[@Emrys91]

@mountaingal homemaker David was infertil after catching mumps as a child.

[@TheCandiceWang]

What's the diff between heir apparent and heir presumptive, please? Thx :)

[@martinen.5025]

@@TheCandiceWang As a British person who knows about these things, please may I explain? What I'm going to explain to you has now changed as of October 2011, but we'll talk about the change in law in a bit. An heir apparent is the person who, unless they die, WILL become King on the death of their mother or father who is the sovereign. Charles is the heir apparent. He cannot be overtaken by ANY other person. An heir presumptive is the person who, unless they die, is PRESUMED will become Queen on the death of her mother or father who is the sovereign. Now, you are wondering why I said King for heir apparent, and Queen for heir presumptive? Good question! Before the Queen changed the laws regarding primogeniture, (on 28 October 2011) ANY female born to someone in the line of succession, would be lower in the line of succession, to ANY males born after her. A good example of this is Princess Anne. Princess Anne is the Queen's SECOND child but is lower in the line of succession than her two younger brothers, Andrew and Edward, and their offspring and their offspring's offspring. This is the way aristocracy works and always has been. Now, the reason the previous person HALF correctly (it is heir presumptive, not heiress presumptive) referred to Princess Elizabeth as the heir presumptive is because, at the time of her uncle David's (Edward VIII) abdication in 1936, not only was her mother, aged 36, still young enough to have had another child who may have been male, but as long as her father was alive he could have had a legitimate son who would have outranked her - if her mother had died and George VI remarried and produced a son. Now, in the same year that William and Catherine married, and before the birth of any children, a changed in primogeniture law was passed by the Queen, which had to be agreed by the heads of state of every Commonwealth country, so that any girls born AFTER this date would not have younger brothers being above them in the line of succession. If William and Catherine's first-born had been a girl, we would have a Queen after William. What the change in law DOESN'T do is to change the order of succession for people born before this date. Heir apparent: Charles 2: William 3: George 4: Charlotte 5: Louis 6: Harry 7: Archie 8: Lilibet 9: Andrew 10: Beatrice (when Beatrice's baby arrives everyone moves down one place!) 11: Eugenie 12: August Brooksbank 13: Edward 14: James, Viscount Severn 15: Lady Louise Windsor 16: Princess Anne 17: Peter Phillips 18: Savannah Phillips 19: Isla Phillips 20: Zara Tindall

[@sirstephen9825]

As Edward had no children Elizabeth would have become queen upon his death if the abdication hadn't happened.

[@robynowen2583]

Since Edward and Wallis never had kids, Elizabeth would have been Queen anyway

[@AwesomeHairo]

But much, much later. Bertie would have been alive longer and Elizabeth would have been crowned in her 50's or something

[@WDKimball]

Elizabeth was second in line of succession as soon as she was born. The Prince of Wales was unmarried, so Prince Albert was the hier apparent and so his first daughter was next in line.

[@margaretlavender4418]

The Crown tried REALLY hard to keep their eyes blue! First they used contact lenses, then they CGI'd them a la GOT White Walker style, but both Olivia Coleman and HBC are SO expressive with the littlest eye movement, it makes up a HUGE part of both their acting abilities. The showrunners felt like both methods just RUINED the performances, so finally they said, "I guess well have to have brown eyed Windsors, and everyone will have to get over it."

If someone takes sleeping pills on a regular basis for years (as Margaret did) one needs higher doses as time goes by. So, it is not all that difficult to have a bad night and overdose by taking 2 or 3 pills... still not be able to fall asleep, then take 3 or 4 more... etc.

[@iloveyourunclebob]

@@billiebuffalo well, David lived longer so it would have went straight to Elizabeth, not her father. Unless of course David would have married someone else and had children. The whole reason he abdicated was because of Wallace. So, it might have been completely different if he didn't abdicate and married someone they wanted him to.

[@suekelley2109]

Jaded Wonderland the Duke of Windsor had mumps as a teenager. None of his many girlfriends or mistresses ever got pregnant, nor did his wife, and many historians think now he was probably sterile. His father King George (whatever number he was- V?) was on record as saying he hoped Edward (or David, as the family called him) would never have children and “nothing will keep Bertie and Lilibet from the Crown.” Queen Mary worked with Elizabeth’s governess to make sure Elizabeth had a more suitable education for a Queen than her mother had planned. Which The Crown kind of forgets about in the episode where Elizabeth is reading the riot act to her mother about her lack of education. She didn’t learn Trigonometry but she was well educated in languages, history and constitutional law. If it had been left up to her mother she probably wouldn’t have been as well educated, but Queen Mary was extremely well educated for a woman of her time and as Queen, wife of the reigning king, she actually had more say about Elizabeth’s education than her parents did.

It was a paralel to the scene where Churchill kissed queen's forehead in the first season. It was meant to show their close relationship probably.

Another historical "slip". In the 1st episode of season 3, we see the Queen's other living uncle, Henry, Duke of Gloucester at a dinner party. His wife Alice teases him about his perfect "spy" qualities--unnoticeable and unremarkable. He shoots a retort back to her. They're both seen briefly in other episodes (without dialogue) when the family "convenes". But he's also seen (albeit quite briefly) at the end of the last episode, when the Queen walks past her family on her way to her golden carriage during her Silver Jubilee celebration. That would be 1977. The Duke of Gloucester died in 1974. He shouldn't be there.

[@666set]

I honestly don't mind if the Moondust episode was historically inaccurate. No episodes in any series I've watched have made me relate so much. Love it endlessly!

[@brontewcat]

Elizabeth was always destined to be queen. Assume Edward VIII had not abdicated and married Wallis. He had no children, and brother would have died of lung cancer. Elizabeth would have become Queen 1972.

[@evelynwashere13]

Edward still had a chance to have kids with a different woman, unless he was the problem but even if he was they would have faked a pregnancy

[@brontewcat]

Evelynwashere 1 The point I was making - once Edward chose Wallis, even had he not abdicated Elizabeth was going to queen. Wallis was in her 40s and unlikely to bear children.

[@laurencarolina636]

His plan to marry Wallis necessitated the abdication. If he didn't abdicate, he couldn't have married Wallis and would have likely married someone else eventually. At the time, both marrying Wallis and keeping the crown were not possible.

[@Katielovegood44]

Well yes and no... she’s in the line, but as a hold every just assumed Edward as the oldest brother would have his own family. So it wasn’t till the queen was 10 ish was it obvious that was her fate. That’s why she preps a lot of family members now as that ‘mistake’ lol

I agree. Although dramatic, there are things that might have ocurred.

[@mrbennetts]

I think it’s quite frightening that many people are treating this series as a documentary. It’s just drama. It may probably be based on fact; however, a director may put whatever slant he may want on the drama. Truth doesn’t necessarily come into it.

The show is not supposed to be historically accurate, I believe the show's creator has stated that previously. While, yes, there is some historical accuracy, a lot is expanded or altered to suit the narrative.

I think it's interesting that people think that Queen elizabeth became queen only because her uncle abdicated. In truth, since Edward never had children the crown would have passed to her father then her anyway.

[@amandasterling7948]

Well, at the time, no one knew whether or not he'd have children. It was just assumed he would have. Of course now we can look back and shrug and say it wouldn't have made a difference, except that Elizabeth's reign would have been greatly shortened.

[@mumzee52]

Much has been made about the issue of "historical fact." It doesn't really bother me that for purposes of drama, some artistic license was taken in the show. As one person observed, "it's not the history channel." Most of the actors in this series are incredibly talented. Tobias Menzies is an absolute joy to watch, even in a role where he's reserved. One casting decision that possibly fell short; I would rather have seen someone else in the role of princess Margaret. Helena Bonham Carter has her own appeal but her performances strike me as too stylized. Maybe I just really wanted to like Princess Margaret. and her younger version was played much more sympathetically by Vanessa Kirby. Overall, I loved season three. Completely made me rethink my opinion about Charles and I felt helped me understand that family a little better regardless of certain artistic liberties.

[@TheFiown]

Any scene that doesn't contain an animal where the queen expresses emotion is WRONG anyway !

As much as I value the actors in this series, amazing actors, but I think Margaret and Queenie had the wrong casting, the same as the Queen mum. Though Claire Foy was perfect though, same eyes and very much like a young Elizabeth.

It sounded like she did. She's not even pretending to pronounce things correctly

[@dariusanderton3760]

I was in Scotland years ago and visited Castle Menzies, and it actually is pronounced something like Mengus . Its something to do with spellings and pronunciations in Scottish Gaelic. There are lots of things pronounced differently than how they are spelled. Probably in the US the pronunciation changed to match the spelling, according to English language pronunciations instead of Gaelic.

[@smacwhinnie]

True. Menzies aviation calls itself 'Mengis'

[@awesomesauceusername]

It seems that in an attempt to ride the popularity of The Crown, Ms. Mojo created a video without actual research. Tobias Mingus? AberFan? Did they actually watch the show?

[@sheilarough236]

Elizabeth was always in the line of succession. If The Duke of Windsor had never abdicated, her father probably would’ve still passed away relatively young, from lung cancer, leaving Elizabeth as her childless uncle’s heir. She would’ve had more time as a wife & mother before becoming queen. But she would’ve become queen, eventually

[@reubenbrown936]

1:19 "Tobias Mingus" classic gag

[@WildwoodClaire1]

The show's silly suggestion that Margaret achieved a US loan for the UK was trivial compared to the fanciful whoppers season 4 concocted about Margaret's discovery of the truth about the institutionalized Bowes-Lyon sisters. I suppose the series was desperate to make Margaret seem less of an irredeemably shallow, self-absorbed, inebriated hedonist.

[@hollyshouse928]

I didn't think they were saying Phillip became a Christian. I think Phillip was just having a crisis of faith and was confronting it

[@kethcup]

I've said it before, but they are bound to take creative license with the show. There is no way to know every detail. Plus there is pacing consider.

[@nbrown8386]

Exactly. I think people forget it is not a documentary. It is a tv drama that creates stories (some more fictional than others) around some key real life events. I enjoy the series, however I understand that it would have many elements of creative license.

from a filmmaker perspective (my own), fact number 6 is dramatised because they want to give power and stronger character to Margaret, because as you can see in whole 2 season, She was always far behind the Queen.

Just a quick reminder that some of this may not be accurate. There’s so much detail that the writers nor anyone else, actually know is fact. Only Queen Liz knows... and apparently she’s not confirming or denying anything from The Crown.

The queen seems frightfully dumb this season. Foy had a lot going on and played her as a woman with potential. Colman plays her as dull as dishwater an incredibly ordinary woman.

[@katerinaliakou5549]

I think, what you are referring to as dull, it is the evolution of a person whose duty to stay neutral, has become their whole life. Since being the Queen is a 24/7 job, growing up and after all those years of doing what she does, made her lose her personality. I think it is very realistic.

[@creolito9600]

Well if you look at the queen she's been acting like colman for the last 30 years now

[@wanderer7956]

While I enjoyed many parts of Season 3, what makes me scratch my head is the conspicuous absence of any mention of events in Northern Ireland and attacks by the IRA during this particular time period. I know the show tends to focus on the interpersonal dynamics of the royal family with politics playing a secondary role, but I find it odd the Troubles were completely left out during a time when a great deal of conflict was happening. Maybe in Season 4, given that should cover the time period when Lord Mountbatten was assassinated by the IRA. Or they plan on skipping it all together because no matter what perspective they take, they will stir up a hornet's nest.

The number one thing the Crown got wrong was the casting. Unlike seasons 1&2 the subsequent season 3 is hopeless casting with the drama now bordering on pantomime. Olivia Colman and her phoney accent is pure caricature.

“no evidence” doesn’t mean something is wrong lol. Do you really think such a private family would let all be known?? Sure, the queen admitted to having nothing to do with Charles & Camilla’s separation, but as we saw in the show, that doesn’t mean other members of the royal family did not. She ain’t the only one with the strings lol. You need to come up with something better then “no evidence” if you’re going to definitively say something is incorrect. “No evidence” doesn’t even stand up court, they call it “inconclusive” for a reason. You have to PROVE that it’s wrong.
