Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip: Favourite Child (best dialogue ever written)

[@thomasplinguidy4588]

It's depressing how quickly the loving parents agreed in this episode that their firstborn Charles "cannot be saved." Considering today's outcome: Charles is king, Anne is a monument to duty, Andrew is royal scum and Edward - is still Edward. At least one would like to give credit for the fact that Edward's youthful cynicism at the time was probably his way of dealing with Gordonstown. After all, he was the only one of his generation who managed to stay married to his first wife and bring a few nice children into the world who didn't cause any scandals.

[@n25bast]

And Edward's reward is being unable to pass the title his parents wanted him to have on to his son. No good deed goes unpunished and all of that.

Edward and Sophie have chosen to not live the full royal life. Probably saw what happened to Anne's kids and decided it was a good idea.

[@marywenzel3199]

@@n25bast The Dukedom of Edinburgh has never been an hereditary title; it will revert to the Crown upon Edward’s death and the next monarch will bestow it on someone else. The same will happen to Andrew’s title, which will probably go to Louis at his wedding as the second son of the reigning sovereign. Edward’s son James is actually now entitled to be the Earl of Wessex, which is his father’s subsidiary title.

[@thomasplinguidy4588]

Above all, he was brutal when it came to verbally abusing other people. During his lifetime, the newspapers kept a diligent record of who he had just put down. In doing so, he compensated for his frustration at always being subordinate to his wife. Oh yes, he was such a loyal husband, such a great grandfather and got along so well with dear, poor Diana - but he always treated his eldest son Charles like sh*t. No wonder Charles became such a lousy and tight-lipped husband to Diana.

[@startracker5895]

[@thomasplinguidy4588]

Looking back, Charles was lucky that the Queen believed so adamantly in the order of succession to the throne despite everything. A less principled mother could have tried y to use Charles' love affair with a Catholic married woman as an opportunity to remove him from the line of succession and make her favorite Andrew the heir to the throne. There was certainly no shortage of conservative Anglican bishops and politicians who would have supported this. But as Edward VIII once put it: In the end, the crown ends up back on the right head. Indeed, if Andrew had been crown prince or king when his involvement in this disgusting Epstein scandal came to light, the British monarchy might well have truly been finished.

[@anyili3196]

You can definitely see from this episode that Andrew is the Queen’s favorite, with Anne ranked 2nd, Edward 3rd, and Charles dead last. You can tell just from the four of them’s entrance into the scene in this episode and their interactions with her. Andrew carefree and rather naughty. Anne would question whether she really wants to keep up with their original plan when she thinks the weather is not good and in the end just left the Queen there alone, showing that she is not really afraid. Edward slightly afraid of losing civil list money but still not very restrained. Charles on the other hand, you can tell he is very eager and careful, wishing to please and afraid to miss a single step.

[@NiVi192]

"PHILIP!!! YOU CAN'T JUST LEAVE!" - Watch me. Pure gold! 😂

[@gilyaA1]

definitely one of the funniest scene in show

[@Hal09i]

I also love the scene where Phillip is talking to Anne about the film he wants to do. He tells Anne that she's a good value for the money. She responds, "what, like a pair of long lasting boots?". Phillip then says, "Is there anything one loves more in life than a pair of long lasting boots?". You see Anne smile a ghost of a smile. Here is British understatement to a tee. Because Phillip is talking about Anne and she completely gets it.

The show implies that the Queen's favorite is Andrew.

[@andrew_4747]

So does reality

[@Gizo02]

The show does really push the narrative that Elizabeth was an excellent, diligent and dignified queen, but not a great mother. Apparently when her and Philip went on their 5-6 month tour of the Commonwealth in 1953-1954, when she arrived back she wanted to see her horses first instead of her children (Charles was 5 and Anne was 3).

[@wickedwitchoftheeast88]

Damn thats cold. I can see why sometimes Charles is the way he is he didn't grow up with that emotional support or nuturing from either of his parents and its had a massive impact on him not that it excuses his behaviour and how he treated Diana but I guess in some ways he felt pride and resentment at Diana for her mothering skills and love she showered on their boys something he didn't get.

[@syedkhalid2993]

​@@wickedwitchoftheeast88 Also, Charles was a sucker for reassurance, which made his relationship all that worse with Diana since she stole every single event she was at from him, which led to him being jealous of her and resenting her

[@wickedwitchoftheeast88]

@@syedkhalid2993 I wouldn't say she stolw the attention from him, she was given it the second the public knew they were together and because Diana did everything differently to RF like showing love and care to ordinary people we loved her for it but I don't think she did it on purpose. Charles was jealous because he expected all the love and admiration Diana got. Had the RF been smarter they would have realised what an assest Diana was and utilised it but I suppose even the RF resented the love and attention she got.

[@ReginaGeorgeSlay-my8fg]

You get recorded once in history to allegedly say you preferred to see your horses first over your kids and your reputation is tarnished forever? Pls Even if that were true I can think of several reasons why I would prefer in one particular instance to see my horse, pets, or animals before my own kids or other family members and loved ones. For example, sometimes you’re going true a personal struggle where you don’t want anyone to see you or interact with anyone. The simple comfort of being with your pet or seeing horses running. You don’t always need to prefer to be with all or specific loved ones or to go to them immediately in every instance. We don’t know the context. We don’t know if it’s made up in the first place or edited. But pls let’s vilify a person for saying or making a choice once in their lives that we don’t have any real clue about.
