I've been to the northeastern part of the country they mentioned and loved it. Though I do see the writing issues with this episode. I was trying to find filming location and apparently the Queen Mother buying the castle and the Queen's tour were in entirely separate years (and even the statue unveiling was another year). I wonder how late in the writing process they decided to put all of these things in one episode - because the Queen Mother's speech would fit a lot better if it was earlier in Elizabeth's reign (she bought the castle in 1952, the same year her husband died).Katie Hart - Pinterest Managerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14892763965326103296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-61943283588097967232020-04-29T10:49:31.203-04:002020-04-29T10:49:31.203-04:00Something was bothering me during the Scottish sce...Something was bothering me during the Scottish scenes and I couldn't out my finger on it, but you got it exactly. The Queen Mother whining about not having enough to do is directly at odds with her running away to Scotland and leaving Margaret to make a mess of things.<br /><br />Loved the newsman handing over the film. What would be the chances today??ChrisBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10843864158239536750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-4704073100885485292017-05-30T03:15:03.931-04:002017-05-30T03:15:03.931-04:00I love that article!

And how charming to know that she watches with her son and daughter-in-law, who have a Netflix account, and that she also occasionally binges.<br /><br />My problems with this particular episode are artistic; they by no means reflect on my opinion of the royals.<br /><br />They say that much of success in life is based simply on showing up, but we sometimes forget how difficult showing up can be. And Queen Elizabeth has done it for decades.Victoria Grossackhttp://www.tapestryofbronze.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-78623283235380062542017-05-27T22:47:40.802-04:002017-05-27T22:47:40.802-04:00I kept thinking during the tour scenes that Elizab...I kept thinking during the tour scenes that Elizabeth must have been constantly reminded of being told her father had died during the last one. And I have to admire her for being determined to keep every appointment and not disappoint anyone, no matter how difficult it was. <br /><br />I just saw an article that says, reportedly, Queen Elizabeth really likes <i>The Crown</i>. That's delightful. <br /><br /><a href="http://www.vulture.com/2017/05/queen-elizabeth-reportedly-quite-likes-the-crown.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.vulture.com/2017/05/queen-elizabeth-reportedly-quite-likes-the-crown.html</a>Billie Douxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17141769005175631213noreply@blogger.com
