Meanwhile Eisenhower is learning everything he can about dogs and horses so that he won’t bore her.
Eisenhower could ride.
Eisenhower was quite familiar with horses. He was injured while riding a horse during his time at the US Military Academy and it nearly cost him a shot at becoming a commissioned officer. And later on, he had to train a horse named Blackie, which he often said was rather stubborn, during his time in the army. If anything, riding horses was probably the one common ground they had
I love how she’s concerned of looking stupid and being bad at conversation and then when she starts talking about horses the situation kinda flips and the professor is the one who looks stupid. Shows she’s not as unintelligent as she might think she is.
Exactly! It is a bit like what Harold Wilson said to her later in the show: "we can't be everything to everyone and still be true to ourselves." But later in this episode, the professor makes a much more important point:
"[She was] drilled for years in the finer points of our Constitution. You know it better than me, better than ✨️all✨️ of us. You have the only education that matters." At least, the only education she would need. She might have felt embarrassed about turning the conversation to dogs and horses, but just look how knowledgeable she was on both subjects! It's not that that's ALL she knew, but it was her comfort zone, I get that.
Pretty sure professor did that a little on purpose to make her feel better about herself. So nice of him regarding his position.
She never felt stupid. You are confusing unintelligent with uneducated.
I would have loved to discuss the Military Industrial Complex with Eisenhower. He was absolutely right.
"So I need to know all about him and what inerests him."
"The military industrial complex, Ma'am."
".....What?"
That exchange always makes me chuckle.
And it is completely true.
"Don't they all..." LOL!!! 😊
As an Irishman living 21 years in the U.K., I loved how Her Majesty in real life pushed cabinet for the Irish state visit to go ahead and for both of our presidents to be invited to the U.K. including for the Irish State Banquet at Windsor - the fact that she was so warmly welcomed by the Irish people to Ireland despite Lord Mountbatten’s murder and the IRA’s bombing campaign made me so proud to be Irish ❤
We have far more in common -
Cornish, English, Irish, Scots & Welsh -
than our divisions allow.
And we face a greater enemies now -
one that threatens all our futures.

@@zen4menfascism was what Britain fought against in its finest hour and now you want to bring it here.
@@john.premose
Nonsense.
You merely reveal yourself
by your inaccurate and unsulting comment.
/
99 percent of those who served in WW2
would have refused to fight
if they could see
the state of Britain's cities today.
A command and control system
is being built
in every district in the country.
This is funded by the Arabs.
Their religion
demands TOTAL global control.
Everything that religion does
is geared to that end.
/
Stuffing cities with that religion
means
that vast numbers of key jobs
will fall into their hands,
meaning
they are the rudder steering the ship.
Example -
the immigration judge
recently jailed for a huge racket -
the tip of the iceberg.
/
When riots next break out,
to "keep the peace"
tens of thousands of co-religionists -
many placed here by dinghy
in a huge operation costing hundreds of millions -
will be armed.
Patroling the streets.
Sharia law will be enforced.
/
We will wake up
to a coup d'etat.

I’m going to go out on a limb, and assume that this character (the professor) was fictitious for the purposes of the story. But if indeed, she did hire a tutor, and who could blame her if she did, it is kind of touching in a way. That is she and her father had something in common, they both had to call on the assistance of others. Her father, for his speech impediment, and she for higher education.
She did have a tutor.
She was highly educated by experts in the British constitution, politics and governance, even as a child. The Queen did not go to school or university, she was trained privately by tutors, brilliant minds in their fields, because it was always known she’d be Head of State. However, she was caught on the hop because her father suddenly deteriorated and died 20 years earlier than his presumed life expectancy.
@@tommoncrieff1154 She was 25 when her father died. His death was not the reason for the gaps in her education - his choices were.
@tommoncrieff1154 Not necessarily, when she was born her uncle was still childless, but they weren't 100% sure that she'd end up being Queen until Edward VIII abdicated. That being said, her parents were in their mid-30s at the time, it may well have still been possible for them to have more children, so maybe even then it wasn't a slam-dunk yet, since brothers still inherited first at the time
@@dillonlehane7134 They already knew the Queen Mother couldn't have more children, she'd had the first two by Caesarean and that was the limit according to medical wisdom at the time.
Knowledge isn't all about Politics, art, religion. She knew what interested her, horses and the arm services and later on in life it was books, she couldn't read enough of them.
She actually knows more than the professor on the subject of horse racing. I love her little smile when she realises it. She's not as stupid as she thinks she is!
Horses seem like a tastefully royal hobby. No shame in loving horses.
The way Claire Foy grills several government men in this episode reminds me of her splendid performance as Adora Belle Liebherz in Terry Pratchett's Going Postal. By the end of this episode, the young queen has learned a lot about dealing with powerful men, after which only people with really iron egos like Margaret Thatcher cause her problems.
As a baptized Presbyterian (though currently a Lutheran catechumen) I find the idea of us dunking people amusing. 😂 We just get sprinkled on the head, Your Majesty.
That was another bit that jarred. Scotland is almost all Presbyterian, I thought, in my pagan ignorance. Should not the Queen of the United Kingdom have known that little bit about an important set of her subjects?
@@indrajitgupta3280 Idk, maybe she thinks American Presbyterians are different from Scottish? (But we're not that different.)
I've known Presbyterians who went the immersion route, but yeah, sprinkling's pretty typical.
@TheGreatWerebear Yeah, we consider immersion to be _a_ (not _the_ ) legitimate form of baptism, but most Presbyterians don't do something difficult or fancy when something simple is an option.
It’s almost like when she extended the hand of friendship to Catholics in Northern Ireland, which being an Irish Catholic myself, was so heartwarming ❤
And what an education she ended up receiving over her lifetime. Probably wiser for all the world travel and experience than most of us, pretty easily.
THE SPORTING SPIRIT IN HIM!
no - Presbyterians don’t get dunked - we may occasionally get drunk 🤣😂 but very rarely dunked 🤣😂 🇨🇦🙏
YESSSS, knowledge is POWER!!
It has always astonished me that her mother, the former Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, thought it acceptable that a child who was heir to the throne from the age of 10 should be left almosts entirely uneducated. However, like most people I assumed it was because she herself had only received the most rudimentary education, and in that I was wrong. So what makes the attitude of the QM even more unforgivable is that not only was she herself properly taught BUT SHE WENT TO SCHOOL, where she excelled.
She was an avid self learner, and a renaissance woman. Her native curiosity and the realization questions engaged people socially served her well.
Much broader education than many a college student.
&michaelplunkett, I read an account by an art historian who was shown the world class art collection on display by her and indicated she knew nothing st all about the paintings or the artists, all great masters, but was keen on the horses and dogs depicted. Not what I would call a broad education. It’s surprising because as a princess who wasn’t expected to inherit, one would think she’d would have been better educated about the arts and been raised as a cultivated woman. She would have been a working royal and could have presumably been the patron of many arts organizations. We see how hard Princess Anne works.
I was born and raised the First Presbyterian and was baptized by font that is where they drizzle a bit of water that has been blessed over your head
Her Grace Queen Cersei: Power is power
She might have been a monster, but I did love that "practical demonstration" of her point when Littlefinger tried to blackmail her 🤣🤣🤣
Its shows like this that make me realize how small i am. the dogs, who played the queens corgis in this show, are more succesful than my entire bloodline.
Life is already hard competing amongst billions of people, no need to compare yourself to non-humans too. There are probably inanimate objects out there that have achieved greatness.
I really hope the professor didn't take that bet! Presbyterians dunking people in the river?
This is the same dude who played the KGB Chairman from Chernobyl. I recognize his voice
Oh my goodness you're right. And he's so affable and sympathetic here! Quite a difference.
I think it might have been curious to think of someone putting the presidents head under water and holding him down for a few moments. Considering the utter choas thaty would ensue if someone held the king or queens head down in a river.
The English seem to have a funny attitude toward education.
The author Tina Brown referred to Diana Spencer's education as "indifferent."
Maybe it's just the upper classes, they have economic security so they don't need to be ambitious...?
But there are larger and more important reasons for getting a college education, and when people can afford it so easily, I can't see why they forego it.
Queen Camilla didn't go to college, either.
OK, an amendment: after high school Camilla went to a finishing school, and then studied French and French literature at a university in Paris for six months.
Alan Williams also played Chairman Charkov in Chernobyl
Damn, I wouldn't had known. He played two different characters very well.
shoutout eisenhower
Ela reverenciou o professor
His back was turned when she put her head down
No Rolo !! it's not for sale !!
She might - she just might have done better to have looked for another professor!
In any case, shouldn't someone asked to brief his sovereign have asked for the 24 hours right at the beginning?
He came to tutor her on another subject. She asked specifically if he could brief her on Eisenhower instead as he was coming for a visit so he asked for time to prepare for the Eisenhower tutorial.
Indeed.
So now we know that those warscare INTENTIONAL.
First 😊
