The Age Of Difference Is Over | The Crown (Vanessa Kirby, Matthew Goode) 

The title reads incorrectly. It should say deference, not difference.

Lord Altrincham (John Grigg)'s famous criticisms of the Queen and the Monarchy in 1957 remain well-known. This is a good depiction. The Queen asked to see him and in fact some changes then followed * presentation of debutantes ceased after 1958 * the monarch's annual Christmas address was televised the next year (it had been on radio since 1930) * the queen did 'open up' and get out to see 'ordinary people' - very successfully from the 1960s onwards (royal walkabouts, though KIng GeorgeVI and Queen Elizabeth did them in Canada in 1939 and in Britain during WW2) It probably helped that he was a member of the House of Lords - a hereditary peer.

The Crown at its ABSOLUTE best. I love that they didn't give into any temptation to make this critic of the Queen look bad. And Claire portrays "wounded ego" beautifully. She's a dream to watch.

The change in Foy's demeanor as she realizes he's made some really good points... very well done.

Lighting in this scene is phenomenal. Light fully on his face, hers is half shadow and half-lit. So symbolic of their discussion of moving with the tines.

I can just imagine her grandmother Queen Mary blowing smoke in this man's face and bluntly saying, "What utter rubbish." 😆

I never understood the anti-divorce issue, the Anglican church was founded by Henry VIII because the catholic church would not allow divorce...the church of England was founded on divorce.

It's because of people like him that the British monarchy could survive the 20th century. Even when other crown heads fell left, right and center.

The Age of DEFERENCE is over.

She doesn’t want to accept the age of deference is ending, and I’m like “One day the newspaper is going to run a transcript of a phone conversation in which your son told his mistress that he wished he could be one of her tampons. Why? Because the media will eventually figure out stories about Royal scandals sell more papers than stories about royals cutting ribbons”

That’s Claire Foy Not Vanessa Kirby

Claire Foy is perfect in this series.

I think that of my self as a royalist, but he was right in everything... they might be richer and more important than the rest, but not precisely better...

John Heffernan is such a talented actor and so underrated. He did a great job here as Lord Altrincham!

I like that the tension coming from the queen and her hostility to his ideas do not faze him at all. He passionately believes in what he is saying. This once, the Queen forgets to ring the bell for the guest to be escorted outside. She has lost her composure.

I love the way she says “six.” You know ow what she wanted to say was “SIX!!!!”

Wow. This scene could start so much discussion and debate and with valid arguments on both sides. I recently read a book called "The Needs of Strangers" by Michael Ignatieff (1984) in which the author talks about the importance of differences in society, finding identity in what people don't have in common while still having people's needs met, along with discussion about what is need and who determines that. A very challenging book with much else in it, but well worth the time and effort to read it.

I don’t think anyone else has pointed it out yet, but it’s “deference,” not “difference.” Can’t believe everyone’s missed that. 🙃

Those recommendations had Diana all over them lol ..uncanny

That's what Diana had done when she was alive. She is the People's Princess and now the Queen of Hearts. She does not need a cornation but people just want her to be in their hearts.

I love how Lord Altrincham's left eyebrow was always in deference to the right one.

Everything he recommended to start was followed by the queen in real life and now some people want to abolish monarchy. The main reason why some people want to abolish monarchy is lack respect because the monarchs became more accessible, open and their private life are always on TV. In private work sector managers and supervisors should never EVER treat their subordinates as friends/peers because those same people will lose respect on you as you get closer personally.

DEFERENCE - not difference.

Those chilly 'Nexts' - Clare Foy always brilliant as the younger Queen,.

Claire Foy is absolutely brilliant as young Elizabeth. She is riveting in the role.

Both of them at their point of view is right according to them . Time proved to queen that he is right

*Deference. It means to submit. It does not mean difference lol. Who wrote that title?!! EDIT: even the actors are wrong! lol. That's Claire Foy and John Heffernan!

Of all the fabulous Crown episodes, this is my favorite. The actor that played Altrincham was wonderful and Claire Foy was perfect. I love the way the Crown summed up the story with real photos at the end of the episode such as this one and the exposure of Edward Vlll as a Nazi sympathizer. Its very emotional to see history recreated.

Young Elizabeth wasn't much on accepting an advice 😂 and the funny is that was very reasonable his statements!! She practically call him out for his failures but what he said was correct and adaptable!!

*dead-eye stare* "Next"

As always terrific acting here and from both performers. Claire Foy with just a look conveyed so much. To use some older American slang, the Queen looked she was going to "blow a gasket", but kept herself under control. Nothing was said or done in anger, but the anger comes through. --- One criticism I have for this scene is the use of the word "transparent". I don't recall "transparent" being used in that context until around the time President Obama was in office here in the U.S. Still this scene is outstanding.

Deference

He is asking her to be princess diana and be closer to the average person

I grew up in the Age of Difference. It was a different age. Now, it is over.

the title is wrong. it's DEFERENCE.

Before the boring Diana saga started, The crown was really good. How impactful the acting and body language is here!!!

There are certain things I love about English culture

Title is misspelled

Claire Foy is amazing!

Well he is kind of right

The popularization, or decrease in deference displayed by the monarchy has been blamed for the intrusion into the lives of the monarchy by the press, and the death of Princess Diana at the hands of the Paparazzi.

They should have listened more closely to him. The one issue I always love is the matter of divorce. The Church of England was literally founded on the need of a man to divorce his wife, and now they want to complain about divorce?

Inclusive! That is such a modern work word no one hardly ever used before about 2014. I'm surprised they didn't have him spout something about DEI.

That the church of England doesn't eknowledge divorced people... is quite the irony, given why this church was created in the first place.

She did eventually,I believe change some of these..and do that but they had to wait..

Absolutely: deference. Eeks!

Happy New Year to you and your beautiful family ☝🏽💯💜

The disconnect between the monarchy and its "subjects" is that, it never let go of its founding idea - that the role was a calling from God himself, that the English Monarch, in many ways, was akin to the Pope; the Almighty's Representative on Earth, and therefore, beyond reproach, beyond approach, and by definition - inaccessible. That those who were not of this calling were to stand in fear and reverence. Society moved on, things became more equal, the Monarchy did not.

hey hey, it's "deference" not "difference"

Title is incorrect. It should say deference!

"I don't wish to be known . . . ." Ooooooooooooooooooooooooh! Take THAT!

Foy is a phenomenal actress, but I think her attempt to project contempt in this scene went over the top. She had a look on her face and responded with such passive aggression that you'd think she was ready to summon a squad of guards to take him out back to be hung drawn and quartered. History tells us the queen was open to many of the ideas he presented and implementing them did help bring the monarchy into the post war era.

You guys get literally every single title and actor credit WRONG. Are you all smoking dope when you upload these? A simple Google search would suffice. FIX THEM ALL

Maybe the U.S needs to follow Lord Altrincham’s advice about getting rid of our “ostriches” who have been in government since the 1800’s

How could you not know deference over difference?! How thick can people be?!

"Deference", you philistines, not "difference"

I see the grammar police are out in full force.

Crazy, the uploader managed to get three things wrong with the title alone. It is "deference," not "difference." That is not Vanessa Kirby playing the queen, nor is it Mathew Goode portraying John Grigg.

Pity this wasn't the _full_ scene, including Her Majesty (Foy) entering [at the start] and Lord Altrincham leaving [at the end], if I recall correctly.

As of 2/14/2024, *the title should read "The Age of Deference is Over."*

Age of DEFERENCE NOT Difference!

It’s deference. Not difference. And that’s neither Vanessa Kirby nor Matthew Goode. It’s Claire Foy and some other fella (called John Heffernan).

your title is wrong, it is not the age of difference but the age of deference. learn your mother tongue, I had to.

honestly people thrive on their being someone higher than them to look up to or praise its why royalty and god still exist because mankind cant accept there is nothing higher or some big reason for everything. the people of england love their royalty and the mystery of the traditions it gives them something to strive for. wierd but true.

It's the "the age of deference is over", not difference 🤦‍♂

Deference, not difference.

The extremely noisy outro is annoying and unnecessary

Didnt he sneak into this room or sth?

It's deference, not difference.

The idea that we all have equal moral worth; that our interests ought to count for the same, and that we possess the same bundle of basic rights. When a Head-of-State believes and enforces separation between Herself and certain of Her subjects, how can there be equality of moral worth? "Separate but equal" is inherently unequal.

Which episode is this?

DEFERENCE

You have power and money. You dont need me. Adter all you are using thevqueen. Did you disrespect her? No. Good. Now shut up.

Its DEFERENCE not Difference!!

*Deference* not difference. lol

The age of Deference

Difference 😂

Deference, not difference. Please understand what you’re presenting before you post

What is with his eyebrows?

By allowing so-called 'normal' and 'ordinary' people in to her home and family is why 'the British Imperial House of Windsor' has these familial issues. Royals marrying outside their God-ordained rank, wedding commoners, has brought nothing but trouble and ongoing feuding. And, look! Most of those unions ended in divorce! Royals and commoners must be kept apart! This is not about royals thinking we are better than any one else. This is about preserving 'the seed of David' and 'the divine right of kings.' The mantle of being legitimately begotten 'of the blood royal' is a heavy weight that no one wants, the calling brings perpetual fatigue. The weight is made worse when our subjects interject their feelings, emotions, and opinions in to matters they know nothing about. Royal matters-of-state are NOT and shall never be the concern of the general public, the common populace. Let matters-of-state to those called and chosen by The Most High and go about your lives like the sheep ye all continue proving you all are and always will be. Obey 'the Ten Commandments' and live honourably.

It's Deference !! ffs

Next

I dont like monarchies at all, but the show and acting is so good (even if embellished for tv) that when he was recommending things to her i was like dude, shes the queen. She cant be seen w regular people! Lmfao

The queen did end the "debutantes" being presented to the monarch, she ended that in 1958. She did allow the televising of the Christmas speech in 1957. Other than that, the queen remained closed off. The arrogance of monarchy to think they know best.

Title: DEFERENCE, not DIFFERENCE. Look it up and learn the difference.

When an anachronism is so out of touch that it doesn’t even speak the current language.

Oh this “equality” destroyed everything.

all bad advice

So an unelected and unchosen head of state sat in front of a failed politician. She could see the one, but not the other!

We need to bring back the age of deference. Masses should not have a voice. Ban social media.
