      What strikes me the most about that isn't just taking a private moment to mourn the king, but probably also sitting with the knowledge that for just a few moments, he's the only one in the world who knows the king has died. The moment he leaves the room everything will change.

      What I see in the series it seems that this moment Margaret realizes that it "could have been" herself the one with the burden of being Queen if not for having an elder sister, Elizabeth, whom now must carry the Crown, leading to a complete change of events toward her own life going forward. Her sister is no longer her sister. They are no longer young adults. They are no longer Princesses.. They are Queen and subject. That moment of realization, the loss of TWO family members in a snap must really do a person in.

      @lesleyschultz6846 Před 7 měsíci +20

      I understand that Princess Margaret was very close to her father, in a different way than her sister was. It was truly devastating when she lost her father, really hit her very hard. It was Peter Townsend who was able to be of most comfort to her at that time, since Peter had been one of the late King's equrries, and was also close to King George. Knowing that ultimately, although Margaret fell in love with Peter and he loved her also, they would not be permitted to marry. Peter was divorced and this was not okay in royal circles. Of course now, 80 years later, most of the late Queen's children have divorced (including the present King) and no one would think twice about letting a secondary heir marry whom they want to. But let's take a look at this. Andrew married Fergie and they should never have married. That marriage failed because Andrew was gone most of the time and Fergie wouldn't sacrifice her happiness and be faithful to Andrew. Harry married Meghan and well how's that working out for the Monarchy these days. I think if the last couple of generations of the British monarchy have taught us anything it's that it's admired less when they seem more like us than people one would want look up to.

      She outlived the three children perhaps most beloved to her. George was her favorite son and she was devastated at his death. She grew closer to Albert George when he married and she often visited the York sisters and especially when he became king and she was his support. I cannot imagine outliving one child let alone three where two of them were adults.

      Hiring from local areas may very well be the hiring criteria used by that organisation.
      Also to answer your original question, I did a little reading on the topic. With the death of QE, Charles took over all of her staff and then there was a 6 month grace period while they tried to relocate anybody who had been made redundant due to duplicate positions. That might give you some insight in how they handled the staff after King George's death.@@silenusut

      Your comment reminded me of the death of my brother in 2014. There had been been many people in the hospital room in the evening. That afternoon I'd told my brother when we were alone for a time that if he saw Jesus or our mother to go to them, that he didn't have stay, to let go. My brother's heart gradually slowed when he was alone(just periodic checks from the night nurses) and stopped at 3:30 in the morning. I think my brother needed the privacy and quiet so he could relax and let go of the world.

    As per the official account, the Queen Consort Elizabeth's initial reaction to her husband's overnight death was to say 'Lilibet must be told at once. THE QUEEN must be told at once!'
    However, the new Queen Mother seemed to hold it together at that time. Though she'd later admit to a friend who said she'd held up 'remarkably well'. 'Only in public, my dear. In private, it's a very different story!'
    Princess Margaret was the one member of the family in England known to have immediately collapsed into grief (and, evidently, her last words 50 years later at age 71 were 'Dear Papa!).
    Queen Mary's immediate reaction wasn't recorded but her relative Prince Axel of Denmark saw her later that day and said she seemed a bit puzzled and resigned that her 2nd born son's passing was her '3rd son to die unexpectedly' [her youngest Prince John of Great Britain died after an epileptic seizure at age 13 in 1919, her 2nd youngest son George, Duke of Kent was killed in a plane crash at age 39 in 1942].
    Prime Minister Churchill's depicted reaction seems actually less dramatic than the recorded one, in which he was told the news while having breakfast in bed while working on zillions of papers and forms strewn over the covers before getting up and getting dressed: He immediately swept ALL the food and papers off the bed saying that all that stuff was 'unimportant' compared to the King's death AND it was the worst news because the new monarch was 'a child' who he didn't know [neither was entirely true at the time - though he quickly changed his tune and became a very ardent early admirer]!

      Only to an extent. The Queen was 96 and had been known to be gravely ill for some time, while if this is accurate the extent of George's illness (he was only 56) had been kept from his family.
