Which "The Crown" moment shocked YOU the most? Let us know below!

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

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.

Not shocking but funny: Elizabeth saying, "I'm darling or cabbage, sweetie is someone else."

The fight between charles and Diana is such an acting masterpiece!

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! 😢

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

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.

One of the best, for not to say THE best, Netflix show.

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.

The acting from Claire Foy during the scene where she finds out her uncles dark secret, was outstanding.

Olivia Coleman and Claire Foy’s performance as Queen Elizabeth is exceptionally flawless and spot on 👌

[stephenmyers-fulgham]

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.

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.

Prince Phillip was warning Diana rather than being against her.

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

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

[christine-kht]

Oh god the story of churchill painting this damn pond... so heartbreaking. I loved the storyline and generally the character - it really was touching.

[monokaiser]

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..

[sazfretz]

Princess Alice DID get her story told thanks to "The Crown".
