The scene during the wedding of princess elizabeth and prince philip, princess alice wore her nun dress, and looks very frail… but in the real life, princess alice wore an appropriate dress for the wedding not as a nun, and princess alice never was that frail looking… despite her disability she was a formidable woman, its nice to see that they corrected it in season 3 when jane lapotaire played princes alice.
However, she was in her nun dress at Elizabeth’s coronation, which looked way more dramatic and a lot better, it’s like God actually sent a messenger to this divine occasion.
4:10 Queen Elizabeth II had a lot of classes with the finest tutors in constitutional law, history etc. She didn't go to school or college though which means that she didn't get to interact with ordinary girls from different classes. That is one reason she agreed to send her children to school. Unfoetunately Charles and Gordonstoun were not a good match.
Finest tutors? They were at Eton! If they’d been any good, they’d have been at OxBridge. Phillip chose Gordonstoun, his own alma mater, not Elizabeth. She had uniforms made for Eton, he was enrolled and all, and then Phillip scotches it. Poor Charles, his mother was weak and his father a bully. And boy, have we witnessed the impacts. The nobility are so dysfunctional they make the Murdochs look better.
Well at some point she could get over it and take some responsibility….. David didn’t shove the smokes in Bertie’s mouth….. stressful times yes but some healthier choices could have gone a long way….. plus locking up her sick nieces and still blaming David….. yeah no.
She was angry at David because thanks to him abdicating the burden of being king was now on Albert, and saw him as a weak man who betrayed their country just for an American socialite, also, David disrespected her and her daughters.
I just realized I’ve seen both Olivia Colman and Helena Bonham Carter, play the Queen mum before, Helena Bonham Carter in The King’s Speech and Olivia Colman in Hyde Park on Hudson, in that Samuel West, the actor who portrayed Sir Anthony Blunt played George VI.
@@carson11100 i can tolerate that, maybe its because she have trauma..but for margaret, she's really really really a cruel mother..she did it the same to charles, i know she love charles more than the other of the royal family..but she made charles and diana married unhappily because of her selfish behavior..and because of her selfish behavior too charles and camilla are now hated by many people..
@@SymphonyBrahms i researched it a while back n read somewhere she made some servants run around for entertainment? i can't remember it exactly, it's been forever since i read it i tried finding their sources too but they just claimed it's from some journal or something if you got anything describing how she was irl I'd really want to read it, cuz i couldn't figure out why they made her seem so evil in the show
Maybe the woman was nothing like the character portrayed, but in this series she's portrayed as THE WORST!! I dislike her so much that I grew fond of calling her Cookie! 😊
Ok so we have Anne Boleyn talking to Queen Victoria, then Queen Victoria talking to Elizabeth II, Jane Grey coming in an Anne Boleyn Costume to yell at everyone!!!
It's honestly really sad that she was written as cold-hearted, considering how she was actually quite a remarkable woman. She was very ahead of the time on many issues. Examples including, when a Conservative minister told her not to employ a homosexual for service, she said, "we'll have to serve ourselves then". And when someone said racist remarks about the Commonwealth in that - "they're nothing like us", she said "I'm very keen on them. They're all like us".
I understand that most of her male servants were gay. She like being around gay men. On one occasion her bedtime toddy was late coming from the kitchen. So she phoned down and said, "Would one of you old queens bring this old queen her toddy?"
HM Queen Elizabeth Bowes Lyon says about Prince Philip mother Queen Alice she was in sanitorium so Prince Philip and his dad family must know King Kalayavana Greek King after all they Greeks
Prince Moritz of Hesse? Prince Christian of Hannover? I wonder why the fictional Queen Mother here was pushing German ex-princes? I understood that the Queen Mother disliked the idea of a foreign prince, especially German princes, for her daughters.
The British family as it exists now are more German than they are native Britons. It’s been like that since the end of the Stuart monarchs. After Queen Anne died with no heirs the closest heir was a succession of German princes, the house of Hanover were entirely German some “English” kings couldn’t even speak English because they were raised in Germany. I think it was king George the third (the mad one) who was the first of these German kings to speak proper English. And even after integrating into the English monarchy, they still married German princes to maintain land holdings both in England and in Germany considering at this time the three George’s were both king of Britain, Scotland, Ireland, Wales, and holy Roman emperor and prince elector of Hanover. Even Queen Victoria’s husband Albert was a German. And the Battenburgs or Mountbattens (prince Phillip’s side of the family) are German.
@@henrylivingstone2971 actually they're more Danish. Prince Phillip's father's family were Danish (hence why he was a Prince Of Greece & Denmark) and Queen Alexandria, Queen Elizabeth II's great-grandmother and wife of King Edward VII was Danish too. While there is plenty of German heritage, the more recent generations of the royal family have Danish or British ancestry.
@@Myne1001 They might’ve been the ruling families of Denmark and Greece but they weren’t ethnic Danes. Phillip’s father, Prince Andrew, was from the House of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg a collateral German branch of the house of Oldenburg. The House of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg whilst rulers of Denmark since 1448 were still Germans and they kept it that way considering they mainly married with other German families like the Hesse, Kessel, Battenburgs, and Saxe Coburg Gotha. So while they are “Danish” in name they are not ethnic Danes, they’re almost all Germans.
Artistic license, I think. Or simply just for the sake of variety. :) The Queen Mother was amply praised in all her life and well after that for being a truly magnificent lady. The writer might have thought that in stead of the adulation he can show the world some shady aspects of her long life. And I think that form a purely dramaturgical point of view the creators of the show might have decided that the Crown cannot have more than one principal figure, and that must be the Queen alone, undoubtedly. Therefore it was necessary to dial down the Queen Mother's real influence and role in the story, and they've sacrificed the accuracy for the sake of entertaining.
@@westminsterwatcher5152 I believe we all have good and bad sides. For some reason the show tended to only show her sides which maybe were not the best. But maybe that did that for entertainment
@@KingJackson11355 Yeah, she was multi-faceted and that was reflected in the show. Yes she could be exceptionally unkind, but we did see some soft moments, an example being when she's trying to buy the Castle of Mey and the man didn't recognise her, allowing her to avoid the stuffy protocol. She was also exceedingly bitter - but that is understandable - she'd lost her husband and blamed the Duke and Duchess of Windsor. Was that legitimate? In some ways yes. George VI wasn't a natural King. He was shy. Nervous. His smoking habit didn't help but the pressures placed on him by his cowardly brother had an impact. It took its toll and claimed his life. Queen Mother was inconsolable. She was also exceedingly ruthless. Yet the show was brilliant in highlighting her many characteristics. Writing was superb, however embellished it might have been.
The Angrezi which means English people watch Coronation St and Eastenders but I really liked Britain bloody crown it was really wonderful in the series you hear the wonderful music and please bring back the good old movies really wonderful
And she would have had no business in interfering with either marriage. I don't like Camilla. But I do like Meghan. And both Charles and Harry have the right to marry who they want.
This series is far from true. It is a huge fiction through and through. The Queen Mother was a kind, considerate, intelligent person. She was nothing like she is portrayed here.
“I’ll tell you yours if you ask nicely”
“No thank you”
“…… *Shirley Temple* “ - couldn’t fkn help herself could she 🤣🤣

I’ll never understand why they did that. It’s well documented how she actually dressed.

Her responses always cracked me up, especially in the first 2 seasons.
Elizabeth inherited her longevity, Margaret her alcoholism.
Rude? She’s written here as determined to hurt.
She’s a terrible character…… rude, snobbish, vindictive, arrogant and ignorant.
She's not a good mother for Margaret
@@duchessofcornwall8598 what I hate the most is how she blames every problem the family suffers on the abdication…..

@@duchessofcornwall8598 well once she justified locking up her sick nieces as a result of the abdication that was absolutely crossing the line!
I don’t know why they made the queen mother seem mean in the show but in real life she seemed nice
Right or wrong she was a remarkable strong and self assured woman who was able to navigate any storm
Nasty wench!
Queen Elizabeth, The Queen Mother was once called 'The most dangerous woman in Europe' by Adolf Hitler. 😁
So many great scenes and performances in this series.
Gosh, the small pause here is so funny 01:34
How both the Queen Mother and Queen Mary all refers Edward VIII as monster and never forgive him until Edward VIII death or Queen Mary and QM death.
Victoria Hamilton plays two greatest Queens: Queen Victoria and the Queen Mum, Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon
Isn’t she the best. I loved her from the 1990s BBC version of Persuasion
This Queen mother actress was the best. Queen Mother actress in season 3-4 was dull and forgettable
Like her character. Acting A+.
Amen!!!!!! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!! Hallelujah!!! Hallelujah!!!! Hallelujah!!!!! Hallelujah!!!!!!🙏🏽🙌🏽✝️❤️
She needs to shine that one - that scene, was so good. I thought Queen mother was amazing and so right in this scene.
I like her so much!
The queen mother is my favorite 😻 if only she wasn’t taken from us prematurely at the age of 101.
She was very special lady. I wonder if the current queen can pass her mothers age. EDIT Dam. Rest In Peace queen and queen mother ❤️
@@KingJackson11355 that really didn't age well lol
@@EternalPayne Why is that funny?
You are an idiot😂😂😂😂

I always felt there was a bit of directed anger towards Elizabeth when revealing that the former king referred to her as Shirley Temple
No one can beat Sylvia Syms' portrayal of The Queen Mother from The Queen (2006). May God bless her soul.
Yes expect the queen mother wasn’t that big
Yes indeed! She was my favorite too! The actress who played the Queen Mother during seasons 3-4 was very good too.
@@timbredan3476well she did get pretty big the last 20 years or so of her life
Maybe the woman was nothing like the character portrayed, but in this series she's portrayed as THE WORST!! I dislike her so much that I grew fond of calling her Cookie! 😊
I admit I don't much like her either
Not so much rude but controlling and not overly smart. The Queen got 20 years of freedom from her mother, Charles too, but Margaret never did.
Wow. Seems The Crown is showing The Queen Mothers darkside and snobbery.
Ok so we have Anne Boleyn talking to Queen Victoria, then Queen Victoria talking to Elizabeth II, Jane Grey coming in an Anne Boleyn Costume to yell at everyone!!!
I believe that it's an accurate portrayal. She was a mean old crow.

Those who lived when she was alive know how true it was. Gin sizzled old snob.
She was a loving mother that’s why it’s so odd that the Queen was so cold towards hers.
I understand that most of her male servants were gay. She like being around gay men. On one occasion her bedtime toddy was late coming from the kitchen. So she phoned down and said, "Would one of you old queens bring this old queen her toddy?"
@@lizziebkennedy7505 Diana's mother referred to her as an "old bitch".
“The Beast of Glams” is the title the Scottish peoples gave her.
i tried looking it up but only found "The Best of Glamis" which is a ghost that haunts a castle
mind giving me a source?
Not true. It actually relates to a myth about a monster once hidden away in a chamber at Glamis Castle.
3:15 “………”
Good
That’s almost every scene where Queen Mother had a line I can remember in the series.
It forgot her most powerful monologue of all. Season 2 Episode 5: Marionettes (her speech at the end should’ve won her awards it was so good)
@@jayjayhibbs that would be 10:51
Evita Peron hated played our Faye Dunaway HM Elizabeth Bowes Lyon because the English always treat Argentina like Colony
Perfidious

Far away the land of your birth
i know this is a tv show and probably not how things really happened but for someone who was queen she didnt put these people in their place enough.
HM the Monarch Elizabeth Bowes Lyon was a very stubborn and did she knew everything about Foreigners
What is this saying born in different land and die in different land
If the queen mother could see her great grandson now!!!! Same as his great uncle!!!
I know...another troubled American divorcee...sigh
Oh please
Er, not a monarch dear. Big difference.
Not the same at all. Harry is a good person and so is Meghan. Your hatred of them is cruel and shows how mean you are.
