Love how the writing explores the dual sides of Queen Elizabeth in the series... the one that wonders and yearns for a life she once dreamt of and her role as monarch and queen. You can see how it transitions the moment she takes the call.

Olivia Coleman is brilliant. I could watch her for days and still beg the heavens for more time in the week. What an extraordinary actress. I live in fortunate days.

Oddly enough, if Edward VIII had not abdicated, whether he married Wallis or not, he would have reigned until he died in 1972, and Elizabeth would have still inherited the throne as a middle-aged woman, and she and her immediate family would have had a more 'normal' life for another thirty years.

Her facial expressions during the phone call and afterwards were all you needed to know that Her Majesty was big mad at Dickie.

The music, after the phone call, really adds to the scene.

I knew someone, old guy, ex Forces, who got to go to a couple of those really big State dinners. He said that one of the Queen's favourite topics to talk to embassadors and other dignatories was the trucks that she and Margaret had worked on during WWII. In part it was because it was a totally neutral subject, and partly because she really did have favourite brands of spark plugs and other parts. Apparently her staff had to try to stop her more than once from fixing (or trying to fix) land rovers up on the Balmoral estate.

Such good acting! You can really tell when “Elizabeth” left and “the Queen” came out. Ready to do business

Some powerful acting from Jason Watkins as Prime Minister Harold Wilson.

The look on Porchy's face said it all. The Queen basically acknowledged the "what might have been" between the two of them.

Time and time again, they try to paint Queen E II as being the accidental monarch. She was ALWAYS going to be the Queen. Edward had no heirs, and Wallace was incapable of giving him any. Even IF he held the crown until he died, she was going to be Queen. There was never a chance that she wouldn't be.

Accidental monarch or not, Queen Elizabeth was a true monarch and leader. Even if accidental, we see that it is those who do not hunger for power that become true leaders.

She was seething after that phone call. Right on the heels of having a moment of really enjoying part of a day. Imagine doing a job you didn't want or feel fully suited to do for 70+ years. She probably had countless moments like this when she thought, "Good golly! More of this crap?!"

The unlived life - a sentiment to which all of us can relate.

The best leaders are those that don't crave power and push themselves to the forefront. That's possibly the reason Elizabeth was such a good Queen. She never really wanted the job...

The choice of music for the scene, a tune composed for Philip's character but adapted in this instance, is felicitous. Aptly conveys the mood.

You’d think Dickie would remember how easily monarchies can topple. He was born a prince. His father, also Louis, was in the British Navy. He renounced the family’s German royal titles during WWI at the behest of King George V. He changed the surname Battenberg to Mountbatten. He was created the 1st Marquess of Milford Haven for his service to the British Empire. Did Dickie, 1st Earl Mountbatten of Burma, think the British royals were somehow immune?

Great writing... at the moment that the most personal yearning emerges for a normal life, a private life, the most serious kind of regal responsibility collides with her wishfulness, and she mercilessly steps into her other identity and the sacrifice it demands.

"Cahoots" is word you wished was used more often.
