Queen Mary Bowing to her granddaughter Queen Elizabeth II after King George Passed away #thecrown

[michaelfulton]

This scene is based in real life. QEII said once in an interview that the gravity of becoming queen didn't hit her until her own grandmother, a once crowned and anointed queen consort in her own right, had to curtsy to her.

I read that Queen Mary died shortly before her granddaughter's coronation and that she left instructions that her death should not interfere with Queen Elizabeth's becoming queen.

The actress that played the young Queen Elizabeth was amazing.She was able to bring history to life like no other.❤

Men bow, ladies curtsey.
That is one tremendous curtsey on old knees from a past Queen to another. Powerful moment of obedience, love and support from a dear Gran who is burying her son.

Queen Mary of Teck loved her granddaughter Elizabeth, she was one of the people prepared Elizabeth to be a great Queen👑

You can see how the enormity of the moment hit Elizabeth.
Even the woman of steel must bend the knee.

Imagine you're born into a family, your grandparents are the king and queen of your country, and one fine day, having just lost your father, your grandmother, who was none other than the queen when you were born and during your childhood, bows down to you.

It slowly sinks in. The gravity of her position. Beautifully acted.

My Dad Guarded Queen Mary and always spoke about seeing her every morning with her face as white as snow. He didn't know if it was makeup or some cream, but her face was white like back in the times of the big wigs that came from the French monarch. He was the Same age as Queen Elizabeth. He loved the royal family.

While watching "The Crown", I immediately got goosebumps over this scene 🔥

The most profound moment and the best acting from these 2 actresses in the entire series! Here I, as an Irish America, first understood monarchy.

[DebbieMarthey-jnkh]

This is such an example of courtesy, love & following Royal Rules ❤️

[eros-alatus]

That moment when Elizabeth realised it happens for real...

[ueqngjv]

That's wonderful !
Showing honor to the new Monarch is expected and I'm sure it caused a mixture of emotions for Queen Elizabeth, kudos to Queen Mary !!

[jessicaliddell]

God bless Queen Mary 👑 and Queen Elizabeth II may they both rest in peace 🙏

[giftedchild]

Anyone else get goosebumps watching this 😊

[tracigodwin]

The best scene ever in the whole series. Powerful. ❤

[dawnvega]

That would have broken my heart and humbled me. The realization of the full weight would be enormous, so humbling.

[rosemarytettleton]

This was one of the most moving scenes in the series, if not the most moving.

I always thought this scene was also symbolic of Elizabeth's previous life being taken away or passing and showing the gravity of what shes become
