If anything, YOU sound like you come from a hugely dysfunctional family that "has a go" a little too often and little too deeply. When my family "has a go", it's about things like someone always being cheap, not knowing how to cook, or always stinking up the bathroom. Stupid things. Not lifelong, life-changing disabilities.

However, that really seemed to ruffle feathers, so the showrunners crafted this sanitised version based on the collective fantasy of the Queen Mother.

    It’s intetesting how different the characters are. Margaret quite defeatist and fatalistic, the Queen problem-solving, upbeat, looking for a solution.
    When my granny had a stroke she was utterly strident in her determination to get better. When she was in the recuperative hospital a physiotherapist would come daily to do exercises with her, one of which was using her paralyzed hand to build up and undo lego bricks.
    When it was time to pack away, granny used to hide the lego bricks in her bed and once the physio had gone, she’d take out the lego and practise for hours until she regained mobility and motor control in her hand.
    She made an amazing recovery, and lived 12 years more, independently and actively.
    Watching this I think Granny was more like the Queen than like Margaret.

    • @girl1213
      @girl1213 4 місяці тому +14

      Margaret was more like her father, then her mother and even grandmother: she needed someone to support her. She wasn't as independent as them. She tried. She tried really hard to be, but it never worked for her because that's just a part of what makes her who she is. Many can relate to her need to have support, especially when she's at her lowest.
      I know the Queen Mother doesn't mean any harm when she throws back the "home for geriatrics" line, or says her voice has become strange, but does paint how she doesn't understand what Margaret is going through, which doesn't help Margaret. Elizabeth at least is trying by asking her questions, but she's always had something to keep her going, to keep on living. Margaret on the other hand is tired.
      A lot of elderly people get tired of living. And that's not wrong.

      It's shown earlier in the episode that after her first stroke, Margret did undergo therapy, changed her lifestyle as best she could, and did make a good recovery.
      By this point, however, she's only after a second, more serious and debilitating stroke, and as talked about in the scene, her feet have been irreparably scalded, more or less crippling her.
      I can kind of understand her perspective at this point. You know how it's said you can tell when you're going to die soon. Margaret in the show is accepting that her health in all likelihood is not going to get better and that it's only a matter of time before another stroke kills her outright. So, might as well enjoy the last few months left to you instead of fighting the inevitable

Not taking her medications properly. Suffers from left hemiplegia. It's heartbreaking, she just gave up and had no interest in recovery.

      No parent wants to outlive their child.
      Same thing happened to Queen Mary with Bertie, aka "King George VI," but by then she lost her two youngest children, John and George. She outlived *three* children. Bertie was likely the final straw for her, but she held on long enough to basically tell the Mountbattens to "bugger off" with their idea that they should be the new Royal House, and that her granddaughter's coronation should not be stopped, put on hold, or anything just because she happen to die before it.
      For The Queen Mom, it was doing one final duty to her eldest by being there for her one last time at Margaret's funeral.

      That's the most sensible comment I've read on this topic. Of course, what could she do? You're not allowed to marry whom you want, you're not allowed to do anything meaningful with your life, you're not allowed to run any charities that might remotely interest you, your job is just to breathe and walk 20 metres behind your sister 2 or 3 times a year, you're basically living in a prison (a golden one, no doubt, but still a prison). You might as well have some bloody fun, otherwise you'd go crazy waiting to die.

      Peter Townsend wasn't a good man, he was a married father of two children who was almost 16 years older than Margaret. Considering his position as part of the household staff, getting involved with his employer's teenaged daughter was predatory on his part. Note that he replaced Margaret with an even younger woman following their breakup. But yes, the Queen should've blocked the marriage to Armstrong-Jones also and arranged a suitable man herself - Margaret clearly made bad choices in men.

Tot ce a fost in primele 40 de episoade cristalizeaza in 5 si 6.
