My dears, in Season 1 of "The Crown," do you recall any other pivotal scenes? Let us know in the comments!

[@gailhancocks5207]

What a shame she married him, Phil the Greek 😂

[@lisaharrod8386]

@gail... I liked Prince Phillip...he endured so much loss, and carried it with grace and dignity. He backed QE II every step of the way. A misstep here and there, but a decent sort, inho. A Greek, yes, but related to half the royal families in Europe. Just a differing opinion. Cheers!

[@Apulia2001]

George VI's last Christmas with his family.

[@manningbartlett522]

So true It was an amazing performance. And so befitting Winston Churchill. Queen Elizabeth insisted. That he have a funeral exactly like her Father, there was a cortège of his coffin up the Thames recognizing his Naval background, Queen Elizabeth and other Royals went into the church and out at the end of the service before the family. She made sure there were processional carriages w.horses for the family, and personally attended to their needs

His attitude towards Phillip's flying lessons was ironic since decades earlier as a father of young chchildren he had done the same until Clementine put her foot down. Also ironic is that Peter would have been a much more respectable husband than the decadent Tony.

She didn’t need extraordinary “ability” to be a great Queen; she needed great character and discipline. Queen Elizabeth had that.

Grit, determination, faith to sustain her. She embodied continuing education for 70 years. Curious, in so many areas. Gardens, dogs, horses, history, foreign relations, architecture, the English constitution, mechanics, law, theology, etc.....

[@elizabeth5985]

The first season had it all: stellar directing, writing, and cinematography, beautiful score, brilliant acting (and Claire Foy will be the one and only Queen to me); ABSOLUTELY STUNNING. In my opinion, this season is one of the greatest works of art in film. It just doesn't get better.

[@drewnealski969]

Agreed. Her portrayal was quite literally THE Queen Elizabeth II of the series. Olivia Coleman was fine. Seasons 5&6, just dreadful casting for the senior royals.

[@AzguardMike]

I was kinda put off by Claire at first. Could decide if she was a terrible actress for being soo stone faced and emotionless, or amazing for being able to do so. And have NEVER been a fan of Olivia Coleman. But recently binged the show and Claire certainly nailed the Queen's stoic, barely cracking so much as a smirk, cold stance we knew her for. Ended up enjoyed Season 1 alot more than expected. And seeing Matt Smith as Philip emotionally refusing to bow early on was funny, when contrast to how she had no emotion to her reply.

[@winkerturonpoubel]

Yeah! I truly think she set the tone for the older versions of the Queen. Also would like to stress grandness of the costumes: everything of such quality and taste that comes through the screen. Amazing series indeed - worth a rewatch! 🥰

[@theajohnston761]

The scene with Queen Mary had a spectral quality to it. And Winston Churchill was certainly bold in the way he always spoke to h queen.

Margaret had such a miserable marriage, Elton John recalled in his Biography that she once invited him and his band to her estate for dinner, when they arrived and were seated in the dinning room a bitter fight broke out between her and her husband, the two excused themselves but the shouting continued leaving Elton, his bandmates and Bernie all exchanging nervous glances wondering if they should just quietly slip out of the place.

[@gabrielles1851]

I've often thought, like others I'm sure, that if Margaret could do it all again she would have picked Peter and went on with her life. Public opinion was already in her favor and if she had toughed it out for a few years that everyone else would have softened up and she could have have a happy a fruitful life.

[@odysseusrex5908]

Except, of course, he didn't really. When they invaded France, he fled. When they caught up with him in Portugal and put up to him the idea of returning to the throne, he told them that was impossible nd proceeded to British territory and spent the war as Governor General of Bahama. He did say admirable things about the Nazis in the 1930s, but lots of people admired either Hitler or Stalin at the time, seeing only their surface accomplishments and not the underlying evil. This series goes out of its way to blacken his reputation and exaggerate his "sympathies".

[@59Zeta]

He leaked security info to an English agent who leaked it to a Russian spy at the Hague who gave it to Russia. It is alleged that the places where the Russians invaded exactly matched the locations he leaked. He wanted to be a world player and was susceptible to Nazi flattery and promises.

Claire foy was the best

[@EnglishVirgo]

My dad was divorced when he met my mum and proposed swiftly. He had been away in the navy and his wife cheated on him, repeatedly I think and he refused to live a life with a woman of such low morals. So, they divorced. In time he met my mum and they very quickly wanted to get married and six weeks later, they did (fifty years later they are still stronger than ever and an example of true love), but it was back in the early '70s, things were different and when they approached churches, they refused to marry a divorced person. They got married at the registry office instead and it was fine, but the divorce thing stopped the church wedding. It just got me thinking of it when Margaret's scene was playing.

[@aliasif8498]

Can I ask wats d reason for that??wouldn't church promote marriages of divorced men or women

[@EnglishVirgo]

@@aliasif8498 I'm not actually sure. My parents said that the vicar looked down on them for it and refused them. But we are talking about a tiny little village in a tiny little town in England in the early 1970's, they werent exactly open minded.

[@Mybpeterson]

I got married in 1989. I lived in a suburb of New York City that was well populated and socially progressive. There was still a problem. I was Catholic and my church refused to marry us because my husband was divorced. I went to another parish thinking my priest was a stick in the mud, but they refused as well. I called a third parish and they wouldn't marry us either. Getting married in church was important to me, so I started calling parishes of other denominations. Finally, I found a Presbyterian church that would marry us, but I had to convert. So I did.

[@julianneheindorf5757]

Prince Philip was not a normal commoner. He was an aristocrat with strong family ties to both the Greek and the Danish Royal houses and he was a prince of both. He already had the title of Prince when he married QEII. He was given the title of Duke of Edinburgh when he married. Like QEII he was also a descendant of Queen Victoria. The couple were third cousins. However, it does seem that courtiers and others did not value Prince Philip as a true prince because in essence he was a foreign prince, not a British one.

[@kaviyaprabharan1832]

@@julianneheindorf5757 prince phillip family ran away from their country . He had titles alone not a country to rule . He had the royal title duke of Edinburg and prince title because he married queen elizabeth ii . If Queen decides to divorce him , he lose all his titles . he gave up his job and titles and renounced titles so if he got divorced from queen and queen submits evidence of all his mistakes and divorce was granted he become a normal commoner . If he loved lilibet alone why he must worry how his in-laws and courtiers treat him and can maturely handle the problems without making a big fight with queen . he was a narrow ,typical , immature minded believe in false masculinity has a sharp tongue ,hard and tough wild one (his worst childhood and gordouston school experience made him like that )who reacted to courtiers and others worst treatments and tried to solve it immaturely failed to support his wife who fought her own family to get married to him . His family ran away fearing death and his sister's had married nazi higher officials. Queen mother , king george vi and british courtiers has enough reason to doubt him because it is heir to the throne elizabeth ii marriage . " Why on earth he wanted to marry a future queen(their match making which was planned by his uncle )and expect to live as per his wish without losing his home, job, name and felt like insulted second fiddling his wife knowing the heir alone was first preference not the spouse . He got duke of Edinburg title and thinks he can live life as per his wish and enjoy royal life . Unexpectedly elizabeth 2 become queen in 1952 he has to second fiddle her this thing make him feel insulted because of his false masculinity ,narrow and immature mind ,sharp tongue . The qualities that gave him a bad opinion in front of his in-laws and british courtiers eyes . he even gave a speech in 25th wedding anniversary it was Queen's tolerance that made this marriage successful . So it is Queen lilibet love, forgiveness and tolerance towards phillips that made their marriage successful in first 25 years .after some years phillips learnt from his mistakes and gave support to his wife I guess .

Sadly, Prince Harry still doesn't realise that when one is born into such a privileged life, there are certain expectations of one's behaviour. Prince Harry has badly misjudged the reactions of the Royal Family, his regiment, and the majority of the people of Great Britain. It's not possible to walk away from duty to this country and behave like a 'playboy' without there being consequences. Surely, history (Edward VIII) should have taught him that.

my fave scene is where Prince Philip has an outburst about how he wont kneel to the queen "like some common cuck." Im not sure if its the actress being either amazing, or terrible, but she is never emotional. Just looks at him dead faced like the thumbnail and through the clips and just tells him "you will do just that, Philip. It is your duty." Then gets up and leaves. No emotion. Either amazing acting to stay emotionless throughout the entire season, or a terrible actress just reading the lines. Either way, perfectly cast

You do understand that this events are dramatized correct? They’re not factual. And it amazes me how many people don’t understand THAT for one and two, don’t understand context. Every is in the 1940s when Elizabeth became Queen, relationships and the role’s played between husbands and wife’s WOULD’VE been different, MEN were different, WOMEN were different and SOCIETY was different. They were married and committed to each other for over 70 years. I don’t think you have any leg to stand on to judge their relationship and marriage. Whatever they did, whatever they had, worked for them. They chose to remain committed- which people today can’t possible relate to or understand considering how high the divorce rate is. They can hardly make long term relationships work, let alone a marriage. You just don’t give up the second you don’t get want you want, the second you’re unhappy, the second you’re bored- no, you understand that life comes in waves and so do relationships. You understand you have to work on it everyday. You understand you fall in and out of love with your spouse and the importance thing is coming back together

Total bs Elizabeth. U know that we are only to bow to God, but you had all these people to bow to you. God allows us to make our own choices in life. Elizabeth had no right to tell Margaret what to do. And by the way, the horse scene was sick. Even animals need some privacy.

[@kibblenbits]

You're the one full of BS. Bowing to the Queen has never been an act of worship, which is the bow scripture is referencing, but a sign of respect for her station. Obviously, you have no knowledge of history, because as the Queen, she certainly did have the right to veto Margaret's marriage plan's. However, Margaret still had the option to leave her royal duties, lose her position as an HRH, the lifestyle/income/perks (just like their uncle had done), and live a common life with whomever she wanted to marry. The fact that she didn't do this, shows how much she really loved the man. BTW, your comment about the horse scene is ridiculous, by applying human emotion's to animal reproduction, and show's you lack of knowledge in the field of animal husbandry. Breeding horses, especially valuable, well bred ones, by overseeing and controlling the situation is necessary to protect both the mare and the stallion from possible injury.
