The scene when Queen Elizabeth visits Margaret in the hospital after her third stroke and she tells Elizabeth she can’t see or feel anything. The look on Elizabeth’s face when she realizes Margaret isn’t going to get better gets me.
Same, I think the entire episode where Margaret passes away is super sad. Because the queen says that life would be unbearable without her. It shows how deeply connected of a relationship they had and it’s so sad when Margaret dies.
What episode is this?
The episode about Aberfan disaster in season 3 broke my heart and really made me cry.. so many kids, so many lives..
agreed! series 3 as a whole was amazing as it had so many big events
The singing....
Yes. Most wracking episode, start to finish.
That first season…there’s nothing like it. Jared Harris was incredible. I still cry at that scene when he sings with the guests. When he explains to Philip about his duty being Elizabeth too. You know he’s trying to put his affairs in order.
“She is the job. She is the essence of your duty” was so beautiful. I love how Phillip embraces this at the end of season 2 and at the end of season 4 he explains to Diana, Elizabeth is their duty. He went from being a sulky young man with an ego to embracing he has a wife in such a powerful position who needs his love and respect. A beautiful character arc.
@@dollparts4918 you are absolutely right! Those words were so well written and splendidly delivered!!!
Jared was one of my favorite actors. He was amazing
It's sad that when Diana and Charles finally seem to get along while on the Australian tour, it's an all too fleeting moment, and it's not enough to save their already fractured marriage.
Props to the casting director for finding the right actors to play these iconic figures in a different time period especially for Princess Diana and Queen Elizabeth II. The actors are the main reason why this series was so damn good 🙌
Aww, Princess Alice’s story broke me in The Crown. She’s so strong despite being treated poorly 😢😢😢😢😢
Absolutely the very best episode, deeply moving.
The scene with Mohammed talking to Dodi's "ghost" was so damn good. Salim Dau (sp) stole that episode in the last 15. Beautiful performance. Also Dodi's funeral. A punch to the gut, all of it.
Salim Daw
Just this short clip made me cry all over again. So true
This one had me bawling. Especially at the end when he cried out don’t leave me.
Yeah Dodis funeral was well done
Khalid Abdalla was an amazing actor. So human. So real. Handsomer than the actual Dodi, Abdalla probably portrayed him as a more charming, more sincere man than the real one. The imagined conversation between Diana and Dodi was sweet but probably never happened … we’ll never know.
That scene where Diana and Charles try to reconcile after their divorce was so sweet. I wish their conversation could have ended on a good note.
The man that played Mohammad Al-Fyad (I hope I didn't butcher that name) was very remarkable in this last season. He brought me to tears when he wailed at the morgue as if he reached in deep in grief mourning the loss of Dodi. And the Sidney Johnson episode was my favorite. I cried hard with it too. It was so beautifully done.
*Al-Fayed
Salim Daw played Mohamed Al Fayed.
2 scenes hit me the hardest. The first is the morning in which everyone discovers the King has passed. The second is when Charles is at the hospital crying over Diana's body.
Agreed. The scene after King George has been found dead, where everyone's rushing around frantically, there's a momentary shot of Princess Margaret standing by herself in the hall in her dressing gown; she turns her head slightly and you can see the grief, shock and dread on her face. Maybe loneliness, too. Fantastic shot. Beautiful and resonant. Really sent me.
The scene in season 4 where Diana and Charles argued about Camila with Charles screaming "Morning, noon and night I care about her!" and Diana respond back by saying "Not the woman you married!!" really scared me. I feel so sorry for what Diana has gone through in her years as part of the Royal Family. I heard that Diana was treated way worse than the show depicted which is so sad for a beautiful soul like her 😢
She was Andrew and Maxwell liked to hit her allegedly
It's even more tragic that near the end of her life they actually got along well. I think without the burden of being married and free to be themselves with whoever they wanted, they manage to be friends for the sake of their kids.
I felt sad for Charles in that scne.
Margaret reuniting with the man she always loved was my favorite moment of season 5. And the fact he was played by Timothy Dalton (my favorite Bond and also a really talented actor) just made the episode more effective. As well, I'd say Elizabeth saying goodbye to Harold Wilson at the end of season 3. You wouldn't expect her to enjoy working with him, a Labour leader, a socialist, who is more attuned with the working class than he is the upper class (although he feels comfortable with her to admit he likes cigars over pipes). He was the first prime minister who didn't treat her like a child, and spoke honestly to her. She was so happy when he won his second term. And when he admitted he needed to step down because he recognized he had the first signs of Alzheimer's was heartbreaking. Even Margaret said "sorry you won't be meeting with your friend anymore."
Check him out in Jane Eyre!
@@leonie563 you mean Jane Eyre? I saw most of it. He was dynamic!
@@daydreamcomedianne sorry, yes, it's 7.30am....eating breakfast. Brain just kicked in...
@@daydreamcomedianne Michael Fassbender version was pretty awesome too.
The reconciliation between Dodi and Mohammed hit me hardest. It's a reconciliation that I know I will never have with my own father, because he's too narcissistic and obstinate to acknowledge that he caused significant damage to me in how I was raised.
So I took solace in that scene, because it's the closest I'll ever get to hearing those words I need to hear from my own father...and knowing what I know, it's enough.
Knowing you were ill treated is enough. You did not deserve to be abused. Give yourself the kindness you deserve and let go, sometimes others are unable to treat people with respect and kindness since they go thru life using people and think kindness is a weakness. You have survived till now, that takes courage! Someday someone will take strength from your survival.❤
@@christineparis5607 I needed to hear the words of remorse and the apology. I can’t speak for other childhood trauma survivors, but that’s something I needed to hear, and you spoiled the experience of sharing that thought by trying to put your ideas of how I feel in my mouth where they DO NOT BELONG.
Please don’t put intentions, thoughts and deeds in other people’s mouths. It’s unfair to me and it’s unfair to others that you did this to, and it invalidates what I and others say, and marginalizes our experiences.
Everyone’s experiences dealing with this issue are different, and I said what I needed in my statement. Please don’t say that I need anything different in order to manage my CPTSD, because you don’t know me. I, on the other hand DO.
@@janehopke878
So sorry! I was trying to encourage you and know others have been thru similar experiences. If you are super angry that I cared about you then I hope you feel better and will be more than happy to leave someone like you alone...
@@janehopke878relax. Christine was just being sympathetic
Should have added Prince Philip's tragic backstory from season 2. How as a boy he felt responsible for the deaths of his sister and her newly born child (giving birth midflight) who were killed in a plane crash. Prince Philips determination to build the gate in the pouring rain, being bullied at school and following on in his sisters funeral procession in Nazi Germany.
I second the notion. I really enjoyed learning more about Phillip as a person and what he had to survive.
100%. Phillip had such a tragic childhood. It was great to see he didn’t let it break him though.
Also difficult for me was the scene in which his father verbally attacked him and blamed him at his sister's funeral. Really rattled me.
The eighth episode of the final season: after a night out, the teenage princesses return to the palace where Elizabeth asks Margaret whether she’d like to join their parents for breakfast. Only we, the audience, however, see a 70 year old Margaret reply that she would not.
Oh yeah. 😢 We get so caught up in the flashback… and then the present reality just hits you in the face. I’m getting choked up now 😢
Ritz! That was one that really got me too.
Oh the death of Princess Margaret was THE MOST EMOTIONAL episode!! Very surprised you left they off the list entirely …..
They only did seasons 1-5 since season 6 didn’t come out when they posted this
I just broke at Charles' imaginary conversation with Diana on the plane
There is an episode when Prince Charles is sent away to a boarding school. His struggles and Prince Philip's un bending authority, trying to man up his son. Also in a later episode when Charles is in Wales and trying to learn Welsh, but the Queen fails to understand him or his efforts.
Can't believe this incredible show is coming to an end 😭
The moment that always sends a chill has to be the last scene of season 4's finale. Diana looked so empty and alone even with a room full of her supposed family. This, topped with a German cover of "Silent Night", really made this one of my top favourite scenes from The Crown. So heartbreaking yet so powerful.
👍👍for the casting director for finding the perfect actors for this time period! Princess Diana and Queen Elizabeth II are brilliant in this series. 👑👸
S3E5 "Coup" After spending a horsy day in the US with Porchy, at dinner that night Elizabeth opens up to him about her "unlived life". The life that would have made her so much more happy had she had the chance to live it. It was especially poignant because Porchy had been in love with her for decades.
I loved the end of that episode when Phillip kissed Elizabeth slowly, tenderly, before walking out of her office. You could tell Phillip then felt secure in terms of where he once felt uneasy with the idea of Porchie and the Queen.
I really liked the relationship between the Queen and Prime Minister Harold Wilson. They seem so opposed to each other and then for her to ask to have dinner with Prince Philip and the Wilson’s after he discloses his diagnosis was so touching.
The entire series was really well done and it showcased alot of historic events that occured in UK that i never knew about. Well researched, well studied and the cast was stellar from day 1. I hope they decide to one day bring it back and continue to make more seasons.
The reunion of Margaret and Peter after so many years. They were the loves of each others’ lives!
Alice was an amazing woman who was horribly underestimated! More should be explored about her life!
It’s too bad they never met again in this way in real life. It would have been nice if this scene actually happened.
@@susanmiller5035They did meet in 1992.
The Queen Mother in Scotland talking about "they take it all away" reminded me so much of my mom after my dad's death. She kept herself focus on taking care of my brother and I, on getting through, on keeping our family afloat, that it kept her from sinking under.
Princess Margo and her father singing (Bewitched, Bewildered..) was for me.
Her name was Princess Margaret
2:38 I really like this episode with Queen Mother. Really enjoyed it.
Perfect picks! Loved the video! ❤
Aberfan. Im 64 and those children would be about the same age now. Only town in the 1970s that didn’t have any teenagers as all lost in that disaster. That hymn ‘Jesu lover of my soul’ at the children’s funerals had me crying.
...and Philip's mum's story I'm the series. Awesome the way it was set up for the show with Princess Ann setting up the interview.
The ending of the JFK episode where the queen break protocols to honor the American president.
I think the entire episode where Margaret passes away is super sad. Because the queen says that life would be unbearable without her. It shows how deeply connected of a relationship they had and it’s so sad when Margaret dies.
We remember the last bittersweet Christmas we ever shared with our own loved ones.
Right off the start, queen saying bye bye to her yacht.... and 20% of British population is living below the poverty line. I understand that some objects can have sentimental value but I'm sorry I just don't have it in me to sympathize with a rich person that needs to give up their boat.
That final scene between the Queen and Margaret Thatcher 😢
By far, what I think is the most poignant scene in the series -- and one of the most powerful in the history of television -- is near the begining when Elizabeth becomes queen and arrives home, and Queen Mary is determined to get to Buckingham Palace "to be the first to kiss her hand." Queen Mary enters covered head to toe in mourning black including veil, approaches Elizabeth, and gives a very low curtsy even though she is in her 80s. The spectre in black, the creaking floorboards, the crescendo of the haunting music -- all makes for an indelible scene. Only when Elizabeth sees her grandmother curtsy to her does it finally sink in that she is Sovereign.
I'm rather sirprised, Ms. Mojo, that this scene is not on your list.
I wholeheartedly agree! That scene is the best in the series, which admittedly had a lot of poignant scenes. But Elizabeth seeing her Grandmother's formal curtsey, a person she, Elizabeth, had been curtseying to all her life, well, it was a show-stopper. The music, the pause in the Churchill speech, the actress' faces, it really heightened the drama, and could not have been done better. I've watched that specific episode many times, and it never fails to choke me up. Just wonderful!
1."You are the only man I have every loved. Can you look me in the face and honestly say the same?"
2. The entire Aberfan episode
3. Margaret falling apart seeing her father being embalmed, knowing that she will never be loved like that again.
4. "Nobody wants to hear it. Nobody cares how you feel". (Everyone with a narcissistic parent has heard and been destroyed by this type of statement.)
5. The POW weeping when he finds out the love of his life has married another man.
All of the moments got me, but when she sees her father for the last time brought back memories of when my father passed, I cried so hard because I knew what she was feeling and going through. Like in real life I lost my mother and father 1 year apart from each other as did the royal family did when prince Phillip past and then queen elizabeth so heartbreaking
The moment that hurt me most was when charles was essentially talking with diana's spirit the line "You know I've always loved you?" hit me the hardest. Even in diana's dying breath, even with diana's spirit, she loved him TRULY loved him.
But he never returned the love.
The death of King George VI
2:10 and this moment. 😢 It was so true.
#1 hit me the hardest. I lost my beloved mom at Christmas time 18 years ago.
I sympathise but what’s that to do with The Crown
Its all echoes, how princess alice is treated shows how uncomfortable they were with mental health issues and yet a strong and compassionate woman, bundled away out of sight. No wonder they couldn't deal with Diana, they couldn't bundle her away.
Khalid Abdalla was an amazing actor. So human. So real. Handsomer than the actual Dodi, Abdalla probably portrayed him as a more charming, more sincere man than the real one. The imagined conversation between Diana and Dodi was sweet but probably never happened … we’ll never know.
Well according to The Crown, she had to squeeze a tear out for the Abarfan disaster when 116 children and 28 adults died and yet cried for the decommissioning of Britania ?
The scene with the Queen's Piper where she's planning her funeral and the piper plays Sleep, Dearie, Sleep. When that staff member in another room joins in, singing the lyrics, it wracked me.
I always found Philip asking for Penny to be in the picture so heartbreaking. Yes, it was a friendship, but it also meant he had a strong emotional bond with someone else while he saw Elizabeth as part of his duty, but not someone he shares his heart wit.
9:42 Really sweet but sad
I looooooved all of them.
4:31 And this also. Really fascinating episode
I think the moral of the story is that money does not protect hearts and minds. Ive watched the entire series 3 times over and some favorite episodes more than that bc i just get immersed in it, like im with them in the room. The cast is so stellar, every single cast member inhabits their character so beautifully its like they are the real ppl. To me the standouts were Phillip, Ann, Edward, Lord Mountbatten, Mohammed el Fayed, Winston Churchill, but all of it was the best acting ive ever seen in anything ever, and im old so ive seen alot! Princess Margeret will stay in my heart. Thats the highest compliment i could give, that they were so passionate in their roles, i go by that and not there real names! They achieved what seemed unatainable in real life, the Royal family is humanized, they become ppl we can telate to, we see their humility and bravery, struggles and triumphs. They will all live on in my heart like dear friends, which now, they are❤️
Princess Alice was amazing and a true hero
Margaret telling the queen she must do it alone because there is only one queen.
The one where the two cousins were in an institution simply because of being born with cognitive disabilities was gut wrenching
Of course, we can't know exactly what happened before the escape from the Ritz and the crash!
I feel so much sadness in that Diana and Dodi found peace in one another and through that were ready to start putting their people pleasing aside and start anew. Just for it all to end.
Also the scene of Harry walking behind the carriage will forever be horrible to see.
Updated: sorry since apparently I didn’t use my words right and assumptions were made - the panning in on Harry’s face while they walked behind the carriage was the most heartbreaking scene for me.
It was not only Harry. It was her two sons. She had two sons.! Stop the narrative of only one son grieving. People tend to forget Wills or Wombat as his beloved mum calle him! Why on earth William means nothing to people? They were two boys walking behind their mother's coffin. Two sons in pain, not only one. See the real footage as well as the show!!! You may not like it, but there are two sons : William and Henry.
@@Vickytin obviously…. The question was what was the hardest moment to us as the viewers. And that was what spoke to me which I am allowed to feel as a viewer. Doesn’t mean I don’t also recognize others affected in the tragedy and feel for them as well.
Also assuming what someone else’s opinions are when you don’t know them isn’t a great quality to have. Work on that.
@@Vickytin what a nasty thing to say. I say the same thing. Harry younger I saw the same thing. Harry did look sadder. That’s probably cos he felt guilt cos he wished her said more during Harry and Diana’s telephone conversation. Harry wanted to go and play whilst stopping their phone call, not knowing that was the last time he was ever going to see her again. William knowing he’s second in like to the throne was also just as sad but didn’t show it in front of the cameras.
The Queen’s last meeting with Harold Wilson was much more bittersweet than the one with John Major.
Its so fitting that Peter is played by Timothy Dalton
True Timothy Dalton could have played any of them and be brilliant.
I love anything and everything about Diana ❤
🤮
The death of Margaret hit hard! Diana's too. I was alive during these times, so that must have been why.
You’re still alive, or you wouldn’t have bern able to write this.
yeah charles thanks
For me it was the final scene. In series, it represents the Queen recognising her mortality while making peace with her past. That's why she is wearing white while her past selves wear black. But we know that it's also an acknolegement of her passing IRL.
Why isn't there the Queen Elizabeth's funeral scene from season 6???
It was truly a marvelous ending to a 6-season drama
LOL the guy who plays old Peter was in Hot Fuzz 😂
There are 2 scenes that I think still don't get the credit it deserves.
Its a very small scene in season 1 during the final seconds of George VI funeral and the lord chamberlain breaks his pole to signal the official end of the monarchs reign the new queen mother Elizabeth looks back at the duke of Windsor with tears in her eyes and you can tell shes thinking "we are supposed to be at your funeral this was your reign originally" its a gut punching scene
The other one is Mrs Jackie Kennedy, where the queen decides to break role procol when she learns about the jfk assaination and how Jackie Kennedy famously didn't change her clothes when Johnson was sworn in. (She washed her face, which i think was a mistake that would have been a more haunting visual than the blood-stained clothes
The last 60 seconds of the episode when Margaret died. It destroyed me.
SECRETS 2 EP 8
Too bad i don't watch The Crown, i think i've missed a lot of moments like these. But anywho, happy tuesday afternoon, Emely, take care and God bless you, greetings from Colombia to you as well.
"The Queen" (2006) ➡️ "The Audience" (2013) ➡️ "The Crown" (2016) ➡️ The United Kingdom
Heated altercations between The Queen and The Iron Lady about putting sanction on apartheid south africa at CHOGM, Nassau should've been on the list .
How about Wallis' final days? I felt bad for her after being treated like a pariah after the abdication
She bought it on herself
You cannot make me care about that ridiculous boat. I won’t do it.
❤
I so related to the Queens grief when she had to let go of the royal yacht. Been there - got zero sympathy.
I love how she missing her yatch is a low point in her life. People lose their children to diseases and violence, Liz. Step up.
It wasn't about the Yacht , It was all the memories that it represented. Plus the recognition of time passing and having to let go of her youth. It was the recognition of knowing that her ends was coming and every one who has been on that yacht had gone before her.
The funny thing is the actors who played Charles had more chemistry with the actresses who played Diana than with Camilla
That’s probably cos they spent the longest crime with them. Good grief stop making a Diana versus Camilla scenario again.
@@pennyboulton9676 talking about the actors, calm your tits
If Charles hadn't allowed his extremely fragile and pathetic ego get in the way, then maybe it could have been a real life happily ever after. And if Dicky hadn't been assassinated as well.
No. It was Diana who never grew and matured and who had serious mental issues, who destroyed that marriage.
@@susanmorano405 I believe you forgot the part that Charles was jealous of her popularity which also contributed to the failure of their marriage. He only worsened her mental struggles.
@@susanmorano405 Charles worsened her mental issues with his stupid ego.
Arranged marriages never work; especially when the spouses don't/can't accept their required roles.
I remember being absolutely stunned to see Hamilton not getting a nomination for the stellar performance she gave.outright unacceptable.
Definitely Margaret. Heartbreaking.
She could have kept the yacht if she were willing to pay for it herself,
Aberfan
Rollerskates, not rollerblades.
Number 10 wouldn’t have happened if the Royal Family had footed the bill for the refurbishment of Britannia.
Wtf is that supposed to mean? There was and always be a Prime Pinisters no 1 Downing Street
@@pennyboulton9676- I meant the 10th event on this list, the decommissioning of HMY Britannia, would not have happened if the old bat wasn’t so stubborn and paid for the refurb herself.
After all it was as she claimed, her yacht.
Why didn't the Queen just BUY the yacht ?
I agree, maybe King Charles can pay for it to be restored to its former glory. The queen would have liked that.
I'm sorry a rich lady having to say goodbye to her fancy boat because she refused to pay for it herself and wanted her subjects to foot the bill, many of whom struggled to put food on the table for their families, is not bittersweet and it's ridiculous that y'all would pretend it is.
First 🎉🎉🎉
that scene of Edward narrating the coronation was probably the best scene in the show "take this unremarkable girl and dress her up and presto you have a goddess". second best one is Jackie walking up to windsor on a rainy day and the queen's guard yells at her to make way for queen's guard.
