The Queen & Her Prime Ministers | The Crown | Netflix

With the Commonwealth irrevocably changed, Queen Elizabeth II reflects on her life and legacy, and paves the way for her successors Charles and William. - Zábava
I was really impressed by Jason Watkins as Harold Wilson. A PM often forgotten and rarely fictionalised - an impressive performance capturing his demeanour 👍🏼
Whats your thoughts on him
@@sglenny001 A good man and an okay prime minister who had the job at a very difficult time.
When Sir Churchill kissed her forehead. The Crown really gave us goosebump moments... Albeit fictionalised.
Gillian Anderson really got Thatcher's mannerisms down cold, she seemed like the real deal. You couldn't help but pity her after her disastrous visit to Balmoral.
She's a brilliant actress
She was trying so hard for the voice , that she made Thatcher into a caricature. Worse , she slowed her voice down Unnaturally. Steve Nallon from Spitting Image would have done better
Anderson's performance as Thatcher was actually really bad. Really bad. Which is odd because I think she must be a good actress. But the voice, the mannerism, the gestures... she portrayed it as she probably would have been like a few months before she passed away lol. It felt like a deliberate, over the top caricature.
@frname7665 I agree in terms of her being portrayed as more of an older Thatcher, although I've always though Gillian Anderson is an incredibly talented and versatile actor and she still did an excellent job. It may be that she was specifically asked to portray her in that manner throughout. I do think she was more energetic in the early episodes and portrayed a more worn-down Thatcher in the final episode.
@@davidostrowski679 Clearly if the character wasn't Thatcher I would have thought her performance remarkable. She is clearly skilled. But yeah the portrayal was absolutely off.
In present day.
From Winston Churchill to Liz Truss.
When Elizabeth II became Queen her first Prime Minister is male. When Charles III became King his first Prime Minister is female.
Winston and Truss are 100 years apart in age
LOL@@Jake.gr2
S3 is my favorite season by far. It has the best PM and Aberfan the best episode of them all. Plus Wilson singing the raunchy limerick to the queen might be my favorite scene
Lithgow deserves an Oscar.what an incredibly nuanced performance.
Shows don't get oscars
Tv shows don’t get Oscar’s
He won an Emmy for his performance! Well deserved!!
What let me down mostly the last two seasons is the lack of focus on the Crown itself and proper portrayal of the PMs. Early seasons let them have their own episodes and the final season barely let them on screen.
I agree...I think the Crown was at its best depicting the political issues of each generation and the various issues facing Elizabeth during her long years of rule...but all that took a backseat once they reached the Diana part of the story haha :l
Exactly, the thing I loved about The Crown was it's portrayal of British politics. Season 2- Season 4 were splendid. I think that is what made the show interesting and added depth and complexity to it- the portrayal of the monarchy in the larger backdrop of the country's politics. Season 5 was fine & 6 took a huge backseat, it focussed too much on Diana and young William and Kate's relationship. It didn't maintain the balance between politics and the personal lives of the Royal Family members in the manner that the previous seasons did.
My favourite (in the show) was Harold Wilson, I don't know if he was a good Prime Minister in real life, but at least the character seemed clever, cautious and almost wise
Same..
He was. He and Attlee are the best post war pms of UK.
@@zelingkobest pms ever
his only big mistakes were:
- Sending the paras into Ireland (though in fairness I doubt he knew how it would turn out)
- Devaluing the £ (though again he didn't have much choice)
Ik he gets no love in real life and on the crown but I really like the one scene with Edward Heath speaking to the guy who wants to miners on strike to be heard. Heath’s speech about his back ground is great
Loved their portrayals of Lord Hume and Sunny Jim Callaghan
My favorite moments of every Prime Ministers
- Winston Churchill (I also like his "prominent Nazis!" line until one of the choirboys shut him up)
- Harold Wilson (his delivery of Princess Margaret and LBJ's vulgar limmericks to the Queen)
- Margaret Thatcher (her "ibble dibble" scene)
- John Major (his face during the "Tampongate" scene like he was in a state of WTF)
- Tony Blair (his coronation scene)
harold wilson just reaches me in a loving way
1 Queen And Many PM's So much high and lows for PM But Nearly Decades She Rules ✨❤️
I'm glad they showed what a rockstar Tony was
Then at end she had Liz truss and a lettuce and the lettuce was more effective ..and HM still
Kept her promise right to the end still dignified …the government wouldn’t know efficient if it ran itself over
Missed out the excellent actor who played Ted Heath - was in the same class at school as my Grandad!
Thats cool
Ted Heath, that is, not the actor! @@sglenny001
The Queen liked her first Labour Pm , Mr Wilson
I thought the choral rendition of Things Can Only Get Better was brilliantly funny 👏🏼
Poor Heath. Left out haha.
Two best played roles in "The Crown" are Winston Churchill and Margaret Thatcher.
Outstanding mind-blowing superb acting by Claire foy she's the real life Queen 👑 of art and expression.. Matt Smith and Vanessa kirby are just wow and so good in their character of prince Philip and princess Margaret... Please some one gave three of them an Oscar 💯💯💯🎯🎯🎯
Really well done!
Please make that 3 institutions; Crown, Government and most importantly, PEOPLE!
I envied the Queen for the chance to see Anthony Eden, to talk to him, my God was he handsome..
If i could bring back one person back to life that would be Eden for sure.❤
now that was a series.
Didn't even bother doing Douglas-Home or Callaghan
Churchill was always her number 1
,,,Electored Quitters, Elizabeth said the truth, for AUSTRALIA, ALSO
Australia could've done well without the royals quite frankly. Don't forget the British Empire used Australia as a prison island sending desperate poor people (convicts) that stole loaves of bread to try to survive because the monarchy had all the wealth. Not to mention they attempted genocide of the original Australians.
No Jim Callaghan??
And tony aka Anthony Armstrong character was awesome 👍
Had a disadvantage of being very recent to compare to the real thing. And Michael Sheen of course. Jonny Lee Miller brought some colour to Major
Elizabeth II was a cool and dignified customer
The Duke and Duchess of Windsor, the one who ABDICATED, would make a great Series
❤
There already is one. It`s called Edward and Mrs Simpson.
Wish the last two seasons had spent less time being the Diana Show and more time on the PMs and the queen. More politics, less Diana ghosts.
Nikolai Lantsov and his General Zoya Nazyalensky
Hoping Netflix would make The Crown but set during Queen Victoria's reign.
Was there no Jim Callaghan in the Crown series?
Imagine Boris Johnson and Liz Truss were in the last season as well
Elizabeth: I'm dying and I feel pity for you. Deal with it losers
Ah yes the two worst prime ministers of the past 50 years after thatcher of course
We are waiting for Rishi Sunak
Why didn't she meet the prime ministers of Scotland or Wales?
The Tony Blair coronation scene was heavily crticised
No Edward Heath?
I think there was a v brief clip of him
Thought they did Blair dirty
He’s portrayed fairly positively he is not?
She has 1/6/of her pm on her last years
Someone is missing here?😮
Boris Johnson?
@@Allen2024 no, Edward Heath
Outside of Winston Churchill, none of these prime ministers impressed me, I’m German and most of our chancellors after 1949 have been more impressive,
Im suprize research harold wilson more
Well, your chancellors before 1945 had overwhelming impact on history. The two of them, in particular.
Either they were to old, to I'll, or to weak. A confederate of quiters😂
In 1940 (from May 10, at least), PM and junior coalition party leaders all opposed a genocidal power.
What does the sovereign do both PM *and* HM opposition leader support a genocidal regime?
How u.g.l.y. the queen has treated Tony Blair. She was happy when he was humiliated. Why it is so hard for her to congratulate others and be happy for them? At 80 years old we'd expect any person to let down their ego just a bit
She was a queen. She thought she was more important than anyone and should be the favourite of the british people. Because that's how monarchs feel: superior, unaware that they are only humans like us, made of flesh, bone and blood and that will die slow and painfully in a hospital bed. But until that moment reaches they want to feel like demi gods, or protagonist of a fairy tale.
This is fictionalized. There is no record of how she really felt about any of her prime ministers (at least spoken words). You certainly can infer things based on things that occurred. For example, she attended both Churchill's and Thatcher's funerals. That would seem to indicate she at least had respect for them.
Winston Churchill great leader and should be recognised as so but a terrible human being!
When The Crown used to be good
I'm pregnant. Camila here.
Your child won’t be the heir anyway so you’re wasting your time 😂
What?
LMAO
