@gail... I liked Prince Phillip...he endured so much loss, and carried it with grace and dignity. He backed QE II every step of the way. A misstep here and there, but a decent sort, inho. A Greek, yes, but related to half the royal families in Europe. Just a differing opinion. Cheers!
So true It was an amazing performance. And so befitting Winston Churchill. Queen Elizabeth insisted. That he have a funeral exactly like her Father, there was a cortège of his coffin up the Thames recognizing his Naval background, Queen Elizabeth and other Royals went into the church and out at the end of the service before the family. She made sure there were processional carriages w.horses for the family, and personally attended to their needs
His attitude towards Phillip's flying lessons was ironic since decades earlier as a father of young chchildren he had done the same until Clementine put her foot down. Also ironic is that Peter would have been a much more respectable husband than the decadent Tony.
The first season had it all: stellar directing, writing, and cinematography, beautiful score, brilliant acting (and Claire Foy will be the one and only Queen to me); ABSOLUTELY STUNNING. In my opinion, this season is one of the greatest works of art in film. It just doesn't get better.
Agreed. Her portrayal was quite literally THE Queen Elizabeth II of the series. Olivia Coleman was fine. Seasons 5&6, just dreadful casting for the senior royals.
I was kinda put off by Claire at first. Could decide if she was a terrible actress for being soo stone faced and emotionless, or amazing for being able to do so. And have NEVER been a fan of Olivia Coleman. But recently binged the show and Claire certainly nailed the Queen's stoic, barely cracking so much as a smirk, cold stance we knew her for. Ended up enjoyed Season 1 alot more than expected. And seeing Matt Smith as Philip emotionally refusing to bow early on was funny, when contrast to how she had no emotion to her reply.
Yeah! I truly think she set the tone for the older versions of the Queen. Also would like to stress grandness of the costumes: everything of such quality and taste that comes through the screen. Amazing series indeed - worth a rewatch! 🥰
So here's the deal. Olivia and Imelda absolutely brilliant in their seasons. But Claire's performance in the first two seasons is possibly one of the greatest acting experiences ever. She is truly incomparable
To be fair the first two seasons are more centred around Queen Elizabeth and having to navigate such a sudden and shocking change to her and her family's lives. Queen Elizabeth was fresh and young to the throne and had a lot of learning and growth to achieve in this time. We get to see Claire Foy portray the Queen a lot of us viewers never really got to witness. Most of the world and the generations watching this show are probable Boomer generations and younger generations who when they think of the queen, they see an older grandmotherly type of woman who has been hard working and devoted to her duty. As a millennial watching this I find the first 2 seasons the most interesting because it covers a time period that most of us never got to see or learn about Queen Elizabeth II.
Grit, determination, faith to sustain her. She embodied continuing education for 70 years. Curious, in so many areas. Gardens, dogs, horses, history, foreign relations, architecture, the English constitution, mechanics, law, theology, etc.....
I was so happy to see Matt as Phillip because I loved him in Dr. Who. His acting in The Crown opposite of Claire was outstanding. I have a new found respect for him. He was perfectly cast. 👏🏻
I love her interaction and dance with the Ghana King showing her diplomatic abilities and the way she listens and understands Jackie Kennedy’s explanations during their visit to Buckingham Palace 👏🏽🥰🙌🏽❤️
who would have guessed after Dick Soloman of Third Rock From The Sun? abs Harry and The Hendersons? He is obviously both a talented comic and dramatic actor.
Good work Elizabeth. Not a fan, although raised a royalist. However she was humorous staunch strong and had the tenacity and patience of a real Queen. There'll be no other. Its a challenge being Queen, emotionally and physically. May she rest in mirth and peace.
@ngairemartin9753......What a beautiful comment. I have to say that I did think she was funny, with a dry sense of humor, and I've seen many photos of her smiling with happiness. I think she had a mischievous streak that she probably displayed with her family more often than depicted in the series.
Margaret had such a miserable marriage, Elton John recalled in his Biography that she once invited him and his band to her estate for dinner, when they arrived and were seated in the dinning room a bitter fight broke out between her and her husband, the two excused themselves but the shouting continued leaving Elton, his bandmates and Bernie all exchanging nervous glances wondering if they should just quietly slip out of the place.
I've often thought, like others I'm sure, that if Margaret could do it all again she would have picked Peter and went on with her life. Public opinion was already in her favor and if she had toughed it out for a few years that everyone else would have softened up and she could have have a happy a fruitful life.
@@gabrielles1851 Yes, that’s my feeling too….unfortunately fate & “the times” worked against her. Princess Margaret was also very tied to her family, money, titles, royalty, & deference to her by others: she had gotten so used to it, she felt she couldn’t live w/o it & would have had to forfeit a good portion of that to be w/Peter. She simply couldn’t do it & so forfeited her heart along with it. Because of that choice, she lead a very sad life.
@@Ariana-wv4pf Money doesn't equate happiness. In fact it's oft argued that the wealthy are so cold to other's because they develop a paranoia that people only hang around them for the money. It eventually becomes a self fulfilling prediction as they tend to drive away those who really do care about them.
I've watched this season more times than I can count now. I suspect my grandchildren's children will watch it 30 years from today with no less enjoyment. A project masterfully executed on every level.
When Queen Elizabeth sits next to Queen Mary's bedside and asked her about the letter that was written to her, by Queen Mary. Queen Mary explains the history & why Duke of Edinburgh wouldn't understand the history. Or, the history of the Nazi & correlation with her Uncle. Amazing facts & secrets hidden in this movie. (Not hidden, but not everyone pays attention too.) Outstanding series! Love, love & love.
Queen Mary shines brightly in this story! My Mom saw the death of Queen Elizabeth II before my Mom died in December 2022. My Mom and I loved Queen Mary of Teck!
John Lithgow as the aged Churchill absolutely shocked me. What a transformation. But whenever an American actor plays a Brit, I never feel fully qualified to judge the performance. As an American myself, I'm unsure if the voice is passable just to my ears. Friends across the pond, was his accent believable?
@@carrietide I feel that it was not anger from Mary of Teck, but a look of monumental seriousness that said: "Elizabeth, you are now Queen of all the UK and the Commonwealth. This must be the most important duty in your life, until the day you die." She wrote about this in her letter to Elizabeth, which she read on the plane before she disembarked.
This has been a brilliant series throughout. Absolutely loved it. Excellent portrayals by all. Especially by both the Queen Elizabeths (young and old).
Queen mary really bowed and curtsied the queen elizabeth ii her granddaughter to just prove everyone else that ,u must bow before the monarchy no matter who u r(except for monarchies)
She did, but at Clarence House, not Sandringham. Lots of inaccuracies. King George VI died in a small ground floor room not a large first floor room. He couldn't climb the stairs. Queen Mary had two green Daimlers not a maroon and black Rolls-Royce. She never owned a Rolls-Royce. Frankly, The Crown was a little bit of fact and about 95 per cent made up. People seem to have taken it to be fact.
@@michaelmontagu3979 he died at Sandringham estate, google him it clearly says it. Bit of background on King George VI: his Majesty King George VI was incredibly shy, which is why he didn't give a lot of public speeches, plus he had a stutter, in the mid 1920's he hired speech therapist Lionel Logue to treat his stutter, which he managed to some degree. King George VI had taken on much stress during the war and took it's toll on him, and was made worse by his heavy smoking, and subsequent development of lung cancer among a cacophony of other ailments, including arteriosclerosis and Buerger's disease. Both of the King's legs were affected but his right leg was more affected than his left leg. So, the King's doctors prescribed complete rest and electric treatment to encourage circulation but as they were either unaware of the connection between the disease and smoking ( the King was a heavy smoker) or unable to persuade the king to stop smoking, the disease failed to respond to treatment. On 12 March 1949, the King underwent a lumbar sympathectomy, performed at Buckingham Palace, by James R. Learmonth. The operation, as such, was successful, but the King was warned that it was a palliative, not a cure, and that there could be no assurance that the disease would not grow worse. From all accounts, the King continued to smoke. Despite being given extreme bed rest, King George VI went to London airport to Elizabeth and Philip off on their tour to Australia via Kenya. It was his last public appearance. Six days later, at 7:30 GMT on the morning of 6 February, he was found dead in bed at Sandringham House in Norfolk. He had died in the night from a coronary thrombosis at the age of 56. His daughter flew back to Britain from Kenya as Queen Elizabeth II.
Except, of course, he didn't really. When they invaded France, he fled. When they caught up with him in Portugal and put up to him the idea of returning to the throne, he told them that was impossible nd proceeded to British territory and spent the war as Governor General of Bahama. He did say admirable things about the Nazis in the 1930s, but lots of people admired either Hitler or Stalin at the time, seeing only their surface accomplishments and not the underlying evil. This series goes out of its way to blacken his reputation and exaggerate his "sympathies".
He leaked security info to an English agent who leaked it to a Russian spy at the Hague who gave it to Russia. It is alleged that the places where the Russians invaded exactly matched the locations he leaked. He wanted to be a world player and was susceptible to Nazi flattery and promises.
@@odysseusrex5908their is a BBC documentary with Nazi records that prove his communications to Nazi leaders. One of which told them to bomb London to make them surrender. Further communication when he was in Portugal to the Nazi.
@@monalebon8016 Actually out of herl her sister Elizabeth Margaret was the more advantageous one, while Elizabeth was more book smart, eager to learn, always educating herself. Margaret had what we Americans call street smarts, she could keep up the jokes with the guys, she could be sassy with her sister and grandmothers. No one knows this but Margaret had a soft spot for animals especially horses and cats.
I have seen Winston performed now by both Lithgow and Gary Oldman. Both men brought their prodigious talents to the role, and each version is as good as the other
Really the only thing I think The Crown got wrong, was Philip's alleged "reluctance " to bow before Elizabeth - The real Philip *was* in his way & always a support & stay to The Queen. She herself said it & I think on a whole his behavior in public bore that out. "In private" - I do think confrontations such as those dramatized here, may well have taken place. But, these don't take away from Philip's ultimate, devoted, and open loyalty to The Queen
He was and she allowed him to be, head of the family and did not come the Queen with him. She understood that a man, especially of his personality and pride and time in history HAD to be seen to be head of his family.
Extrêmement émouvant et je ne sais même pas si on peut vraiment comprendre … tant de pouvoir … mais c est comme si la vie du roi ou de la reine ne lui appartient pas…et cette situation si antinomique à la vue de tous…pas facile!!!😮😮😮
My dad was divorced when he met my mum and proposed swiftly. He had been away in the navy and his wife cheated on him, repeatedly I think and he refused to live a life with a woman of such low morals. So, they divorced. In time he met my mum and they very quickly wanted to get married and six weeks later, they did (fifty years later they are still stronger than ever and an example of true love), but it was back in the early '70s, things were different and when they approached churches, they refused to marry a divorced person. They got married at the registry office instead and it was fine, but the divorce thing stopped the church wedding. It just got me thinking of it when Margaret's scene was playing.
@@aliasif8498 I'm not actually sure. My parents said that the vicar looked down on them for it and refused them. But we are talking about a tiny little village in a tiny little town in England in the early 1970's, they werent exactly open minded.
@@EnglishVirgo Got it, Thanks for d reply I actually had no idea that few decades ago divorced men and women were looked very differently by the society n also church.
I got married in 1989. I lived in a suburb of New York City that was well populated and socially progressive. There was still a problem. I was Catholic and my church refused to marry us because my husband was divorced. I went to another parish thinking my priest was a stick in the mud, but they refused as well. I called a third parish and they wouldn't marry us either. Getting married in church was important to me, so I started calling parishes of other denominations. Finally, I found a Presbyterian church that would marry us, but I had to convert. So I did.
@aliasif8498 the Bible references marriage as a covenant to God and how he hates divorce. And remarriage was only allowed for the faithful partner not the adulter, abuser or the person in the wrong.
Sorry, just an aside, one of the reasons the smog crippled London traffic was that the vehicle's' headlights were nowhere near as powerful as the ones we have today. It crept into houses and affected children and OAP's, whose death rates climbed steeply. The Queen was perfectly right as shown by the clean air Acts that followed. Churchill really overstepped the mark in treating Her Majesty as a silly, little girl in the scene. Great acting because he really made my hackles rise.
To be fair, after the one black lung was fished out of the king, his death was hardly shocking. Add to that the incomparable Jared Harris dies in almost every role he takes. (He's absolutely the best actor.)
Margaret is way too tall. The scene borderline scary. The music the expressions. I like the scene it's drama and the music. It well done. One can feel the apprehension and fear from Elizabeth.
Phillip : well as long as you dont sit on him anytime soon Queen : dont think everyone is as same as u to have endless wanderings with ballerina actress and playing games alone 😎😎😎😎 if she replied like this then phillip will become speechless and go numb Queen loved him thats what saved their marriage life otherwise things would have been different for phillips amd he remain as a normal commoner without titles and luxury life
Prince Philip was not a normal commoner. He was an aristocrat with strong family ties to both the Greek and the Danish Royal houses and he was a prince of both. He already had the title of Prince when he married QEII. He was given the title of Duke of Edinburgh when he married. Like QEII he was also a descendant of Queen Victoria. The couple were third cousins. However, it does seem that courtiers and others did not value Prince Philip as a true prince because in essence he was a foreign prince, not a British one.
@@julianneheindorf5757 prince phillip family ran away from their country . He had titles alone not a country to rule . He had the royal title duke of Edinburg and prince title because he married queen elizabeth ii . If Queen decides to divorce him , he lose all his titles . he gave up his job and titles and renounced titles so if he got divorced from queen and queen submits evidence of all his mistakes and divorce was granted he become a normal commoner . If he loved lilibet alone why he must worry how his in-laws and courtiers treat him and can maturely handle the problems without making a big fight with queen . he was a narrow ,typical , immature minded believe in false masculinity has a sharp tongue ,hard and tough wild one (his worst childhood and gordouston school experience made him like that )who reacted to courtiers and others worst treatments and tried to solve it immaturely failed to support his wife who fought her own family to get married to him . His family ran away fearing death and his sister's had married nazi higher officials. Queen mother , king george vi and british courtiers has enough reason to doubt him because it is heir to the throne elizabeth ii marriage . " Why on earth he wanted to marry a future queen(their match making which was planned by his uncle )and expect to live as per his wish without losing his home, job, name and felt like insulted second fiddling his wife knowing the heir alone was first preference not the spouse . He got duke of Edinburg title and thinks he can live life as per his wish and enjoy royal life . Unexpectedly elizabeth 2 become queen in 1952 he has to second fiddle her this thing make him feel insulted because of his false masculinity ,narrow and immature mind ,sharp tongue . The qualities that gave him a bad opinion in front of his in-laws and british courtiers eyes . he even gave a speech in 25th wedding anniversary it was Queen's tolerance that made this marriage successful . So it is Queen lilibet love, forgiveness and tolerance towards phillips that made their marriage successful in first 25 years .after some years phillips learnt from his mistakes and gave support to his wife I guess .
She could have married him without her family’s/sister’s permission - in time they would have come around. In a situation like this it is better to ask for forgiveness then for permission.
They make movies and tv about history and royals all the time but they’ll be hard pressed in the coming years to match Foy as QE and Lithgow as Churchill.
I found myself yelling at the screen when the abdicated King Edward dismissed her. 70 years on the throne, beloved by people all around the world, always putting her duty first, unlike you who conspired with nazis.
This is so disgusting that Elizabeth wouldn't let Margaret marry the man of her dreams. She never got over the broken heart it gave her for the remainder of Margaret's Life.
It was Margaret’s choice. She was a spoilt and petulant Princess all her life. The newspapers were full of her doings. She chose being a privileged Royal over the man she said she loved. She could have married Peter Townsend and lived quietly as his wife. Her choice.
Still… Charles was allowed “to violate the scriptures and offend the Church” and divorce, and then marry a divorced woman, AND become a king… AND make his wife a queen… Nice, huh?? He got away with EVERYTHING. Full house.
Also churches changed. Divorced people can marry in churches now (there may be some exceptions) and society no longer ostracizes divorced people as occurred in the 1950’s and 60’s.
She got way to use to telling people they couldn't marry who they loved when she certainly did. It became to much of a habit for her and it happened with Charles too. I get that the crown is the head of the church. Love like that only comes once in a lifetime. The crown and only the crown is the head of the church. So, Margaret shouldn't have been denied! Funny, she changed the law for her son, but broke her sister's heart forever and basically ruined the woman when a small bend in law would have kept her sister sound and a terrific relationship with her sister. But when it came to Charles, they changed the law for him. She just wasn't Smart enough to see that there were those who wanted to break that family up.
This is a wonderful show, the acting is top notch. The issue I have it's that much of it simply isn't real, never happened, imagined. The problem is that most viewers don't know that. They think they are watching a biography. These people are and were still alive. So, when the show creates fiction (the catty relationship between Elizabeth and Maragret, implication that Phillip spent his marriage screwing other women etc) I have issues. We don't know what the personal intimate actions and thoughts of these people had, the private conversations between sisters or a husband and wife and we shouldn't pretend we do, ESPECIALLY when everyone involved is still alive, or was and double especially when they make it scandalous. I had to stop watching it for that reason. I had too much respect for the real queen.
@sugarkane4830 You know they're portraying the real people based on all the public - and private- knowledge of them, right? Too many people to count have shared their eyewitness accounts of Phillips jealousy and problems with Elizabeth being in a higher position of authority than himself.
She was uneducated provincial saw the world in him at 13- who else was going to marry her? He was penniless and homeless- his uncle was hoping that Philip would become king…
How or why is that a strange turn? She allowed her divorced son, the future king, to marry a divorced mistress that had caused havoc for 20 years and allow her to become queen. If you ask me, her grandson marrying a divorced woman is tame. I'm no Megan fan by a long shot , but that marriage isn't in the same universe of things that are F up and wrong as Charles and Cowmilla.
Nobles from Dukes/Duchesses all the way down to Lords/Ladies are allowed to wear for coronets extremely formal events. It's simply out of fashion to do so these days, which is why the actors/actresses looked silly to some.
@@tracyblacknell3610I never had a imperial margarine crown👑 appear in my head while the Do🎶 dah dee🎶 doo🎶 sound was there(Imperial margarine commercial from the 70s)
Anybody that believes the conversations in the crown need to figure out this a make believe DRAMA just like any other film its made up yes some events are loosely based on history but not alot of it is protrayed correctly or in the right year 😂
Sadly, Prince Harry still doesn't realise that when one is born into such a privileged life, there are certain expectations of one's behaviour. Prince Harry has badly misjudged the reactions of the Royal Family, his regiment, and the majority of the people of Great Britain. It's not possible to walk away from duty to this country and behave like a 'playboy' without there being consequences. Surely, history (Edward VIII) should have taught him that.
That is truth... Harry has only to look at his parents to see what folly it is to lack the discipline of being a prince.. To whom much is given much is required "
17:31 Realistically, when you are a 3 married to a 15, you can't expect to be the only one he has ever loved. That man was one of the most gorgeous men to have ever walked the earth.
That's ridiculous, I'm a RN, a doctor or anyone that could actually get ahold of morphine, coke, and a needle gauge strong enough to puncture the jugular vein during that time period would also know enough to be able to get a normal vein to inject. Plus the amount of blood that would come from that would be noticed. Also a dying king would have around the clock care and family around.
@@thecutecat2561 Hate to have you as a Nurse! That's exactly what happened. Maybe mot the Jugular but definitely morphine and coke,Those drugs have been around for 1000's of years! That "time"Period was 1950's. Do you think they were still using leeches then?
@svagrod I'm aware it has been done by doctors. What threw me off was I thought they were referring to someone within the court doing it because they said the jugular vein. Of course, I know what doctor's carried in their medical bags and what they had access to. 🙄 If you read my comment I even said that if it was done by a doctor it wouldn't be done that way, at least not in that time period, meaning I wasn't discounting it being done at all just the method. I just misunderstood them, is all. Also, it was his father that they have absolute proof of this being done too, not him. If you do have a credible source that says otherwise, though, I'd love to see it, as I love history. Just because I haven't seen it doesn't mean it doesn't exist somewhere I can concede that.
Comment peux t'on croire à ces images et dialogues, issus de l'imagination des scénaristes et autres ? La profonde réserve manifestée par Sa Majesté, dans sa fonction de monarque et au sujet de sa vie privée, tout à fait exemplaire, contraste avec cette série dont le contenu est ridicule ! Citoyen français et non sujet britannique, je n'ai jamais compris ce succès auprès des mêmes admirateurs de Sa Majesté !
my fave scene is where Prince Philip has an outburst about how he wont kneel to the queen "like some common cuck." Im not sure if its the actress being either amazing, or terrible, but she is never emotional. Just looks at him dead faced like the thumbnail and through the clips and just tells him "you will do just that, Philip. It is your duty." Then gets up and leaves. No emotion. Either amazing acting to stay emotionless throughout the entire season, or a terrible actress just reading the lines. Either way, perfectly cast

The scene where Queen Mary Deeply curtsies to Queen Elizabeth is remarkably powerful in the sheer, unspoken simplicity.

The multiple emotions of terror, weight, responsibility all at the same time in just a few moments.
Claire showed them beautifully.
Agreed. I mean it was done so powerful I felt that. That would have been a moment for Queen Elizabeth. Wow
Epic. One of the very best.
The scene with Queen Mary had a spectral quality to it. And Winston Churchill was certainly bold in the way he always spoke to h queen.
& Those Creaking Floor Boards as she went down into the DEEP almost to the floor curtsey 😮 made it all the more potent…
Foy's micro mouvements, her body language, her eyes are incredible, truly a great actress and the role of a lifetime.
Goodness!
@@gfgall Yes a woman to watch !
She didn’t need extraordinary “ability” to be a great Queen; she needed great character and discipline. Queen Elizabeth had that.

@@Ariana-wv4pf Money doesn't equate happiness. In fact it's oft argued that the wealthy are so cold to other's because they develop a paranoia that people only hang around them for the money. It eventually becomes a self fulfilling prediction as they tend to drive away those who really do care about them.
This programme just made me realise more and more what a strange concept Royalty is.
I've watched this season more times than I can count now. I suspect my grandchildren's children will watch it 30 years from today with no less enjoyment. A project masterfully executed on every level.
When Queen Elizabeth sits next to Queen Mary's bedside and asked her about the letter that was written to her, by Queen Mary. Queen Mary explains the history & why Duke of Edinburgh wouldn't understand the history. Or, the history of the Nazi & correlation with her Uncle. Amazing facts & secrets hidden in this movie. (Not hidden, but not everyone pays attention too.) Outstanding series! Love, love & love.
Queen Mary shines brightly in this story! My Mom saw the death of Queen Elizabeth II before my Mom died in December 2022. My Mom and I loved Queen Mary of Teck!
Queen Mary was Teck.
Teck
queen mary of Kent.. who is that?
The Crown. The best ever recreation of history 🕊️
To have your grandmother curtsy to you, unimaginable.
And disgusting, yes
Even though she didn’t have a formal education, she had brilliant instincts.
John Lithgow as the aged Churchill absolutely shocked me. What a transformation. But whenever an American actor plays a Brit, I never feel fully qualified to judge the performance. As an American myself, I'm unsure if the voice is passable just to my ears. Friends across the pond, was his accent believable?
he was shockingly brilliant.
I thought he was a native Brit before reading this comment
John Lithgow is a great actor.
Churchill is half American
He studied at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art. And at Harvard. So, I guess his English English is excellent.
I get so distracted by Claire Foy being so incredibly pretty.
And I would also add Vanessa Kirby. These are the first roles I had seen them, let alone heard of them. Both are lovely young women!
Claire foy was the best
The look of horror on Elizabeth’s face when her Grandmother bowed to her 😟
Mary of Teck 's face reflected anger.....
@@carrietide She'd just lost her fourth son. John, George, David, and Bertie
Was it horror ?🤔
@@carrietide I feel that it was not anger from Mary of Teck, but a look of monumental seriousness that said: "Elizabeth, you are now Queen of all the UK and the Commonwealth. This must be the most important duty in your life, until the day you die." She wrote about this in her letter to Elizabeth, which she read on the plane before she disembarked.
This has been a brilliant series throughout. Absolutely loved it. Excellent portrayals by all. Especially by both the Queen Elizabeths (young and old).
Queen mary really bowed and curtsied the queen elizabeth ii her granddaughter to just prove everyone else that ,u must bow before the monarchy no matter who u r(except for monarchies)
"Nah." *~America*
She did, but at Clarence House, not Sandringham. Lots of inaccuracies. King George VI died in a small ground floor room not a large first floor room. He couldn't climb the stairs. Queen Mary had two green Daimlers not a maroon and black Rolls-Royce. She never owned a Rolls-Royce. Frankly, The Crown was a little bit of fact and about 95 per cent made up. People seem to have taken it to be fact.
you mean sitting Monarchs, I presume.
@@michaelmontagu3979 he died at Sandringham estate, google him it clearly says it. Bit of background on King George VI: his Majesty King George VI was incredibly shy, which is why he didn't give a lot of public speeches, plus he had a stutter, in the mid 1920's he hired speech therapist Lionel Logue to treat his stutter, which he managed to some degree. King George VI had taken on much stress during the war and took it's toll on him, and was made worse by his heavy smoking, and subsequent development of lung cancer among a cacophony of other ailments, including arteriosclerosis and Buerger's disease. Both of the King's legs were affected but his right leg was more affected than his left leg. So, the King's doctors prescribed complete rest and electric treatment to encourage circulation but as they were either unaware of the connection between the disease and smoking ( the King was a heavy smoker) or unable to persuade the king to stop smoking, the disease failed to respond to treatment. On 12 March 1949, the King underwent a lumbar sympathectomy, performed at Buckingham Palace, by James R. Learmonth. The operation, as such, was successful, but the King was warned that it was a palliative, not a cure, and that there could be no assurance that the disease would not grow worse. From all accounts, the King continued to smoke.
Despite being given extreme bed rest, King George VI went to London airport to Elizabeth and Philip off on their tour to Australia via Kenya. It was his last public appearance. Six days later, at 7:30 GMT on the morning of 6 February, he was found dead in bed at Sandringham House in Norfolk. He had died in the night from a coronary thrombosis at the age of 56. His daughter flew back to Britain from Kenya as Queen Elizabeth II.
Without question, when the queen asked the disgraced former king how he could ever forgive himself for siding with the nazis
She was kinder to him than he deserved. He was a terrible person.
Except, of course, he didn't really. When they invaded France, he fled. When they caught up with him in Portugal and put up to him the idea of returning to the throne, he told them that was impossible nd proceeded to British territory and spent the war as Governor General of Bahama. He did say admirable things about the Nazis in the 1930s, but lots of people admired either Hitler or Stalin at the time, seeing only their surface accomplishments and not the underlying evil. This series goes out of its way to blacken his reputation and exaggerate his "sympathies".
He leaked security info to an English agent who leaked it to a Russian spy at the Hague who gave it to Russia. It is alleged that the places where the Russians invaded exactly matched the locations he leaked. He wanted to be a world player and was susceptible to Nazi flattery and promises.
@@odysseusrex5908their is a BBC documentary with Nazi records that prove his communications to Nazi leaders. One of which told them to bomb London to make them surrender. Further communication when he was in Portugal to the Nazi.
@@odysseusrex5908 it also depicts his actions, a true traitor to country.
Margaret was not willing to give up her title or pension to marry the man she loved.
Just what I was thinking. If she truly lived she would have.
I'll always remember my Grandmother referring to her as poor Margaret.
it was all that she knew.
Full of herself.If one truly loves someone one gives up anything.
@@monalebon8016 Actually out of herl her sister Elizabeth Margaret was the more advantageous one, while Elizabeth was more book smart, eager to learn, always educating herself. Margaret had what we Americans call street smarts, she could keep up the jokes with the guys, she could be sassy with her sister and grandmothers. No one knows this but Margaret had a soft spot for animals especially horses and cats.
Churchill had me dying a lot! LMAO he was a bold mf
I have seen Winston performed now by both Lithgow and Gary Oldman. Both men brought their prodigious talents to the role, and each version is as good as the other
That laat dialogue..Wow, real classy at its finest..!!!
Really the only thing I think The Crown got wrong, was Philip's alleged "reluctance " to bow before Elizabeth - The real Philip *was* in his way & always a support & stay to The Queen. She herself said it & I think on a whole his behavior in public bore that out. "In private" - I do think confrontations such as those dramatized here, may well have taken place. But, these don't take away from Philip's ultimate, devoted, and open loyalty to The Queen
He was and she allowed him to be, head of the family and did not come the Queen with him. She understood that a man, especially of his personality and pride and time in history HAD to be seen to be head of his family.
We loved prince Philip to the end
Philip kept his Coronation oath up until the day that he died.
Powerful scenes and such great acting!!
Extrêmement émouvant et je ne sais même pas si on peut vraiment comprendre … tant de pouvoir … mais c est comme si la vie du roi ou de la reine ne lui appartient pas…et cette situation si antinomique à la vue de tous…pas facile!!!😮😮😮
My dad was divorced when he met my mum and proposed swiftly. He had been away in the navy and his wife cheated on him, repeatedly I think and he refused to live a life with a woman of such low morals. So, they divorced. In time he met my mum and they very quickly wanted to get married and six weeks later, they did (fifty years later they are still stronger than ever and an example of true love), but it was back in the early '70s, things were different and when they approached churches, they refused to marry a divorced person. They got married at the registry office instead and it was fine, but the divorce thing stopped the church wedding. It just got me thinking of it when Margaret's scene was playing.
Can I ask wats d reason for that??wouldn't church promote marriages of divorced men or women
@@aliasif8498 I'm not actually sure. My parents said that the vicar looked down on them for it and refused them. But we are talking about a tiny little village in a tiny little town in England in the early 1970's, they werent exactly open minded.
@@EnglishVirgo
Got it, Thanks for d reply
I actually had no idea that few decades ago divorced men and women were looked very differently by the society n also church.
I got married in 1989. I lived in a suburb of New York City that was well populated and socially progressive. There was still a problem. I was Catholic and my church refused to marry us because my husband was divorced. I went to another parish thinking my priest was a stick in the mud, but they refused as well. I called a third parish and they wouldn't marry us either. Getting married in church was important to me, so I started calling parishes of other denominations. Finally, I found a Presbyterian church that would marry us, but I had to convert. So I did.
@aliasif8498 the Bible references marriage as a covenant to God and how he hates divorce. And remarriage was only allowed for the faithful partner not the adulter, abuser or the person in the wrong.
John Lithgow is just a master actor. I truly think there isn't any role he couldn't play!
Sorry, just an aside, one of the reasons the smog crippled London traffic was that the vehicle's' headlights were nowhere near as powerful as the ones we have today. It crept into houses and affected children and OAP's, whose death rates climbed steeply. The Queen was perfectly right as shown by the clean air Acts that followed. Churchill really overstepped the mark in treating Her Majesty as a silly, little girl in the scene. Great acting because he really made my hackles rise.
She wasn't playing with Philip, he was a piece of work
I guess she passed the Gom Jabbar test…
@4:48 - So moving
The weight of here duty hits her right there when Queen Mary bends the knee!
Claire Foy acted fine indeed.
The City of Birmingham also suffered with 'smog'.
And?
They didn't play the Handel after she was crowned. It was a trumpet fanfair.
It's all in the films of the actual coronation which are online.
To be fair, after the one black lung was fished out of the king, his death was hardly shocking. Add to that the incomparable Jared Harris dies in almost every role he takes. (He's absolutely the best actor.)
Margaret is way too tall. The scene borderline scary. The music the expressions. I like the scene it's drama and the music. It well done. One can feel the apprehension and fear from Elizabeth.
I would do anything to live then, purely to know what I represented unfortunately that great united Kingdom of ours is gone
Phillip : well as long as you dont sit on him anytime soon
Queen : dont think everyone is as same as u to have endless wanderings with ballerina actress and playing games alone 😎😎😎😎 if she replied like this then phillip will become speechless and go numb
Queen loved him thats what saved their marriage life otherwise things would have been different for phillips amd he remain as a normal commoner without titles and luxury life
Prince Philip was not a normal commoner. He was an aristocrat with strong family ties to both the Greek and the Danish Royal houses and he was a prince of both. He already had the title of Prince when he married QEII. He was given the title of Duke of Edinburgh when he married. Like QEII he was also a descendant of Queen Victoria. The couple were third cousins. However, it does seem that courtiers and others did not value Prince Philip as a true prince because in essence he was a foreign prince, not a British one.
@@julianneheindorf5757 prince phillip family ran away from their country . He had titles alone not a country to rule . He had the royal title duke of Edinburg and prince title because he married queen elizabeth ii . If Queen decides to divorce him , he lose all his titles . he gave up his job and titles and renounced titles so if he got divorced from queen and queen submits evidence of all his mistakes and divorce was granted he become a normal commoner .
If he loved lilibet alone why he must worry how his in-laws and courtiers treat him and can maturely handle the problems without making a big fight with queen . he was a narrow ,typical , immature minded believe in false masculinity has a sharp tongue ,hard and tough wild one (his worst childhood and gordouston school experience made him like that )who reacted to courtiers and others worst treatments and tried to solve it immaturely failed to support his wife who fought her own family to get married to him .
His family ran away fearing death and his sister's had married nazi higher officials. Queen mother , king george vi and british courtiers has enough reason to doubt him because it is heir to the throne elizabeth ii marriage .
" Why on earth he wanted to marry a future queen(their match making which was planned by his uncle )and expect to live as per his wish without losing his home, job, name and felt like insulted second fiddling his wife knowing the heir alone was first preference not the spouse .
He got duke of Edinburg title and thinks he can live life as per his wish and enjoy royal life . Unexpectedly elizabeth 2 become queen in 1952 he has to second fiddle her this thing make him feel insulted because of his false masculinity ,narrow and immature mind ,sharp tongue . The qualities that gave him a bad opinion in front of his in-laws and british courtiers eyes .
he even gave a speech in 25th wedding anniversary it was Queen's tolerance that made this marriage successful .
So it is Queen lilibet love, forgiveness and tolerance towards phillips that made their marriage successful in first 25 years .after some years phillips learnt from his mistakes and gave support to his wife I guess .
@@kaviyaprabharan1832 sadly for the The Queen & all too commonly regularly; he’d suffer from ‘The Proverbial’ “Foot & Mouth” syndrome also…
Clare Foy is superb.
14:55 Margaret should have said, fine. No longer in the family and marry Peter.
She could have married him without her family’s/sister’s permission - in time they would have come around. In a situation like this it is better to ask for forgiveness then for permission.
If Margaret had waited until she waa 25 she could have married Peter without the Queen's permission.
@@cherylhulting1301 did not know that!
The Crown=The BEST!
They make movies and tv about history and royals all the time but they’ll be hard pressed in the coming years to match Foy as QE and Lithgow as Churchill.
Porchey was more than a friend
I have learn several history issues by the episodes
This series is not factual but a drama.
Alot of it is fictional and supposition.
Better hit the books then. Dame Judy Dench insisted on the disclaimer that this series is largely fiction based on some occurrences.
Damn... if I afford the streaming cost.... would love to watch this 😁
Join for a month and watch all the episodes
It's on Netflix.
Queen Elizabeth I was PHENOMENAL! Queen Elizabeth II should, henceforth, be known as Elizabeth the Great!!! 💔❤
I think Beloved would be good.

Has any other actor played both Churchill and Roosevelt?
I ❤ this Margaret
When even the Spectre of Death curtseys (4:38).
what does that mean?
@@mariahoulihan9483 It means that when Queen Mary enters all in black (as per mourning), she looks like the Spectre of Death.
The closed captioning is atrocious. You've had plenty of time to correct it, for posterity if nothing more.
It’s the distribution company controlled not production
He was but you must remember the conventions of the times
Amazing
How accurate is The Crown? It gives the impression that the Royal Family have been very unhappy for a long time.
The weigh of the crown
It seems to go with the job. I'm thankful to be an ordinary little plump peasant girl.
The ordinary people suffer far greatly,and no privileges, not even proper justice
Haven't they heard of "clean coal", lol
I found myself yelling at the screen when the abdicated King Edward dismissed her. 70 years on the throne, beloved by people all around the world, always putting her duty first, unlike you who conspired with nazis.
Wayne, take a rest kak king and god bless of you
This is so disgusting that Elizabeth wouldn't let Margaret marry the man of her dreams. She never got over the broken heart it gave her for the remainder of Margaret's Life.
They should have done like the Japanese Imperial family and made Margaret cut ties with the family, drop all titles, and become a commoner to marry.
It was Margaret’s choice. She was a spoilt and petulant Princess all her life. The newspapers were full of her doings. She chose being a privileged Royal over the man she said she loved. She could have married Peter Townsend and lived quietly as his wife. Her choice.

Still… Charles was allowed “to violate the scriptures and offend the Church” and divorce, and then marry a divorced woman, AND become a king… AND make his wife a queen…
Nice, huh?? He got away with EVERYTHING. Full house.
After Queen erii people love prince william and kate , princess anne , prince edward and Sophie. Not the one who is having crown and title
I expect the Queen felt she had not been right in her previous decision, and decided not to do it again.
Also churches changed. Divorced people can marry in churches now (there may be some exceptions) and society no longer ostracizes divorced people as occurred in the 1950’s and 60’s.
Sugar antimonarchist alert 🤣
@@lseward21exactly!
Wrong, Queen Elizabeth the I, was not her name sake. Queen Elizabeth, The Queen Mother was her name sake.
Take it up with Winston Churchill, he wrote the speech.
Actually, in reference to her regnant name, he is correct. Her Christian name, her mother is her namesake. They are different.
"My dears"? Who is this other royal?
She got way to use to telling people they couldn't marry who they loved when she certainly did. It became to much of a habit for her and it happened with Charles too. I get that the crown is the head of the church. Love like that only comes once in a lifetime. The crown and only the crown is the head of the church. So, Margaret shouldn't have been denied! Funny, she changed the law for her son, but broke her sister's heart forever and basically ruined the woman when a small bend in law would have kept her sister sound and a terrific relationship with her sister. But when it came to Charles, they changed the law for him. She just wasn't Smart enough to see that there were those who wanted to break that family up.
This is a wonderful show, the acting is top notch. The issue I have it's that much of it simply isn't real, never happened, imagined. The problem is that most viewers don't know that. They think they are watching a biography. These people are and were still alive. So, when the show creates fiction (the catty relationship between Elizabeth and Maragret, implication that Phillip spent his marriage screwing other women etc) I have issues. We don't know what the personal intimate actions and thoughts of these people had, the private conversations between sisters or a husband and wife and we shouldn't pretend we do, ESPECIALLY when everyone involved is still alive, or was and double especially when they make it scandalous. I had to stop watching it for that reason. I had too much respect for the real queen.
It was watching this series which caused me to detest pouty, self entitled, insulting Phillip. I don't know WHY she loved him.
You know this is fiction right?
@sugarkane4830 You know they're portraying the real people based on all the public - and private- knowledge of them, right? Too many people to count have shared their eyewitness accounts of Phillips jealousy and problems with Elizabeth being in a higher position of authority than himself.
She was uneducated provincial saw the world in him at 13- who else was going to marry her? He was penniless and homeless- his uncle was hoping that Philip would become king…
but of extreme beauty
Papuy god bless you
Margaret would not have sat down, while the Queen was still standing! This is absolute tripe!
THATS HER SISTER SHES allowed!!! Your comment doesn’t matter
she wouldnt let her sister her daughter or son be with who they wanted but let her grandson marry a divorced woman is a strange turn of events
How or why is that a strange turn? She allowed her divorced son, the future king, to marry a divorced mistress that had caused havoc for 20 years and allow her to become queen. If you ask me, her grandson marrying a divorced woman is tame. I'm no Megan fan by a long shot , but that marriage isn't in the same universe of things that are F up and wrong as Charles and Cowmilla.
Different times to what they are today!
Margaret could have married Peter. She chose money and title
Some people grow wiser as they grow older.

Its tradition
Nobles from Dukes/Duchesses all the way down to Lords/Ladies are allowed to wear for coronets extremely formal events. It's simply out of fashion to do so these days, which is why the actors/actresses looked silly to some.

Mommy bertahan hidup ya for papy
Princess Margaret ran so that Prince Harry could fly…..Imagine the church not allowing you to marry a divorcee.
Sadly, Prince Harry still doesn't realise that when one is born into such a privileged life, there are certain expectations of one's behaviour. Prince Harry has badly misjudged the reactions of the Royal Family, his regiment, and the majority of the people of Great Britain. It's not possible to walk away from duty to this country and behave like a 'playboy' without there being consequences. Surely, history (Edward VIII) should have taught him that.
That is truth... Harry has only to look at his parents to see what folly it is to lack the discipline of being a prince.. To whom much is given much is required "
it still applies in the RC Church so I don;t need to imagine it.
17:31 Realistically, when you are a 3 married to a 15, you can't expect to be the only one he has ever loved. That man was one of the most gorgeous men to have ever walked the earth.
She’s not a 3. And he’s not a 15.
The most gorgeous man to walk the earth? Stretch there a bit 😅
Besides. They're cousins 😅
Lol... Queen Elizabeth wasn't a 3.
How on earth was Phillip a 15?!?! In any world
Did you know that the king was given a cocktail of morphine and cocaine into his jugular vein to announce his death in the morning papers.
Given that there's absolutely zero reason to believe that's true, I'm going to go with no.
That's ridiculous, I'm a RN, a doctor or anyone that could actually get ahold of morphine, coke, and a needle gauge strong enough to puncture the jugular vein during that time period would also know enough to be able to get a normal vein to inject. Plus the amount of blood that would come from that would be noticed. Also a dying king would have around the clock care and family around.
@@thecutecat2561 Hate to have you as a Nurse! That's exactly what happened. Maybe mot the Jugular but definitely morphine and coke,Those drugs have been around for 1000's of years! That "time"Period was 1950's. Do you think they were still using leeches then?
You are correct.
@svagrod I'm aware it has been done by doctors. What threw me off was I thought they were referring to someone within the court doing it because they said the jugular vein. Of course, I know what doctor's carried in their medical bags and what they had access to. 🙄 If you read my comment I even said that if it was done by a doctor it wouldn't be done that way, at least not in that time period, meaning I wasn't discounting it being done at all just the method. I just misunderstood them, is all. Also, it was his father that they have absolute proof of this being done too, not him. If you do have a credible source that says otherwise, though, I'd love to see it, as I love history. Just because I haven't seen it doesn't mean it doesn't exist somewhere I can concede that.
Comment peux t'on croire à ces images et dialogues, issus de l'imagination des scénaristes et autres ?

Congrats for prince harry
For what? Being brainwashed by his wife? I knew that would happen when he married her.
This has nothing to do with Harry. Why does his name appear on every page. His life is just a soap opera.
I think not.
my fave scene is where Prince Philip has an outburst about how he wont kneel to the queen "like some common cuck."
Im not sure if its the actress being either amazing, or terrible, but she is never emotional. Just looks at him dead faced like the thumbnail and through the clips and just tells him "you will do just that, Philip. It is your duty." Then gets up and leaves. No emotion.
Either amazing acting to stay emotionless throughout the entire season, or a terrible actress just reading the lines. Either way, perfectly cast
Her quiet force of will is amazing.
A great actress playing a difficult part - the hubby was a jerk no doubt part of the "well she should cook my vittles and iron my undies"
