@@nicolelawless3199 Oh, enough of the she-was-a-poor-little-angel propaganda from the Cult of Diana. The former Princess of Wales had her own issues; her infantile codependence being one. It wasn't Charles' fault that Diana was naive and immature and thus a total mismatch for him; just as it wasn't her fault that Charles had a need for approval and was more philosophically- and intellectually-minded. Contrary to what 'The Crown' will have you believe, Charles did not have a close relationship with Camilla through the early years of his marriage. Only later, as things between he and Diana started to break down because of the chasm between their personalities did he rekindle his connection to Camilla. _Then_ DIana played The BIggest Victim on the Planet, taking no responsibility for her own actions, as is typical of juvenile people.

That speech she gives Phillip about marrying him besides her family's dismay always breaks my heart. You can definitely see the hurt in her eyes while she maintains her composure.
A brief look at history does also show that the establishment really were against it and very much preferred she look elsewhere Strong will was a hall mark of hers even then
Very true. Princess Elizabeth loved him from the first time she met him. She was only like 14 or something like that, young teenager. Prince Philip was so handsome, any girl would be smitten. But she loved him, grew into actual love. Not sure about Prince Philip but I think he definitely did come to appreciate and respect her, which is pretty close to love. He came from such an emotionally deprived background it's possible he never knew what love was until he got some from her.
A few u left out, like when Charles came to her for her to say thank you after his visit to Wales and speach. And When the prime Minister abdicated while she was pregnant, and she said something like "Do know? I have been queen barely 10 years now, and in that time I have had 3 prime Minister, all of then clever men, great men, brilliant men, not one has lasted the course, they have been too old, too ill or too weak, a confederacy of elected quitters"
@@Chuck0856 You're splitting hairs. In reality, anyone can abdicate. To abdicate simply means to quite or resign or abandon one's duties. It would not be incorrect to state that Nixon abdicated the presidency. Trump certainly abdicated his responsibilities in his last few months as president.
Claire as the Queen has rendered stellar performance. I watch The Crown Series again and again only because of such unpretentiously natural performance of Foy. She is really the Queen . I have watched endless number of films and the series. But Foy remains unmatchable in my estimation
Now that I watched series 3 and 4, I definitely think Claire Foy did a much better job than Olivia Colman. She’s got a lot more acting to do. She transforms in front of the camera. Olivia just had one tone to play and was a lot more unlikable.
Please though guys. Is there any clear tendencies that she doesn't want Charles to suceed her. And to say that a mother would want to outlive her child. That is very mean isn' it? Even though the child is becoming old at this point.
@@vampiregamingyt8754 yes…you have to remember those bombing raids on Buckingham Palace were a direct attempt to assassinate King George VI and Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother.

They also do a great job highlighting the distance the Queen keeps with everyone especially her children. Literally stands behind a chair to talk to Charles about marriage issues. Not together on the couch, standing “like privy council, ...too keep it brief”
What I respected about Elizabeth was that she was a strong woman but never once lost her femininity. She was proud to be a mother, a wife, and a queen. She will be sorely missed.
@@quinnhall8205 Many people are of the mistaken belief that to be strong, women must abandon all femininity and become men with XX chromosomes. This is seen in fiction and real life. Elizabeth II's limited time with her children is unfortunate, but she was busy ruling about 50 entire countries.
It was necessary. He had such a complex about having to give up his princely status as a young man that it drove his ambition. It got him back into Buckingham Palace, enough for him to feel emboldened to overstep the mark.

Claire Foy is absolutely fabulous in that scene where she perfectly confronts Edward's hideous past (his liason and plot with Hitler). Edward shrinks in shame in front of her. Beautifully acted by both. Riveting.
My favorite scenes from this series are of her father, KGVI. When he puts on that paper crown & joins the carolers, you feel the depth of his despair. The actor is marvelous but then so are they all.
I’m surprised. I did dream about this once and after this conversation, prince Philip just went off with me and I loved every minute. I loved Elizabeth and Prince Philip argued so much that he went off with me. This was one of my best dreams of 2021
@@nicolelawless3199…the creepiest para social comment I’ve ever read and I’ve seen a lot of weird ones. People really are mentally ill and unwell when it comes to famous people.. they really show just how weird they are. No wonder they have body guards to keep “fans” tf away from them and when they DO have to speak to them, they hate it. I wouldn’t want these obsessed creeps around me either.
The actresses they cast for this show is impeccable! I love this show because of the actresses who play the Queen. It is the only show I have been able to rewatch! ❤️
Olivia Colman was the best at telling people off as The Queen.. I remember watching the scene where she stared Harold Wilson down at 3:00 and it scared me so much that I looked away 😳😰 Great acting in this show.
I loved the scene where two heads of state were sent to her office and she dressed them down like an angry mother who caught her sons with their hands in the cookie jar! Definitely one of Claire Foy's best performances. I can't imagine any other actress playing the Queen so well.
I think some of my favorite scenes include her and Thatcher because of how strong and badass they both are. They clash wonderfully and it's just so entertaining to me.
But the whole point is that it was the truth, but not the WHOLE truth. And Elizabeth could not see the missing truth - Charles was emotionally crippled and deeply unhappy because his mother never loved him.
Hes a wonderful ecologist and environmentalist who advocates for protection of the planet, climate change reform, organic farming.. His charitable trust raises millions of dollars a year. You never hear any of this.... just that he was a bad husband, which of course he was.
I never expected to say this, I was never much of a Royalist, but I miss her. She was kind, had a huge heart and a hell of a sense of humour, and boy did she put in a shift for the country, right up to the day she died. Wherever she is now, hopefully with Philip, her father and everyone who loved her, I hope she's happy and can now rest after her decades with the weight of that crown. RIP Ma'am. We all will miss you and keep you in our hearts as the last of this country's real Royals. Charles is now king and I of course wish him well..... but you'll always be our true MONARCH.
Claire Foy was by far my favourite portrayal of the Queen. I was really disappointed when they recast her in season 3. I understand why they made the choice but I still think she could’ve been aged with make up and kept in the role for at least a few more seasons. My only complaint about the show in general is that they really don’t show Queen Elizabeth’s marvellous sense of humour and great comedic timing.
I so agree with so many of your comments. The actresses (and actors) in this series are outstanding. All are worthy of awards. As I remember being glued to the TV set when "The Tudors" were playing, I can watch "The Crown" over and over again and am amazed at the level of their performances. Claire Foy and Olivia Coleman are extraordinary and if I were King Charles, I would make them both Dames of Great Britain.
What about Queen Anne, the last Stuart monarch? Her connections with Catholics and Protestants and the royal families of Europe brought about peace and heralded in the Georgian era. She was recently portrayed in film as a neurotic woman keeping rabbits (both pure invention).
There's been 6 Queens of the UK/England, and you mentioned the 3 that weren't Queen by themselves from the cradle. Mary I, Mary II and Anne all were more guaranteed of their ascension. Elizabeth I was behind her brother in the succession, whilst being declared illegitimate as a child, and imprisoned by her sister. Victoria was 5th in line at her birth, behind 2 uncles, her father, and one cousin (the prince regent's daughter), and Elizabeth II was thrust as heir presumptive by the abdication crisis.
@@xolotlnephthys Actually..... *Elizabeth I was behind her half-brother and half-sister (Edward VI and Mary I). Mary imprisoned her in the Tower. *Victoria was not assured of the Crown. At birth, she was behind three uncles and only one legitimate cousin.
I first saw Claire Foy as Janet Armstrong in the movie "First Man", documenting Neal Armstrong's life. She was brilliant there and a dead-on double for Janet Armstrong. I had no idea after watching that movie twice, that she was English and speaks with an English accent. Then in seeing her as the young Queen Elizabeth in The Crown. WOW! I will be a Clarie Foy fan forever. She totally emasculated Phillip with her lines about the ballerina and Porchey.
The ballerina line was actually from Olivia Coleman's tenure in the role. I do prefer Claire Foy's portrayal over Olivia Coleman's, but the latter is still excellent. Foy went in to be in the "Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" reboot series, and that's quite a trip seeing her killer side. I'm going to have a hard time seeing Imelda Staunton in the role. It's hard to see her as anything other than Delores Umbridge, but maybe she'll surprise me. Elderly Elizabeth should just be Helen Mirren again as far as I'm concerned.
Yah, freaking superb and thanks for reminding me of where I last saw her, I was mulling, trying to find it, was it one of the war wives from "we were soldiers" or maybe another period piece from that era but I couldnt quite put my finger on it.
i was captured by her and made to feel very uncomfortable like heroes can do to you, when she played Erin in "the promise " ,which was riveting .by Peter Kosminsky Channel 4 The Promise - Cinema 2011trailer czcams.com/video/6oR4jtQGIYc/video.html & E1 The Promise Episode 1 czcams.com/video/dciKqsXQ89U/video.html
I am also a fan of Hugh Laurie. He is great as Dr. House and even the director of the first episodes was fooled and didn't know he was English when he heard him talking with cast members without faking the American accent.
the most outstanding demonstration of power is in self discipline, honor and self control, the queen is a master class in all. nowadays people lack of all of those things, instead they are easily influenced by anything, a rollercoaster of emotions, entitle, victims of everything and they call that empowered.
Her uncle, her son. They all caused problems for the very same reason. Love. The same thing that ruined monarchies for years. Love was the one thing that was a luxury for royals. And everytime one tried risking things for love it caused the royals endless problems. And I don't just mean the British royal family but every royal family that ever existed and fell from that power over the centuries. To this day love is the one thing capable of making people do crazy things. That's why so many royals couldn't have it.
Nah it wasn't just love on David's part despite what the show portrays. He wanted out and Wallis was his way out. He had every opportunity to keep Wallis as his mistress and marry someone else he would never had had to see except for political events. And he was weak. He had Nazi sympathies, when he was the Duke of Windsor, he and Wallis were meeting with Hitler and then he tried to be installed back in as the puppet king. He would have cowed to the Nazis and the monarchy would have fallen then. Charles may have caused a scandal by getting back together with his girlfriend while still married but he never walked away from his duty and never acted the way he does in the show. The show is 90 percent garbage.
... silly me thought it was because they had a s e x addiction and could not keep Mr. Johnson indoors! Mountbatten did love his lady but he was one of the few . Charles. well, he has never impressed me with anything he has done or said. I truly hope he is better with age and will give at least a quarter or half of the dignity the position requires.
the casting and preparation for the roles in this show has been nothing short of fantastic. yes there may be an element of creative license taken with some character elements, but especially those playing the Queen and Prince Philip were fantastic. i was so impressed with this show.
So much to love about the series, but probably my favorite is the use of the English language. Lines given to Pip Torrens as Tommy Lascelles were especially scathing! Always love Pip Torrens, though.
"- And if one day you expect to be King... - I do. - Then might I suggest you start behaving like one!" I guess he didn't start behaving like one and that's why she's going to outlive him - no way she about let him tarnish her life's work.
At the time of writing this 103 people have displayed their ignorance. It is natural for a king to marry for an heir but to have a mistress for love, often a mistress who is another's wife. Those kings that have failed in this regard tend to be the ones who have failed most spectacularly in their royal duties such as Charles 1, Louis XIV and Nicholas II. The line should be considered ironic, and perhaps stems from her education as much as her fathers determination to portray the Family as one.
She has incredible eyes. Great eyes, not only just beautiful, but eyes that can speak full, passionate, and heart-wrenching words with just a look. That's my favorite thing about Claire.
I was whining to myself about all the problems I had encountered in the past few months. I must say that the Queen's last chastening straightened me up quite a bit. Quite a performance.
go Lizzie, go Lizzie, go Lizzie. *queen* in every sense of the word 👑👑👑 glad/hope she saw this, and approved, before she passed. grateful to have grown up in a world with such a strong woman leader, who dedicated herself, her life, to her duty
I think we all just heard the news.
R.I.P Queen Elizabeth II
She fulfilled her duty brilliantly but I fear the monarchy will not survive without her.
Heard it from my Art teacher in class and this is exactly what happened: Oh the queen just died... The class: Why did you say it so calmly?
Yes... She made full of her vow,
"i will dedicate my entire life, whatever it is long or short, to serving people "
May she rest in peace. Long live the king.

You forgot the famous "For better or for worst, the crown has landed on my head. And I say we go"
When she asked Philip if he could say that she was the only person that he had ever loved, and he just stood there and said nothing...😭💔💔💔
I’m surprised. I did dream about this once and after this conversation, prince Philip just went off with me and I loved every minute. I loved Elizabeth and Prince Philip argued so much that he went off with me. This was one of my best dreams of 2021

@@nicolelawless3199…the creepiest para social comment I’ve ever read and I’ve seen a lot of weird ones.
People really are mentally ill and unwell when it comes to famous people.. they really show just how weird they are. No wonder they have body guards to keep “fans” tf away from them and when they DO have to speak to them, they hate it. I wouldn’t want these obsessed creeps around me either.
Oh man, I never in my 53 years ever cared for the royals, but this is by far one of the best shows I have ever watched...in 53 years!!!!
The actresses they cast for this show is impeccable! I love this show because of the actresses who play the Queen. It is the only show I have been able to rewatch! ❤️
that’s first scene had me kicking my feet and giggling. she girlbossed so incredibly close to the sun with that one.
The last clip sealed Olivia's Emmy Best Actress award.
Olivia Colman was the best at telling people off as The Queen.. I remember watching the scene where she stared Harold Wilson down at 3:00 and it scared me so much that I looked away 😳😰 Great acting in this show.
And when she told off Margaret Thatcher as well.
I’m good at telling others off. Everyone got scared of me as I grieved for Prince Philip last year because they know not to mention him in front of me
I thought both Foy and Colman were excellent. Haven't seen Prof. Umbrage as The Queen yet.
@@rosc2022 I’m excited to see this season with her as Queen. I hope she’s as good as the last two.
@@rosc2022 who
I LOVE CLAIRE AND SHE WAS SO GORGEOUS IN THE CROWN
I loved the scene where two heads of state were sent to her office and she dressed them down like an angry mother who caught her sons with their hands in the cookie jar! Definitely one of Claire Foy's best performances. I can't imagine any other actress playing the Queen so well.
Hoooooly craaaap, the Tomahawk... I believe she missed on purpose!
The Queen yelling at charles...thats so powerful
"and might I suggest you start to behave like one!"
Can't wait to use that line.
I think some of my favorite scenes include her and Thatcher because of how strong and badass they both are. They clash wonderfully and it's just so entertaining to me.
Her in the end throwing truths in Charles' face about him and also Diana is something that many were "stuck" to say.
But the whole point is that it was the truth, but not the WHOLE truth. And Elizabeth could not see the missing truth - Charles was emotionally crippled and deeply unhappy because his mother never loved him.
This show likes to portray Charles as such a craven, self absorbed, overcooked porridge.
That is genuinely one side of him. It's not all he is. But it's definitely a part of what he is.
Well when the whole nation thinks hes nothing but a wanker.
@@thevampirecielphantomhive2342 well...he is
Hes a wonderful ecologist and environmentalist who advocates for protection of the planet, climate change reform, organic farming.. His charitable trust raises millions of dollars a year. You never hear any of this.... just that he was a bad husband, which of course he was.
i foudn also some aspergen like traits
She is a force to be reckoned with.
The truth about the queen
czcams.com/video/fgY7STJkmRI/video.html
She pretty much told her uncle “Screw you.” I just love the fierce and determined look in her eyes
Honestly I think everyone wanted to say that considering everything in both IRL and the show he did.
8:25 the moment when the Queen took the long-life potion
Lmao
"I'm about to end this man's whole career!"
I never expected to say this, I was never much of a Royalist, but I miss her. She was kind, had a huge heart and a hell of a sense of humour, and boy did she put in a shift for the country, right up to the day she died. Wherever she is now, hopefully with Philip, her father and everyone who loved her, I hope she's happy and can now rest after her decades with the weight of that crown.
RIP Ma'am. We all will miss you and keep you in our hearts as the last of this country's real Royals. Charles is now king and I of course wish him well..... but you'll always be our true MONARCH.
Claire Foy was by far my favourite portrayal of the Queen. I was really disappointed when they recast her in season 3. I understand why they made the choice but I still think she could’ve been aged with make up and kept in the role for at least a few more seasons.
My only complaint about the show in general is that they really don’t show Queen Elizabeth’s marvellous sense of humour and great comedic timing.
The way she rips into Philip 😂😂 I love the crown so much 🤗
“On our feet keep it brief” I’m using that shit from now on
Claire Foy and Olivia Colman played ERII really well. Must be a lot of pressure to the next actress playing HMTQ.
I doubt it. It's Imelda Staunton. She's a goddess and will nail the final two seasons.
@@xxwhispersxx2856 Do you know when will the new series be released?
That row with Phillip is just precious. 😆
Foy killed it. Period.
I so agree with so many of your comments. The actresses (and actors) in this series are outstanding. All are worthy of awards. As I remember being glued to the TV set when "The Tudors" were playing, I can watch "The Crown" over and over again and am amazed at the level of their performances. Claire Foy and Olivia Coleman are extraordinary and if I were King Charles, I would make them both Dames of Great Britain.
Elizabeth I, Victoria, Elizabeth II , greats Queens; because they were Queen by themselves from the cradle.
👏👏👏👏👏👏♥️❤️🍀🌹
Why do you have a shamrock there?
Elizabeth I was not intended to become queen, though. Neither was Elizabeth II.
What about Queen Anne, the last Stuart monarch? Her connections with Catholics and Protestants and the royal families of Europe brought about peace and heralded in the Georgian era. She was recently portrayed in film as a neurotic woman keeping rabbits (both pure invention).
There's been 6 Queens of the UK/England, and you mentioned the 3 that weren't Queen by themselves from the cradle. Mary I, Mary II and Anne all were more guaranteed of their ascension. Elizabeth I was behind her brother in the succession, whilst being declared illegitimate as a child, and imprisoned by her sister. Victoria was 5th in line at her birth, behind 2 uncles, her father, and one cousin (the prince regent's daughter), and Elizabeth II was thrust as heir presumptive by the abdication crisis.
@@xolotlnephthys Actually.....
*Elizabeth I was behind her half-brother and half-sister (Edward VI and Mary I). Mary imprisoned her in the Tower.
*Victoria was not assured of the Crown. At birth, she was behind three uncles and only one legitimate cousin.
I first saw Claire Foy as Janet Armstrong in the movie "First Man", documenting Neal Armstrong's life. She was brilliant there and a dead-on double for Janet Armstrong. I had no idea after watching that movie twice, that she was English and speaks with an English accent. Then in seeing her as the young Queen Elizabeth in The Crown. WOW! I will be a Clarie Foy fan forever. She totally emasculated Phillip with her lines about the ballerina and Porchey.
Go watch Little Dorrit. She is amazing in that.
The ballerina line was actually from Olivia Coleman's tenure in the role. I do prefer Claire Foy's portrayal over Olivia Coleman's, but the latter is still excellent. Foy went in to be in the "Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" reboot series, and that's quite a trip seeing her killer side. I'm going to have a hard time seeing Imelda Staunton in the role. It's hard to see her as anything other than Delores Umbridge, but maybe she'll surprise me. Elderly Elizabeth should just be Helen Mirren again as far as I'm concerned.
Yah, freaking superb and thanks for reminding me of where I last saw her, I was mulling, trying to find it, was it one of the war wives from "we were soldiers" or maybe another period piece from that era but I couldnt quite put my finger on it.
i was captured by her and made to feel very uncomfortable like heroes can do to you, when she played Erin in "the promise " ,which was riveting .by Peter Kosminsky Channel 4 The Promise - Cinema 2011trailer czcams.com/video/6oR4jtQGIYc/video.html & E1 The Promise Episode 1 czcams.com/video/dciKqsXQ89U/video.html
I am also a fan of Hugh Laurie. He is great as Dr. House and even the director of the first episodes was fooled and didn't know he was English when he heard him talking with cast members without faking the American accent.
I love Irish, Scottish, and Briton accents, they sound so proper and neat. The actors are doing an amazing job speaking as royals.
That speech she gave Charles at the end...even I felt scolded 😳😳👍🏻👌🏻
I wonder if The Bell was given a nick name by the Household.
That's a nice thought
8:12 it's at this point she decided she would live forever so he'd never be king lmao
"Those things will killed you"...Philip lived until his 99th birthday💀 hahahaha
JAJAJAJAJA yeah but I think he really quit that habit and it is kinda weird because he always wanted to be fitness like in shape and healthy
She smoked as well. She just did it in private.
0:38 The way she pauses and stares at him like "The audacity of this b*tch"... and the stands up and proceeds to destroy him. Brilliant!
I just love the calmness yet fierceness of the Thatcher vs Queen Elizabeth II conversations
That first scene she just rips his still beating heart out lmao. Like gtfo uncle your a joke
He sided with the Nazis, he deserved what he got.
the most outstanding demonstration of power is in self discipline, honor and self control, the queen is a master class in all.
nowadays people lack of all of those things, instead they are easily influenced by anything, a rollercoaster of emotions, entitle, victims of everything and they call that empowered.
Imagine challenging a woman who passed through WW2, served in Army as mechanic and passed through alot of prime minister. 😀
At 3:30 I was expecting the "Tribal leader in eccentric costume" bit.
Another fan of The Audience!
The Crown has such amazing actors and a very good script.
Olivia Coleman sets him straight in his place. Charles is portrayed as such a petulant child.
Her uncle, her son. They all caused problems for the very same reason. Love. The same thing that ruined monarchies for years. Love was the one thing that was a luxury for royals. And everytime one tried risking things for love it caused the royals endless problems. And I don't just mean the British royal family but every royal family that ever existed and fell from that power over the centuries. To this day love is the one thing capable of making people do crazy things. That's why so many royals couldn't have it.
Nah it wasn't just love on David's part despite what the show portrays. He wanted out and Wallis was his way out.
He had every opportunity to keep Wallis as his mistress and marry someone else he would never had had to see except for political events. And he was weak. He had Nazi sympathies, when he was the Duke of Windsor, he and Wallis were meeting with Hitler and then he tried to be installed back in as the puppet king. He would have cowed to the Nazis and the monarchy would have fallen then.
Charles may have caused a scandal by getting back together with his girlfriend while still married but he never walked away from his duty and never acted the way he does in the show. The show is 90 percent garbage.
"Love is the death of duty"
And now his grandson
@@aulian4338
Harry and that darn Meghan. I hope they don’t cause the Queens death anytime soon because they did it to Prince Philip last time
... silly me thought it was because they had a s e x addiction and could not keep Mr. Johnson indoors! Mountbatten did love his lady but he was one of the few . Charles. well, he has never impressed me with anything he has done or said. I truly hope he is better with age and will give at least a quarter or half of the dignity the position requires.
6:00 That was a really low blow. I can't believe he would say something like that, disrespecting her father, when he mourned him with her.
The bit at the end with Prince Charles was on the mark. Its a pity he failed to take his mother's advice.
claire foy gave one of, if not the finest performances of television in this century
Out of everyone who’s played the queen, I think Claire Foy was outstanding!
Rest in peace your Majesy, queen Elizabeth II. A headstrong leader that embodied the 20th century.
When the prince's mother said, "What are you doing here?" that was his cue to leave.
She was the badass throughout the whole 70 years… RIP Elizabeth Regina…
the casting and preparation for the roles in this show has been nothing short of fantastic. yes there may be an element of creative license taken with some character elements, but especially those playing the Queen and Prince Philip were fantastic. i was so impressed with this show.
So much to love about the series, but probably my favorite is the use of the English language. Lines given to Pip Torrens as Tommy Lascelles were especially scathing! Always love Pip Torrens, though.
Hi 👋 Diana, how are you doing?
When she chased him and threw the glass at him... amazing
"- And if one day you expect to be King...
- I do.
- Then might I suggest you start behaving like one!"
I guess he didn't start behaving like one and that's why she's going to outlive him - no way she about let him tarnish her life's work.
At the time of writing this 103 people have displayed their ignorance. It is natural for a king to marry for an heir but to have a mistress for love, often a mistress who is another's wife. Those kings that have failed in this regard tend to be the ones who have failed most spectacularly in their royal duties such as Charles 1, Louis XIV and Nicholas II. The line should be considered ironic, and perhaps stems from her education as much as her fathers determination to portray the Family as one.
@@baronburch6702 well it was the 80s/90s, not 1800
I swore this was the case - she was going to outlive him to spite him
0:38 The " you are fucking dead " stare is badass aff
She has incredible eyes. Great eyes, not only just beautiful, but eyes that can speak full, passionate, and heart-wrenching words with just a look. That's my favorite thing about Claire.
Yes, the same with Vanessa Kirby, the eyes have it.
I was whining to myself about all the problems I had encountered in the past few months. I must say that the Queen's last chastening straightened me up quite a bit. Quite a performance.
1:57 "Burn Philip, Burn!" 🔥😂😂😂
Hun, she's been doing it for longer than most of us have been alive. Still love the sentiment of this video. Long live the Queen.
i just love this scene @6:31. when he saw that she reached for a glass he ducked so quickly and ran for his life.
This show is a masterpiece. My grandma is from Trinidad so a huge monarchist and got me into it and can’t thank her enough.
go Lizzie, go Lizzie, go Lizzie. *queen* in every sense of the word 👑👑👑 glad/hope she saw this, and approved, before she passed. grateful to have grown up in a world with such a strong woman leader, who dedicated herself, her life, to her duty
She was not badass for few minutes, she is untill all the years of her reign.
God bless your Majesty.
Love her to bits can’t believe we’ve lost her.
