I love how she threw her head back and laughed heartily. We should all laugh that way every so often. 😂

I love the way she enjoys her dad. She's such a charming person.

For any Americans in the thread, Manchester City and Manchester United are teams in the English Premier League, and the rivalry makes the Army-Navy one seem polite.

My main thoughts is just her role in The Crown😊

I have Mainwaring's in my family ancestry. If Claire's dad descends from the Mainwaring's of Cheshire, England, his ancestry could go back to Hugh of Kevelioc, and from him, back to King Henry I.

why is everyone brushing over the fact that he was born in a home for unmarried mothers - this means his birth mother was pretty much held hostage and her baby was stolen from her.

That whole period was horrific.

No finer actress! She’s an honest person who is so unpretentious!

Mainwaring? They have relatives in Darjeeling, India. He was a Lepcha linguist. Any connection?

I wish we could see this posed if her in the parts she plays. She’s very funny.
