Queen doesn't want to let go of Queen Mother - The Crown Season 6 

My father (2001) died 10 years before my mother (2011). When Mom died, even though I was 49, I recall thinking that I was now an orphan and that I moved to the head of the line to be the next to pass away myself. I recall feeling very alone even though I have a wonderful husband.

You think they'll be there for ever but unfortunately that's what we all have to come to terms with 😢

​@Nyquil5 oh I know exactly how you feel! I was 45 when my mother passed and 51 when my father did. I thank God every day for my husband, but it's different than your parents. This scene really touched me bc I always turned to my father for advice, and I remember him being so old and just not having the answer anymore. Even though you and I are clearly lucky enough to not be alone, it still is an overwhelming feeling of loneliness. May your parents rest in peace 🙏🙏 PS I am so glad the Queen had her Prince almost to the very end!

So true. You might as well be a 3 yr old toddler, because that's how you feel. Like a motherless child, as the song says.

When my grandmother died at the ripe old age of 86, her three children(my mom and her two brothers) who are in their fifties were bawling messes.

So true. Not a day goes by that I don't think of mine and wish they were here

Not only that, but the Queen Mother died only 49 days after Princess Margaret died. To lose your only sibling and your mother in a 49 day span of time would be extremely hard.

But her father died when she was 26, through.

*though ​@@dariosandoval3608

terribly sorry for ur loss. my heart goes out to u

This life is really the a prelude for the eternal life we all will transfer into which is more glorious. Fear not death, it is the beginning of our real life in the beyond.

Then, later, Prince Philip died.

@@angemaidment5640 Yes, but that was many years later. She followed him not long afterward. Still, it hits different when it's your parent. I'm glad Philip was the last death of a loved one she had to witness.

She was extremely close to her mother. They spoke almost everyday. Only when the Queen was distantly abroad did they not speak. Although she had Philip, (and Anne) it was not the same as the relationship she had with her mum and sister. RIP Elizabeth.

@@michaelhayden725 Allegedly there was a telephone operator in Buckingham Palace whose greatest joy was the phone calls from the Queen Mother to the Queen. This enabled the operator, when she put through the call, to say, "Your Majesty? Her Majesty, Your Majesty."

She died 50 years and a month after the king

$$$

Historians also pointed out that she grew up in the same era of Downton Abbey, imagine that generation.

My own grandmother lived a long time after she lost her husband. He didn’t live long enough to be a grandfather.

I have a friend who was widowed a a teenager losing her husband at just 19 when their son was only a lil over a year old h​@@angemaidment5640

Me too 🥺 The Ritz episode is a very sad episode 😭 Princess Margaret suffered so much of her stroke. She died one month before Queen Mum

The Ritz episode is one of the best of the entire series. It’s marvelous television.

Margaret was a nightmare

Please remember it is a drama not a documentary

@@thomasfy4 .. erm please remember people are allowed to get invested in characters in a drama. I wasn’t saying it was reflecting her real life.

So so sad god save our gracious queen x

There’s literally an entire episode before this episode about margarets death. And whats an ‘incident’..? She dies thats not an incident. What a weird comment

@@1200661there’s literally no reason for you to berate this comment, go nit-pick on someone face to face

When George VI passed in 1952, nobody would have known that the next to pass away in that family was actually the youngest, then-21-year-old Princess Margaret.

Alot happened quickly her mother probably couldn't take anymore

During the Blitz she was asked if the princesses would be sent to Canada for their safety, she answered, "They won't leave without me. I will not leave without the King and the King will never leave." The heart of a lioness.

And 9 years later She Lost her Prince Philip 😢😢😢

​@@RoccoOrecchini 19 yrs later not 9 yrs

its a tv series, american. Too much fentanyl is making you believe thia is real.

Oh damn....you're right..

I sat by my mom's bedside for two weeks in the nursing home. I didn't want to leave her so much so that I showered at the home itself, I was blessed that they gave me my own shower. I couldn't leave her, she was unresponsive but I could not bring myself into moving my feet and walking out the door to go home. My mom was afraid of dying, she wasn't afraid of where she was going! But rather having to take that trip alone. She said once she knew that is one trip that we all must go it alone. However I told her that she may have to take the trip alone, but she wld never draw her last breath alone, that she has my word that I would be there by her side. And so began the 14 longest days saddest days loneliest days of my life. As I watched my siblings come sit watch, then leave to go home and rest, I took up my seat by her side and slowly watched her, drawing one less breath each time. I have been through many hard and sad times in my life but the one constant was that my mom was ALWAYS there during those times. It was ironic to me that the Proudest day of my life was in the end the SADDEST day of my life. But it was important that I keep my promise to her. When I saw her literally saw take her last breath it dawned on me at that time, that woman, that sweet soul was there when I was born and seen me take my first breath of life, and so in keeping my promise, she waited till my siblings took their leave to go home for a rest,and I her youngest born, was left there sitting by her side lamenting on the past, when I took her hand and I again looked at her, I was given the honour of seeing her TAKE HER LAST BREATH. When she took that Long last breath, it tore me in half be sure I also come to realise that the one person who I could rely on to be there for me my whole life, had indeed now taken her leave and gone home to my sister who had passed away 49 & 1/2 years earlier, that she was finally home in heaven, but I was left behind! alone! in a quiet room left to wait for my brother to come back and give him the news that our mom was gone. I can honestly say that I've never felt a saddness quite like it before, and I never want to feel that saddness ever again. When yr young you always think yr parents are going to be there, to share in your happiness, yr saddness, yr joys and yes even your disappointments. But all of a sudden yr sitting next to their bed holding their hand and telling them it's ok to go. If i can give some advise rember to tell yr parents you love them, because when they are gone it's to late.

It really depends on the relationship one has with their parents. Bad parents aren't missed by their children. You and Elizabeth were lucky to have good parents.

She lost her father when she was 26, through. She must be lucky to have a mother alive when she was over 60.

@harribocaplays7136 Yes, she died WAY before my father. She's been gone almost 30 years.

Strength, brother.

I understand. I lost my dad when he was 95, and I, too, had no spouse, children or grandchildren. I hope you have good friends around you.

@@cambler8558 Actually I have NO friends and I never did, not even when I was a child. Only family which is all gone now. When I had to bury my father 2 months ago, I stood all by myself in the church and at the grave. I'm no loner either. I was very active in my community for many years.

She doesn't die in this video. She just falls asleep

Weird this comment is getting so many likes while its not this scene she dies

@@frname7665she died minutes later though after this scene when prince william was informed of her death

@@juanchoresultay2704you mean she died later in the evening after this scene. What’s to say that she riding the horses didn’t happen before this

@@1200661 It's close enough. And a lot of people relate to Elizabeth

Even in the likely scenario of the room being packed at the time, one can't imagine that Elizabeth didn't feel alone when the Queen Mother died making her the sole survivor of 'Us Four'!

"The king will not leave London, and I will not leave the king."

In truth, they spent the war years at Windsor Castle. Margaret talked about it in a TV interview.

@@misscoutts6193 The daughters stayed at Windsor Castle. The king and queen stayed at Buckingham Palace in London.

Thank you.

amen to that!

It was Princess Margaret who burned her feet in the tub. The Queen Mother had fallen in her sitting room and then developed a persistent cold and was bedridden at Sandringham. When Princess Margaret died, the Queen Mother insisted on attending her funeral and was flown via helicopter to Windsor. She remained at Royal Lodge until she died a month later.

It was Margaret that burned her feet! Not the Queen Mother!

You are very confused

I agree, terrible casting director, she looks nothing like the Queen Mother.

They needed someone with a more rounded figure.

19 yrs later..It is 2002 and Prince Philip died in 2021

This was not the scene, however, in which the Queen Mother passed on.

I reckon the queen mother would be proud if she actually died in this scene given the importance she herself laid on the crown

As a mother, yes, I actually can. From the day they're born, your life is no longer your own. It's all about them. Most mothers and fathers wouldn't have it any other way

you need therapy. really please seek help.

​@@heather2028 you sound very sweet and smart 😊. We need more parents like you!

😲

Quote: "It's all such fun, isn't it?"

Yes, the Queen paid off her mother’s debts out of her own pocket.

LMAO.

Forget Harry Potter. Imelda plays the queen perfectly.

Or maybe you're just too shallow and narrow minded to see them as something more than just their comedy roles.

Really I don't remember Delores Umbridge being a comedian. So tell me again how the actress that plays the queen is a comedian.

Great actors/actresses can play both comedy and tragedy

@@countbenjamin1442 Well... she smiled a lot as Dolores Umbridge, maybe that's it 🤷‍♂

@@dukeofglasgow9354 Exactly. It's just like with Robin Williams. 99.9% of the time, an actor/tress known for comedy will do equally well, if not even better, in drama. If they can swing into one extreme, then they can also swing in the complete opposite one. (12/21/2023)
