Who's the black sheep in your family?

[EmiliusReturns]

Tommy is so put together but you can still feel the utter contempt dripping off him.

[RM-wepx]

Her look of shock and horror, she knew he was a bastard but didn’t think of him as a traitor.

[jeffdowney]

It’s amazing how much costuming, set decoration, and extras went into these cutaway shots (like his visit to Germany) that last only a few seconds.

[Oldag]

Claire Foy absolutely NAILED that role !

[cmarq]

Like someone said, someone should build a statue to Wallis Simpson for getting him to abdicate. Imagine him on the throne during WWII….

[manbearpig]

Wonder if the Tommy actor hires himself out for funeral eulogies. My life is pretty boring and straightforward forward, but with his voice he would make it sound sinister and fascinating.

[manbearpig]

That little finger rubbing thing he does is the closest Tommy gets to demonstrating high emotion

[brianaustin]

Whilst Governer of the Bahamas, in the early stages of the war, he actively attempted to dissuade the US from entering the conflict on the side of the UK. If he had not been royal, he would have been tried for treason, but it was considered that this would have lowered morale. Hence it was all hushed up for years. There are many papers held under lock and key at Winsor Castle, perhaps one day they will be released for posterity.

Tommy pulled no punches. He was the man.

[CCEkeke]

What makes Edward's betrayal so heartbreaking for Elizabeth is how she'd defended him and maintained fairly cordial relations with her uncle. Now she finds out his crimes were infinitely worse.

[jimmikulsky]

Usually, I don't like Tommy, but kudos to him here!

[rdive]

Imagine abdicating for a woman sleeping with von Ribbentrop.

[jwsja]

Thank God the government manuvered his abdictation.

[Kevin-mxvi]

It almost brings me to tears that Her Majesty had to hear this. For someone so devoted to her duty to have to face the fact that her uncle was a traitor must have been devastating.

[terenzo]

A line from Doctor Zhivago comes to mind: "In the future, everyone will be judged politically."

[adelaferreira]

While everybody wants to comment on the political side, my comment is, have you ever seen an actress that says more then a thousand words with just one look ? Claire Foy is the most expressive actress I have ever watched, she was magnificent in The Crown ! And yes her uncle was a horrible nazi follower, ready to betrayed his country at any time !

[arthurbaldwin]

So many people don’t realise just how close the issue was balanced if he hadn’t chosen to abdicate. The pm was told by military commanders in no uncertain terms that they could not guarantee the support of the army in the event that he forced a showdown with the king.
If the king had called for support from the army history could have been very different .
My father who was serving in headquarters at the time told me just how panicked the top brass were and divided the army was because all serving members of the armed forces swear an oath of allegiance to the monarch their heirs and successors. Breaking it is treason.

[eytonshalomsandiego]

What a great actress is Ms. Foy the first time I saw her was when she was quite young and she played little Dorrit in the Charles Dickens novel set to film by the same name and she was just marvelous and anything I've seen her in since she's been very very very good

[StarOfHala]

I love Claire's reaction in this scene
