      It’s very possible that the Queen was jealous, the Queen was a marvelous public servant in her role, which was difficult. She gave so much to the role, but the Queen probably thought it she could have the political freedom of being a Minister would have more than her rather ceremonial role of being queen. MT however was SO out of her element in the rich snobby world of parlour games, outdoors, and extravagance. MT is working class, the Queen from wealth.

    For all the talk of the Queen not getting on with Margaret Thatcher, which might be somewhat true based on the fact Margaret Thatcher was doing some pretty radical things. But post her resignation she never showed signs of dislike quite the opposite, she attended her 70th and 80th birthdays. Something she certainly never had to do. She also made her a Knight of the Garter very quickly. Something she has not done for Tony Blair or Gordon Brown. She also gave the go ahead for her public funeral and chose to attend, the first funeral of PM she has attended since Churchill.

      Order of Merit, Order of the Garter, Ceremonial funeral and a heredity baronetcy for Denis; strange the Queen would do this for a PM she didnt get on with! Its not like she has offered so much to any other recent PM. I think the dislike between them was overblown for narrative reason or perhaps the personal and political views of the show runners.

      Am I alone in disliking the narrator repeatedly saying "Thatcher" rather than "Mrs Thatcher". It sounds a bit disrespectful. In any case surely "Thatcher" is Denis Thatcher?! She also, like so many British people, mispronounces "apartheid". The vowel sound of the last syllable should be as in "eight", not as in "tide".

      While I think working moms tend to have a lot in common that it usually based off off which social class they belong to. Middle class moms definitely lead similar lives, but to compare Thatcher and Windsor as having a lot in common when one of them is the Queen of England is misleading at best and ignorant at worst.

Tis the reason why working women are appreciated a lot, they handle the household as well as their professional duties. Somehow housework and familial responsibilities cannot be isolated from women.

    For those comparing Meryl's performance to Gillian's, I simply say you are comparing apples and oranges. The performances are based on two different displays of entertainment: film vs. tv, which both come with their different advantages/disadvantages. Also, the film was a biography and was not meant to to be seen through a political lens, a monarchial lens (like The Crown), or a British public lens, but a general veneer of Thatcher's life. Also, biographies tend to be kinder towards it subjects, which The Iron Lady was. Meryl's performance was great, Oscar-winning of course, but here Gillian was gifted the opportunity to portray Thatcher through a much different lens. I assume Thatcher herself would prefer and her most ardent supporters prefer Meryl's interpretation to Gillian's. So comparing the two doesn't solve anything. Both Meryl and Gillian are fantastic.

      There’s a clear contrast to two mothers and two fathers. When those two were born the woman’s only role was in the home. Hell, one of the main reasons Thatcher lost two of her original tries for a seat in the House of Commons was because people questioned her being able to balance motherly and work duties. So the fact she broke through that to become the first female leader of the western world is notable. And for these two women running a nation which champions the old times, it’s notable to commend them for being both mothers and leaders.

    They had a great mutual respect. HMQ was baffled by MT initially, as she had never encountered such a strong female political force. However, towards the end of Thatcher's premiership, they developed a warmer relationship. She did indeed award her the Order of Merit, but more tellingly, HMQ changed the rules that only royal ladies can be the Order of the Garter so that Thatcher could be admitted to the highest order of chivalry in the UK, and totally in the Queen's personal gift.

      Yeah but that's not really the truth. The Queen showed up on Thatcher's 80th birthday and on her funeral. Protocol dictates that the Sovereign does not show up to their Prime Minister's funerals, to not show favoritism. But ERII showed up on Churchill's and Thatcher's funeral. Only the Queen and Thatcher and their husbands knew of their relationship. And unlike with Diana, they kept their feelings towards each other pretty secret.

    WOW! So, we've got Thatcher to thank for the Murdoch era we are living in right now? Thanks a lot!

      You've more got the old print trade unions to thank for that.

    What I haven't heard anyone comment on following the release of the latest season of The Crown is how Margaret Thatcher - whom I strongly supported - sadly completely screwed up the handling of the expiration of the lease on Hong Kong's New Territories. Thatcher thought her victory in the Falklands War meant she was absolutely smarter than everyone else and she could not in anyway be told her demand to publicly renew the lease was the worst possible way to handle the situation. If she had followed the advice of her councillors Hong Kong would still be a British Crown Colony!
