-"Allow divorced people more freely about the court."
-"Why? I am the head of the Church of England."
I thought the Church of England was founded so that a King could get a divorce.

I love how Foy shows so subtly that the Queen realizes what he says about divorced people--"unkind, discriminatory, quite possibly unlawful"--really convinces her.

If we had Claire's expression and inner thoughts written out they will fill page after page. What restraint .. what composure ... You can see that she is struggling to accept but at the same time she is comprehending too. Masterclass performance ❤❤❤

Last bit was probably the best advice. Many CEO's and managers could use that advice.

[PetWessman]

The way she quietly BRISTLES at the critique when she’s been taught all her life that the institution she represents may not be critiqued but simultaneously sees the point in what he’s saying

[taymur]

"Ah you got a list" gets me every time 😂😂

Claire Foy is a fantastic actress. She projected exactly what we would have guessed Queen Elizabeth might have said or thought then. Queen Elizabeth II might have had doubts about her upbringing, but she was our Queen for 70 years. She was a force to beacon from, and she was very aware of her shortcomings; I'm 70 years old, and I never knew any other King or Queen. She was so much more than we are aware of, not a simple figurehead, but a constant reminder of how she was view outside her palaces and her magnificent presence when she was in a room that you were also.

I think she did start a Christmas tradition of talking to the people.

[Ariana-wvpf]

Claire Foy is brilliant. You can see how offended and humiliated she feels by the situation of HER taking advice from a nobody on how to be a better more relatable queen. 😂😂😂

You can see her blush with indignation and her micro expressions show her utter disdain and contempt for the person in front of her.

But at the same time she sits and listens. That's what made her a great Queen. She put her personal feelings aside and did what needed to be done. And they say women are too emotional to rule. Nope!

[calumcookson]

Televised Queen's speech? Well that'll never catch on

[amerhamid]

This cuts off his bow before he leaves, which is crucial to the scene, in my opinion.

[ameliecarre]

For an introvert, some of these ideas must have been terrifying. Meet and deal with even more people !
But the debutante thing, I can't imagine it was so yard to let it go.

Claire is a great actress. In this one scene she expresses perfectly queen Elizabeth's arrogance, entitlement and complete ignorance and lack of understanding of the society and the people she rules over. Well, she would learn as the years passed but it came at a very high price. I think the annus horribilis and the events following Diana's death where the bells of doom for the queen and the royal family. That is the moment I believe when they finally learned they were all disposable.
In the last series of the crown this realization is beautifully expressed by Jonathan Price in his role as prince Philip, when he says something like everyone is still dancing but the party is over.

[davidcattin]

He's suggesting every thing that Diana did just by instinct.

[PerfectlyImperfect]

Is this why the world loves Princess Di? Because she wasn’t stuffy and stuck up like the rest of em? ❤

[Ymirson]

I appreciate you posting this, but I wish you had posted the whole scene. When he turns around and finds it actually the queen herself standing there... the look on his face is so gratifying.

[hilarywhite]

I like that she's cranking up the royal accent a bunch talking to this Johnny Jumpstart.

[thefunhouse-jayburchfinear]

It is difficult to live up to traditions, and to protect them. It takes great willpower and Shakespeare's understanding of human nature to even value traditions over more modern habits. But the world is a mess without high standards.

[Angel-nufm]

#2 came back to bite her in the ass, didn't it? 3 of her kids and sister getting divorced. She was disconnected. Expected the people to pay for the restoration of Windsor Castle after the fire. After the austerities they suffered under Thatcher. Was shocked when they wouldn't.

[jimjames]

This show educated me a lot about the royal family that I wouldn't otherwise know. I must have googled over 5000 times whilst watching it.
