Which "The Crown" moment shocked YOU the most? Let us know below!
The queen breaks the promise to princesses Margaret
Definitely Fagan breaking into the Palace for a chat with the Queen, or the Aberfan disaster!
What about the feud with the Kennedys?
Can you do a video about the tv show Ratched ?
Surely not the princess Margaret one. If Margaret would have really wanted to marry him she could have. I understand it was painful for both of them but the Queen had very good reasons to nto allow the marriage. Margaret could have left and gone on to marry Townsend but she prefered the life style being royal allwoed her to live. She had a choice and she made it.
When Philip asked the Queen why she had never danced for him like Diana did for Charles, and she replied with "because if memory serves, you had your own ballerinas for that" i was on the floor
@Valerie Lopez
Was it the invented dialogue that caused you to collapse in an untidy and unladylike heap or were you having a boozy night?
@@gordonsmith8899 what are you talking about lmao
@Valeria López That was an amazing burn! I LOVED that moment!
That's was brilliant, haha
@@gordonsmith8899 it's definitely in there , made me laugh too
Claire Foy's acting during the Duke of Windsor/ Nazi storyline was so layered. Shock, betrayal, anger, and determination all woven into a wonderful performance.
Then they virtually forgot it in the third season.
The episode clearly illustrated the dilemma and conflict she faced as both Head of State and Supreme Governor of the Church of England.
and you could see all emotions in her eyes without even speaking a word.
Claire Foy was my favorite Queen on tThe Crown!
@@devonaeastman389 Mine too. I wish that Claire Foy would’ve been kept on through the next few seasons and just aged with makeup or prosthetics. She was my favourite Queen. The same with the actor who played Prince Phillip in the first two seasons.
Not shocking but funny: Elizabeth saying, "I'm darling or cabbage, sweetie is someone else."
Yes!!!🤣
I agree
It Was funny
Anne getting the reporter to interview Princess Alice was incredible !
I have been thinking the whole time that
Princess Anne’s fierce attitude was awesome !
I hope she never changed considering with Mark Phillips did to her
Something I didn’t know about til I was researching things from the Crown
What an Ass !
@@kristatrenary Yeah. Early season four she was funny but later when Di entered the picture, she became more mean, I noticed.
@@kneelingfish437
Anne ?
@@kristatrenary Yeah or at least TV Anne
The fight between charles and Diana is such an acting masterpiece!
Which episode? Haven't seen the crown yet and would like to jump to it!
Agreed. If you close your eyes and take the word Camilla out of it, one could assume to be listening to Henry VIII berating Kathryn of Aragon about Anne Boelyn. For a family that is so wholly focused on keeping tradition alive, they do certainly repeat their own history rather frequently.
@@thebelissima64 yup. And Diana is descended from Georgiana Cavendish, Duchess of Devonshire. There are a lot of tragic parallels between Diana and Georgiana’s unhappy marriages as well.
Charles probably is more disgusting in real life did you know he wore special cuff links engraved CC for Charles and Camilla on his honeymoon??? And dropping Camilas/camels picture on the wedding day
They both won a Golden Globe for it. So deserved.
I found the most shocking part of the Crown was discovering
how poor the Queen’s education was when she was a child
and the unbelievable response of the Queen Mother thinking it was sufficient
yeah, she did have constitutional history lessons throughout her teenage years as is seen in the show, but she was the last british heir that didn't go to a normal school
apparently the Queen is fluent in French though. Unfortunately everything in this show has to be questioned because in some episodes they completely invent stuff.
Margaret’s education was even worse.
@@ginnyhogan6386 hmm I suppose she didn't care about it as much either
Until her Uncle abdicated, it was not thought that she’d be Queen.
My top "Crown" moment was definitely the discovery of Katherine and Nerissa, the cousins who were hidden away in a mental hospital. Helena's acting in that episode is so poignant and moving! 😢
so true 🥺
Thoroughly agree, a very moving episode.
and at the end of the episode, when Margaret is alone at the pool and looks so utterly desperate... Helena should win awards just for that episode (and the series as a whole, but she's particularly excellent here)
I was shocked and in tears whilst I finally grew to the queen mother that went back down after and to be quite honest she did blame the abdication for everything very glad Margaret scolded her
Aquariangoddess it's called the hereditary principle. Hope that helps.
It's probably not on this list, but let's recall when Elizabeth was told what Jackie Kennedy said about her and the palace. Heartbreaking and shocking. Claire could not have been more glorious in that scene. Her eyes.
Yep. It was Jackie's dalliance with amphetamines caused it. She was normally not such a crass woman.
That was brilliant. Eyes and face still as ice, but weins on the neck trembling with every new information.
@@PerfectlySpicy Jackie was an uptight, judgy elitist who was only obsessed with fashion. amphetamines don’t change character, darling. you either have it or you don’t.
I remember that scene. I thought, she outlived her too.
As an American I was em-barest of that also of Johnson mouthing of.
Prince Phillip was warning Diana rather than being against her.
That's the way I saw it as well.
Yeah I agree. I saw it as him kind of protecting her. From what I've heard, Phillip had a bit of a soft spot for Diana.
@@CatieCass
He’d protect anyone but I knew what was coming though and it hit me
I agree. He had nothing to gain by her death. Neither did Queen Elizabeth. Only Charles did. The heir to the throne could not remarry with a living ex-wife it seems. It still took nearly another 8 years for him for Elizabeth to allow him to marry Camilla; and at the point Elizabeth said Camilla would become princess consort at her death. Charles eventually got his way through. He eventually wore his mother down, although it speaks volumes that she did not agree until the frail age of 95 and recently widowed that she finally agreed to Camilla being queen consort. I do feel if Charles did not have Diana killed, it was powerful fans/friends of his. I do not believe the garbage about Diana being a threat to national British security so the CIA and M16 did it together. She was no threat. How is wanting land mines removed a threat? If she was any threat, it was only to the British monarchy continuing.
I've never thought that the royal family had Diana killed when every year many people die in traffic accidents but people wish to believe what they want whilst ignoring facts.
One of the best, for not to say THE best, Netflix show.
Agreed!!!
original netflix shows or just on netflix?
Strange things is also best
@@breadzeppelin2165 Original Netflix show
I SO agree.
The Aberfan disaster made me cry through the whole episode. My Grandmother was born in a village not too far from Aberfan. Her Father and his were miners. The family still talks about the spoil tips and how gigantic they were even in our village. I've heard about this disaster all my life but to see it portrayed was very emotional for me. Easily could have happened in our village.
Both of my Nanny’s were 15/16 when this tragedy happened.
As a Welshwoman this episode made me cry too.
Prayers for Aberfan
@@miguelangelpacheco8673
I grieved on the anniversary and Mummy hardly noticed because I was hiding it
Apparently the Queen has made more visits to Aberfan than any other "small town" in the United Kingdom. As was reported she did realise her error especially when her brother in law (Lord Snowden) made his own way there - via car and public transport and then Prince Philip made an official visit.
The acting from Claire Foy during the scene where she finds out her uncles dark secret, was outstanding.
The fact that it was a true story really got me by surprise! How very close to total change our two countries game.
@@ankathreenhoffman8192 .....and it all hinged on the sexual prowess of an American divorcee.
@@ocgotme what was the actual and real stories?
Also she foy is pretty hpt in normal make up
@@Jason.cbr1000rr the real story? The King abdicated when he couldn't marry his mistress, an American divorcee. He is the head of the Church of England after all.
I just finished watching all four seasons recently, I loved it so much. The Aberfan disaster had me in tears and almost every scene with Princess Diana did too.
I did not like it. I moved on from listening to too much the fighting.
I couldn’t do Diana’s scenes because she died so young and Mummy is worried for my behaviour deteriorating again. I only watched season 4 to see Mountbatten
The queens hidden cousins was a disgrace and I'm glad the TV put it in the show to highlight how the upper class treat people with a disability
Not upperclass but thats how most people with disability were treated back in those days because there wasnt much knowledge about mental illnesses back then so people see them as freaks. Its only heightened by the position of the royal family but even middle class people or lower did that too
@@lalAlyssa It still happens to this day. People treat others like trash, especially being seen as outcast.
There's more to know about 'inconvenient' members of the Firm -- you can find documentaries about Prince John (epileptic)
-- hidden away & not even allowed to attend family gatherings: & Prince William of Kent, who finally managed to toe the Party Line.....but was still 'disappeared' in a mysterious air crash;
Curiously, the one who reached out & tried to protect his siblings was the shy & gentle misfit who would become King George VI (hero of
'The King's Speech' 💔
--- Elizabeth's Father!
Here here 🙌
Don't forget that some people were sectioned, or threatened with sectioning, when quite normal ,but in the way.
Olivia Coleman and Claire Foy’s performance as Queen Elizabeth is exceptionally flawless and spot on 👌
Especially claire's unbelievable
Claire was stellar in that role but, frankly, Olivia was not. She played the Queen as a rather sulky person - out of her depth. Her performance bore no resemblance to HMQEII.
@@WBCRO Agree I don’t like Colman as the Queen. She is brilliant however in Landscapers. It will be interesting to see how Imelda Staunton plays her.
I thought Olivia Coleman was awful. Olivia Coleman can only play Olivia Coleman. She sounded like the Queen who had come back after living on an inner city housing estate for the last 10 years. Claire Foy was wonderful.
Honestly, I think the Death of King George should had at least gotten honorable mention. Especially Margo's face when she hear's her mother's crying coming from the King's bedroom. For some reason, that scene gives me goosebumps and definitely touches a nerve. I know the show is about Queen Elizabeth, but I really wish we would have gotten more of King George. Perhaps the first season should have started with the Abdication and followed the King and the harrowing experience of the Blitz and through the Second World II.
He was bumped off that morning to make a convenient announcement
The kings mother bowing to Elizabeth after his death was the most intense moment in my opinion
The movie The Kings Speech covers the Abdication, George VI getting the throne, his speech therapy, and the beginning of WW2. If you are interested.
The whole scene was imagined by the production company Stephen.
It was a shocking one definitely
Oh god the story of churchill painting this damn pond... so heartbreaking. I loved the storyline and generally the character - it really was touching.
He's, that! And the bathtub scene where he splashed water all over the floor, and soaks that poor girl's knees!
The Aberfan disaster and the way the Queen behaved and how she has been to wales on a number of occasions since. RIP to the many who lost their lives
I actually kind of understand why she acted the way she did. As she said in the show, nothing slows things down like a royal visit. When people are still digging up their children's bodies, I can't imagine they'd want to be greeting a queen.
@@oliviamackenzie9725 she visited the grenfell disaster the same week. We all live and learn x
@@oliviamackenzie9725 your not wrong. Damned if she did damned if she didn’t.
It’s the same reason the US generally sends the Vice President during the rescue phase of hurricanes/ other natural disasters. The president travelling takes away even more emergency workers, closes down whole roadways, travels with an ambulance etc. Though I know that when she went she promised to return to open the new school - and kept that promise however many years it was later and revisited the families too
@@nic3525
I cried with that disaster in 2017. The minutes silence in school was very hard to do
Princess Alice DID get her story told thanks to "The Crown".
@Saz Fretz yes!!!! I never knew about Princess Alice until I watched The Crown. The Crown is my favourite show ever!!
@@sophiee.h
I never knew until the day we lost Prince Philip and that’s how I fallen in love with him at the wrong time sadly
I agree. I found a really good documentary on UA-cam after watching the episode devoted to Princess Alice. (I cringe now if someone mentions Freud ... Ugh!!) .... PEACE.
Not to mention the documentary 'the queen's mother in law' from a few years ago. It was hardly a secret.
I felt awful for her, the way she was treated in the mental hospital yet still devoting her life to helping others is just🥺
the most shocking to me was when Lord Mountbatten boat exploded.. i literally gasp during that scene since i didnt know much abt their history..
I only knew about it because my uncle was supposed to be the chef (he was in the navy) and when it was on the news my dad, gran and aunt/uncles all thought he was on the boat until he showed up at their door. felt so weird to actually see that happen even if just reinacted xxx
Mountbatten had advised Charles to have fun, then marry some "nice virgin" for heirs. Not necessary to love her.
@@veramae4098
It was so rumoured but like most of the 'insider' information in this series, conjectural.
I seen a documentary about that today and I held it in but then I cried my eyes out when I was with Nanny
Uncle David's revelation was definitely a shocker for me. He was portrayed in an increasingly sympathetic role but that changed everything
Yes he was such an ambivalent character. The TV version, anyway. Several times you found yourself half-agreeing with what he said or at least doubting if he was wrong about absolutely everything. Then came that revelation.
It gave me chills when they showed the actual photos .
He single-handedly helped thousands die by committing treason of the worst kind, revealing the allies’ strategy to the Nazis and encouraging the bombing of his own country so he could reclaim power and embrace the Third Reich. David was evil and should’ve been executed, and if he were any other person, he would’ve been.
That scene literally changed my perspective towards him. Elizabeth's reaction was as similar as mine, took my breath away!
The historical David was absolutely a Nazi - I was prepared for the episode but I was NOT expecting them to use the real photograps. Oof, that made my skin crawl.
the most shocking moment of the entire series is the death of king george and the entrance of his mother on her knees in front of the new queen.
That was a DEEP curtsy.
@@AuntieL_ATL especially at 80-something year old former Queen consort that was just recently also a Queen Mother Mary of Teck. Damn.
That scene is amazing . . .
Yes, when Queen Mary did a deep curtsy to the new queen, thats when it hit her that she is the new monarch, imagine ur grandmother bowing down to you. That episode was a masterpiece, with the intense music, the black outfits, the phenomenal acting, the guy talking on the mic, and when the men stood up to say "God save the Queen" three time, it gave me goosebumps and made me shiver.
I love how Helena Bonham Carter, Charles Dance and a number of other prominent British actors, appear in just about all of the tv dramas about the royals.
The most shocking moments are when the Queen shows her political side, because I don't expect it from her and the way she talks with Thatcher and the other one is discovering the cousins.
She was standing up for right, Apartheid was reprehensible.
The cousins did not need to be 'discovered' by the family - - that part is fiction,
The Tuesday evening meetings between the Queen and the PM are never recorded and are strictly private. The whole sequence was fictional.
I liked the way she took on thatcher
I agree wholeheartedly.. if she didnt like Margaret Thatcher, she should at least have had the good manners to respect her. That episode was appalling.
I would put Jacqueline Kennedy's criticism of the Queen on this list. It is shocking that could have happened. I never would think Mrs. Kennedy would have done that, but The Crown makes it seem plausible. The Queen's response is to suggest bringing Mrs. Kennedy back and trying again. RIP Mrs. Kennedy. Spectacular episode.
Princess Alice’s story was just so wonderful and heartbreaking.
I broke down in tears 😭
1:00 OMG Emma’s voice sounds identical to Diana’s. What a great job she did!
That's what actresses do for a living .... They have to be good
I still like the scene where Mountbatten is sacked and he leaves in a manner befitting Tywin Lannister.
Lol
Too bad that he took two teenagers with him.
Gillian Anderson is magnificent as Margaret Thatcher. Great cast overall, actually.
@liz Damião - 💯 % agree! Gillian Anderson’s performance is truly spectacular!
@@TeresaAE I loved the episode where Thatcher is invited to Balmoral and is just such a fish out of water.
Is that her? Crikey great acting ...
The Aberfan avalanche episode was amazingly done... The effects and this city in mourning. I felt it.
Yeah. I like the way they use times in history as themes. TBH I know there was criticism of the queen not going to Aberdan immediately as when Diana died and shielded her grandkids I think she may have exercised sound judgement in both cases. Tough calls. Easy to criticism from the outside
For me the most shocking moment is when princess Diana dance for Prince Charles for his birthday at the ballet that they was attending and the next morning the Queen and Prince Phillip was discussing it during breakfast cause it was in the morning paper! And Prince Philip asked the Queen why she never did dance or do that for him and she said you had your own ballerina for that and Prince Philip couldn’t say nothing!!
Was there a reporter at the Queen's breakfast table?
He was so jealous of Elizabeth being Queen. He hurt her everywhere he could.
Does this mean he had a mistress?
Yes, a Russian woman. He kept her photo and Elizabeth found it.
@@roserea3156 Wow. Thanks for this info.
The episode with Princess Alice's story tugged my heartstrings. Glad The Crown told her story
There is an interesting documentary about Princess Alice on UA-cam. ....PEACE.
This is a basket of riches from which it is nearly impossible to pick a favorite. With that, I have to say Jane Lapotaire gave an acting Master Class as Princess Alice - so understated, textured, and nuanced. Her reading of the line, “Oh, who cares,” in response to her brother’s (Lord Mountbatten) lament about the state of the Empire as she lay dying, gave new meaning to the word “poignant.”
I couldn't agree more. Her voice and infection on, "oh, who cares..." has become a mantra when I feel irritation coming on, or just fed up with the world in general. "It's not our problem anymore..." Amen. Unfortunately, I have not led an amazing life of selflessness and achievement as Princess Alice so nobly did.
Phillip's mother was a princess who knew sacrifice, pain, and betrayal in a way Margaret and Elizabeth never did. In a way she is the real queen.
The moment when Thatcher revealed to Elizabeth that her son had business interests in South Africa unmasking her true motive for not agreeing to the sanctions. It also explains Elizabeth’s response “of course” when she hears the news. It’s a small fleeting moment but one that got a visceral response from me.
Philip warning Diana is more like a natural thing. He's smart enough to know the possibilities even without it being fatal. He recognizes the free- spirited Diana, the possible life she would lead and the decisions that she would make.
I HATE what Charles did to Diana. He lured her into the web and then crawled away, into the arms of another arachnid.
Don't be ridiculous. diana was not the Virgin Mary. She was manipulative, should have had at least some dedication to duty.
Charles was God awful to Di, who was the last person to deserve it
@@sedekiman r u crius?? charles was so insensitive and full of himself
It wasn't just him. It was also the creepy family lurky behind every decision.
To reiterate and earlier comment - this series was a DOCUDRAMa and scripted for controssversy and to appeal to a gullible audience
The most shocking part for me was the Aberfan disaster.
I only found out about this 5 years ago and I cry on October 21st every year. I’m a very sensitive girl with emotion issues
This series enriched my understanding of so much history. Had enormous value.
Still a lot of fiction in some episodes.
Thank you for including the Aberfan disaster, before season 4 that was my top moment
The most chilling moment of The Crown is when the newly ascended QUEEN Elizabeth II returns to Sandringham and greets the family. The QUEEN Mother and Princess Margaret curtsy to her, and then we see the dowager QUEEN Mary (QE2's granny) take a deep, solemn and subservient curtsy to the new, young QUEEN. Claire Foy's face portraying the fact that the former princess NOW realizes she is THE QUEEN is pure perfection. I still get goosebumps everytime I watch it. Claire Foy is amazing, and I have loved her ever since Little Dorrit on PBS.
Most emotional scene is Phillip understood his mother and goes for a walk I this series really emotional for me love this series from India
I never had an interest in the Royal family at all but this is one of the best TV shows ever made.
The story about David Windsor, the Germans, the Marburg files, and the plans to overthrow King George VI
Agreed. Riveting.
He got off lightly
The most shocking moment for me was when the queen came down on Charles for how he was treating Diana. I mean just wow.
I’m mad how Charles treats Diana. I’m depressed that she died young
I agree. And exhorting him to start behaving like a king if he expected to be one. Priceless!
Yet she did nothing about his relationship with Camilla, just disappointing
@@cherylcuttineau7916 Hes a great King already... Di was sooo wrong...
@@hhoney7441 who btw King Charles is still with... Lot more than three in the marriage... and not from his side of it....
the acting in The Crown is absolutely perfect 👌
A number of things, as others have already listed here. In addition, I think Emma is great as Diana and masters her voice, grace, inflection, insecurity, and many of her mannerisms. However well-acted, casting for Camilla is enormously generous in regard to physical appearance at that time.
Don't agree - I thought Diana was the weakest acting performance among those of the major characters, which otherwise were all unbelievably good. She was too insipid.
I loved her dance with Ghana's president Kwame Nkrumah.
Most shocking by far is the sceen where Charles screams at Diana that her popularity hurts him and Camilla. Left me wondering why she didn't punch hos face inside out
Thank you! I thought I was the only one!
The ironic thing is that it wasn't the Queen who had betrayed Margaret by refusing to give her permission to marry Peter Townsend. It was Margaret who had refused to marry him, because she didn't want to give up her position in the line of succession to the throne. It was a decision that didn't really serve Margaret in the end.
Not succession but money. She was never to inherit the crown...she was no senior male and Queen was already a mother to the next heir. So it was a lifestyle change in truth and a broken promise that prevents Margaret from marrying her choice. THE royals can chose but they have to give up the freebies (Edward, Harry and Diana )by varying degrees, money, homes titles pampering etc. It comes down to the money or the man in each and every case, decades before or after the choice is the same
@@tigerlilly9038 The Eden government was willing to allow Margaret to keep her HRH title and income if she had married Townsend. She would have only been forced to give up her position in the line of succession. Which was something she was irrationally not willing to give up.
I thought it was bc she would have been taken off the civil list, and therefore would not be supported financially anymore. She didn't want to give up the trappings of royalty.
Exactly! I remember her saying that she would let it all go just to have him.
Explosive climax, good choice of words!
Loved Dear Mrs. Kennedy, the acting of everyone was amazing and so touching. Loved this episode!!!
“ If memory serves , you’ve had your own ballerinas for that ” is my fav line
Yes & actually did!!
Aberfan breaks my heart 💔 such a tradgedy such a loss. The Queen should’ve made an appearance sooner but she’s now humbly honest and regrets it. ♥️
I don't agree with this list, Charles and Diana's argument was a bigger moment than Philip's conversation with her. And you didn't include Camilla saying "I'm all for sharing" that's what made the restaurant scene actually shocking.
Mines was definitely Kathrine and Narrisa and also when Margaret tried to committ suicide and the Queen mother says “it was mire of a cry fir attention than an actual suicide attempt”
Yeah the Queen Mother is definitely one of my least favorite. She acts like a brat and she acts like she's still queen.
@@kneelingfish437 yes so true
I agree with the QM.
@@kneelingfish437 while watching last season Queen mother was so fucking annoying I had to check Wikipedia twice to learn when tf she dies. She is such a horrible human being.
Omg yes!!! I dont know if she was as horrible in real life as they portray her here, but in this show, I find her so annoying!!!
I cried during the whole Aberfan episode. Incredible.
It’s 55 years today for it. Nanny told me that her dad called her soon as the disaster happened and she was only 16. Nanny told me in 2017
The guy who invaded buckingham palace was wild-The story was slightly fabricated in the show but it is true that the queen spoke to him for a while
I agree - it shocked me too. The fact that Michael Fagan came into Buckingham Palace not once, but TWICE, was just that much more shocking. 😮😲
Another good show!! Thanks immensely.
Loved all seasons,can’t wait for the new ones!
Hats off to Claire Foy for her excellent performance. It was a delight to watch her reaction when her friend told her about the comments made by Mrs. Jackie Kennedy.
Ohhh Lilibeth!!!!
I agree, Claire Foy was brilliant as The Queen. I think she was both disappointed and hurt by Jackie's insults. However, I loved that she invited Jackie to lunch at Windsor Castle. .... PEACE
@sdlimaye: I believe the sentiments about the Buckingham Palace that Mrs. Kennedy expressed had more to do in comparison to how she found the White House after Mrs. Eisenhower‘decorated’ it. Mrs. Kennedy felt the White House should reflect the art and culture of the country, not an Army PX store. She likely felt that Buckingham Palace should have been the same and more elegant. Instead she thought it was dowdy and perhaps it does have an old traditional appearance. Of course the Queen has more to worry about than Mrs. Kennedy and did not palm off the least desirable parts of her job to others as Mrs. Kennedy did.
Princess Margaret’s story is my life Bible, I started watching the show in the midst of deciding to choose love or listen to my family’s terrible advice yet again after being married to a raging narcissist for 18 years. I have cut off my family and decided to choose love and be with the love of my life and I have zero regrets. my heart weeps for Princess Margaret death is better than living without your true love
I LOVED the Diana & Camilla lunch scene. Because I enjoyed seeing the difference of maturity & age portrayed between the two. Nice touch in the acting.
"nothing can prepare you" for Lord Mountbatten's death... unless you're a historian... which I am. That being said- despite knowing it was coming as soon as the date appeared onscreen, I was shocked at how deeply the Aberfan episode made me feel. Amazing acting from the whole cast and a seriously respectful production by the showrunners.
An absolutely compelling show with some superb acting.
Im cried while watching the episode aberfan tragedy..
The Aberfan episode was the most unexpected and moving .
What was there in that episode?
@@rishikamatre1894 a tragedy in village killing a lot of children
@@rishikamatre1894
A tragedy that happened in real life in 1966. It hurts to even remember them
Not prepared for the anniversary a month today away. I cried during my school years over it
1966 was a year of contrasts for the UK. England had won the World Cup in the summer and then there was the horror of Aberfan in October. I was 14 at the time, and the scenes of the townspeople digging up coal slag waste with their bare hands to try to rescue their buried children was heartbreaking to the whole nation. We were all really emotional about it, and it still does bring tears to the eyes. The families grief and anger must have been unimaginable.
There was a lot of criticism of the media at the time. I recall complaints of the media, with all their equipment and cables, actually getting in the way of rescuers. There was a sense of "if you are not there to help, then please stay away"
Queen Mary's appearance in the palace hallway in veiled mourning -- and that curtsey that took her nearly to the floor in front of the new Queen Elizabeth. Chilling.
Aberfan, definitely. And when the old queen Mary of Teck kneels down before Elizabeth II.
So true... Mary of Teck's kneeling always gives me shivers..
Stop calling her Mary of Teck -- she was Mary Queen/ Empress of the United Kingdom.
@@Chuck0856 She was Mary of Teck to, though, wasn't she? She is referred to as such in her wikipedia article.
Did anyone else get chills during the scene with Mountbatten writing the letter to Charles?😳
Mountbatten always was a thoroughgoing rogue, with a lurid private life (his nickname during WW2 was "Mountbottom").
Yes and it was one of my worst dreams of September 2021, and it was so unexpected. Now I know who did it and the documentary got me so mad but really upset. I’m still not recovering from it and I hope there’s more episodes coming of my beloved Mountbatten. I can’t believe I’ve cried for 4 days
The portrayal of Margaret Thatcher was excellent , voice , mannerisms and hair 👍🏻
That first scene is so ridiculous, Philip was famously supportive of Diana throughout the breakup. Leaked letters even show that he was on her side more than Charles', with him showing utter confusion over why he'd not try and fix things with her
I had known about Princess Alice and thought her story was told very sympathetically in The Crown.
If more than a little invented.
@@Chuck0856 how was it invented? I’m curious
Including the fictional inventions?
@@Chuck0856 well Charles, it's a TV programme.
I have read extensively about Princess Alice and in my opinion, as humble as it may be, the crown dealt with her story beautifully.
I just adored this series. It taught me so much . I respect the Royals even more with greater understanding of the history.
All moments of The Crown are moving to me. Specially I admire on the Queen her sense of duty.
After her, who knows will happen with the British Monarchy.
The serie is a tribute to Queen Elizabeth II.
The only hope is on William and Catherine.
🌺💖❤️🌸🍀
Once Ginger and Whinger have settled down and got the TV deals they want, the focus will be back on the younger royals- William and Kate and Beatrice and Eugienie and their husbands. In then years William's children will be old enough to be good PR. Should Philip not survive Meghan is going to have made herself very unpopular over this. The British Monarchy is worth several billion dollars to the British economy so they won't be getting rid of it anytime soon.
@@MsJubjubbird You were right. Meghan is the devil. Such a malignant narcissist. I do feel sorry for Harry. He's going to have a very rough go over the next many years.
One of my favourite shows on Netflix! tremendous acting, extraordinary writing, production and direction. Cinematography is next level.
My favorite episode was the WWII document discovery. Awesome acting and riveting story. I've watched that episode several times.
One of the very best!
It may or may not be true to life. The "Marburg files" have never been more than rumour, Windsor always vehemently denied he ever colluded with the Nazis, and plenty of people had strong motives to smear him (even this script leaves open the possibility Lascelles is simply lying). Agree its awesome writing and acting, though.
@@kenoliver8913 But we KNOW Edward VIII went to Germany. We KNOW he met with Hitler and his henchmen. We KNOW he didn't go there for a photo opportunity.
@@choward5430 But that was all as part of his attendance at the 1936 Olympic games in Berlin! There is no evidence he ever discussed politics with Hitler and co on his visit.
@@kenoliver8913 I beg to differ with you, sir. King Edward and Wallis Simpson visited Germany in October 1937.
Fantastic series! I continued to miss Claire Foy though in 3 & 4. Also learned more history from the series!
okay but the fact that elizabeth finding the ballerina photo isn't here or even in the mentions should be illegal
Because it wasn’t real they made it up for drama.
That was a ridiculous invention. The ballerina they named, Galina Ulanova, was one of the great dancers of the 20th century and no party girl. The KGB would not have permitted it. I found it insulting, not just to Prince Philip, but to the audience as well.

very very great crazy list I like it a lot great job mis mojo one of my very favorite list ever
One of my fav scenes was when Margaret Thatcher read The Queen stating her father couldn't bequeath her a title, but instead he gave her grit, determination and common sense! The Queen had her moments too, when she referred to Margaret's son as "The Explorer" when he got lost during a desert expedition. That exchange between the two was the absolute Best!
Claire Foy is God honest one of the best actresses on this generation. From the Girl in the Spiders Web to The Crown..
I loved 'The Crown', I watched it twice, and was splendid. Cheers
“And IT was splendid”.
I love all of The Crown and really looking forward to season 5!
I binged watch this show back in November when season 4 came out and I was obsessed! I need season 5 now
Same. That's why I'm completely tuned in to the Harry and Meghan interview with Oprah mess, it's like a couple of new episodes.
I’m obsessed with Season 4 too because I wanted to see Mountbatten and Diana
Lol I did the same, and ya, season 5 can't come fast enough! I hear it's to be in Nov of next year.
Such great acting, by every single one in the series.
Thank you for your fantastic video about this Monumental presentation. They did Justice to the Royals 🏆🇬🇧🏴
I love this show so damn much.
Camila was cocky and i was waiting for that moment Diana would put her in her place but it never came 😭😭all she did was make the people favor her more to make Camila look bad but in the end i was still wanting her to be put in her place.
Diana= wife
Camila= play toy
She snaps back eventually. If you watch her tapes series on Netflix, you hear all about it!
Diana, In Her Own Words
@@torontotsts8218 say no more
In the end, Diana ended up dead and Camilla is alive and married to Charles, I'm sure Diana would rather be alive and spend time with her grandchildren than being dead and idolized.
@@CaptainPikeachu the point is she deserves better than what she got and Charles and Camilla don’t
The Crown is the best and awesome tv series of Netflix in all the time the story is very cool and interesting,the drama is awesome and cool and the characters are interesting and curious
Because it's the reality
@@nextlifedreams8655 it’s not. A documentary shows the reality, the crown mixes reality and fiction to create a drama series.
Please learn better English
@@franziskamaria5157 you are not English, you are clueless
@@kaylaireland3494 and you aren’t because you have Ireland in your name? The crown is a drama series not a documentary, what about that is questionable or says I am clueless?
There are proofs out there for multiple occasions when they produced fiction, the letter from Lord Mountbatton, Princess Alice’s interview, Princess Margaret’s engagement, which would have been allowed, etc.
I am not saying it’s all lies, but it’s not all truths either.
How could the Queen not wear black when she went to Aberfan, or at least a more somber color? If she wasn't allowed to wear black because of some kind of protocol, then she should have at least worn a very dark color such as navy blue. I know she wears bright colors to be seen, but this needed to have been an exception.
My thought exactly. What a faux pas!
If Aberfan didn't require black, the protocol should be reexamined and changed
I love this show! All of it. The acting is amazing.
This is a wonderful television show. Its entertainment! That being said for those of us that didn't grow up in the UK and had to learn things via world history...there is an enormous amount of information that was omitted and or misconstrued by the writers for entertainment purposes. Based in what I learned about the Imperialist culture of the UK and how the family had to conform and change in order to survive they didn't change on a fundamental level as individuals. Being an individual was not wanted and if individualism was hinted it was stamped out.
What Philip said was correct. It was the real talk. Diana forgot the center of the Buckingham was never her, it was Elizabeth II.
Something the new in-law, Meghan, conveniently forgets for her own gain as well.
Claire Foy is Queen.
The treasonous depth's of Duke of Windsor's betrayal (which is entirely authentic) is beyond anything I had ever known before and QE and me both have the same look of shock on our faces as we hear it from Lascelles.
Vanessa Kirbys acting is fantastic! She felt the Queens rejection of her marriage deep in her soul. 😢
Fell in love with Claire Foy bec of the Crown
As a South African born during the last stages of apartheid. I was quite happy by the queen's support
i didn't see it as a threat prince Philip was only saying no one is bigger than the crown not even the queen her self
