I can and do forgive. I work on forgetting by either eliminating the offending party from my life, (who needs toxicity and drama?), or through discussion and prayer.

[@ZekeRaiden]

@@jdrancho1864 Originally (ca. 13th c.), "fulsome" just meant all-encompassing, comprehensive, entire. A few centuries later, it had gained the connotation of being excessive, and that connotation gradually superseded the original meaning. But the original meaning never died, and as the word faded from common use, both senses--"comprehensive" _and_ "sycophantic"--have survived into the modern day. It really isn't accurate to say that either one is more correct. Both have weight and value now, and context clues us in on whether the meaning is positive or negative. Purely from your response, you understood the context clues. Perhaps, instead of passing etymological judgment, it would be more productive to listen; perhaps, instead of dismissal of another, it would be more productive to question oneself and one's certainty. Or not. We're talking heads on the internet, after all. Still, kindness and a smile seem rather more important of late. It feels like we have far to little of either.

The fact that the servants respond to her at the drop of a hat. Then she proceeds to tell Jackie Kennedy, 'I'm sure what you said wasn't as bad as everyone's making it out to be, but even if it was, it doesn't matter much because we barely know each other and we're not friends.' BURN!

You're forgetting one thing. Jackie herself was raised well and her parents had servants and big houses. They also took tea regularly in the English way and tradition. That was the way of the upper classes in the U.S. back in the day. So I don't think that part of it phased her one bit.

Her step-father told both Jackie and Lee as well as their step-brother, Gore Vidal, that they were not being left money.

[@TheGreatWerebear-ge7uh]

I find this scene super interesting. This episode portrays Jackie as deliberately charming everyone around her in the way she thinks will be most effective. With the queen, she sees someone who's insecure in glamorous Jackie's shadow. So she talks about how shy she feels, how insecure, how out of place. The queen thinks they've bonded, but in fact Jackie's actually judging her the entire time--and those judgments come out later. Maybe she was under the influence when they did come out, but she had to have thought them up on some level or other in order to have given them voice. In this scene, when she goes to apologize, she does it as vulnerable, out-of-place, looking up to the queen as everything she 'wishes she were.' Elizabeth totally fell for it, acting guilty later on that she didn't respond by baring her own insecurities and her own admiration for Jackie. In reality, if Elizabeth had groveled the way she later said she should have, Jackie's track record goes to show that she'd take that as an ego boost and continue looking down on the queen. Jackie's vulnerability in this episode is a means to an end of manipulating/charming the queen, and it works. Edit to add: I just finished rewatching this episode, and it's apparent that the queen recognizes Jackie's manipulations when she sees that Jackie hasn't changed out of her bloody clothes. She realizes how good Jackie is at playing the game. And she decides to play it, too, by honoring JFK above and beyond what custom demands. You can see that she's fuming the entire time that she's making those choices.

I agree, and their characters are bizarre as well. Its like a bad sleazy reenactment, which is clearly in the writing so I wont be too judgemental of the acting. The actress isn't bad. She just doesn't look at all like Jackie Kennedy, and her spilling all this info to the Queen over tea is equally out of character. This scene makes it seem like Jackie was a messy junkie desperate for the Queens approval. Huh? wtf even is this scene

If Jackie had indeed been drunk when she said those things, I'm sure that factoid would have gotten back to Elizabeth as well. Doesn't excuse the behavior or the comments, but does explain them in a more understandable way.

The scene suggests she wasn't just drunk, and obviously the queen of the United Kingdom is pretty familiar with drunk people, but that she was actually probably high.

[@michellekinder3051]

News was different then. Jackie was their princess and they would tell anything to make her look good. She was horrible to the queen, sly put downs, when they first met. So why would the queen sink to her level?

World leaders and foreign royals have been calling Buckingham Palace a disgusting pig sty for hundreds of years. Even today there are tourists claiming it smells like piss and I've worked with contractors that say most of the property is in horrid shape, smells like ass and looks like it hasn't been well kept in ages. Why is it so offensive for Jackie to say it when the Queen wasn't even in the room?

One can tell how Jacqueline's explanation succeeded in placating the Queen. The latter was very snippy at first, to the point of rapidly decorating and eating her biscuit and drinking her tea. But she then slowed down and looked upon the First Lady with a sense of understanding and even pity.

[@irisjanemay1903]

After Jack Kennedy died, Philip went to the funeral without the Queen. He played with John John and helped Jackie out a little bit. A year and a half later, the Queen donated an acre at Runningmead for a Kennedy memorial. There is a picture of the event. The Queen is on the right by herself looking angry. The two Kennedy brothers are in the middle looking left, looking angry, then there is Jackie holding John John's hand and on the other side is Philip holding John John's other hand. Jackie and Philip are laughing and smiling at each other. The three of them look just adorable together. ❤

It was a solemn occasion therefore they aren't going to have giddy expressions. Also there is a protocol on how they stand at the ceremony. People see so much in a photo without knowing the hearts and minds of the people shown in them.

[@Richard-yd1ws]

Cool story bro

[@michaelhayden725]

I have seen, on a number of occasions the “official “ film of the Runningmead Dedication and at no time does the Queen appear angry or otherwise upset. She was personally very sad at Jack’s assassination and as I understand it was the driving force behind the dedication. Afterwards the Queen and Prince Philip entertained the Kennedy Family, Jackie, Bobby, Ted and I think Eunice or one the other sisters. The Kennedy’s were apparently deeply touched by the Queen’s hospitality and always remembered her with affection.

[@Scotland1766]

[@melissasaint3283]

JFK had problems with infidelity but the idea that he was verbally or physically abusive to Jackie appears to have no Asia in anything. Indeed, he was an astute politician and proud of his wife's culture, charm and accomplishments...all the evidence I've been seen is that he was pleased she was such a hit in Paris -- it was specifically hoped for, as she grew up bilingual, and at tended the Sorbonne and spent time living in Paris before she married....he named her childhood dog after Charles de Gaulle! Its strange that the writers would make this up ou of whole cloth. It almost seems calculated to eacho Charles' intense jealousy of Diana's popularity when they began to travel, and his all too real emotional and verbal abuse...as to downplay it by comparison. But since these are real human beings, it seems unfair to falsely depict them in such a brutal light merely to form them into a foil fo the King of England. (The timeline is way off as well....they visited. Ot weeks or months but literally years before Kennedy's assassination)
