Philip Refuses To Bow To His Wife | The Crown (Claire Foy, Matt Smith, Greg Wise) 

Too good. The second I had to say goodbye to these two, the show lost it's touch for me. I get that the time skips are necessary, but urrrghhhhhhhhh...it ruined it for me. Really enjoyed Foy and Smith.

👍

Um yeah but he also understood what happened to royals who were aloof and out of step. What he says in the fictionalized scene about Greece and his grandfather are true historic events.

Yes we know...in fact I read the real Prince had no problem with kneeling.

Yes if you watch the real life footage of the coronation he bounds up the stairs, says his vows in a clear unhesitating voice, then kisses her on the cheek and gives her a big grin. Far from having a problem with it, he was obviously proud as punch of her.

I kinda figured this was fictional because he should have knew who he was married to especially since he came from royal himself.

Actually something like this probably did happen a lot of the arguments they have were based on real ones but with different reasons such as the walk behind her one in Greece the royal couple walked side by side with the ruleing member on the outside for better vewie it was about safety more then rank sense it ment thir guards could get to both more quickly without haveing to deal with a gap then there was the last name one she had a uncle who had kids her name would live in his wouldent sense his older brother had died diring the war

The strive for perfection is always, inevitably, going to end in failure.

he knew he would be before he married her - gads - it’s not like this was all a big surprise to him 🤨 Phil was such a big baby

@@ej3016 Of course he knew before marrying her.

Oh and Doctor Who. He played Doctor Who.

Don’t forget Morbius

His performance here is greater although House of the Dragon earned him meme materials

He is awesome in house of the dragon

Ah, that's where I've seen him before. Haven't watched either show, just some clips. Thanks, my brain can calm down about what I'd seen him in now! (Not sarcastic, was genuinely wrack8ng my brain.)

I’m guessing you aren’t a Brit

Yeah the real Philip was so poor when he was courting Elizabeth that he didn't even have enough money to buy her an engagement ring. Luckily his mum, Princess Alice, came to the rescue and gave him some of her jewellery so that Philip could use one of the diamonds to have a ring made. A true love match.

@@theshillneckedlizard8364 On The CROWN, Alice is shown pawning one of her (very valuable) jewels to get the money to help her religious order. The pawn broker assumes she's a liar and a thief ...

@@maestroclassico5801 Yeah, she really did sell most of her jewellery to found her religious order, not to pawnbrokers though, to private buyers. Not that she had all that much because she had to leave most of it behind in Greece, but what did have she either sold or gave away to charity. She was a remarkable lady.

@@theshillneckedlizard8364 Have you seen the episode? I think it's season 3....Jane Lapotaire who played her, was fantastic. And it indeed shows Alice with her order and it's actually a funny scene as the police come in and yell at the shopkeeper she tried to sell her jewelry to "Do you not know who that is? That's Princess Alice...her Great Grandmother was Queen Victoria and her Uncle was the Czar!" And here's Alice dressed like an impoverished nun.

We're not that poor. And a big reason we abolished the monarchy is because Queen Frederica was a greedy, German cow and was taxing everything too much. I really liked Constantine though. And his kids are a lot better behaved than Elizabeth's.

Albert and Victoria were not married at her coronation so this did not occur

Domination fantasies???

YES@@lisamcallister6534

​@@lisamcallister6534 Nothing wrong with that 😏

We campaigned for years to have a clear statement that it was fiction. The amount of people who believed this was a drama-documentary was stunning, especially in the USA. This is how we became aware of the 30 year scam based on the hoax Diana Interview 1995 with the BBC Martin Bashir he obtained using fake evidence and fraudulent documents to convince Diana that Charles was having revenge affairs for all of hers. And con her into believing there was a plot to kill her- that literally terrified her to her death. The horror that they actually believed Charles was having an affair with one of the people who were framed- now our Queen Camilla and Diana was a gullible victim of a convenient baby producer, for 30 years, we were stunned and furious. It just wasn't true. The divorce was because of Diana's infidelity. They said they targeted the USA because they were all "gullible Disneyheads". Our friends and allies. Absolutely livid. I'm glad people are becoming aware.

They were really kind to him, they didn't even show his numerous affairs, just hinted at them

@@rejanrobinson8797 he was so badly represented that Her late Majesty became very upset about it. There have only ever been rumours and gossip about affairs, none of them ever confirmed, nor proven.

Thats probably not why.

He never sued them! Lol

The real Philip had no problem with it at all. If you watch the newsreel footage of the coronation, he bounds up the stairs, says his vows in a clear ringing voice, then takes her hands in his, gives her a kiss on the cheek and gives her a big grin! It didn't bother him at all, far from it, he was obviously very proud of her.

@@theshillneckedlizard8364 Oh absolutely ! If you scroll down to Jasonkoch's comment you'll see my reply to him...thx though! 👍

Perhaps An hour in the Tower Will remind him Who is boss!

It’s out of respect for the crown, not the person

Nope.

When you know why he has to kneel before his wife, it's the kind of difficult thing any man would have liked to experience. Any man, even those born in the 1920s.

Blaming his affairs on the fact he can’t kneel to a queen is bs, if it were the other way around he wouldn’t make an exception or think as husband & wife stand side by side. Men ego are too fragiel

@@tristancadwell786 🤣You're too funny. Kneel before me.

@@georgepierson4920ew

@@georgepierson4920 why would I kneel for a loser on yt?😂

Simp

@@justcricket999 for her, yeah.

Not going to happen.

in an ideal world there would be no monarchies

In an ideal world, all the nations would be Realms. The highest standard of a group of people possible, and all Realms treated as compatriots. After all, Realms have the right to exist within its borders, and has the right to be heard on its opinions. Nations do not, they have no right to exist within its borders, which is why wars occur so much, and leaders are toppled. Monarchs have the right to reign, but their subjects have the right to point out when they are wrong. Anyone that does not recognise the Monarch has no right to do so.@@tomgachagan1347

couldn’t have said it better - “Phil” was a minor Royal but Royal none the less and knew better - his ego was always getting the better of him - “park that knee” indeed 👍

High ranking members of mobility kneeled? What are high ranking members of mobility?

I’d say it’s unlikely this happened. Prince Philip was already a Royal before marrying her and he would’ve known the system and duties as the consort.

You don’t know anything, shut up

And that'd be fine

In the show, yeah. IRL this never happened. The Queen & The Duke of Edinburgh had their issues, but the show dials it up to 11.

@@Myne1001how do you know? The crown was right about the Queen throwing things at Philip as that really happened. So they obviously had a fiery relationship.

He was not more "royal" than the queen. Sure, both sides of his family were royalty, but the Greek royal family was very young compared to her ancestry stretching back a thousand years.

That's not even the point of this scene though.

Peasants defending this mess 😂😂😂😂 how do people feel that this family is somehow better than them is beyond comprehension 🤷🏽‍♀️😂

women need to understand that this is the only purpose they serve lmao 🤣

What was she supposed to do? Abdicate in favor of Margaret? If he wanted a wife and "normal life" he was barking up the wrong tree.

no he was a man with a shred of pride thank goodness

@@danielwhittaker695 This is made up. The real Phillip had no problem kneeling, and was very happy all through the ceremony and gave Elizabeth a big kiss on the cheek after he said his vows.

​@@danielwhittaker695Misplaced pride

She's the Queen of England before being his wife. He's her subject like everybody else. He's acting like a child, asking to be treated differently.

why?

@@NHBoudy He should be treated differently, he's her husband. absolutely disgusting to force a partner to submit to your rule. Marriage is about partnership not domination.

I think you’re having trouble separating her as his wife and his queen. As his wife, she shouldn’t ask him to kneel before her because, as you’ve said, they are equal in their partnership. BUT, as his queen, she has every right to demand him to kneel before her because her station demands respect of all her subjects which includes him. It’s a lot like separating personal and professional relationships. Your boss may be your friend at work, but he’s still your boss. So, when he asks you to do something that you don’t necessarily like, it’s still your responsibility to do it without arguing. Think of it that way if it helps.

@@juliannecolwell500 If you were married to the President of the United States, would you call your husband Mr. President?

It's a show. Do you really believe it's all true?

It's a monarchy and wives bow to their husbands when the husband is king. Everyone bows to the King or Queen. If she were to make an exception she would have appeared weak to other nations. She was telling him he is bowing to the crown. To the monarchy. The Real Philip understood this and did bow. In a monarchy everyone is not equal. There are titles to show each person's rank and the hierarchy. Her husband did understand this as well as everyone in the royal family. Most people in the nation understood this and he most certainly did since he was not a foreigner nor a commoner. Prince Philip was 18 when he started corresponding with 13 year old Elizabeth, heir to the crown. He understood.

@@MariaMaria-sr8zg Why was an 18 year old interested in a minor?

The Queen is the Queen and Philip is just her subject like everyone else. Regardless of him being her husband.

Whims?

@@CorinnaJaneVox whims means a sudden desire or change of mind, especially one that is unusual or unexplained. For Instance "she bought it on a whim"

Would you call a king asking his queen consort to kneel before him a whim? It's a simple question, all the more so since it happened recently with a certain Charles and a certain Camilla.

Poor Philip, having to be the Queen's husband, what a daily burden. He'd probably have lasted until he was nearly 100 if this hadn't happened to him. Wait...
