Tommy being so polite to say the guy is a homosexual without saying it direct at 1:12 is so funny Tommy "the *narrow* path. The *straight Christian* path....not to his taste" Queen - visibly confused Tommy "Well here's these 3 women.... These are just the natural ones"

If Britain didn't exist, someone would have to invent it so Tommy would have a place to live.

La reine a foiré tous les mariages dont elle s'est mêlée.

“His medium photography I believe” 😂😂

Anyone know where I can find the full episode?

It's funny that I hated him in the first few episodes when he's purely a foil to Townsend, having very little personality outside of his commitment to protocol. Very quickly, though, I started to admire his character for the same reason I hated him at first: he's essentially the living embodiment of duty. Now he's one of my favorites.

Can we have a new TV series where Tommy time travels and sorts out all the problems of the world.

Best documentary ever

Oh grow up, Tommy!

Somebody wrote these words that Lascelles spoke. No kudos for the writer in these comments?

Lord Snowden(Anthony Armstrong-Jones) was a talented photographer and maker of films BUT he was also a man whose immorality, ruthless social climbing and hatred of his mother as well as all women damaged the lives of everyone that he touched especially his wife Princess Margaret and his two children. By contrast, Tommy Lascelles strove to protect the monarchy and the nation..in this he succeeded and in time, his warning about Lord Snowden proved to be correct!

Pip dominates every scene...

That was not advice lol

Robin Banks, an actress called Gee-an award! And Jackie Chan. Did he get these names from a prank caller?

'These, we should add, are the 'natural' ones'. Gold!

Under Negotiation.

" an Oriental dancer" ... he might as well have said serial killer...such was the implied distaste...lol

They should do a series strictly about Tommy.

Haaa he's so happy 😂😂😂😂

480p was the best we could do 4 years ago?

So the guys a royal just without the money or title.

It's like he hates everyone else for daring to not be him.

I never knew Jackie Chan was also a dancer and singer! Why didn't he do that in any of his movies?

1:54 Gina Ward so he had time to nip up to Aidensfield to the Aidensfield Arms to see her.

This clip is cut off about 2 minutes early, leaving off one of the most important segments of the whole scene: Everything from Elizabeth's second "What?" to the moment she sobs in front of the window. I mean, okay, thanks for posting it, and it has 90% of Tommy's best stuff included...but, really: Would you provide a JPEG of the Mona Lisa, with the segment between her nose and her chin completely excised?

Wow. The UK is just as corrupt as Nigeria, as per this.

I love it when Tommy says; "They are just 'the natural' ones."

Really hope the Beeb put another documentary like this one on . 🙏

Her skin complexion is so lovely

...photography, I believe... (every time I see that)

"A miss Jackie Chan, an oriental dancer … and singer"

"Reflecting on one's soundness" is fatal to one's career in these circles.

God I miss Tommy

Sir Alan Frederick "Tommy" Lascelles was of a peculiar British social class: close to being an aristocrat but not actually one. His paternal grandfather was the 4th Earl of Harewood and his first cousin, the 6th Earl, married George VI's sister and thus was uncle by marriage to Elizabeth II. Tommy in contrast was a commoner, an upper class one, but still a commoner. I don't know what the real Tommy was like but those types (the ones Princess Diana described as the "men in grey") are often the ones most fanatical about maintaining orthodoxy within the Royal system.

omg i finally rediscovered this

Why he sometimes refers himself as "we"? I recall monarch often call themselves like this

Queens dragoon guards tie

If he would be alive today, he would straighten Harry and Megnuts out so hard, they would never even think about walking sideways again.

*So he was "a friend of Dorothy."*

I'm a huge fan of inspector Morse and there's a David lasalles on the production staff. I should think it unlikely that he's not connected in some way to George Vi chief of staff as it's a rare name

I so wish Lascelles would have been around for Charles and Diana and the 3rd member of the marriage, Camilla. And just imagine what he'd have done the first 2 seconds he laid eyes on magen 🤣🤣🤣 Harry would never have known what hit him and his relationship.

Yes, of course... there were the homosexual dalliances. So typical for British aristocracy. That practice continues in tony Wasp communities all over America. In our city that is a poorly kept secret.

What I wonder is: Was Margaret told any of this? This incident in "The Crown" reminds me of Harry and Meghan. M16 must have done a background check on Meghan. If so were HMTQ? Prince Philip? Prince Charles? Harry? Told of her real past? Told about her dysfunctional family? Even Harry's friends knew some things about her, in particular Tom “Skippy” Inskip.

Lascelles was a terrible man who did immense damage.

I don't think there has ever been a more dignified discussion about sexual activity in human history. 😹 The amount of puns and innuendo is insane! 😹 "The *straight* Christian way" 😹 "Only the natural ones." "As in art, so it would appear in life."

“These, we should add…”, “Are just the natural ones”. - Adean had no back bone. The job required telling unpleasant information & situations to the Queen. Tommy to the Rescue.

its the Tash.....Such a tash...........

Just bought his book, “King’s Counselor”. Looking forward to reading it. I got inspired from watching his performances in the crown. That man appeared to pull no punches.

That JR was such a scoundrel. Why did SueEllen put up with him! She should have left him early on!

Love his acting skill. Love the script.
