“A confederacy of elected quitters.” What a great line!

[cocamila]

Am I the only one who think she got the queens voice down? Like I thought it was almost same voice from the queens interviews

[ahmedzahir]

David Cameron runs away and hides, theresa May resigns after crying before the entire world. The queen is in her 90's now and still has to deal with a confederacy of elected quitters.

"Too old, too sick or too weak." Guess which one you are, Harold.

The Prime Minister here is Harold McMillan who was severely wounded in the First World War and lay for 12 hours in a shell hole pretending to be dead when German soldiers were nearby. He passed the time reading Aeschylus in the original Greek. He was hospitalised for 2 years and always suffered from his injuries. Of the 30 students that were on his course at Oxford only McMillan and one other survived the war. So while he is portrayed as a quitter and with a soft nature he had been through hell.

0:23 when you hear Queen Elizabeth saying "I've been Queen barely 10 years", you know "The Crown" has got eternity to cover.

"A confederacy of elected quitters." BOOM

[bradydomann]

Dude is literally in a hospital bed with an IV and she does him like that 😂😂😂

1953 - 1964, 10 years, 4 Prime Ministers
1964 - 1990, 26 years, 4 Prime Ministers
Confederacy of elected quitters followed by confederacy of elected clingers on by their fingernails.

From the lilt in her voice “is that an order, Mr. McMillan?” you know shit is about to get real

[Hummingbird-yukt]

Clair Foy was brilliant as Queen Elizabeth! I'm so sad that her tenure is over. But I adore that line! "A confederacy of elected quitters" classic!

[loulie]

I love how she says “Is that an order?” So cool and collected with a raging contempt stirring beneath

[rachelleiter]

I loved how this scene showed her character development.
In the beginning of Season 1 with Churchill she was so unsure of herself and felt like she couldn't stand up to him. And then fastforward to this.

[chrissyknowsitall]

The look on her face!! Best scene EVER!!!🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

[margarettaylor]

That almost-snarl she gave him at the end was FANTASTIC!

[ladylowman]

It’s sad because she never wanted to be queen and it was thrown onto her at such a young age. And here are these older men who truly see her not as their equal but as someone to “teach” and they quit on her when she herself knows she cannot just quit.

[michaelc]

Who else had to watch the video multiple times to embrace Claire Foyes illustrious talent

[lizzyphinsfan]

I don’t think I will ever get to work in the line “a confederacy of elected quitters” into my everyday conversation. That makes me sad.

[MTtheBiased]

So Qyburn wasn't killed by the Mountain, he was burned by the Queen.

Hey man you asked for it. You got Anthony to resign then she ask you to stay due to her delicate pregnancy than you quit putting her more in stress
