Queen: “We’ll have supper early”
Philip: “But it’s 6 o’clock?!?”
Me: “Which is when a normal family might be getting ready to have supper”
6:00 p.m. in Europe is early for dinner. 8:00 p. m. is a more normal time.
@@cremebrulee4759 In Southern and parts of Eastern Europe, yes, but not in the rest of the continent. 8pm certainly isn't THE normal time for the general population in places like the UK. Also, it's 6 o'clock in this scene and they're just arriving, it's not like they're expecting food to be served that exact instant. They're thinking dinner is probably at like 6:30-7
I really doubt that the Queen would have humiliated any of her PMs, indeed any of her guests, in that way. Even if she had had the desire to do so, I think there would have been enough royal advisors and private secretaries around to tell her that subjecting her PM to sheer embarrassment was not a brilliant idea.
You do realize this isn't a documentary, yes?
@@GoldenGodman Yes of course. But many people can't tell the difference. There is another example from the Crown which is just as glaring, that of the visit of John and Jackie Kennedy to Buckingham Palace and their ignorance of royal protocol. JFK was the son of the American Ambassasor and he was in Buckingham Palace in the 1930's attending many formal receptions, he knew the exact protocol. Jackie Kennedy was at the 1953 Coronation (covering it as a Press Photographer) and grew up in the equivalant of high American Aristocracy. They were not country bumbkins. I am just pointing out things that might not be obvious to others.
@@eddihaskell I wasn't replying to you, but it works just the same, I guess.
I'm pretty sure most people know most stuff in the Crown other then official events is heavily using poetic license. The people that don't either don't care enough or simply dislike the Royal Family and would love to act like some of the bad stuff in this show was real.
What I see here is Thatcher humiliating herself and failing at being a normal human being. It's not the royal family's fault if Thatcher is humiliated. It's because she's ignorant of the nobility's custom (when she dresses too early for dinner) or because she's too stiff and snobbish to enjoy a silly game which most normal families in England or elsewhere play at parties. Now, the question that remains is: Did Thatcher really had a whole broom stuck up her arse?
The "Balmoral Test" was documented by actual recorded thing that happened.
We have a similar game in South Africa" Only we chant Who let the cookie out the cookie jar...
Off with their heads dibble dibble.
Completely ridiculous.
Ibble Dibble?? Seems a strange game.
They are a strange family.
Eu amo esse episódio
Thatcher dressed casually as always, she could have at least made an effort.
Stupid series...😮
Why exactly? I thought the acting was sublime. The production value was incredible.
@@boxsterman77 Because it's more about the writer than the actual story. There's no nuance or insight here (which the actors could portray), just a writers tribalistic hate coup counting using events that never happened with a caricature.
@@MrCSeiberlin Fruit salad, literally... The point of the scene was to contrast how Thatcher was an outsider to the Royal family, and not familiar with their habits, which is a theme portrayed throughout the show, whenever Thatcher was involved with the Royals. It is irrelevant if it happened or not, the show is not a documentary. If you thought it was, then you are obviously misguided.
@@herlandercarvalho It was totally unlike Thatcher. She was no shrinking violet unsure of how to act in stressful situations (making the scene totally unlike her). She was a seasoned politician and not one to be cowed by the Royals, (of all people considering the other more dangerous high profile folks she had to deal with).
But to illustrate why this scene doesn't fit her actual character there is this famous story where she visited the SAS and participated in close fire drill as the hostage with live rounds in 'the Killing House'.
Her bodyguard (George) was against it but she insisted on being the hostage. They put her and the bodyguard in a totally dark room with cardboard cutouts. SAS kicks down the door, does their business and when the smoke clears Thatcher is sitting at the table with her hands resting on her purse. Her bodyguard is cowering under the table. According to the SAS, an irate Thatcher told her bodyguard "Get up George, you're embarrassing me".
They get her character so wrong in this series is essentially a dishonest smear. You can hate her policies and disagree but if you are writing something that is loosely based on reality it should actually be close to it. Privately Thatcher didn't even talk like that (she was higher pitched and had to be trained to speak lower for public speeches) , but again it's used to portray her as a villainous bumbling caricature in the series which if you are basing characters who are real (and known) break the drama in favor of the writers own hang ups.
