I wish you had continued the scene where Margaret sees Elizabeth and Philip coming closer.

That slow realization is benchmark acting done without even a single utterance. Absolute brilliance with only the subtlest change in facial expression. Powerful indeed.

@SuperChuckRaney There is a duality here. When we see all the lives that are empty because the siblings are just becoming a "spare" shows just how unhappy and most of all how unfulfilled they all were. "Spare" is NOT a career! The other side of the coin is that these spares are tremendously important in case something unfortunate should happen to the heir to the throne. The spare should be informed and updated so that he or she has some knowledge or expertise.

That leads to ambition, then plotting and scheming to overthrow the other, or ruining everything for revenge. It has happened too many times in the history of that crown, to the point that it is best to keep things as they are. Ultimately, it is up to the spares to make a go of things. Eventually things will change. Anne and Edward are both examples of that, where they were not as included then, but now are. They are the exception and the story both, because they channelled their ambitions outside the Monarchy itself, but were still prepared to step in when needed to. Andrew is one that never channelled that ambition elsewhere, to the risk of everything, like many also in the story.@@JoanMorrison-vq2jc

Not really. For all the charges the royals have made that this show is anti-monarchy, they do heavily sanitize the family for the sake of the emotional argument against monarchy that the show makes. You can't hate the institution for destroying the family if you depict this particular family honestly. George the V was euthanized when he was dying so the coronation of the new king would hit at the right moment of the news cycle George VI was as much of a Nazi sympathizer as his older brother but both this show and The King's Speech make him look like a saint and victim rather than the evil bastard he was in reality. The show even goes as far as portraying him as a stickler for the constitutional bounds on his office while the real George VI infamously flouted them while championing the cause of appeasement. Hell, the show doesn't even really cover that the family isn't even British. They're Germans, hence their endless affection for the fatherland. Their real last name is German. Everything British about them is a fiction spun up by their handlers.

⁠​⁠@@Cuchulainn1984everything you said has some serious truths behind them but you’ve gone to an extreme on every point. George V was euthanized but it was wasn’t for the sake of a coronation, it was mainly so the newspaper didn’t report it at night. Some dumb Victorian rule. Majority of Europeans that weren’t connect to Germany were Nazi supporters. Russia literally signed a deal with them, clearly Italy, and the British isles had a policy of appeasement. But in general George VI (Bertie) was a saint compared to his brother that was banging married women. There’s no point in highlighting that the royal family had a huge German ties given the household of Windsor comes from Saxe-Coburg and Gotha since 1840 and prior to that they had been havoverian since 1714. That’s a 230 year run prior to the start of the show.

@@LittleBitofHopeToo2518 Apart from the fact that this system only emphasizes or brings to another level what is absolutely natural in human families. The older sibling is always expected and very often actually IS more responsible, because they are expected to protect and provide care to the younger ones, who of course exploit it. The only difference in the primogenitude type of succession is that it extends the same relationship to reigning. And there is also another typical human characteristic: we always want what we can't have and usually for the wrong reasons. So Harry wanted to be a king as he wanted to enjoy status and influence, to be somebody, whereas William saw what a burden it is and wanted more freedom to get away with more things like Harry and to have freedom of carreer (I remember that as an early teen he simply said "lets abolish the monarchy"). From all the succession systems, primogenitude makes most sense today, when the presumed heir has to spend a lot of time in preparation for the role.

I would say that Nicholas II was very dull. He was also very inept as a ruling monarch. He would have made a great constitutional monarch. But he lacked what it took to rule. Wilhelm II was another one who was unfit to rule. He fired the one person who could have kept Germany from leaping into war. He hated the British as much as he envied Britain's empire. Not a good way to think when your government is also planning on making war on Russia (soon! Before Russia fully industrialized) "Lebensraum" -- seizing eastern Poland and Ukraine for the Fatherland! (Like you need a 2-front war!) Franz Josef in Austria was an old man who was living in the past (he was 88 when he died in 1916.) He was as dull as dishwater! Neither his assassinated heir, Franz Ferdinand or his replacement Charles I of Austria had any solutions. Most likely, even without the war Austria-Hungary would have fallen apart by the 1930's

When Her Majesty dealt with the Canadian House of Commons suddenly losing a party, leaving a bunch of unaffiliated MPs in Quebec, she was brutally accurate... she prorogued Parliament (see below), giving those MPs about a month to decide which side of the aisle on which they wished to sit and the price for the support of those to sit on the Government's side. The opposition was outraged even though there were no subjects on which a vote of confidence could be taken... that's why the Parliament was more or less hung. HM decided that a directionless Parliament can do nothing but cause trouble, so she arranged for it have a direction. Remember, in the English version of parliamentary democracy, the voters of a riding are not voting for a party but for a particular candidate as their MP. A party collapsing doesn't change who their MP is, but it does change what he or she wants to do to represent her constitutents.

Looking back, you can see a pattern involving royal children who were next in line after the heir apparent. Margaret, Andrew, and now Harry, all struggled with being the "spare," and being overlooked in favor of the siblings who just happened to be born first. While some, like Elizabeth's father (George VI), seemed to adapt, I believe that the system in place makes Margaret et al much more common place.

The mind fails at the real Philip and Elizabeth having such a metaphysical conversation but PP may have gotten drunk with Tommy Lascelles once. It’s a cracking piece of screenwriting though. And it’s correct viz the dull Windsors and the dangerous ones. Harry is definitely the dangerous strain in his generation. QEII was a class apart though-for 70 years proving that Providence directed the Crown to the best head to wear it. Dull hands are steady hands and a heavy Crown demands both stability and balance. That said, I think it is very short sighted and damaging to not have a more clearly defined “job” for the other children who are not the heir to do. Not in terms of power but of purpose. We all need a purpose to thrive and it seems that so many spares in royal families struggle to find their purpose once they are no longer needed as an alternative to the heir. All spares should look to the Princess Royal Anne for an example. She needs to write a no-nonsense manual on thriving as a Spare. A rebuttal to Harry’s book WAAGH!

George the 6th never wanted to be King since of his stage fright and speech impendament. In the crown QueeN mom was not wrong that being King killed him espically World War 2 he smoke more and more. Queen mom was from a extrem wealth family and had a life style and did not hide not even as when she was queen. The whole dazzling and dull arugment is just a reason i would have slap philip, espically here is the thing Mary knew that the rule family had to go with the time or else it would end badly for them, and after that they stop, they never make more adjustment or anything to modernize the rules to make them even more approchable.

For every William, we get a Harry, sadly. I do feel for him but why oh why denigrate his loved ones. We only get one family. Harry only has his father, and brother, his mother tragically gone way too soon.

He has a wife and two children. They are his family, too.

Harry has his wife & children, whom his family threw to the media wolves to cover for their own crimes of adultery, dark money, and pedophilia. Learn your history, dear. Or do you prefer licking the boots of villains?

Why were all the black sheep men named Edward? 😂

One of those weird coincidences, there's even examples of it hundreds of years before all this. King Edward III's original heir, who died a year before him in 1376, was known as Edward the Black Prince mainly because of his brutal tendencies toward his enemies, which was allegedly beyond the pale even in the eyes of the other members of the royal family. But then there have been several King Edwards that have done great things for the country and deserve (mostly) praise and celebration, as well as the current Duke of Edinburgh (Elizabeth II's youngest son) who's very much "in the firm" and is also pretty popular in public too, so maybe if there is a God every time he/she sees that a British royal wants to name their son Edward they flip a coin 😂😂😂

The current Edward aka Duke of Edinburgh is not a black sheep.

Margaret would have been the better queen. Elizabeth will go down as the worst queen in the world of the Monarchy.
