The Queen Breaks The News To Margaret | The Crown (Claire Foy, Vanessa Kirby) 

She may have decided to go easier on Charles because she regretted not going easier on Margaret.

Most likely she had no regrets because she wasn't aware of the real harm she had inflicted upon her sister: she just thought she had done her duty without the slightest care for her own family. There would have been ways of circumventing those silly rules nobody but the most conservative courtiers and advisors cared about, but she chose not to bother the establishment and sacrifice her sister for her own peace. On the other hand, she was young and very insecure, and the lack of a proper academic education left her vulnerable in front of all those grey-haired Eton and Oxford educated men.

It’s a shame because I feel like Elizabeth through her reign made the expectations for the wrong people, as you said, and the right people were denied. The suffering it caused hurt Elizabeth’s reign at different points.

No rules for Andrew...

Close sources said that she deeply regretted not supporting Margaret and the aftermath of it, which is the main reason she allowed Harry to marry Meghan, who was divorce and allow them to exit.

well it's a show, not a movie

In reality, Margaret could have married Peter if she agreed to give up he royal privileges. She chose to keep her privileges and broke up with Peter.

The reality was she had to give up her place in the succession only. She wasn't going to be queen anyway. She just didn't want to marry him

Well, I think the fact that his sisters were married to German noblemen with Nazi affiliations had something to do with that. And he had no money or good manners (in their eyes).

He didn’t have money, he was born on a table, he wasn’t Church of England, his mother was Hessian (and mentally ill) , and his sisters married Nazis.

Because his family was exiled. He was a prince with no country. His father was accused of treason, his mother had been committed to a mental institution, his aunt and uncle were deposed and horribly executed, and his sisters had married Germans who became Nazis. That’s a lot of scandal for one family, whether right or wrong. I’m sure they’d have rather had her marry a man from a “proper aristocratic family”. Turns out they were wrong and Elizabeth was right.

His family fell. Thats why.

And to Americans he was nothing but just another man .

It’s possible that King George might have granted the wish of his “Joy”..but not a given. Elizabeth’s father was also a Constitutional stickler-QEII Got that as much from him and from her grandmother Queen Mary as she did from her advisors. I believe this truly was a matter of conscience for her, but there’s no way that she could’ve predicted that the marriages of three of her four kids would fall apart and this issue would crop up again. The King relied a great deal on Peter, But Townsend’s relationship with the King’s younger daughter might have been viewed as a betrayal of trust. It wasn’t just that an older man fell in love with the boss’s daughter or that PT was a commoner. He met Margaret when she was 14 and he was a 32-year-old married father. There is some question about when their romantic relationship began and it’s quite possible that Townsend was having physical contact with Margaret well he was still married and she was underage. Townsend was hustled out of Margaret’s orbit and posted to Brussels immediately after their relationship became public. Maybe Margaret’s elders feud him as a corrupting influence. I certainly find cause for reservations about his character and his motivations for having romantic designs on Margaret. But had the king lived to make this decision, you are right that the marriage in Scotland probably would’ve been allowed to take place. The question that remains is whether the king would have really gone for it. He had even more reason to be protective of Margaret then her sister had. But the king liked Peter very much so who knows.

Highly doubtful. In the 1950s, divorce was looked down upon. It was taboo. When I was a teen in the late 70s, it was still not fully accepted. King George wouldn't have wanted that for his "joy".

You can watch it on 9movies 😉

True, but Camilla still had a living husband, and according to the Church of England she couldn't remarry him in their faith. However, as the senior royal whose opinion mattered the most, which Charles being the next in line, the late Queen gave her approval in 2005. Eventually, she allowed Camilla to have status to become the future queen consort.

You do know the General Synod changed the rules 5 years before they married due to huge increase in divorce in Britain (42% : in the US and Australia 50%)or alienate vast numbers. Your bigotry is showing and it is not a good look​@@reginadoggett9921

Why was Elizabeth jealous of Margaret?

@@sugarkane4830 She wasn't jealous. She just let Margaret know that under the law a royal princess couldn't marry a divorced man.

So why do you watch it here?

@@Ponka277 I did not. clicked by mistake. it is a waste of resources.

@@hanaluong2672 writing such comments is a waste too

I watch these "nonsense" to forget my problems and escape the cold truth that a nuclear war is coming soon which will devastate humanity and bring us all back to the stone age.
