So no straight lines in both countries. Queen Victoria also suceeded her childless uncles, so no straight line. Even nowadays there is no male primogeniture in any of the 2 countries anymore, so the sucession rules are even similar in this point. Both are keeping updated with modern values.

If you have never been to a Greek/Eastern Orthodox church service, it is like a trip through time. With chanting, vestments, holy icons and clouds of incense, the order of service really hasn't changed in 1500 years. Nor the doctrine. And the Danish Royal House of Glücksburg, has been around a lot longer than the current ruling family in the UK.

Queen Mary was correct! Despite everything that many believe nowadays, the Monarchy has a sacred and infallible duty coupled with its position. The current structure of it may be recent but its antecendents have brought great examples to uphold. From its very crest to the obligations it fulfills, it brings a constant that is so important that it becomes the source of eternal governance and all its like.

I believe what she says about what Monarchy are suppose to be. They are suppose to be the highest example of what people could be.

I loved Queen Mary in The Crown, simply loved her. Mocking the Greek throne was fair because they appropriated a branch from the royal House of Glücksburg which is a cadet branch of the royal House of Oldenburg, which is the oldest extant dynasty in Europe going back 576 years. Whereas the Windsor dynasty (really the Saxe-Coburg and Gotha) have only been on the throne little more than 100 years. So Philip isn't quite descended just from carpet-baggers and parvenues. Really what she was comparing is the consistency of the monarchy in the United Kingdom vs Greece and -not Denmark.

I don't get why they knock Philip so much like he was some commoner or his family was.

then again, the windsors had not been for so very long a time on the english throne either. and they have nothing to do with william the conqueror. she was comparing a small portion in the history of a country, to the whole english history, who wouldn’t hold a candle as far as antiquity or civilization to Greece. she’s also incredibly delusional about the sacred character of the monarchy. she probably didn’t pay all that much attention to her history after all, or else she would have known that monarchy is just another type of brand management. tale as old time. or maybe she chose to forget that bit.@@danielkrcmar5395

@@monicad99 They have a blood relation to William the Conqueror and the Anglo Saxon royalty before that. You clearly have no understanding of the liniage of the British Monarchy. She was addressing the whole of English history because the Monarchy of today has a consitutional origin of 1066. That is where King Charles III claims his right to rule from. We aren't looking at Ancient Greece which wasn't even considered a country but was used as a geographical term of an area of seperate city states. The modern Greece is very young and with a younger Monarchy. Of course it isn't going to be looked upon with the same prestige as the British Crown which ruled the largest empire in world history. You can't compare the views of today to the views of then. When The Queen came to the Throne a vast number of Brits still believed the Monach was chosen by God. The Monarch is anointed in front of God and makes their Oath to God, not the people. Brand management or not the claim to Monarchy is intrinsically linked to Christianity. Just as all other Monarchies are tied to a religion. Ultimately you just don't know what you're on about.

Great speech, though the Church of Greece is slightly older than the English one and the monarchy of Denmark (which the Greek royals derived from too) is also older than the English.

Isn’t the Church of Greece the Greek Orthodox Church? Since the Orthodox Church traces itself to apostolic times whereas the Church of England broke from the Catholic Church in the 16th century, I daresay the Greek Church is more than a millennia older.

Annulment and the CofE in 1539 was Catholic as proved by the Six Articles. It still affirmed Transubstantiation. It was only definitively confirmed as a Protestant Church under Elizabeth I. It is as ‘holy’ as any other Protestant denomination, unless you want to refight the Thirty Years War, just accept it.

Just brilliant

Season one has the best script.

The Danish kings originated from the son's of Odin. There is an island in Denmark where after traveling from the east Odin built a hall and preceded to settle. His son's started the Danish monastic line. The Romanov also went back what? A thousand years? Phillip was very, very royal. He just didn't want his wife to end up dethroned and brutally gotten rid off. After having it happen to two branches of his family, he had to have been concerned.

It s a good scène but with a small note. Danish monarchie (since 776 AD) is older than the british (900 AD)

Nothing like a granny to put it all into perspective. They’ve seen it all and know it all. Lillibet adored her wisdom, her hierarchy, her position even as a dowager queen grandmother, she was not to be played with or fukked with. She was Queen Mary, the 1 and only

@3:15 queen Mary: that means you are answerable to God in your duty, not the public. Me: then how do you explain Charles the first.

This scene gives even more poignancy to the scene in which Queen Mary curtsies to her granddaughter, even though it was obviously so physically difficult. It is Mary's duty and she will do it, no matter how physically hard, because before her stands the Crown to which she is so devoted. To think that the real Mary had curtsied to Queen Victoria in her youth, and lived to curtsy to Elizabeth II... she was a bridge between the eras and a very important part of the continuity of the monarchy.

To be fair the nurse said ' The Queen is here ....' which is correct.

I staunchly believe that assuming the role of a monarch is a divine calling, aiming to dignify the Earth, echoing the sentiments of the late Queen Mary to her late Majesty, Elizabeth II. A genuine king or queen answers to God, not merely the public, as divine guidance steers them toward actions that benefit the people. While this scenario may be dramatized, I wholeheartedly endorse the ideals of theocracy. Acknowledging historical instances of less-than-ideal sovereigns in England, the present monarch, King Charles III, exceeds my expectations. He is my king, and I recognize no prerogative to question His Majesty. His representation of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland surpasses my initial expectations.

What she means is that the Greek Crown only dated back to 1870, when a son of the King of Denmark was invited to become King.

Our Prince Edward was invited to become King of Estonia when it became independent of Russia. The invitation was said by Buckingham Palace to be an interesting idea and declined.

Y'all need to really stop and question your beliefs, for the good of the species. Incidentally, there are literally thousands of recognized religions on this planet alone. Why do Christians get to determine their God is the only one? What if you're wrong? Chances are, you probably are wrong. Stop being slaves to someone's interpretation of nonsense.
