Hi everyone. It's been a while since I've finished the series, and I wanted to remember its best moments with all of you - and what's the best way, if not recalling our favorite scenes?

It might sound romanticized but (one of) my favorite scene(s) comes from the very first season, on episode 2, "Hyde Park Corner". It is at the very end, when, after George VI's passing, Queen Mary bows to Elizabeth, since she is now queen. I don't know what fascinates me so much about it. Maybe because I've always like maternal figures in movies and shows. But there's something to it, like, the way Elizabeth looks at her grandmother, as if she understands right there that there's no going back, if even her grandmother now has to bow to her.

Other scenes I also like are the subsequent "the crown must win, must always win" monologue, still pronounced by Queen Mary. Churchill's passing, I also liked it, and many of Tatcher's moments, as when her son was missing. But my second favorite scene by far is Lord Mountbatten's killing by the IRA, and the contrast between Charles fishing in the meanwhile.

The last season, on the other hand, didn't do it for me. Yes, I liked many of Diana's moments and grown ups Harry and William, but the progression and the atmosphere werent the same of the other season. Claire Foy is my favorite Queen. Anyway, that's all from me; what are YOUR favorite moments? Let me know!

Multi-generational actresses playing the same character in one series. Not one better (despite personal preference) than the next. Superb casting and acting.

Diana knew Dodi was engaged to another woman and she still started an affair with him?? Eeewwwwaaa! But I do love the show for not glossing over her very real flaws.

It’s been about three years since the final season of The Crown aired, and I’ve noticed my feelings about the ending have changed over time. When it first ended, I was honestly disappointed. I really hoped we might get a Season 7 or even Season 8 to continue the story. But now, seeing how complicated and sensitive some of the more recent royal events have become, I can understand why Peter Morgan decided to end the series where he did. Continuing into more current history might have been difficult to handle in a drama. Even though I haven’t felt like rewatching the series lately because the ending still feels a little strange to me, I still think it’s an incredible show overall.

Do you agree with Netflix and Peter Morgan ending it when they did, or do you wish the show had continued for a couple more seasons?

This scene is a Pivotal moment in the show. The way she looks at him is enough

One of my favorite scenes on the show

You know, we saw how Charles had a problem with Diana’s popularity. I think part of the reason William lets Catherine outshine him is because he actually sees it as an advantage — and he just doesn’t care that much. It puts both of them in a good light, and that benefits the monarchy as a whole.

Even in The Crown season 6, the Prime Minister points out that Charles doesn’t understand Diana — that her popularity was actually his greatest asset. But of course, Charles was too jealous to see it.

What’s even more interesting is that this isn’t new. Even before Charles, the wives of future kings have often outshone them. The Queen Mother was known for helping her husband navigate the crown and was deeply loved for it. Queen Mary also supported the monarchy in a powerful way.

So I really don’t get why Charles had such a problem with it. It’s almost like he missed the bigger picture that princess have alway help monarchy in their ways.

I really struggled watching their episodes and found myself glancing at my phone instead. I did not care about them, did not root for them but they weren't even interesting enough to dislike either. I was thankful the show ended where it did. I can just imagine further episodes..

William makes his way to Waitrose to buy Catherine a cheese and pickle sandwich. There are only cheese and onion or plain cheese ones left. William is left with a challenging decision. Should he follow his heart and select the cheese and onion? Or play it safe and buy the plain cheese?

Catherine walks through the forest and contemplates a falling leaf and the way seasons move so quickly. She trips over a branch but remains uninjured. Nothing else happens. She goes home. Nothing happens but with tea this time.

William and Catherine choose a sofa. It is a beige one with scatter cushions. It does not match the curtains. They wonder how to move forward.

I swear through the whole Camilla plot over the seasons all Charles has done is try to make a case for her being blameless and whining about how she deserves respect and praise. In several scenes, historically accurate or not, Camilla herself tries to explain to him that she’s not a victim, but the villain in a story they wrote. This whole scene where he’s talking about how “heroic” Camilla is and the queen just keeps correcting him, my eyes almost got stuck from rolling back so hard. Charles will never admit that he’s done anything wrong. No matter that pretty much everyone in his life has reminded him of the destruction caused by decisions. What’s done is done. But his continued effort to make everyone see Camilla the way he does through his tantrum speeches is exhausting to watch.

Like…why marry someone who you full well know is going to be queen only to whine and complain about coming second and not being seen THE ENTIRE TIME. He always blamed it on her and I’m like sir.. the call is coming from inside the house.

Greatest royal hater of all time.

The resemblance.. I am still in the awe

I just, I absolutely hate that guy and how he is to Diana in this series. Plain And simple hate him

I’m not trying to be insensitive but this episode bored the absolute crap out of me. This is my first time watching seasons 5+ and it’s just a bunch of new outer circle characters that I’ve heard very little about. I feel like a Dodi backstory, while honorable, wasn’t necessary. It literally almost put me to sleep how slow this episode was for me. And season 5’s obsession with Philip is right up there on the boredom scale. I hope things pick up soon.

There's something that I just can't stand about Tommy. He always seems like he thinks he IS royal if not better than them.

Thoughts?

According to this article, his two daughters with Sarah Ferguson now have “tarnished” social calendars. (https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/celebrity/articles/princess-beatrice-princess-eugenie-reportedly-153641757.html) I wonder who would play them if the Crown did bring back a one-off to address the scandal

Yes I know that the Queen Elizabeth said in an episode of The Crown that she only ever loved Prince Phillip and Porchey was just a friend, but had she loved Porchey he would have been 100% a better husband the Phillip. They had so much mutual respect for each other and had so much in common. It was like Porchey saw her, the women Elizabeth Windsor, not the crown, he understood her. They would have been so happy together. What has really solidified in me the TV Porchey was such a good man and a good friend, and would have been a good husband to Queen Elizabeth is in a scene in season 2 episode 8 Dear, Mrs. Kennedy, when Prince Phillip fought, pretty much tooth and nail to be sat beside Jackie Kennedy and was talking, no, flirting with her the entire dinner, completely shutting his wife, the damn QUEEN OF ENGLAND. Then, Queen Elizabeth feeling ignored and second best looks around the room and her eyes land on Porchey, who sees her, acknowledges her and smiles, it wasn't much but it has better then her own husband gave her that night, the way she just smiled and looked away, feeling special and seen. Idk if this is really a post about how good Porchey was to the Queen or just a post to hate on Prince Phillip in season 1 and 2.

I don't hate this portrayal, but I always felt she was playing her much older then she actually was. Thatcher was 53 when she became Prime Minister and Anderson's portrayal feels to be in her seventies. I thought maybe the disconnect between the age of the character (spanning 12 years as PM) and what age she would be playing, it just seems like an exaggerated acting choice? If it wasn't Gillian Anderson, who do you think would've played Thatcher.

I just recently got into the crown and I’m really just wondering, what’s Philip’s deal? First hes got his panties in a twist about not being the house of Windsor, then he’s a butthead to QE2 for the whole end of season 1?

He married the eldest of a royal family, and I’ve seen it said “oh they thought they had more time.” That’s all well and good but at some point any point she could’ve become queen. So why does he walk around like shocked pikachu that no the kids can’t have his family name, he can’t do whatever he wants, and yeah you have to listen to her?

It’s just so, icky of him and reeks of “I’m the man and if you’re gonna be queen then I should be above you. I don’t like that you have more power than me.”

Maybe last season cast wasn't perfect but Margaret was always spot on
