    My favorite part of this episode: “We are being filmed watching television, that people might watch us watching television on their own television sets at home.” It perfectly captures the absurdity of the situation, and Helena’s pauses and emphases are magnificent.

      About as accurate except with maybe margaret as she was portrayed as a bit less civil and young than she was (not saying I'm not fond of Helena), but yes I am definitely attatched to the old cast; Claire Foy was great and Matt Smith and Edmund Tully (I think Tobias) are at polar ends of Prince Phillip's character, and however good the new cast are it's hard to move on especially when you consider them almost as 'companions'.

    What she says at the end, "The smoke and the mirrors, the mystery and the protocol, it's not there to keep us apart. It's there to keep us alive."
    I think it's a very literal translation of the press and papazzi coverage the royals would later endure, especially in relation to Princess Diana, and even now with Prince Harry and Meghan.

    what I find amazing is that none of the royal families of Denmark, Norway, Sweden, the Netherlands, Belgium (or as the UK Royals call them, "the Bicycle Riders") have the press problems the UK Royal family has had . and they've had some really interesting scandals --whoppers--that have NEVER rated the problems --or negative interest-- the UK family has suffered. The Scandinavian and Benelux royals are well-respected and well-loved and protected by their people and their press. The Danish monarchy is 1000 years OLDER than that of the UK and Queen Margarethe, the younger cousin of both the Queen and Philip, has made an independent life for herself, aside from that as Head of State.
    One wld think the UK royals would look around and ask themselves why this is and how to address this.

    What I don't understand is that this documentary was received well and yet in the Crown it's portrayed as universally hated. There are tons of examples like that where things that either just straight up didn't happen or happened but happened in the complete opposite way. You know like Margaret bad mouthing Kennedy or Wilson coming across like a buffoon and his government being incompetent. Don't even get me started on how they portrayed Kennedy in previous seasons. I get that they have to make up things when they don't know what happen but taking artistic license when the facts aren't known and then completely changing history when the facts are known to fit a narrative are two completely different things.

      I mean it does say it’s a “drama” a “series” I don’t think people watching it would think everything is 100% accurate I mean I didn’t so I don’t see a problem. Though I’m really weirded out that people back in the day LIKED that documentary?! Why?! Isn’t it total bogus and just shows a bunch of rich people being rich. Like the only person who WORKS was/is the Queen the other royal family members are just living luxuriously because of their status. And if that’s what they showed in the original documentary I think people should have been upset by it like they showed in the Crown. How do you know the documentary was received well by the public? And if it was received we’ll why did the Queen stopped it from being aired and like no one has ever seen it since?

If the palace belongs to the nation, the crown could empty the premises and let the building be used for other state matters.
      There is no reason for any country in the 21 century to have a monarchy. Your laws, your policies, your nation's development it's not in the hands of a bunch of rich baboons in a palace. It's in the hands of your politicians. Of the members of the Parlament.
