The Crown | Prince Philip Reminds Princess Anne Who She Is

[@jediroya6810]

It was often said by royal-watchers and commentators about Anne and Philip that “she was the son he never had.” Savage.

[@CaptainPikeachu]

Maybe if Phillip had actually tried to connect with Charles more and be a good parent, he would already have a son to be proud of

[@valerierodger]

@@CaptainPikeachu he did _try_ to be a good parent to Charles. But he wasn’t just raising a son, he was raising a future king, and he tried to prepare Charles for his eventual role as king. Just because you aren’t a perfect parent and your relationship with your child is sometimes strained does not mean that you didn’t try to connect or try to be a good parent..

[@Sarah_270]

Anne wasn't likeable imo, but she worked hard and still does. I have respect for her.

[@arfenmalik1717]

​@CaptainPikeachu Charles always had the arrogance of a future king which could have made it difficult to connect with him. See how Diana also struggled with him. His parents did a commendable job. Putting up with him knowing how much was on his shoulders as a future king

[@terriselph4100]

Anne was Phillip's pride and joy.

[@romancandle416]

As others have said, Anne was the son he never had.

[@bananamanchester4156]

- brings up his concerns directly but sensitively, acknowledging her boundaries - notices her behaviour is out of character and acknowledges that too - Clearly states the traits he values in her - Doesn't react defensively when she bats him away - Reminds her that her current mood is temporary and things will improve for her Some good tips here for how to discuss a loved one's mental health if you have concerns about them!

The problem with this scene and many others in The Crown is that only 2 people were involved in the conversation-we have no idea if it actually took place, let alone the exact wording. It's a common technique in films and the viewers often vicariously assign legitimacy to the event.

[@BlastFromThePastTheGoodOldDays]

It is interesting that Elizabeth didn't change the line of succession for her own daughter, but when her great granddaughter was born Elizabeth decides to change things up. couldn't change it for Anne, could change it for Charlotte

[@xxwhispersxx2856]

@@BlastFromThePastTheGoodOldDays I always thought that was because they believed Charlotte was going to be the spare.

[@CaptainPikeachu]

@@BlastFromThePastTheGoodOldDays That's because the times have changed when it came to gender roles and succession ideas, and also because they wanted to secure the fact that no matter a boy or girl, the succession would pass through William's first born and be secured there and stable, Anne for all intents and purposes was a second born child after an heir in Charles had already existed, there was never an incentive at the time to change succession laws since Anne would never rule anyways

The Princess Royal commands so much of love from her daddy, amazing.

[@sharonholdren7588]

Back when television showed real sporting events and not just physical games I saw lengthy films of Princess Anne in competition at the Kiev Horse trials. She is fearless and tireless in the face of astronomical jumps, speed and endurance. She deserved every bit of the support and confidence her father gave her. Had he done the same with her brothers it might have helped them to build their self-confidence and courage. But they were not born with her intestinal fortitude and what they did have was abused out of them early on at their boarding schools such as Gordonstoun. I admire Anne. I feel compassion for Charles.

[@weirdshibainu]

Weird how Gordonstoun still in business. Glad Charles broke that mentality and sent his sons elsewhere.

I am not sure that the others don't have achievements, and for sure I will not call equestrian competition a "down to her own effort alone".

She rose in my estimation after her attempted kidnapping in the 70's when word got around that, when faced with a loony threatening her with a gun, she responded to the order to get out of the car with "Not bloody likely!" :D Her dedication to her role has been influenced by her mother greatly, I think, and I am sure Her Majesty approved.

Spitting image of a young Anne

[@QemeH]

This women finished a team eventing ride after suffering a concussion because of a fall half way through. To this day she maintains that she has no memory of the second half of that ride. Sadly the team had to withdraw anyway because two of the horses were injured. But I kinda doubt that this woman (today the president of the FEI) would have seriously considered not to ride an olympic tournament if given the chance.

[@AnimalisMD]

Ingmar De Vos is the current FEI President- has been since 2014. Anne was FEI President from1986-1994. Her father was President from 1964-1986. You are correct about the Olympics and HRH not remembering much of her ride. Anne represented Britain at the 1976 Olympics in The Sport of Eventing. She indeed had a bad fall during the cross-country phase and was concussed. In those days you were allowed to remount and finish. Nowadays that isn't allowed but back then there wasn't the understanding of the dangers of brain injury that we have today. In fact, many people never wore a helmet for regular riding (I grew up in England and got my horse training there). There are actually photos of her late Majesty and the RF galloping up Ascot racecourse without helmets (HM in a headscarf and the men in cloth caps)😬😮

[@weirdshibainu]

I've had a 8 concussions and unlike the movies , you don't shake it off in a couple of days. It can take weeks or months to fully recover and you're life is diminished as you recover. The effects are cumulative and worsen with each one.

[@faithlesshound5621]

She spoke about the concussion at a conference on head injuries about 15 years later. A fellow rider told her "the lights were on but no one was at home."

[@martham2930]

I love that he references the Battenburg family connection. So much about the English royal family is framed around the Windsor brand, which is fine but it's true that their Battenburg lineage, like or loath it, was a part of who Anne was as a young woman. If this representation is accurate, good on Philip for helping his children connect the dots and leverage the strength from their extended family history. All families, not just royal ones, should inspire their kids in the same way. :)
