I think the whole point of the Duke of Windsor's character in show is that, while he truly loves his wife, deep down he still thinks of himself as a member of the Royal Family and wants to protect the Crown. That's why he advises Elizabeth to move to Buckingham Palace and keep the surname Windor in episode 3, and that's why he tells her that, as Queen, she cannot support Margaret. I don't think it's a coincidence that when he approaches the phone he's wearing a mask, and he takes it off when he talks to his niece. He takes off his mask of contempt for the Royal Family and gives Elizabeth honest advice.

The Duke of Windsor would always have thought himself as a member of the Royal family. As a Royal Duke and a Prince of the United Kingdom, he wouldn't think of himself otherwise. There were other issues that kept the Duke of Windsor in permanent exile in Paris, but none of those issues undermined his own Royal and Princely status within the Royal family. Here is the Duke of Windsor's Royal Coat of Arms after his abdication, which includes not only his Princely Coronet, but the belt for the Knight of the Garter, his own stall of which was still extant in St George's Chapel Windsor castle until his death in 1972: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_VIII#/media/File:Coat_of_Arms_of_Edward,_Duke_of_Windsor.svg

6elffauno9--Not really. ER II's childhood was only geared to raising her as a princess to wed some worthy royal from elsewhere, until 1935 when the Wallis/"David" mess began to be taken seriously. After the abdication, she was raised to be Queen. All her education (tutoring by some of the highest-placed and well-educated men in the country) was geared to that, in spite of Crawfie's book leading you to believe she was the sole governess (babysitter with some teaching skills) to ER II. ER II KNEW what she had to do about Margaret. Her mother was no real help (Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, the Queen Mother was KNOWN to take to her bed in crises until they were over). She consulted with the Archbishop of Canterbury, the then Prime Minister, Anthony Eden, her own Palace advisors, and various others. She sought out "David" as the only other living person (Queen Mary was dead by now) who would understand the dichotomy she was facing: am I sister, Queen, or can I reconcile both. The answer is no, you CAN'T. She knew it, but only Edward could tell her that to reinforce what she already knew. This actress does well with the facial expressions of ER II as she grapples with her inner conflict and then firms her resolve.

Nah she probably felt understood in a way, everyone she interacted with wanted her to behave certain way or to feel certain way. Even Philip was more likely to berated her for not doing what he/they wanted, always forgetting the hard position she was in. In the show ofc, there were many scenes Elizabeth wanted someone to listen and support her or even pretend to understand her but Philip never did while Edward did. He acknowledged how hard it is, understood it in a deeper level than most and was completely honest on how much it sucks. In a way Elizabeth knew what she had to do, she always did, she only needed that final push to go through with it

This whole series was beautifully staged and filmed. It shows the value while telling a story of sometimes not saying anything and projecting an expression or a change of light, a shadow. It also helps to have actors of the highest calibre .

No matter how much he puts her through the ringer his final words of the Conversation were the point on the needle: I have no Kingdom, you have it and you must protect it!

He was hardly unbiased. And in really life she hardly ever contacted him. Reportedly, she, like her mother, blames him for dumping the whole kingship in a country going to war on her father, leading to his early death. I’ve also read thats the reason she’ll never abdicate even if she lives to be 100, because she was taught it was a lifetime duty and you couldn’t Just abandon it . Compare that to the royal family of the Netherlands, who routinely step down after 20 years or so to let the next generation have a chance. Sometimes I think Elizabeth is trying to outlive Charles because she’s not sure the monarchy will survive him. And that’s nothing against him.

Mel back then they had not made the connection between cigarette smoke and lung cancer. The tobacco companies knew but they kept the information quiet and every time the medical community brought it up they’d to a propaganda thing to hide the information. Plus if George VI had not been so stressed about being king during the war he might not have smoked so much. It was the church’s rule about divorce, not just the total family. Besides, Wallis was a godsend to British government. They didn’t trust Edward as king, his own father didn’t think he’d be a good king and he was way too fond of Nazi Germany. Maybe it was because he just wanted peace at all costs, maybe it was because he so defeated the Soviet Russians for what they did to his godparents the Tsar and family, and thought they were a bigger threat than Germany, or maybe because he was a selfish entitled brat. Maybe some combo of all of them. But the world would probably have been much worse off if he hadn’t abdicated

[In this show] In spite of his own flaws and inadequacies to be a rightful monarch for its people, he did advise her with dutiful council. He could have easily strayed her judgement on multiple occasions with ill council, which he favoured for himself. I think, in his mind, he redeemed his duties as a former king by guiding Elizabeth to use her brain and fulfill the duties of the crown rather than follow her heart like he did. Overall they did an excellent job of portraying such a complex, one-leg-in-each-boat, character. This show truly brings out the complexities of human behaviour and desire within every character. I imagine that is hard to do when the characters are/were real life humans with very public lives. It is easy to create action and drama in fictionalized stories/characters. But, to showcase potential real emotions and inner battles that each real character may have experienced in real time history makes this show that much more intense. Because we can't think "oh that was fiction, it can never happen in real life." IMO, nothing is more petrifying than reality.

Ah, the key to the Royal Dilemma, and the theme of "The Crown."

Now he talks like the former king..

Deep down he feels guilty for leaving his niece at such a young age to become the queen of the entire British empire

This exchange's impact can really be seen in the queen as depicted by Olivia Coleman in seasons 3 and 4. The conflict between her self, and her duty as 'the crown' has ended, with the latter winning decisively. This simultaneously means that respect for the crown is maintained, republicanism is forestalled, but her family is really in ruins as a result. Love triangles, affairs, heartbreak, stress-related disease. There is no stability in the family except for her duty to the crown. She is the rock that everyone must cling to, their oxygen, that they must breathe...

One of the few production details the set artists and clothiers in the entire series did not get right: when wearing white tie, the black tailcoat's front should always extend below the white piqué vest, not leaving any white visible underneath it. Now, some foreigners visiting the Court of St James's or some guests at a party thrown by the Duke might not have been aware of this, but the Duke himself, that perennial style icon and stickler for fashion etiquette, most certainly was.

He might've been her awkward uncle, but she should've at least said goodbye. Or is it protocol for the Monarch to just toss the receiver?

bob nob No need for sarcasm. It’s just this series is supposed to be historically accurate. Maybe there was an actual background for this scene.

They wanted the last words to linger, like the last note in a song. Saying goodbye would have interrupted that final note.

Shit that (probably) didn't happen but kind of wished it did.

Sometimes I wonder if this exact call took place

since edward was king for a time i dont doubt she took some advise from the only family member that knew what it was like

In reality, The Queen would never seek her uncle’s counsel.

What is the song playing in the background at David/Edward’s party?

I’m surprised that Queen Elizabeth II called her uncle, the Duke of Windsor, for advice.

It's very unlikely that she did. She had a deep contempt for her Uncle David's failure to do his duty. The Queen Mother despised the Duke of Windsor and held him responsible for the decline of her husband's health and his early death. The whole family was brought up to see Edward VIII as a selfish, vain, grasping failure. The Queen had no shortage of advisors and no need to talk to the Duke of Windsor, who was out of touch with events in Britain anyway.

She didn't. This is just a miniseries with made up dialogue, not a documentary.

After listening to Edward VIII/Duke of Windsor's advice to ER II, I couldn't help but think: If he had had that much feeling for the realm and urged protection of the Crown for himself, he would have done his duty, eschewed the social-climbing, much-married, harpy he wed and fulfilled his duty as heir. I suggest that ANYONE who has sympathy for "David" as he was known to the family read King of Fools by John Parker and then read the insipid, infantile, and silly letters exchanged between two supposedly adults of middle age. It appears that history is repeating itself with Harry, the Ginger Poodle, and Meganut.

You do realize it's all made up, right?

I just love how he compares himself to Ganesha, one of the most worshipped Hindu Gods. He certainly wasn't humble.

Love is the only crown that matters.

Is he at an Eyes Wide Shut Party?

The lust of Harry, megan or Wallis &Edward fades .. it was never love. But it's like being trapped in any marriage or baby sham... Btw the queen would have been the QUEEN no matter WHAT cause Edward never had kids and didn't want them.

Edward was probably the best dressed Royal before Charles, yet his vest still peaks out underneath his evening tailcoat which should never happen.

@@lilian7480 Oh wow! Thank you so much.

One of my favorite scenes in the series, but also I can’t help but feel in season 1 they were writing a more compelling character than the Duke of Windsor really was-for all the regret he shows here, in real life it seems he was mostly just an idiot who willingly became a Nazi stooge. Still, I think season 2’s magnificent episode on the subject did a good job of bridging the gap. Ditto for Alex Jennings

what episode?
