Oh, there is one thing for sure in this world, and that is that politicians would love to be Kings and Queens, they would sell their soul if necessary, that huge smile doesn't surprise me at all, even if it seems like she had anti-monarchist convictions. One of the reasons why I am a monarchist is precisely because I despise politicians, and the monarchy (in my case the Spanish one) reminds them that they are limited, that they are temporary and they cannot go further no matter how much they want to because there are things bigger and more important than them with their enormous egos and populism.
@@ThomasTrain-lo2xh The irony of her being anti-monarchist yet she takes a CBE and revels in the title given to her bastard husband. Hypocrisy of the highest order!!
I got to be honest this is probably the weirdest season out of the whole series. We had ghosts, dream sequences of prime ministers becoming Kings, and a queen talking to her past selves. Don't get me wrong, I loved every second of it (even though some of it felt a little bit rushed) but it's definitely a sharp contrast to the rest of the seasons which were for the most part incredibly grounded.
I know right? We went to wacky backy town in this season...I guess they didn't know how else to pad out the season since they didn't want to depict the Harry/Megan drama and Elizabeth's actual death in the series lol.
I love the idea that Elizabeth dreamed up this insanity was because the mere idea of Blair becoming the first president of a Republican Britain was just THAT unfathomable to her.
This scene is genius. Especially when the choir boy starts singing and the rest joins in with full enthusiasm. But nothing beats King Tony's smirk. I love it. 🙌🏻
Do you know what beats his smirk? The thud when he hit the basement years later. That's when the Queen realized that PMs come and go but the people always loved her.

The royal family wearing all black with distraught faces, not even muttering the words "God save the King" as King Tony walks past with a smirk on his face, is exactly the sort of nightmares I'd imagine the Queen would have lol.
Charles, QM, and Margaret were in shock, William and Harry were speechless. Philip was undeniably angry, seeing how his lilibet worked so hard, did her duty without complain, and with so much grace, and yet had been deposed by her own people, with her family dynasty extinguished in her generation. Just guessing what they’re thinking.

At this time the royal family were very unpopular because some people thought they had Diana killed (among other things). The queen and Tony Blair never really got on.
