMeHofferbergah true. But sometimes I find it difficult to look past a character and see the actor. Same goes for Al Pacino. That’s The Godfather. And James Earl Jones is just Darth Vader 😃😬
Oh melodrama! I cannot understand how she was ever cast, she looked (even in makeup and costume) absolutely nothing like the Queen. Also, whilst I'm an admirer of Lesley Manville in comedic roles, she was dreadful as Margaret. It's not difficult, with the wealth of acting talent we have, to cast people who can imaginatively represent real characters.
I had just lost my beloved mother the month before, August 17th, at 93. It was like losing her all over again. So much has changed in my life since my mother’s passing. I miss both of them!
As an American living in the middle of Arizona, and someone who very much doesn't consider myself a royalist. When I heard the queen died, the first thing I did was to BLAST God save the Queen in my car. It legitimately brought me to tears.
I haven't seen the movie, but knowing Imelda is in it will make me watch it. An actress I have a lot respect for. Still remember how she felt about playing Umbridge. I recall she even omce asked the director "How could anyone be this evil?". A woman with a heart of gold.
@@hexslayer363not exactly rude. The Queen made a few statements that indicated she disliked Americans. Which is an understandable sensibility, all history considered.
@@Ionabrodie69 impeccable taste is what you are taught about all of them. Your government certainly does like the benefits they receive from the American taxpayers, and the current Prince of Wales has visited the USA more frequently than any other country (especially after his brother moved there). That is where one starts to prevent “mixing”
Seeing actors as themselves completely blows my mind! How she plays the charge in Harry Potter, I couldn’t stand her! She did amazing in the crown. But seeing her here it tells you how good of an actress she really is. 👏
QEll was the only Queen I ever knew in my lifetime...My last & most impacting recollection of HM were what ended up being the final photos of the Queen "on the job"--the ones that people commented on the bruises on her right wrist...shortly afterward, HM decided to go to Scotland...😢 DUTY was her mantra...she always said she would fulfill her duty to the very end...Country & her People 1st....RIP...😢
This is a true example of the British resolve to "carry on". Imelda mentioned that she had spent so much time with the Queen, a necessary part of playing a living person - so she got to know the Queen as many of us could not, and I'm sure she fell in love with Elizabeth's personality, including her wit.
I adore Imelda Staunton. I would love to have lunch with her and discuss her wonderful family and all the sheer talent and warmth they bring to the table. (Her handsome husband played Mr. Carson on Downton Abbey, and their daughter plays on Bridgerton.) Sense and Sensibility (1995) has always been a fave of mine, with Imelda playing the silly chatterbox, Charlotte, wife of a longsuffering Hugh Laurie (Dr. House.) 😂
We all know she would eventually die but she seemed so stable to live forever. We almost fooled ourselves into her immortality. To move from Queen to Kings is a hard thing to handle as well.
Imelda Staunton is such a wonderful actress. I just loved her performance in The Crown, but it was so hard to believe this was the same silly, fluttery, airhead that she played as Hugh Laurie's wife in Sense and Sensibility. Remarkable.
Whenever I see Imelda, I feel a sense of rage, hatred and disgust. 'coz I see her as Professor Umbridge, and I despise her with my every being. So I know for a fact Imelda is a great actor. And she plays her roles well.
My reaction to her Majaesty's death, was a mix, on the one hand I was shocked but at the same time, I wasn't, the minute she said she was retiring from public scene and spending her days in Windsor Castle, I knew our time with her was going to be short
Just finished watching S6 and think Imelda got the late Queen to a tee including her sense of humour (Charles and Camilla wedding speech). Much better than Coleman which was dowdy (but I think that was down to the script more than the actress). The actors that played Diana and the older William were also good. Still think the series should of had "Loosely based on true events" as a precursor to each episode. I wonder where they filmed St George's Chapel or was that created in a studio set?
We all know it is loosely based as we all know that no one could possibly know of any true conversations or behind closed doors happenings unless we were told directly of them. Also the internet is your friend in fact checking.
Imelda Staunton did a wonderful job of portraying the Queen. I believe her passing caused such grief because, like her father before her, she executed her duties with a sense of dignity, honor, and occassionally humor. I can't say that her son, the current King, is up to her standards.
As an American I was surprised when they said she was gone. She was like Betty White…Even tho we knew they’d pass away we were still crushed and surprised when that day came.”
For a long time, as the price of Chanel increased, I no longer thought I could afford it. I think I'll be happy that I have the kislux as my travel bag that I don't have to take care of. By the way, I'm sure no one will have a hard time telling the difference. Thanks for the comparison.
Hell I'm not even British and her funeral made me tear up. Especially at the end and the lone piper. If she had more powers than just a figure head I'm sure england would be much better off nowadays.
Of course it would’ve been a lot harder for those working with Imelda to see her “in character”, as Queen Elizabeth, after HM passed away. Imelda could separate herself from it, as she described. If I’d been working on set the day after the funeral I would’ve been 😭
Good Evening, ERNIE.....Out on the Liffey ringing any bells, Sweetie.......August 2002...You are Delightful.....I personally SOBBED for ten minutes when I'd discovered that HM had passed.....I'm afraid I had to take a short leave from my work that day and let it all out before calling my Stuart Cousin, Dougie C. in Canton...he just said: Yes, yes...I said: She was the ONLY Monarch that we've ever known.
i dont think they really have to bring up that small role for her up in every interview she has been doing since the release of the harry potter films.
You may have found it shocking to watch Umbridge playing a doting, regal grandmother. But all you had to do was to watch the BBC David Copperfield where she played also a doting granny figure to Harry Potter, and then you realise… She’s a chameleon.
Funny how really nice people played very bad people in Harry Potter. The cast loved Imelda and they all agreed that Tom Felton was the nicest guy on Earth. Imelda went from the Queen of Mean in Harry Potter to the Real Queen in the Crown.
Strange feeling it would have been to play the past and present of real figure who was still alive and then have the script adjusted to accommodate the passing of the that person. Imelda has always been class and a first class actress.
I love how her and Pryce copied Claire and Matt's mannerisms. After that horrid casting and writing of 3-4, the last seasons finally feel like a continuation of the first two
@risingphoenix8072 that was one of my faves as well. HM knew the parents' grief as she though about her own children and what she would have felt if that had happened to their school
All three actors (Imelda, Olivia, and Claire) were perfectly cast for Elizabeth. The entire cast over the span of her life was amazing.
no , Imelda was very bad.Only on the last episod she left The Harry Potter carather ! Olivia and Claire were perfect!!!
The final episode was incredibly moving. Well done.
Truly amazing
Amazing acting!
It was a love letter to the late Queen. They deserve an award for that season. She was the best actress, and her storyline was captivating.
It was soooo good
The final season returned a more beloved version of the Queen to us. The relationship between the sisters especially so. The final episode was deeply moving and she gave her back her soul.
LMFAO
A sentimental ending does not forgive the horrible things she did to her poor sister.
I originally baulked at The Crown but was hooked after just one episode. It is brilliantly shot and acted. However, the most important lesson I learned was that the entire family are rotten to the core!
She did her duty. Which as Monarch she had to do. Her Sister knew that. For her, duty came first.
I hated the queen in the last season. So detached and unrelatable.
@@glenmale1748 how were you privy to their conversations? I suppose you wouldn't be so certain from just watching fictionalised versions of their life? Oh wait.
She did a fantastic job in the role - ALL the actresses did - loved that season, as well as all of the others.

@@mrxxbrianit was not exactly a small role though...
And they bring up Harry Potter with almost every actor who was in it.

It must have felt like a bizarre surreal thing to play an actual person to then learn of their death and to resume playing them days later
I was pretty inconsolable myself when she died!
I was very sad to hear of Queen Elizabeth’s passing.
Would love to know what scene she filmed the day after the funeral
Love Graham at the end, having blatantly never watched.
wtf?
You may have found it shocking to watch Umbridge playing a doting, regal grandmother. But all you had to do was to watch the BBC David Copperfield where she played also a doting granny figure to Harry Potter, and then you realise…
She’s a chameleon.
She sounds incredibly nervous
❤
Wi❤
I love how imelda Staunton can equally play a serene ruler as well as an erratic fascist.
What does she mean by "The shape walked on." - who or what is The Shape?
The shape of The Queen. She is saying her own portrayal of the Queen made everyone around her upset, because it was the day after The Queen's funeral.
She's such a great actress that I actually hate her for her role in Harry Potter. I still hate Diane Lane, same reason.
Funny how really nice people played very bad people in Harry Potter. The cast loved Imelda and they all agreed that Tom Felton was the nicest guy on Earth. Imelda went from the Queen of Mean in Harry Potter to the Real Queen in the Crown.

hotly anticipated? another nail in the coffin.
Strange feeling it would have been to play the past and present of real figure who was still alive and then have the script adjusted to accommodate the passing of the that person. Imelda has always been class and a first class actress.
Why did she know her
She could pass for Judi Dench's younger sister. Staunton is a bit more expressive. A bit more body language.
Judi Dench has always been my favorite actor. But now, I see Imelda is just more versatile and talented and has made Judi my second favorite.
I love how her and Pryce copied Claire and Matt's mannerisms. After that horrid casting and writing of 3-4, the last seasons finally feel like a continuation of the first two
Agree, though Aberfan remains my favorite episode.
