[@diamondlil7819]

What an odd reply. The 'real' Queen actually did dance with Nkrumah and we have photos to prove it. Moreover, as head of a multicultural commonwealth, she is used to mixing with people from all over the world and considers them her people whatever their colour or race. Was that remark posted by some racist idiot from the southern states who knows nothing about the Queen and her attitudes?

[@diamondlil7819]

It's a big leap to say that because Prince Philip has said a handful of cringeworthy things over a period of more than 90 years, then the Queen's the same. It's sweeping and you're wrong. You make it sound as though he was abusive of negroes every time he opened his mouth whereas most of his ill-timed jokes were just about everyone else you can think of. Philip wasn't brought up to be the head of a multi-racial British empire/commonwealth and Elizabeth was: their attitudes are bound to be different. And Harry's engagement to Meghan seems to have thrilled everyone, including the Queen and Prince Philip. Philip has spent most of his life trying to modernise attitudes in the Palace and I expect that he sees this marriage as one more step along the road, something that will help to maintain the popularity of the Crown in the UK, something that will help the Royal Family to promote 'the Firm'.

[@diamondlil7819]

No, I don't get you wrong - I think I know precisely where you're coming from. You're a racist and just want to draw important people like Prince Philip into your circle of 'people who think like me'. You're deluded and I'm sure if Prince P were ever in the same room as you, he would studiously avoid your company as not the sort of narrow-minded person he would want to mix with. So, stop tarring him with your brush.

[@markdavis1611]

Hi Annette

[@sierotkamarysia4199]

"This was definitely not agreed!"

[@johnfurlong8301]

I wouldn’t say she’s controlled but constitutionally she acts on the advice of her ministers. For instance Tony Blair advised her to declare war on Iraq so she went along with it. It doesn’t mean she personally was in favour and is strictly forbidden from expressing political opinions. In recent years the closest she came to this was urging Scots to ‘think carefully’ about the independence vote. She could never come out and urge people to vote one way or the other. Her ability to walk this delicate political tight rope is partly why she’s such a great monarch.

[@szabados1980]

She could come out and make a political statement, there is nothing to prevent her from it, but she knows she is better off not making one. She leaves it to the politicians. But in this scene we could see how The Queen, the real one, still found a way to make such a statement when she felt right to do so. A few decades later she drove a Saudi crown prince around in her car herself. Which is fairly ordinary for us but for a Saudi it was a clear message on women's equality.

[@EMPuello87]

She’s a Queen not a stripper

[@pam0626]

The writers dovetailed two different storylines together so beautifully in this episode. The Queen is dancing with the PM of Ghana to arouse a bit of jealousy in Philip and make him see her as desirable like Jackie Kennedy, who, earlier in the episode, flirted with Philip at a BP state dinner. She also found out that Jackie insulted her behind her back, making Elizabeth feel like a middle-aged, dowdy simpleton. This simple gesture of dancing with the PM was Elizabeth’s proclaiming to Philip, “Don’t count me out yet.” But it also had greater implications as it helped solidify Ghana’s decision to remain in the Commonwealth instead of accepting help from Russia & China to become a Communist nation free from apartheid. It was a win/win for Elizabeth and Britain.

Not only was the dance notable for its political implications, but the fact that the Queen of the oldest monarchy in the world, would dance with an African, dignitary or not, in the middle of the birth of one of the worse blots on Britain's history, Apartheid, confirmed her intelligence and recognition of ALL her subjects. Many were horrified that she would allow an African to "touch" her even while they were busy committing all sorts of atrocities, raping Africa of its resources, seizing land, and imposing an almost fuedal system of racial divide and superiority that would continue for decades. Being careful to retain in her place as Queen, but still allowing Parliament to conduct crown governmental affairs, she demonstrated her viewpoint in one fell swoop with that dance; that she would not be a party to the vile institution that would establish itself with a vengeance. Of course, there were other political implications with Nkrumah's government itself, but that one act demonstrated Elizabeth's strength and conviction that she was The Queen of all, not a select few. Her admiration of Mandela in the coming years, is a testimony to her real feelings. As an American, that was the scene that impressed me most and knowing the history surrounding it, gave me an even more appreciation of that "moment of time" in history.

[@TheTororist]

i dont think apartheid was a british thing, it was south african, mostly dutch (boer) invention. not excusing the british though, they practiced a similar form of separatism in my country (kenya) but we had an uprising and eventually won independence

[@LaszloFrancino]

Great comment. A bit of correction, though: the oldest monarchy in the world is Japan. Denmark is the oldest in Europe. The preeminence of the British monarchy is due to the British Empire.

[@sheilahanindra3316]

Excellent 👏

[@murrayaronson3753]

Did this actually happen? Sometime in the 1890s the Prime Minister the Marquess of Salisbury complained to Queen Victoria that a man of color (an Indian) was elected to the House of Commons. HMQ asked Lord Salisbury if the man now an M.P. was one of her subjects. Lord Salisbury answered that he was. Queen Victoria said to her Prime Minister to the effect that she didn't see any problem with that. End of discussion. After the war maybe in 1947 King George VI and his family, including then Princess Elizabeth, sailed to the Union of South Africa for a long visit. And this was before the Nationalist Party won in the 1948 elections and started instituting the strict apartheid policy. Princess Elizabeth was instructed by South African officials that she was not to thank any of the black African servants that would do various tasks for her. Princess Elizabeth had been taught to treat the Royal Family's servants with respect and to always thank them. In South Africa the future Queen Elizabeth got a kind of lesson in how racism operates and oppresses, although in a uniquely privileged way. I've read that Queen Elizabeth had great respect for Nelson Mandela, even awarding him with the Order of Merit. I've read that Nelson Mandela and Queen Elizabeth were a mutual admiration society.

One of my absolutely favourite scenes. In reality this caused quite the controversy in the UK but mostly because the high up muckity mucks were so shocked and disapproving of her dancing with a black man (and Americans were horrified as the black population there was still mostly denied the vote never mind anything else). However moves like this by the Queen, and remember the royal family has zero political power, cemented the Commonwealth into what it is today. She was an amazing woman who wanted to change the way things were and she was well beyond her time. It was also known that Prince Phillip loved watching her shake things up.

This is one of my favorite scenes on TV, in movies, anywhere. Loved the guy who played Martin Charteris!

[@mbsheisey]

It is my favorite too! Love it when the dance band starts "Begin the Beguine!"

[@johndean958]

This is the influence of our Queen. Genuine and amazing influence. She loves her people and and no politician has their heart in their country like she does. I love her. John (Australia)

Honest question: how come Barbados cut them off?

“Oh Lord” is my favorite part of the scene. 😂 He’s such a wonderful actor. I enjoyed him on Downton as well! And the voice of my Inquisitor. 🤓

[@devinchoc6122]

I can’t take my eyes off Philip. He was literally beaming with pride

[@anonymousanthropoid]

I LOVE THIS SCENE SO MUCH. the best scene of season 2! Love that smile Philip gives her at 2:12 asdfghjkdksk

[@madisononeill9694]

I cried with joy when this scene came on. Such a remarkable woman who really paved way for a new way to reign.

[@stephaniestanley8041]

Madison I've watched a dozen times. It's joyous. We should all have this moment once in our lives. It gives me hope.

Crap anything to make the black race look good. Typical propaganda from the left-wing media.

[@anthonymarques7977]

Despite the fact that Prime Minister Kwame Nkrumah had very strong reservations about the British monarchy as a self-proclaimed communist, he must have admitted to himself as well to his fellow comrades that dancing with Britain's God-anointed Queen was the most enchanting evening of his entire life.

[@pahanjayasooriya2513]

Look at the difference between Philip's and Charles's thoughts

[@Dylanj-eg4fv]

01:37 I love the panic in his voice it's hilarious

[@tunichtgut8730]

I'll never forget the beaming smile from this gentleman of Ghana on the photos. Long live the Queen!

Great bit of comic business when the British official gets crowded back by the photographers 😄

[@alanhutchins5916]

What's She doing...!!!????, Err....I think it's the Foxtrot Sir .......

[@chykim1]

What I thought most beautiful afterwards, my kids didn't understand the big deal... All they saw were two totals dancing together.. 💕

This is my favourite episode of the entire series I have re-watched it so many times 😆🇨🇦

Our most courageous leader... Her Majesty will be missed.. 😍

When Lord Hexham says, I believe it’s the foxtrot. 😂😂

“HWHOT?”

When he says 'I believe it's the foxtrot', his amazing facial expression makes him look like a charter member of the Drones Club. Priceless

I like the scene on the plane journey back home when she orders the audience with the first lady to be held at Windsor Castle and she says "sometimes only a fortress will do"

[@ajedieditor7758]

One of my favorite scenes of the entire show so far! Claire as QEII looks absolutely ravishing!

[@astrofabio68]

the best scene of The Queen...I miss Claire Foy, she is perfect in that role

[@stans303]

"Our Queen is dancing..with a African..... WHAT !!!??" 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

[@craigspain2349]

I am watching this again, this time right after she passed away. She's been in the world for such a long time. Hard to believe she's gone.

[@janetbratter1]

Yes...It’s my favorite scene in season 2...Cagey Queen. Smarter than she or anyone else realized...

[@reuben7090]

The palace officials must have fainted after hearing this.. Poor Philip!!! No one to dance with.

[@nicolasuribestanko]

In real life, he danced with Nkrumah's wife while Elizabeth danced the highlife (not foxtrot) with Nkrumah.

[@guifdcanalli]

To be fair this is not an innocent dance, is a diplomatic act from both, and Philip knew, thats why he looks so proud

[@nykia31]

This is maybe my favorite scene of the 1st 2 seasons. Most of the time we saw her being a strict conformist and socially awkward. Here she is legitimately having FUN

[@vai280194]

"Get her out of there!" so funny, like a parent!

[@NiVi192]

This is pure gold in any possible regard!😀👏🏻 BTW, Dancing Queen in Season 2 and Diana's Uptown Girl in Season 4 - They better think of something really original for the next generation in Season 6! :D
