Altrincham Urges Queen Elizabeth for Accessibility | The Crown (Claire Foy) 

"The Church of England does not recognise divorced persons." That's funny because the Church of England was started because King Henry VIII sought to divorce Catherine of Aragon. The Pope refused. Henry formed his own church in 1534 and granted himself a divorce 😂

QEII: “I don’t wish to be known.” Me: “Same.”

This is when the working royal came into play. Her mother even said "gloves on" as they met the commoners.

Claire Foy is remarkable! She becomes young Elizabeth totally!

Surprisingly she took his suggestions, I suspectvPhilip was all for them.

What an ACTOR!!!!!!!!!! and of course, Claire Foy, the heiress of the BIG ONES, DENCH, AND ALL OF THE OTHER GENIUS WOMEN OF ENGLAND'S ACTING!

And then they made her do it again in Season 6 with reviewing all the jobs in the monarchy 😅

Everything else was eventually done, but she never really allowed anyone to know the real 'her'. Thats why the first 2 seasons were such a success, they were raising the curtain on a little bit of who she was, fictional, of course, but there was an appetite in the audience to get to know Queen Elizabeth.

His first suggestion to stop debutante balls was exactly the first change that happened. And how many people got fucked by that divorced rule? Elizabeth should know this after seeing Margaret.

Supremely good. And very entertaining. Will now go back and watch the Claire Foy seasons again.

I thought Claire Foy was brilliant portraying the Queen

I respect both Olivia and Imelda as brilliant actresses but Claire is the only Queen I can watch. I will maybe watch the last season to see the William and Kate episodes, but will always return to the first three seasons.

When you ask the man for recommendations, you have to expect him to offer some.

I remember this episode(sort of) and I just thought she was coming off so arrogant. I get she is the queen and its duty but she claims that she does this for her people and the country but when the people want to be heard and inclusive, getting of the whole rule about divorce, etc, she doesn't want to listen. Those traditions that she values have been stuck since what? Tudor times? And she gets mad that people are telling her they want to be seen by her and change because those traditions are not working for the modern times.

He was telling her the truth, why is this family still around

All of these changes in Britain and the Monarchy happened either before I was born or early in my childhood. What's more, I'm an American and didn't really become aware of the reality of European people [the Tom or Pierre or Mario or Hans on the street] until I was stationed there in the US Army in the 80s. Before that, I knew they existed but only in a vague 'over there' sort of way. Claire Foy is a wonderful actress, but I have no idea how well she portrayed Young Queen Elisabeth II. From common opinion, she did very well. I can well see HM bristling at Altrincham's suggestions. On the one hand she feels like The Monarchy is intruding itself into her family life, with courtiers and PM criticizing every move she and Phillip make. On the other hand she is trying to be a bastion of traditional 'normality' adrift in a sea of social changes that have kept the Royal Family in a turmoil since 1900.

His manner and even if later some of his suggestions were taken on board at this time he was being an anti monarchist.

Wasn't Claire "Sexy Robot" on SNL ?

The Sovereign is not head of the church of England, God is head of the church, the Sovereign is Supreme Governor, very different!

Basically Asked Her To Stop Doing Everything That Makes People Royal And Special To Cater To Peasants. Until They Become Nothing Special Or Inspiring At All. Jealousy Always Kills Specialness And Beauty.
