Fun fact: unlike the other three ladies in this scene (Queen Mary, Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother and Queen Elizabeth II), Alice was actually born in Windsor Castle.
I find it interesting that from the very beginning Queen Mary saw the inner strength of Elizabeth. While watching the series the Queen Mother questioned Elizabeth’s decision and attempted to meddle. But from before the beginning Mary could see that Elizabeth could hold her own. I wonder what Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth’s relationship was like in real life.
In real life, Phillip's mother Princess Alice did not wear a nun's habit at their wedding. She was the founder of a nursing order of Greek Orthodox nuns in 1949, and she did wear a nun's habit during Elizabeth's coronation in 1953.
The jumped up arrogance of Elizabeth, the Queen Consort is really annoying. She was only the daughter of a minor Scottish Aristocrat, whilst Philip was born a Prince and was directly related to Queen Victoria!
Come to think of it, prince Philips family really suffered. His family had to go in exile, when there was a military coup. Phillip himself was a toddler.
Hard to believe that John Lithgow ( from the super funny show 3rd Rock from The Sun, as well as Lord Farquaad from Shrek) was Winston Churchill! Nice to seem him play a serious role!
Prince Phillip’s mom was a badass! She could speak several languages despite being deaf. And helped house people from the Nazis! They did her so dirty in the series.
"You know why his sisters aren't here, they are all married to Nazi's prominent Nazi's" Churchill had no chill man. LOL. Also taking the photos in front of that background sounds a lot cheaper than what they do today.
Though the Queen Consort Elizabeth would always look down her nose at Alice, Princess Andrew of Greece, in actuality, her mother-in-law Queen Mary was sympathetic to her and had been close friends to her as well as her own mother Victoria, the Marchioness of Milford-Haven [who did live to witness her grandson's wedding to Elizabeth]. Funnily enough, after Prince Andrew of Greece's death in 1944, Queen Mary speculated that the breakdown in their union came from Alice letting the Orthodox religion go to her head 'like poor Alix of Russia' [her maternal aunt] and that Alice became 'too whacked for words!'
Can anyone tell me what Sir Winston Churchill was saying when they first showed him in the church? He yelled something.. but I didn't quite hear what he said...I think the lady next to him shushed him too....
@patrycjazak9753 do you believe every lie from Hollywood and the press hell bent on tearing down the monarchs . There was never any proof he cheated . Queen Elizabeth would have never tolerated that
King George her father rejected the idea when it was suggested she be granted the title on her 18th, he believed that the title should only belong to the wife of the royal born Prince of Wales. to him it was a title to marry into
@@Chuck0856 Elizabeth had no brothers, which was why she was named heir when her father was crowned. Her father rejected the idea for her having the title 'princess of wales' as he believed only the wives of the prince of Wales should have the title princess of Wales
The show portray the queen mother horribly. Who knows if yhe woman was seriously this awful, but in this scene she was despicable. I could hardly suspend the disbelief thinking that she-maybe daughter of an earl, maybe of a french cook-would be saying those things about a british princess by birth, granddaughter of queen Victoria...
I wrote that Alice of Greece and Denmark was a saint, she hide a jewish Family in Athens from the Nazis so they were not deported. God bless her sleep 🌈❤️
European royalty were so intermarried by this time, an individual would be hard pressed to find a marital partner they weren't related to in some fashion.
Was HM Queen Elizabeth Bowes Lyon made comment about Prince Philip Mother Princess Alice his mother was really beautiful and so did Prince Philip knew King Kalayavan because the Sage to Kalayavan you come to India you like India who was burnt by Lord Krishna yes I love India as well Greece
Yeah sure in this show lol. But not in real life, sure he might’ve had some affairs which were not proven though. She alongside him , the both of them were the longest reigning monarch and consort in British history and that says a lot. Only around Prince Phillip could QEII be herself and he was the only one who treated her as a normal human being not shying away to give her constructive criticism, not sugar coating anything to get on her good side nor to please her. Excuse me but he, was rather an alpha man born, raised , grew and fought after and during the WWII , he was a man who gave up his titles , religion etc. just to marry the then Princess Elizabeth, he gave up his whole career which he fought hard to build up just to be an aid for QE II , he always stood, one step behind QE II for 7 decades, so please at least cut him a slack for that. He was a man capable of everything and if he should’ve wished for it he could’ve left her but he didn’t. Even before and after the marriage he was treated badly by the aristocrats and people in the court even his mother in law, just bc his sisters were married to Nazi’s and he used to be a Prince of a Kingdom which wasn’t no more in that constellation and penniless . When in fact he by blood was more royal then the most of them even more than his own wife. Yet he still played low and endured the hostility. People tend to forget that kind of abuse easily.
The way Elizabeth is SO nervous, and Phillip makes little facial expressions to encourage her and make her laugh 😍
This was so Sweet 🥰
That's what dad told him to do. She is the job.
Matt Smith, IMO, was the best Phillip in his demeanor, his walk, his expressions.

Thank you for sharing. We have to keep in mind, The Crown is not an historical documentary. The Crown presents their interpretation.
@@michaelhayden725 I was thinking the same, she literally is more of a commoner.
@@michaelhayden725
Yeah, if she truly said this in reality, then... well, yeah it would be super hypocritical
Churchill had me howling
the choir boy shushing him was funny; I mean a choir boy dressing down Winston.
I loved the actress who played Clementine. She was so good.
0:49
"Oh do shut up" says Clementine and the Choir Boys go "SHHH."
They are all prominent NAZIS!!!!!
0:31 king be like. . take care of her or else !! He's like yes sir
That kid telling of all people Winston Churchill to shut it 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣.
“You * underestimate * her.” Queen Mary knew…
Unlike the Queen Mother, Phillip's mother, Princess Alice was a princess by birth. And she sheltered a Jewish family in her home during the war.
0:57 bro hushed Churchill 😂
You might defeat the nazis, but youre gonna shut up for the queen!
As his old lady was saying, "Oh do shut up!"
"prominent nazi's!"
That was so funny!
dammit Winston, we can't take you anywhere
🤣🤣🤣
😂 That comment had me laughing up my morning coffee lol
😂😂😂
2:20 unlike her 3 of their 4 children, Phillip and Elizabeth actually stuck to this vow

I guess you haven’t seen Footloose. He plays a minster in that movie: it’s pretty good.
@@kerriethompson2073 Why yes he was!
He played a serial killer in a season of Dexter and a trans woman in the World According to Garp. He is quite a versatile actor
Some of you may die but it is a sacrifice I'm willing to make
@@miliba That’s actually been turned into a meme 😂
The way they talk about Phillip's mother.... Who by birth outranked both Queen Mary and Queen Mother Elizabeth....
I think that “Hun” remark got under Mary’s skin, being German aristocracy by birth.
Prince Phillip’s mom was a badass! She could speak several languages despite being deaf. And helped house people from the Nazis! They did her so dirty in the series.
Both Alice of Battenberg and Mary of Teck were of morganatic origin - before marriage they were Serene Highnesses, not Royal.
Technically she did not outrank them at that point.
Mary was as English as anyone. @@matthewkrulitski8788
And thus a dynamic duo was born⭐💛
"You know why his sisters aren't here, they are all married to Nazi's prominent Nazi's" Churchill had no chill man. LOL. Also taking the photos in front of that background sounds a lot cheaper than what they do today.
I love all seasons of Crown
A hun nun, says Queen Elizabeth to her hun mother in law.
How is Mary, born in the Uk as was her mother and grandfather going back generations a hun?
@@Chuck0856German aristocratic descent. Her lineage had some Hun imbued into it.
How dare elizabeth and mary say anything about alice
Matt Smith and Claire Foy are brilliant together.

The little boys represent Princes William of Gloucester and Michael of Kent.
Philip's mother only donned the habit AFTER the wedding. And she was not some frail doddering lady. Only two of many many inventions by the writers.
underrated show ever!!
Huh? It's one of the most popular shows in the world...
The closed captions are horrible ;-(
Churchill was being rather rude.
Ah, no. If I'm in a wedding and I see prominent Nazis, I will ALWAYS call them by their names
But funny af
But truthful
Rude funny and truthful all at the same time is a apt description of Sir Winston Churchill.
PROMINENT NAAAZIS!
Excellent series ❤🎉
Churchill you naughty man - but so correct
Can anyone tell me what Sir Winston Churchill was saying when they first showed him in the church? He yelled something.. but I didn't quite hear what he said...I think the lady next to him shushed him too....
They look happy as f#😂😂😂😂
They were married for 74 years
And he still managed to cheat on her 💀
@patrycjazak9753 do you believe every lie from Hollywood and the press hell bent on tearing down the monarchs . There was never any proof he cheated . Queen Elizabeth would have never tolerated that
If Elizabeth II was heir presumptive, why wasn't she given the title "Princess of Wales" back then?
King George her father rejected the idea when it was suggested she be granted the title on her 18th, he believed that the title should only belong to the wife of the royal born Prince of Wales. to him it was a title to marry into
Because they didn't give it to women -- and she had brother who outranked her.
@@Chuck0856 Elizabeth had no brothers, which was why she was named heir when her father was crowned.

At 0:57 that kid was more mature then that churchill...
Are the queen mother and Mary here for the wedding or saying bad things about princess Alice
So what she dressed like a nun she's a human being ❤
Did Nehru really love Lady Mountbatten
Yes
Yes. Their love affair was serious and lasting. The book "Indian Sunmer" includes an interesting account of their relationship.
This is what a couple shpuld be even if they had fights differences every couple has but they had love which charles didnt have for diana
Suddenly goes all twight in the middle for some reason
Churchill was awsome
Two good for nothing oldie gossiping about princess Alice the great.
The Brits have always been and continue to be the worst.
Prinzessin Alice ist eine Heilige ❤️ sie beschützte eine jüdische Familie vor der Deportation durch die Nazis. Gott möge ihren Schlaf segnen. RIP 🌈❤️

Isn't it amazing how Charles, William & Harry married Women who were "Cousins" many times removed.

Obey? But it is opposite
Both took the same marital vow.

Run-on sentence
this is the only mis-step that she ever made. He was a bad man, and even worse prince. multiple women, bad advice, and a weak husband and father.
