The Queen Tells Off Charles | The Crown 

"No one wants to hear it" The Queen doesn't throw shade, she casts an eclipse.

The way she says "It is a duty" is so similar to Clare Foy's voice it's almost scary

The Crown really tried and nearly succeeded in making me feel bad for Charles in season 3. And then season 4 happened. And we remembered how he treated Diana. And then I don’t feel sorry for him anymore.

The Queen’s speech to Charles is verbatim the exact same one Elizabeth’s grandmother Queen Mary gave her in season 1. To the word.

I was watching the Diana in her words documentary and she always said how Charles never encouraged her or gave her praise or thanked her for anything. This makes total sense now!!

I love how she quoted her grandmother’s words from the first season. It gives a good perspective in how she really took those words to heart, and it really was the catalyst in her transformation as an impartial queen.

First she had to deal with her sister about having “too much character” and then she had to deal with her own son about the same thing, aye no wonder she decided to become immortal (I spoke too soon……RIP HM）

Goddamn. I know WHY she's saying it, but imagine being a young adult and hearing that. That's just soul crushing.

“I have just embarked” “You were SENT” The writing in this is brilliant. She always chose her words carefully

"No one wants to hear it!" The queen throws shade at Charles with all the force of a sledgehammer.

Probably one of the saddest scenes from the series. "No one wants to hear it." "Are you talking about the country, or my own family?" "No one."

Olivia's range from sweet and heartbreaking to brutally cold is breathtaking. Even I shrank down in my seat here.

Complaining about being unseen when he does the same shit to Diana.

Who the hell cast this actor as Charles? He's too cute

"mommy, i have a voice" that part was really so sad. probably the only time i felt bad for charles.

And we wonder why he turned out to be a cold heartless person towards Diana. Look at this family dynamic. Repeated denial of love turns hearts cold. Its a fact

This was the same woman that stayed up late at night worried and nearly ruined her marriage over Charles being bullied at Gordonstoun.

Olivia Colman is unbelievably good. It’s almost comical how good she is. Born to be an actor.

“Or exist” “ I have a beating heart” Those two lines made me feel empathy for Charles

When she said “No one wants to hear it”. You can see her sadness because she was in the same position and she had to learn that no one does want to hear it. She had to learn the hard way and she’s trying to help him, no matter how he may take it.

This was one of those "ice in the veins" things. What mother tells her son that nobody cares what he thinks or feels, including herself. A parent should be a soft place to land, even if she's a monarch. Maybe she was just trying to toughen him up but it's still a super sad scene. I can't imagine my parents saying that to me, or saying it to my own kids :(

That final "No one" felt like "I, your own mother, don't want to hear you". I've heard that and worse from my mother, and she's been dead to me for years.

"Let me let you into a secret. No one wants to hear it." Wow!

You can see the hurt on her face at 3:20. We've seen her spend her entire life up to this point learning to suppress and mold herself into the person she thought the country needed-and now her own son is telling her that it's made her soulless. When she says "no one wants to hear it," I feel like she's talking as much about her own voice as she is about his. Idk if she made the right decision or not, but I feel for her either way.

You can see why prince Charles so attached to Camila. He have a mommy issue. Can’t blame him

Olivia Colman is a very expressive person, while playing the queen she contains herself too much. And she does it perfectly.

i just realized this is the EXACT dialogue elizabeth had with her grandmother back in season 1. the difference is interesting: she responded to the “the less you do, the less you say…” talk with more sadness, whereas charles’s reaction was rather angry and confused. some brilliant writing here

When you consider how the queen acts like an actual queen, her children's behavior make alot more sense. They never had an actual mother. Of course they are weridos lmao.

The Camila vs Diana thing makes sense now. All 3 had their faults. But Diana was too much for Charles from the start, shined brighter. Just her nature. Camila was like the womb that Charles never had. Different, special but not too much.

The actress is great. As she’s telling her son no one cares it’s like she’s hesitant but acknowledging her sons pain. It’s like her words are cold but her eyes were kind and sad for her son

The acting in this 3rd season has been astounding so far. This was a great scene, but then there are so many. The scenes with Prince Philip's mother are amazing also...she is a phenomenal actress.

This scene was cold blooded, no matter how much I detest his behavior with Diana you can't deny he was deprived and it shaped him into who he became. That is the story of us all, I won't pretend I totally understand but children early on need certain things to develop into a more healthy well rounded being. I'd like to add no one truly knows if this scene is real and many other things thru the seasons.

This part was a bit sad. I understand why she says it , but to have your own mom to tell you, you must suppress yourself... It's hard. This scene and the one where the former king dies and Charles says he felt he had replaced him made me feel bad for prince Charles.

Charles never had a mother. He had a tough, distant father and a queen. The average time spend with his ''parents'' when he was little was less than 20 minutes a day. This wasn't ''tough love'', there was barely any love, just duty.

Turns out that if you raise a person with no emotional sentiment, suppress who they truly are, force them to give up the person they truly love, and neglect them when they need you most; they’ll turn cold and heartless and project their frustration and anger towards the person they’re around who is allowed to be what they were denied.

She does come across as cold here and it seems very unfair that they can't have opinions. But I think that's the very reason the British Monarchy has endured. She has a point. Because they're really only steps away from being got rid of. Even now. They have to keep themselves to themselves and try not to step on anyone's toes. It wasn't that long ago after all when the majority of the European monarchies were very abruptly got rid of.

To be denied the basic love from his own mother is truly heartbreaking.

“No one wants to hear it” what I’ll say to my relatives next thanksgiving dinner 😂

"You irksome child, I shall now choose to live forever just to spite you."

Can we appreciate the modulation of the actor playing Charles? His voice is so on point!

She’s not wrong, nobody cares what Charles has to say

Looks like Elizabeth graduated from the same school of Empathy as Tommy Lascelles and the Queen Mother

In my opinion the Queen is stern and cold here because she was hurt by Charles' speech. She did show how she cared about him, and smiled when she said Charles' hobby is acting to the PM.

“Cause a I have a beating heart” This is the *first* time I sympathize with Charles, and even feel sorry for him.

to be told by your own mother that you don't matter is so cold and heartbreaking. i felt so much for charles in this scene. especially when he said "mummy" softly at 3:32. so heartwrenching

I find this scene and his Hollow Crown monologue from "Richard II" at the end absolutely heartbreaking. Josh O'Connor is amazing as Prince Charles.

He is a sad pathetic man, camila was dull and nurturing towards him, built his ego up. She was the first to do that and that’s why Charles clingged to her. With princess Diana she was beautiful, funny, smart, did her best to be the perfect princes for him but she stole the spotlight and he didn’t like that. He wanted her to be in the background and stand still, boost up his ego and give him all the attention. But she fought back, she didn’t bend to him like camila did. He wanted to be heard, seen, understood cause he wanted to be the only one everyone had eyes on. He picked Diana cause he thought she would be a background prop doing what he says not having a mind of her own.

Brilliant writing, brilliant acting. This is as good as it gets.

When she says no one wants to hear it, she isn't just talking about his voice. She's talking about all of them. People look at her and see her as the system, when she too is in the same position as Charles.

He couldn't give to DIANA what he didn't receive from his family.. it's logic. He was always looking to be thanked and valued for who he is and that is what Camilla gave him.. He couldn't understand DIANA because for him it is what it is, he was braiwashed and never understood.

The way he said "mummy" was so quiet, so scared even though the words after that were so clear... i know nothing about this show but wow!

The moment she said "No one wants to hear it" i remembered Colin firths portrayal of her father in the film the Kings speech, the bit in the church with Lionel as they argue about why anyone should listen to him and he yells "Because i have a voice!" . Not because he was a king but because he was a person . I hope the Queen never was this blunt to Charles because it only means her fathers fight to be heard didn't have the lasting effect it should have.

I'll be honest, I felt bad for Charles up through Season 3. You see how he is treated by other people and his own family and it's really heartbreaking. Obviously, any sympathy we all had for him went out the door in Season 4 when we saw how he treated Diana, but Season 3 honestly made you feel something for Charles.

She's wrong. The Welsh wanted to hear his voice. They greatly appreciated it.

3:05 - absolutely amazing! Josh O'Connor's portrayal of Prince Charles was wonderful. I fear he won't be as recognized as the leads Olivia and Toby during award season but he should be. He was the standout of S3 to me.

Too much Charles hatred here to actually fully appreciate this scene. It's all about the family being under complete control. They have no freedom. They are imprisoned into a system. They will never be able to freely show how they think or feel. Charles, being next in line, is given that lesson and he realises that he will never have a life he actually wants to have.

My mother said that same thing to all four of us at one time or another. And she wondered why I never confided in her about anything.

Charles goes around whining about how no one gives him any kindness or empathy, yet he treats his wife like garbage. You get back the energy you put out.

Olivia Colman is brilliant. She conveys so much with just her seemingly frozen facial expressions when she is not speaking, but they can convey so much. I will miss her, as I missed Claire Foy, but I am looking forward to Imelda Staunton who I am sure will rise to the task. I can’t wait until season 5 comes along.

This acting, honestly, I felt like it could've been an actual conversation that Their Majesties might have had in real life. I've never exactly been a fan of the monarchy in this country, but I feel as though this scenario could go a long way to explaining why so many of its members are the way they are. Imagine being told nobody wants to hear what you have to say, especially by your own mother.

It reminds me of that scene from season 2 where Charles is in the cockpit with his father and he's panicking and Phillip just loses it. Both are trying to do their best to raise their son but realuse they just can't get a 'grip' on him. He's emotional, sensitive but willful and headstrong. The kind of kid who would rather starve to death than be fitted into a mold. And then he did the same thing to Diana who was even more sensitive.

If they can’t speak their minds publicly, they should at least be able to discuss their thoughts and beliefs with their own family. So harsh and cold. I don’t like Charles but anyone raised the way they did with no love or compassion from their parents is going to have issues for sure

As much as I love Olivia Colman and think of her as one of the greatest, I can't help but hold Claire Foy's portrayal of the Queen in higher regard. Of course Colman is incredible too, but there's something about the body language and the restraint that Foy brought to her performance. She was fragile yet glorious.

damn this actor is more Charles than the actual Charles. he never fails to impress in any project I've seen him in.

One of the most powerful scenes of the series to date,and I can actually imagine The Late Queen of blessed memory saying this to The King.

This was Charles cry for attention or help & he has been shut down. I felt bad for him because he didn’t ask for it, he wanted to do other things but he‘s the heir to the throne.

I understand both points of view. The British monarchy has no party, the are an emblem, a figure of union, they are a way to unite them all under one crown as a solid nation. There for they can not have public political opinion because they are the state, it would be as if the flag had a political party. I get that Charles was young and wanted to be heard, but I know that the queen was right, if the flag shows preference for certain very prominent political views, the other sides would rise in outrage and it would be the beginning of chaos.

Even in this short scene, these two brilliant actors pulled me in and tore me up. Writing. Direction. Editing. Production Design. Acting. All top notch.

What's interesting is that Charles wanted to help. His changing the speech was him trying to show that he actually gave a crap and didn't want to stand there as a figure head. *edit*: HOLY CRAP 1.6K likes?! THANK YOU.

She lacked so much warmth this time around, especially to her kids

The most simple and most devastating thing she said ….”No one”. Ain’t no coming back from that one! SSSSSNAP!!!!

I always find it curious how people seem to only understand the hardship of the crown through one person. Everyone can agree that Diana was a victim, but forget that Charles was too a victim of the crown, as is his mother. All these people have no say in how to live their lives and not allowed to complain either.

the most eviscerating "no one" ever uttered. She outdoes even herself in the next season

The actress playing the Queen is doing a really good job. I haven't watched the crown but my jaw dropped when I heard her speak. The way she lets her voice flow is pretty much identical to the Queen's, it's incredible.

This explains events in 2019 so much, this episode pulls me into their past to get the answers.

The ice in Olivia's voice and nuance in her acting. I love her so much!

If this scene is based around an actual conversation that the Queen had with Charles, then it explains so much of why he did nothing in his marriage with Diana. He was simply following what his mother was telling him was the way to do things. Also keep in mind, the words of Queen Mary are the words of a different century. The Queen was so trapped by the traditions of the past and their way of doing things that she forgot to be a mother to the child who needed it more than any of her children. That’s why I love Diana, because she was determined to ensure that her children, especially the boy who will one day be King, would still remember to be a man of principle, love, and above all else, HUMANITY!! Mark my words, many “traditions” and ways of the royal family will die the day the Queen dies...

"No one wants to hear it. No one." - No one is interested in what you think, how you feel, or who you are. No one wants to recognize you. No one sees you. How's that for being obliterated. 😨

Whenever duck shoot starts playing you know stuff just got real.

It's pretty clear that Charles resented Diana for expressing herself in a way that he never had the freedom to. He had already been so browbeaten by his own family that, by the time he married Diana, he had already been transformed into a man who both openly resented but was none-the-less beholden to family duty.

Is it only me that loves seeing the scenes in movies or shows that were tiny clips in the trailer? ...almost like you’re experiencing how excited you were to see it when you watched the trailer all over again

Charles: Do I not have a voice? Queen: "Rather too much of a voice for my liking" 😂 The Queen's Black mom moment

I think the actor does Charles’ accent so well!

He isn’t only her son, but also a subject of the Queen.

Charles: "Because I have a beating heart" *It's heartbreaking. We sometimes forget that Elizabeth isn't just the Queen to Prince Charles, but also his mother and to hear her say those words to her own son is heartbreaking. *

At 3:47, Queen Elizabeth officially invents the "Do you want A or B? .... Yes" meme joke.

This was one of the most powerful scene in the entire series

How Olivia Coleman managed to sound like Claire Foy is awesome and scary at the same time. Excellent choice. ALSO, Josh just nailed this. Beautifully written.

I find this particular video interesting because of how many people sympathize with Charles. This man was born into a royal family. Because of that, he is rich, has traveled the world, was given an excellent education, and will always have a job. But it also comes with responsibilities, restrictions that non royals do not have. Some of them are incredibly harsh, but it seems like that's balanced with all the good things that come with being royal. But what people don't seem to realize is that becoming the next king is a CHOICE that Charles has. He can bow out (his uncle did, so did his son). He can remain in the royal family but have his sister Anne be the next queen. He could have completely walked away from it all and lived a quiet life with Camilla. But he didn't do that, he wanted to be king. He wanted to be the center of every thing. He wanted to be important and special. He just didn't want to have to follow the same rules his mom had to follow. He wanted it easy and simple. And when he couldn't get what he wanted, he threw tantrums. In public. Like a child. My guess is that if this conversation did actually happen between them, it wasn't the first time. Or second. Knowing how whiny Charles is, the reason these harsh words were uttered was because the Queen was utterly exhausted with him. He wasn't getting what she was trying to teach him. And him thinking that he should be congratulated when he had done something wrong in public probably pushed her beyond her breaking point. I bet he got the lesson after this conversation though. Probably moped about it for some time to Camilla though, who probably patted his head and gave him hot cocoa, scones, and a gold star for being such a good boy with such a bad mummy.

I honestly feel like there’s a lot of Mothers and Sons who have had this exact same type of fight. I know I have

“Come in” Anyone with a mom knows the tone of their voice when they’re pissed 😂

So sad that he did realize that her speech meant she, too, wants to give an opinion and wants to use her voice sometimes, but never does because it conflicts with the crown. He didn't understand that she was in thr very same position as him. Instead he insults her, saying she has no heart and no character. I guess that's way she was so cold to him in the end.

Olivia Colman deserves another Oscar for playing this part!!

The sad thing is that impartiality haunted her during Aberfan when people needed her and she drug her feet. To not show emotion or feel is to lose trust. I thought that was evident in all the times when people wanted a real voice and not a figure head. When you become disconnected and don’t speak up for what is right you become a part of the problem. It’s a comfortable place to be but a dangerous one for those at the bottom that are affected the most.

She is a the queen and understands her responsibility.

When he said he had a beating heart, it really made me feel sorry for him, cause he's right, the Queen was always one to follow protocol and do whats expected of her while not disappointing anyone, and not everyone can do that, Charles felt trapped and shouldn't be looked at as a fool, because he wasn't, he was forced into many things, including his marriage.

Before watching this show, I just thought that the Royal family were lazy do-nothings that lived in the lap of luxury. Now I realize that they’re some of the hardest working people and their role actually requires sacrificing everything. I can’t imagine going through this your entire life.

Josh O'Connor must have high empathy levels, because I feel I was really watching Charles, but a Charles only seen and known by a few people. He painted such an intimate portrait of him, I think, and this is a big part of why this show is sooo good, so well done. I just cannot stop watching Josh and Olivia Coleman together, they are soo god. And Olivia Colman seems to have two entities inside her: her usual everyday self and her Talent, that just has this incredible life of its own. The top performances of any film about the royal family ever done, hands down. Second to them I would place Helen Mirren, third Alex Jennings (first as the Duke of Windsor, second as Charles) and fourth Naomi Watts, who at times seemed to actually be Diana.

"Isn't there a similarity between my predicament and the Welsh?" As a proud Welshman, no!

Over-compartmentalism for so many years has a lot of unintended bad side effects. This coldness and indifference is one of them.
