The Crown (2016)	comment	The Crown is an award-winning Netflix original series which premiered on 4 November 2016. It follows the life of Queen Elizabeth II and that of her family, ministers, and governments, from her wedding in 1947 until 2005.Series One and Two, starring Claire Foy and Matt Smith as the monarch and consort, cover 1947 to 1963 and track Elizabeth's growth from young princess to experienced queen. King George VI's untimely death from cancer in 1952 pushes Elizabeth onto the throne far sooner than she had expected, only a few years after she married against the advice of her family. Her burgeoning family life is thrown into disarray by the obligations of her position as she struggles to embody the authority and dignity of the Crown. This is complicated by her husband's dissatisfaction with his role and the public misbehaviour of other Windsors. On top of all this, she must learn how far she can and cannot go in her role as monarch, especially when it comes to dealing with elder statesmen like Winston Churchill and foreign leaders who underestimate the young queen.Series Three and Four, starring Olivia Colman and Tobias Menzies as Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip, cover 1964 to 1990 and follow a middle-aged Elizabeth reigning at a time of economic turmoil while dealing with continued family drama behind the scenes.Series Five and Six have Imelda Staunton and Jonathan Pryce take over as the head and consort of the royal house.The series was created by and is written in large part by Peter Morgan, who has written a loose series of works about Elizabeth II's reign. The Queen is about the older Elizabeth (at the time of Diana's death) and her relationship with her then-new Prime Minister, Tony Blair; The Audience is about her entire reign; The Deal, meanwhile, is about Blair's deal with Gordon Brown to get the Labour leadership ahead of the 1997 election.The series has a recap page under construction.

The Crown (2016) / int_147996f2	comment	Love Ruins the Realm: The memory of the abdication crisis still hangs over the Windsors, which plays a large part in Elizabeth's ultimate decision to forbid Margaret and Peter's marriage. The shadow of David and Wallis affects the next generation of Windsors as well. It's one reason that Charles is pushed into marriage with Diana—the future king must have a blue-blooded wife with no apparent sexual history as the mother of his heir, and Camilla doesn't fit the bill. Ironically, that marriage ends up being a disaster for all concerned for different reasons, whereas had a bit more flexibility been employed and Charles been allowed to pursue Camilla from the start a lot of unnecessary misery and strife could have been avoided.

(David, or Edward VIII, notably lacks this.) Phillip's mother Alice, though no longer a royal of Greece, has been quite busy - not least as nun and head of a charity hospital. Even normally anti-monarchist newspapers are quite happy with her (a 'love letter' according to Philip), and in-story helps to continue the civil list for the royals.

This is particularly noticeable on the second series, in which the Queen suspects him of having cheated on her with a ballet dancer, an Australian journalist who uses her charms to get an interview (and maybe more) and, at the end, a hint that he may have become involved in the social circle of Stephen Ward (who basically used his social connections to pimp out call girls to upper-class men) â€” thus making him a peripheral player in the Profumo Scandal. The show tends to be sympathetic to Diana but holds her impassioned speech to save her marriage at a chilly remove. Is Diana being sincere about loving her husband, or does she just want to still be Queen of England someday?

Although the 9F was fast enough to be used in some passenger services, it was primarily a heavy freight engine, and the King would be pulled behind something a bit more prestigious. The engine is painted green, rather than the black it would've worn in regular service, and the scene is set in 1951, while the first 9F was built in 1954.

The Crown (2016) / int_20989d05	type	Parents as People
The Crown (2016) / int_20989d05	comment	Parents as People: George and Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon are portrayed as being loving and by and large Good Parents, but still possessing human faults. They decide to follow advice that Elizabeth only needs schooling in the areas directly relating to the monarch rather than the broad range of subjects a normal student has (leaving her feeling unequipped after taking the throne) and Margaret ends up feeling as though she's the lesser sister, causing her to act out for attention. Elizabeth and Philip fall under this, especially in Season 2, they love Charles but one either sees a reminder of her mortality in him (Elizabeth) or one feels outranked by Charles (Philip). Lord Mountbatten references this trope in "Paterfamilias" after Philip was disgraced by his father at the funeral of his sister, brother-in-law, and nephews: Said almost word-for-word by Philip himself to William, after the death of Diana when William couldn't quite figure out why to hate Charles for it, but still did. Charles and Diana in Season 5 - both are portrayed as reasonably loving parents to William and Harry, but they have markedly differing parenting styles, and their personal issues interfere with how they relate to their children. Diana comes across as My Beloved Smother at times, Charles comes across as cold and avoidant in comparison (though whether he's avoiding the kids or Diana is a different question), and neither one can conceal their disputes with one another from their children. When Elizabeth asks thirteen-year-old William how his parents are doing, he answers rather unhappily about both of them.

The Queen Mother even calls Philip's mother a Hun nun, which is odd, as Philip's mother was born at Windsor Castle in the presence of Queen Victoria, and was a bridesmaid at Queen Mary's wedding to George V. Even Queen Mary disparages the Greek Royal Family by exalting Britain's long traditions when Elizabeth brings up Philip's desire to modernize the British Monarchy:

One, is because she wants to move on from the recent troubles in their marriage and considers this to be a way to symbolize a new start. Two, she's become much colder and distant towards Charles (since he's her heir and a constant reminder of her mortality) and she wants a child who can simply be hers to love without the additional pressure of having to maintain the monarchy. Charles' and Diana's tumultuous relationship temporarily improves after the birth of William.

The Crown (2016) / int_23ff95fb	comment	Brutal Honesty: The crux of the tension between Churchill and Grahame Sutherland, his portraitist, in "Assassins." Churchill wants a portrait that will reflect his mythic self-identity as a titan of British politics. Sutherland, however, values honesty, and instead depicts Churchill as he is — a weak, increasingly frail elderly man. Lord Altrincham's criticisms of the monarchy and how increasingly out-of-touch it's becoming to modern Britain are depicted as this. The point is made at a scene late in the episode, when Elizabeth is secretly meeting with Altrincham; when he produces his list of proposed reforms and begins to read through them, Elizabeth peppers the conversation with some chippy commentary until Altrincham gently points out that he's only there in the first place at her request, heavily suggesting that even she knows that while she might not want to hear what he has to say, on some level she knows she needs to. Elizabeth is slightly humbled, concedes the point and allows him to continue without further snideness.

The first episode has a Cold Open with Elizabeth confronting Philip in his cabin on the Royal Yacht at the end of his Global Tour, before jumping back five months earlier to just before the start of the Tour. The scene isn't revisited until near the end of the third episode. The 5th episode of that same series opens on Lord Altrincham getting punched in the face while leaving the television studio where he recorded an interview about his article critical of the Queen. Just before the interview airs, the show jumps back to before the article was written.

It's played with in that the girlier half (Margaret) is the more rebellious one who is pushing against expectations foisted on her while Elizabeth is the more dutiful half. In the younger generation, this turns out to be Anne and Diana for a period of time. While Anne never particularly cared for fashion or the media's attention, she becomes resentful at the media constantly comparing her unfavourably with her more fashionable and public-facing sister-in-law.

The Crown (2016) / int_53136954	comment	Book Dumb: Elizabeth laments that she never received a proper education and can't really hold a conversation about current events and scientific developments. Others are quick to point out that her knowledge of the British Constitution is second-to-none, due to having received exclusive in-depth lessons as a child, and that not even her most experienced ministers would dare to take her on in a battle on the minutiae of constitutional matters. She wanted differently for her children. Charles is the first direct descendant in the family to have graduated from university, which he's seen attending in season 3. Neither Camilla nor Diana are portrayed as especially academic or well-read, particularly compared to the bookish Charles. Charles doesn't appear to mind this with Camilla, as they share a number of other interests. He is disdainful, however, of Diana's "incurious" nature.

Further explored in season 2, and made a major plot point in "Vergangenheit". Elizabeth attempts to live according to Christ's teachings, which are very clear about forgiveness. When David comes to her, asking for a chance to do good for his country again, she is inclined to forgive his past crimes and grant his request, even after uncovering some post-war German intelligence about his relations with the Nazis. However, after speaking to Tommy Lascelles and learning David's intentions of dethroning her father and his treasonous cooperation with the Nazis, she is unable to forgive her uncle.

The Crown (2016) / int_598513bb	type	Foolish Sibling, Responsible Sibling
The Crown (2016) / int_598513bb	comment	Foolish Sibling, Responsible Sibling: Margaret is the foolish sibling to Elizabeth's responsible one, but her father's death and forced separation from her love, on top of having to stifle her lively personality for publicity's sake, is what drives Margaret's acting out. It's also implied that the trope is played up more than it actually exists because the press wants the clichÃ© of the good queen and her wicked sister. Among the older generation, Edward VIII is the foolish sibling, throwing the nation into a constitutional crisis over his love life, while George VI is the responsible sibling, stoically taking the crown even though he really doesn't want to. Among the Queen's children, Charles, the heir, is serious, bookish, and feels the weight of his responsibility as heir to the throne. His younger siblings all live much more carefree lives. That said, Anne seems to be the most level-headed and clear-eyed of the lot of them (weirdly mixing some of the best and worst of her mother, her father, and her aunt). Philip shares Tommy Lascelles' theory about the Windsors. (Significantly, since Philip otherwise hated Tommy Lascelles and wouldn't agree with him about the colour of the sky if he could get away with it.) There were always the responsible, boring, but ultimately heroic ones, and the dazzling, but dangerous ones. Apart from the above mentioned, Philip also names George V as an example of the first and Prince Eddy as an example of the latter. Edward VII was also an example of the latter, while some of his siblings, though not mentioned, were examples of the first. Queen Victoria was one of the dull ones too. William and Harry are shown as the latest set in the final season. A teenage Harry even delivers an extensive monologue about being Foolish to Foil William's Responsible star qualities.

The Crown (2016) / int_6b05b601	comment	Jerkass Has a Point: Philip's handling of the coronation is treated as if he's indulging his own grand designs out of arrogance and boredom. When Elizabeth confronts him, however, he makes a very good point that bringing the people in touch with the British monarchy will help avoid the fate of his own family, who were deposed in an uprising following the monarchy gradually becoming too remote from the people they ruled over. Tommy Lascelles goes behind Elizabeth's back to browbeat her favoured secretary into refusing the position. When Elizabeth confronts him, he argues that breaking longstanding traditions can corrode the heart of the monarchy, as just Edward VIII's actions nearly toppled it. Elizabeth eventually has to concede that Lord Altrincham's criticisms of the palace and the crown have merit and eventually implements many of the changes he suggests. A postscript notes that doing so allowed the monarchy to survive into the modern age. This one depends on your point of view a bit, since — if you don't happen to be a member of the family or institution he's rather bluntly criticising — Altrincham generally comes across as a rather pleasant and well-meaning sort. The Duke of Windsor is snide and bitter about the Royal Family and his own abdication, but he's not entirely wrong to feel that the treatment that he and his wife receive from them and the British Establishment can border on the unnecessarily spiteful at times. In Season 3, after Princess Margaret's diplomatic success in America convincing President Johnson to approve a bailout to the United Kingdom, Elizabeth considers sharing some of her workload with Margaret in order to make her happier and give her more to do. While he's blunt about it, Philip points out several compelling reasons why this is a mistake; one diplomatic success does not a potential leader make, there is a good reason why the duties of the monarch are undertaken by one person, and while she may be the "boring" sister to Margaret's charmer, ultimately Elizabeth is much better equipped for the role than Margaret is. Charles decides that Andrew's wedding day is the right time to curtly remind him of his irrelevance, now that Charles has children. He's not wrong (as Anne's expression and Edward's near-memetic commentnote Let's say it again: "That was impressively cunty." suggest). While the failings of Elizabeth as a parental figure are given plenty of focus in Seasons 3 and 4, when Charles complains of how he is "suffering" in his marriage to Diana she is quick to take him to task for his self-pitying perspective on the situation. From the viewpoint of almost everyone else he and Diana are young, attractive and fabulously wealthy and powerful people living lives of envy for most of the world, and both his and Diana's constant acting out over their admittedly unfortunate situation just makes them look petty, ungrateful, self-obsessed and narcissistic. When Diana demands to know why she has to be separated from William for two weeks while she and Charles are touring Australia, Edward Adeane replies, "Because you married the Prince of Wales, ma'am."

"Ipatiev House" has an interesting one, as it consists of a flashback to 1918 when George V ponders whether to save the Romanovs (who are then shown being executed). Since there have been rumours of a potential Prequel series depicting the period between the death of Queen Victoria (1901) and the then-Princess Elizabeth's wedding with which The Crown began (1947), this might also count as a teaser for what such a show could be like. George V, who reigned from 1910 to 1936, would be a major character in such a series and what we see of him shows an interesting juxtaposition between two sides of his character — he has a pet parrot to whom he is clearly attached, but he also loves shooting game birds.

However, the series had previously taken great pains to establish that while Elizabeth's education in the arts and sciences was lacking at best, her constitutional and legal education was first-rate, as befitting a future monarch. So Elizabeth based a major promise to her sister on the Royal Marriages Act, yet either never bothered or was unable to read and understand the Act itself? The otherwise clever and sensible Penny Knatchbull grabs hold of this in "Ipatiev House" with her pet theory about Queen Mary telling George V to leave the Romanovs to their fate due to her personal jealousy of the Tsarina.

Several references are made to the fact that Philip grew up as this, since the Greek royal family into which he was born was overthrown when he was a babynote the same king was reinstalled a decade afterwards. This is a major reason why the Windsors initially opposed his marriage to Elizabeth, and why he's concerned about the monarchy staying in touch with the people. Although it's not given any context, Elizabeth and Margaret's aunt (and Philip's cousin) Princess Marina became one for many years after being suddenly widowed, probably explaining Margaret's catty one-sentence dismissal of her. Princess Alice, Prince Phillip's mother is seen as a nun in a convent, forced to sell her belongings to keep the convent afloat.

The Crown (2016) / int_7d89315b	comment	"The Reason You Suck" Speech: In "Lisbon", when Eileen Parker is divorcing Michael, the queen attempts to force her to remain married in order not to cause scandal as a favor to her, Eileen angrily refuses, saying that all her adult life has been about Elizabeth, who couldn't care less that Michael's devotion to the crown has destroyed their marriage. She then proceeds to tell her point blank that she is going to divorce Michael whether Elizabeth likes it or not. Delivered to Macmillan: Billy Wallace also learns that his smarmy gloating about getting into a duel over cheating on his fiance is a mistake, especially when said fiance happens to be Princess Margaret. Margaret also has a tendency to deliver rather waspish put-downs towards Elizabeth about her lack of charisma and personality as monarch, often to Elizabeth's face. It's deconstructed in this case, however; when given a chance to fill in for Elizabeth while she's on a royal tour, Margaret ends up causing offence to numerous dignitaries by being a bit too open with her honest (and rather cutting) remarks, requiring a dressing down from Elizabeth. Margaret is consequently forced to admit that the only reason she's so snide towards Elizabeth is out of jealousy and inferiority since, no matter how vicious she gets, at the end of the day she'll always be trapped in Elizabeth's shadow and there's nothing she can do about it. Elizabeth dishes one out to Charles in "Favourites" upon learning that Diana is miserable in their new home while Charles is preoccupied with her shortcomings and his own wants. Elizabeth tells him curtly that he ought to focus less on his own feelings and focus more on the expectant mother of his child and what she needs. Charles appears to take her words to heart and his and Diana's marriage at least temporarily improves after William's birth. Charles receives a few of these through the season, all for the same reason. Late in Season 4, Anne also berates him for his continual affair with Camilla and jeopardizing his marriage, pointing out that Camilla herself had married someone else, seemingly had no intention of leaving her husband, and, from Anne's perspective, wasn't nearly as emotionally invested in Charles as vice versa. Elizabeth gives out another one to Charles in the season 4 finale when he tries to discuss his unhappiness with Diana. Elizabeth tells him that to everyone else, he just looks like an unfaithful Jerkass who has given the lovely mother of his children an eating disorder. And in fact, to the rest of the country, both Charles and Diana look like a couple of overly privileged young people who are making a big to-do about how they're the most miserable people in the world and in actuality they feel much sorrier for themselves than anyone else can. Margaret gives Elizabeth a powerful one in "Annus Horribilis", starting with the well-worn grievance over Elizabeth preventing her from marrying Peter Townsend decades earlier, but from there pointing out that in the intervening decades, Elizabeth had never even acknowledged that she may have been wrong to do so, nor how it impacted Margaret, and went on to point out how her children were miserable for the same reason - that Elizabeth thought that as queen, she had to present herself as infallible, as opposed to a human who makes mistakes.

The Queen Mum denies any such thing (and George did love both daughters deeply), but Elizabeth suspects that he loved Margaret better, and Margaret believes it because it's one of the few things she has over Elizabeth. Margaret Thatcher in the fourth season episode "Favourites" is portrayed as favoring her son, Mark. Also in "Favourites", the Queen spends the episode trying to figure out which of her four children is her favorite, despite Philip knowing already and not letting her in on it. It's Andrew, though in context "least unfavorite" is more appropriate. Philip candidly admits that Anne is his favourite child. Interestingly, while they often have a tense relationship, Elizabeth tends to interact with Charles more than her other children, and seems to at least attempt to support him emotionally when she realizes he's still in love with Camilla and is dreading his marriage to Diana. No one - including Charles or Elizabeth - would consider him her "favourite", but honestly, he seems to be the only child she particularly knows at all.

Most of the romantic relationships in the show aren't particularly healthy, but they are originally portrayed as a particularly destructive pairing, to Love Ruins the Realm levels. Charles comes across as nearly obsessed with her. Throughout dating her and then carrying on an extramarital affair with her, he falls out with several members of his family over her, is never able to seriously consider any other woman romantically even when Camilla is unavailable, and eventually treats his actual wife terribly partially out of resentment over not being able to marry Camilla. Nearly everyone in his family, even the louche Margaret, disapproves of their relationship, and Elizabeth and Anne both give him blistering lectures over his ongoing affair with her. However in Season 5, their relationship is portrayed as much more mature, beneficial, and healthy, with even Diana acknowledging Charles was simply already in love with someone and there was nothing anyone involved could really do, particularly when she and Charles also became this in spades.

Elizabeth doesn't believe it because, as she points out, drinking's "when the nonsense comes out." According to Philip, Tommy Lascelles got very drunk when he revealed his theory about how the royal family always manages to produce one outgoing but risky type and one Boring But Sensible type per generation. Philip apparently has to get drunk in Season 4 to be able to express his own tortured feelings and resentments about his uncle Dickie Mountbatten and his Disappeared Dad Prince Andrew of Greece to Charles.

And if that wasn't enough, the second season reveals that he tried to strike a deal with the Nazis during World War II, in which they would restore him to the throne if they succeeded in conquering Britain.

The Crown (2016) / int_973d220f	comment	Never My Fault: The Queen Mother deflects blame for her and her husband not giving Elizabeth a wider education beyond the court and the constitution, by blaming instead their advisors, including Elizabeth's constitutional tutor, the Vice-Provost of Eton College, for not telling them the young Princess might need a more rounded curriculum. The Queen Mother also brushes off responsibility for her disabled relations who were locked away in institutions and declared "dead". Margaret rather justifiably calls her out when she yet again brings up Edward VIII's abdication - by that point fifty years prior! - as a justification for it. Charles outright refuses to take any responsibility for his marital problems with Diana, despite carrying on a long-term affair, verbally abusing her, rarely spending time with her, and generally behaving abominably towards her. Elizabeth herself gets called out about this, by both Charles and Margaret, in "Annus Horribilis", that essentially she felt unable to ever admit to or acknowledge mistakes, as she had been thoroughly inculcated that sovereigns are frankly not supposed to make mistakes.

The Crown (2016) / int_98576799	comment	Throw the Dog a Bone: After Charles went on a Protagonist Journey to Villain in Season 4, with the entirety of his arc focused on his mistreatment of Diana, his affair with Camilla, and his generally self-absorbed behaviour, Season 5 allows a little more nuance for his character. He's shown sympathizing with relatives dealing with an ill child, participating and running charitable events meant to help disadvantaged youth, working to restore and maintain the popularity of the monarchy even as he personally was under public fire, and even acknowledging some of his flaws, such as his tendency to "whine" about his own problems at inappropriate times. There's even one or two brief moments early in the season of him and Diana acting kindly or affectionately towards one another before their marriage blows up for good. He's still portrayed as rather self-absorbed and not exactly kind to Diana, but overall it's a far more layered portrayal than the previous season. Potentially Justified in-universe by Elizabeth's comment that separation from Diana had improved his disposition. Valet Sydney Johnson inspires a few of these. First, the much-maligned Duke and Duchess of Windsor take him under their wings and "teach him everything he knows" despite having little to no experience as a valet when they hired him (earning his lifelong loyalty to them). Then later, as the elderly valet to Mohamed Al-Fayed, he takes ill and dies, and the otherwise-sleazy Al-Fayed is shown caring for him through his illness and grieving at his grave afterwards. In both cases, otherwise-unlikeable characters show remarkable caring and kindness towards him.

Whilst the new cast have generally been met with praise, some fans have noted that the recast has lent series three the feeling of a brand new show, due to the different acting styles of the new cast members; for instance, Helena Bonham Carter's Margaret is much more flamboyant than Vanessa Kirby's.

The Crown (2016) / int_a5439ea9	comment	Cool Crown: Tiaras and crowns are seen in many important events, most of which are based on real life regalia. The opening credits show a piece of gold ore's gradual transformation into the Imperial State Crown. There is also St Edward's Crown, which is used for the official crowning of the monarch. It's stated to weigh 5 lbs, much heavier than the Imperial State Crown's 2.3 lbs, and Elizabeth practices walking with it so it won't fall off her head and to get used to the weight of it. It should be noted that the crown itself is shown to be Awesome, yet Impractical. It's disproportionately large compared to the wearer's head, and quite unbalanced (it visibly wobbled when George moved his head with it on).note In real life, the crown is resized as necessary to fit the Sovereign's head. That said, it's possible that scene occurred before the crown had been properly resized—everything about George VI's coronation was a bit rushed, since he took over his brother's coronation date. A Kenyan chieftain also has a pretty cool one, but since it doesn't look like a European crown, Philip mistakenly says, "Like the hat."

The Crown (2016) / int_a5f0752f	comment	Rule of Drama: Given how the Royal Family is famously zealous in protecting their personal privacy, we can never know how close to reality the series really is. The main reason for the Star-Crossed Lovers subplot for Princess Margaret and Peter Townsend, at least after Churchill's retirement. In Real Life, both the Queen and the Eden government were supportive of their relationship, and it remains a mystery why the marriage did not go ahead. note The princess met Townsend in October 1955 before issuing the statement which declared that she would not marry him. As the BBC speculates, a clue may come in a letter from the princess to Anthony Eden in August 1955: "It is only by seeing him (Townsend) in this way that I feel I can properly decide whether I can marry him or not." This letter indicates perhaps that her determination to marry him was not quite as strong as has been believed. Michael Parker was not forced to resign in disgrace the moment the news of his divorce broke. He resigned a month after his and Phillip's return from their big world tour, and this was most likely his own decision, since both Elizabeth and Phillip had expressed their support for him, and made him a Commander of the Royal Victorian order upon his resignation. Parker and Phillip remained in touch until Parker's death in 2001. A large part of Phillip's dudgeon and resentment over his place as subordinate to his wife and being overshadowed is this, as in public at least he has been scrupulous in accepting his place and duties.

The Crown (2016) / int_aabe2fb	type	Deliberate Values Dissonance
The Crown (2016) / int_aabe2fb	comment	Deliberate Values Dissonance: The show has been greatly praised for its willingness to show even its more-sympathetic characters engaging in the less-enlightened ideas of the time. Especially cringe-inducing is Elizabeth in "Hyde Park Corner" singing the praises of British colonialism during her trip to Kenya. One of King George VI's most notable attributes is the fact he always has a cigarette in hand. In real life, he was told by doctors to smoke in order to alleviate his stutter. Even after having a lung removed, he still smokes heavily. By the end of Series 1, Elizabeth has come to consider smoking a "filthy habit." In Series 2, Elizabeth remarks to Charles and Anne before their bedtime that the Royal Family must visit various nations so their citizens don't get "silly ideas" like rebelling or becoming independent. In Series 3, Tony begins cheating on Margaret and the rest of the family, most notably the Queen Mother, excuse or ignore his actions. When Margaret begins to fool around with a servant, she is promptly slut shamed. Later, Margaret tries to commit suicide as a result of her marital troubles. While Elizabeth is incredibly sympathetic and reassures Margaret she loves her, the Queen Mother scoffs it's merely a cry for attention. In Series 4, Elizabeth receives word of Diana's bulimia, and treats it like Diana's a whiny Attention Whore, as eating disorders were still stigmatized by the general public in the 1980s. Somewhat Downplayed, as Margaret and Anne are sympathetic, remarking "people do the worst things when they're unhappy."

John Kennedy congratulates Jackie on her catty insults about Elizabeth spurring the queen to keep Ghana from joining the Soviet Union.

They like doing outdoorsy things like hunting and riding horses, which aren't her cup of tea. She also wasn't given a full itinerary to know what clothes to pack, leaving her to go hunting in a dress and heels. Neither she nor her husband grew up in an aristocratic family so they don't know the proper protocols to follow. They both commit several breaches of etiquette. They're also in an unfamiliar house without being given a tour. Margaret yells at her for sitting in a chair that once belonged to Queen Victoria, even though no-one had told her that. She's very rightfully upset at having been put in such an unfamiliar situation and being insulted by all of them.

Harold Wilson has Alzheimer's during his second term and knows that his time as prime minister is running out. In spite of his condition, however, Wilson did go on to live for almost another 20 years (in reality it's unknown whether he had the condition when he was serving as Prime Minister, though some historians suspect he was in the early stages).

The Crown (2016) / int_bc74ef27	comment	Berserk Button: A rather understated and stoic one, as befitting the person. However, in "Vergangenheit," when Elizabeth refuses the Duke of Windsor's request for official royal jobs and to return to Britain, he launches into a self-pitying rant in which he decries the "inhumanity" of her and her family's treatment of him. Unfortunately, Elizabeth has recently been presented with evidence of the Duke's palling around with Nazis, which extended to borderline treasonous dealings with them while his former subjects were being bombed in the Blitz. Clearly this was a very bad choice of words, as she proceeds to let him have it with both barrels. This is echoed in Season 1, when the Duke is advised by both Tommy Lascelles and the Archbishop of Canterbury not to attend Elizabeth's coronation. He accuses Tommy of placing his personal animus towards the Duke above the country's welfare. The normally unflappable Tommy stands up and angrily replies that he will not allow the Duke to lecture him on patriotism. A less understated and stoic one from Elizabeth occurs earlier, however, when Philip — chafing at Elizabeth's determination to see through a major royal tour — accuses her of only doing so to try and compensate for her inferiority over not being her late father's favourite daughter, and cruelly mimics King George's stammer while doing so. He gets a drinking glass and a tennis racquet thrown at his head for his troubles.

At one point he describes his marriage to Wallis as being better than being a god, and on the whole their partnership is extremely affectionate and mutually loving. Truth in Television, as the Duke and Duchess of Windsor were a devoted couple, remaining married for over thirty years from 1937 until the Duke's death in 1972 — by far the Duchess's longest-lasting marriage. The Churchills also have a close and affectionate relationship. Margaret and Denis Thatcher are a loving couple, to the point where she's appalled by the notion of them not sleeping in the same bed together when they visit Balmoral.

Margaret is not allowed to marry Peter Townsend, a decorated veteran with a history of service to the Crown as a trusted servant of George VI, because he sought a divorce from his unfaithful wife, and the Church of England at the time condemned divorce as immoral and forbade the remarriage of divorced persons. However, it didn't forbid marriage to bisexual bohemian libertines, which is how Margaret winds up in her disastrous union with Antony Armstrong-Jones and, ultimately, divorced herself. Also, in series 3 the Queen Mother and Lord Mountbatten conspire to break up Prince Charles and Camilla Shand, with one of the stated reasons being that 'dangerous, unpredictable elements' shouldn't be allowed into the royal family. In real life, not only is Diana is eventually allowed in, which from the royals' perspective eventually becomes a disaster, but Charles ends up marrying Camilla anyway - and for further irony, is now marrying a divorcee instead of someone who isn't.

The Crown (2016) / int_c3c18143	comment	Hope Spot: While staying in Kenya at Treetops, Elizabeth tells Philip that after the tour she wants to return to Malta, where she and Philip were happiest, so that he can resume his naval career, and will write to her father asking so. Unfortunately, the King passes away overnight, and everything changes. Another, perhaps crueller, one is in the last episode of series one, when Margaret becomes 25, finally freeing her from having to ask Elizabeth's permission to marry Peter Townsend under the Royal Marriages Act 1772. However, her advisers at the time deliberately failed to mention that even after reaching the age of 25, she will still need the approval of Parliament, who is still violently opposed. Which forces Elizabeth and Margaret into direct conflict. Near the start of the Australia tour, Charles and Diana's argument turns into an honest discussion of their feelings, a realization that they're not so different, an Anguished Declaration of Love from Charles, and a decision to be kinder and more open towards each other. Their refreshed relationship makes the tour a triumph â€” and then Charles realizes that the cheering crowds are there mainly for Diana while disdaining him, and he withdraws back into cold resentment. A particularly bleak one comes in the flashback in "Ipatiev House" when the Romanovs — a father, a mother and their five children, plus four servants — are woken up in the middle of the night and told to get ready to leave. They're happy because think they're being evacuated out of Russia, and are not disabused of this notion until the Bolsheviks are pointing their guns at them.

Civil servants, it seems, treat Kings in much the same way they do Cabinet Ministers. After learning that Lord Altrincham's critique is gaining momentum and turning into a full-blown crisis for the monarchy, Elizabeth is shown contemplating a dead stag. A dead stag was also used as a symbol of the potential downfall of the monarchy in The Queen. John Majorâ€™s wife serves him a large serving of peas for dinner a likely reference to the recurring joke on Spitting Image.

Elizabeth takes Winston Churchill and Lord Salisbury to task over their hiding Churchill and Eden's poor health, seriously damaging the trust between Crown and Government upon which the entire function of the British Constitution rests. After Philip's previous dissatisfaction builds up into jealousy over Elizabeth's close friendship with Porchey, Elizabeth shames him with a short speech in which she says that plenty of people did want her to marry Porchey, and it probably would have been an easier marriage — but for better or worse, she has only ever loved Philip.

The Crown (2016) / int_d52d28b6	type	Hypocrite
The Crown (2016) / int_d52d28b6	comment	Hypocrite: Queen Mary expresses her disdain for Phillip's lineage ("..a royal family of carpetbaggers and parvenus, that goes back what? Ninety years?"). Mary's own father was a lowly German Duke from a morganatic line (similar to the Mountbattens), who at one point had to flee from London to avoid his creditors, and her own royal in-laws were very reluctant about letting her marry the heir to the throne for the same reason. note Furthermore, as a member of the House of GlÃ¼cksburg, Phillip can trace his royal lineage back to the Danish King Sweyn Forkbeard, who conquered England in 1013, before William the Conqueror was even born. When planning Elizabeth's coronation, Philip insists on several changes that aim to modernize and democratize the ceremony, which he feels is out of touch and out of date. Elizabeth agrees to support some of these changes, on one condition: that Philip kneel when she is crowned. He refuses this, and walks off without saying anything. When Anthony Eden says that his cabinet is opposed to Margaret and Peter's marriage on moral grounds, Elizabeth points out that there are several cabinet members (including Eden himself) who are themselves divorced. He concedes the point, but ultimately it doesn't help because of the Church's opposition. In real life, Eden drew up a plan in 1955 under which Princess Margaret could marry Townsend while keeping her royal title and her civil list allowance note Â£6,000 a year plus another Â£9,000 on marriage. She could continue to live in the UK and even continue with public duties if the public approved, as was highly likely. However, she would have to renounce her rights of succession and those of her children. The Church of England blocks Margaret's marriage on the grounds of their objection to divorce, even though the Church of England was created for the purpose of giving the monarch more power in religious affairs- most prominently, granting Henry VIII a divorce so that he could remarry to the wife of his choice. That said, the Church of England came into existence to annul Henry VIII's marriages, not divorce them - whereas a divorce ends a marriage, an annulment says it never started in the first place. Therefore there is no previous marriage to consider in the case of people with annulments, unlike divorces. It is often noted that Margaret's self-image of herself as a modern, independent woman-of-the-people often clashes rather drastically with her actual personality; she casually displays incredibly snobby and superior attitudes, treats her servants like dirt and views her step-relations (who are royalty in their own right) as jumped-up little coattail chasers. In "Imbroglio" the Queen Mother says that Camilla Shand's background matters, specifically contrasted with Philip being a royal prince. This is coming from the former Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, who was not royal herself before marrying Charles' grandfather.

The Duke gets bored of this life very quickly and longs for something more meaningful, but he is told in no uncertain terms that he burned those bridges long ago. Charles, to an increasing degree. He does spearhead a lot of philanthropy and makes many public appearances, but he often laments that he's essentially in stasis as heir to the throne, unable to pursue a meaningful career and more or less forced into a life of leisure.

The Crown (2016) / int_deecc9eb	comment	Awful Wedded Life: Most of the marriages in the show, really. Margaret's marriage is in dire shape by Season 3, with she and Antony sniping at each other at nearly every opportunity. Antony even takes to writing down insults and hiding them where Margaret will find them later. Elizabeth's and Philip's improves over time, but is seriously rocky in the early seasons. The majority of Charles' and Diana's marriage is straight misery with a few nice moments. Anne and Mark are both deeply unhappy and having affairs, as are Camilla and Andrew. But perhaps the grimmest marriage portrayed in the show is Prime Minister Harold Macmillan and his wife Dorothy, the latter of whom is openly contemptuous of the former, and carries on a long-term affair with Robert Boothby. In Real Life, Harold and Dorothy knew their marriage had been over for decades, but in an era before no-fault divorce, stayed together for the sake of Harold's political career while living almost entirely separate lives.

The Crown (2016) / int_df04089a	comment	Lineage Comes from the Father: Which is why Louis Mountbatten is quick to boast that with the Queen's succession, "the House of Mountbatten now rules." When this gets back to Queen Mary, whose husband began the House of Windsor, she acts quickly with Tommy Lascelles, and the Queen Mother, to pressure the Queen to officially keep the name of the Royal Family as Windsor. Unfortunately, this is also one of the reasons that Philip and Elizabeth's marriage becomes tense. The irony is that Philip and his uncle aren't playing this trope completely straight either, since the name Mountbatten comes from Philip's mother's side of the family. As Winston Churchill points out, his paternal name is the unwieldy Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-GlÃ¼cksburg. Even if one were to accept "Mountbatten" as Philip's last name, the name "Mountbatten" was fairly recent itself; until anti-German sentiment in WWI forced a change, the family's name was "Battenberg," "Berg" being a German word for "Mountain." To be fair, Louis Mountbatten had legitimate reason to think his last name would become the house's name: the issue of Queen Victoria (the only other queen regnant who had issue) used the name "Saxe-Coburg and Gotha," which was the name of her husband Albert's house, rather than Victoria's house (Hanover). note The anti-German sentiment mentioned above caused George V to change the house's name to "Windsor" in 1917. Elizabeth keeping her house's name is the exception, not the rule.

The Crown (2016) / int_e5fd8bc2	comment	Hate Sink: The first seasons Big Bad of sorts, the former King Edward VIII, who abdicated the throne in 1936 in order to marry his twice-divorced lover, the former Mrs Wallis Simpson. And if that wasn't enough, the second season reveals that he tried to strike a deal with the Nazis during World War II, in which they would restore him to the throne if they succeeded in conquering Britain. Though he does mellow with age and show remorse for his actions. Ted Heath, Prime Minister, once again from the Conservative Party. Supposedly an innovator, he instead proceeds to put the country into a coal crisis which makes him very unpopular with the people. Mr Edward Adeane, Prince Charles' Private Secretary and the son of Michael Adeane. He is totally unfeeling to how Diana feels. Prince Andrew and Prince Charles both take huge Levels in Jerkass season 4, the former being a sexual deviant and generally pompous prick with little to no redeeming qualities, and Charles is the same (to a lesser extent, however) and is a borderline domestic abuser who is portrayed as selfish and arrogant although not as much as his brother (keep in mind that, unlike Andrew's relationship with Epstein which is being hinted at, Charles' own relationship with Jimmy Savile was completely scrapped). Mark Thatcher is a Spoiled Brat who is basically Andrew without the sexual deviant overtones.

The Crown (2016) / int_e83f211c	comment	O.O.C. Is Serious Business: The most influential advice Elizabeth receives on Margaret's marriage comes from David, the former King Edward VIII. David has spent the last 15 years defending his breaking of royal rules for love, but still advises Elizabeth to put the crown before Margaret's marriage. Sir Tommy Lascelles, normally a stickler for tradition and custom, combating any breach of protocol to his last, suggests that Elizabeth consider removing Churchill from power for his mishandling of the Great Smog, a crisis which is killing hundreds but Churchill is denying is even a problem. From Lascelles, who wouldn't even let Philip escort Elizabeth down the flight ramp because it would be improper, it's a shocking sentiment, highlighting just how dire the situation had become. note Removing Winston would be, at best, a breach of tradition on-par with the abdication, and at worst, downright illegal. When Elizabeth tells Phillip that she is thinking of rehabilitating the Duke of Windsor, Phillip points out that it says something about how much he is against the idea that he wants her to seek the advice of Tommy Lascelles.

And in fact, to the rest of the country, both Charles and Diana look like a couple of overly privileged young people who are making a big to-do about how they're the most miserable people in the world and in actuality they feel much sorrier for themselves than anyone else can.

The Crown (2016) / int_edfb8d92	type	The Generation Gap
The Crown (2016) / int_edfb8d92	comment	The Generation Gap: In the later series, particularly around attitudes towards marriage. Elizabeth was 21 when she married Philip, would have married him earlier if not for the war, and seems puzzled when an aide points out that 19-year-old Diana might need additional training for her impending role as Princess of Wales due to her young age. Additionally, Elizabeth doesn't seem to understand that Charles and Diana have different expectations of marriage than people had in the 1940s, and that divorce is far more socially acceptable and not the tremendous scandal it was in Elizabeth's youth. This leads to a communication gap where Elizabeth continually pushes them to "make it work" - she is largely thinking of the unhappy marriages seen in the first two series, when spouses ignored each other's infidelities or lived separate lives while presenting a happy face to the public. Charles and Diana continually interpret this as finding a way to be happy together, a seemingly impossible feat for the two of them.

When the king's physician does inform him that it's returned, fatally, George decides to keep it from his family. Churchill tries to keep his strokes a secret, but his Private Secretary lets it slip when he thinks Elizabeth summoned him to discuss it. Tommy Lascelles, on the Queen Mother's instruction, deliberately hides the full details of Royal Marriages Act 1772 from the Queen, in hopes that Princess Margaret will lose interest in Peter before she is 25. When that doesn't happen, he instructs Michael Adeane to bring up the full act as a final roadblock. In "Queen Victoria Syndrome", palace staffers go to great lengths to conceal a scathing headline from Elizabeth regarding a drop in her popularity. Charles points out that considering the main complaint is that Elizabeth seems "out of touch", this effort to insulate her from bad news was a major part of the problem.

The Crown (2016) / int_f740a274	comment	Historical Beauty Update: Victoria Hamilton is much slimmer and conventionally beautiful in contrast to the real Queen Mother's ordinariness (there's a reason why the Duke and Duchess of Windsor derisively called her "Cookie"). Marion Bailey in Seasons 3-4 is a little closer to the historical Queen Mother's proportions and appearance. While her first scene as an older Queen has her acknowledging her beauty is beginning to fade due to age, in Seasons 3 and 4, Elizabeth is now played by the lovely Olivia Colman. Played straight with Camilla Shand (Parker Bowles), who was famously compared unfavorably to Charles's beloved and beautiful ex-wife Diana Spencer, portrayed in Series 3 and 4 by the gorgeous, pouty-lipped and voluptuous Emerald Fennell. Prince Charles was fine looking in his younger years, but he is played by the far more conventionally handsome Josh O'Connor â€” cleverly though, as they do look alike. Consequently his Charles is not dramatically less attractive than Emma Corrin, who portrays world-famous beauty Diana.
