Do you talk to yourself?
From time to time, when I am too tired or too thoughtful
Yes, it helps me to sort out my problems. I don’t do it in front of people though coz they’d ridicule me. They’d have to so as people wouldn’t suspect them doing the same thing. Everybody does it, don’t they?🤣
Absolutely! All the time! It's beyond helpful....just have to remember to talk yourself like you would to any other friend!
Yes but when i do, its always in my own mind and the response i get far supersedes any intelligence i currently possess which leads me to believe its a higher power or what some would say in certain spiritual circles, my higher self tying to coax me back onto the right path. I have a sutter/ stammering problem when i talk. When i search for guidance in talking to myself in mind thoughts, its my voice but no stuttering at all. Very fluid and articulate.
almost all the time
I love how Claire somehow comes off as older and wiser than Imelda. The old Elizabeth is "the little girl" whereas the young Elizabeth is the queen. Great acting by them both.
I think it’s the hair and makeup of Claire
Claire's version hasn't carried the burden for so long, and she isn't as weighed down with regrets. Hard to believe that she would remain queen for another 17 years after Charles & Camilla got married.
I disagree I think her youth shines through in her words but that youth has it's own kind of wisdom....Claire sees Imelda as being in her prime because she sees the version of herself she strove to become as queen. She is able to speak about the secret feeling of being better at the job because she is not burdened by the need to disguise one's thoughts and feelings that happens as we get older
I had never heard of Claire before this series. What a great actress. 🎉
I had never heard of Claire before this!! 🎉
Glad they brought Claire Foy back. She was my favorite of the “Elizabeths”
I know
She made Elizabeth more likeable
I like all three of the actresses who played Queen Elizabeth. However Olivia Coleman was the queen that was most impactful to me. As previously mentioned Claire Foy and Imelda Stanton are great in their own right. ❤
@@tracylarson1935 Absolutely agree. They’re all fabulous.
It's unfair to compare them bc Claire's Elizabeth was also the only one who was the main character, seasons 1 and 2 are about her. The rest of the show gives more spotlight to her children, grandchildren and Diana
"Upon consultation with the only person I can respect, I have decided to remain your Sovereign to the end."
Her integrity was unmatched. I have so much respect for her.
@@PhantomDrums917👍🏻❤️
Impeccable scene with impeccable acting!
I'm glad she never abdicated. She was TRUE to her oath.
I never thought she would abdicate either, not after living through her uncle's abdication!
UNCLE DAVID, EAT YOUR HEART OUT!
If she did, imagine how bad would it be when Charles and Camilla's incident happened, definitely more disastrous.....
@@8August1988 Yeah, he wouldn't have lasted for 70 years the way she did. what with his smoking like a fucking chimney!
Her oath was to be of service, not necessarily to be queen. When she took the oath she was a princess and expected to remain so for quite some time. She could have abdicated and remained of service. There were strong reasons not to do so, but the oath itself did not really stand in the way, or at least should not have.
I have grown very fond of this scene, as it emotionally shows the surrealistic experience of looking back on your younger self and realising how much time actually has passed.
The scene demonstrates self-reflection ("Have you forgotten the oath you took?"), self-pity ("What about the life I put aside?"), self-motivation ("I see you as liberated, confident...) and, with a heavy heart, self-acceptance ("For years now, there has been just one Elizabeth.").
At some point in our lives, we have to accept the fact that some things will be left undone and the fact that some things will never be the same as before, since one is not the same as before ("If you went looking for Elizabeth Windsor, you wouldn't find her. She's gone."). The scene is the perfect demonstration of such awareness.
Yooooooooooo, such a beautiful writting. I use to read comments in the expectation of finding good ones but this one goes straight to the heart. Thank you.
Beautifully put analysis
Yeah this never happened your Americans really need to stop thinking this show is based on true events when it's not
@@Breeanna73 Nobody in this comment claimed that this really happened. The commenter merely reflected on the scriptwriting and what we as individuals can take away from it.
Also, how would you know the commenters nationality?
@@Breeanna73you understood nothing from his comment and analysis 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
When Claire says “she’s gone. Long gone. You buried her years ago” my life stood still. She said everything I’ve felt about myself for such a long time 😔
Me too. A chill ran down my spine when Claire spoke those words.
"But what about the life I put aside, the woman I put aside when I became queen?"
I felt that in spirit.
Unlike the royals we have the luxury of picking up our lives after we leave them behind. They don’t
Self-denial is a "dreadful thing to inflict upon oneself: it's not kind and it's not fair."
I reckon we all have a life we did not live.
Kharma pays off sooner or later.
To get through life in the this wretched wicked world you have to love yourself tremendously, immensely, above anything and anyone.
This scene and the Queen Mother letter to her in season 1 about her having to mourn the death of Elizabeth monbatten. Would make a perfect trailer for the whole show.
Claire Foy really set a high bar.
A minor detail (1:35) that I like about this mental conversation is her voice doesn't fade as she gets farther away, nor does it echo.
"You seem to thrive in it and most importantly it seems to thrive under you" truer words have never been spoken.
“What kind of question is that?” Profoundly spoken
Sort of question, not kind.
“I declared before you all, with my whole life whether it be long or short shall be devoted to your service”
Love how both actresses as the (late) Queen Elizabeth II saying the powerful monarch speech in unison was amazing. Another one is understandable; “you’re fit enough to ride and drive so you’re fit enough to wear the crown”
Claire was why I loved this show.
Her eyes are so beautiful.
I only watched when she was on it. I could not think about what happened to Princess Diana 💙
What a powerful scene. Young Elizabeth gives her older self a stern talking to, a reminder of when she was stronger in her convictions. It makes sense, because young Elizabeth saw her life swallowed by the crown, and she learned in no uncertain terms that she had no choice in the matter.
This is SUCH a deep and absolutely perfect scene as it honors the Queen's tremendous sacrifices she made in her life! One of the overarching themes in The Crown is the tremendous struggle between Elizabeth Windsor and Elizabeth Regina. And throughout the series, we see Elizabeth choose Regina over Windsor time and time again. In this absolutely beautiful scene, we finally see just how much of a personal toll constantly choosing "The Crown" took on her. When the older queen begins to mourn and lament how much she has personally lost of herself for the crown...we then see the younger queen's response is to mourn with her but also to affirm to the older queen (and us too) that she understood and knew that they had sacrificed ALL of themselves for the Crown's sake...just a beyond beautiful tribute....
Yes Matthew, in order to be the monarch she felt the United Kingdom (UK) needed, Queen Elizabeth II sacrificed a personal & ordinary life - i.e. the ability to just simply be one’s own self since her early twenties - which many of us simply take for granted.
A masterclass in acting from two powerhouse actresses! Beautifull scene.
Dame Imedla and Clare Foy were absolutely wonderful together.
This has become one of my most favorite scenes from Crown. Younger self reminding present day self the core motivation to move forward and do not lose track of sight where you may take your next step reaching the end goal.
"Go the Distance"

And I think I can speak for all of us fans...that Claire's final cameo was just as amazing and heart-warming and special to us as her others so much were too! 😊👍
The 4th wall break at 2:40, brilliant. ”I didn’t say that”.
She didn’t have to.
I love this scene. One of the best written and acted in the whole series.
Such an eloquent self dialogue. May God bless the Queen. You stabilized not just the England but the world.
Yes Wei-Wang, in order to be the monarch she felt the United Kingdom (UK) needed, Queen Elizabeth II sacrificed a personal & ordinary life - i.e. the ability to just simply be one’s own self since her early twenties - which many of us simply take for granted.
@@8August1988 she is called to be the queen. We are called to find ourselves. Haha
There will never be another like this great faithful woman
Claire Foy was the reason why I watched the first 2 seasons of this show in one go.
This is why none of us wanted Charles to be king. Or anyone else, really.
The Queen had the job nailed down. The rest of them just run around like headless spoiled chickens for the most part.
Yet King Charles has not put a foot wrong.
He's done fine as King so far
if Charles had even an ounce of common sense, he would have refused the Crown, given it to his oldest son. No one respects Charles. No one wants Camilla. Everyone knows he only took the Crown to make Camilla a "Queen."
Anne?
I love the way Claire speaks when she starts with “what sort of question is that?”
Claire Foy's performance in this scene is just stellar!
This scene has a certain reality for people all. There is always a time of reflection and reckoning that we must endure as we ponder the decisions made in youth and effects threreof on our senior selves.
She really was the most responsible woman to ever walk on this earth
And watching over us all from her well-deserved place in the front rank of humans in heaven.
@@marchellabrahamsnope. 1 John 3:6-10 KJV
There is NO respect of persons with God. None.
Read your bible
@ Thank you, I do. But since man is one down from the angels, you have just demolished your own argument.
Claire Foy will always be my favorite Queen Elizabeth out of Olivia Colman and Imelda Staunton. Nothing personal against the other two actresses, but is just that Foy's portrayal was a defining aspect of the series.
Not only that but she managed to balance very well between the historial accuracy and the dramatic storytelling of the series.
I also think Claire played the version of Queen Elizabeth that people are least familiar with. There’s so little footage of her life compared to later years and many of us were alive then. We got to see that Elizabeth with fresh eyes through Claire’s performance whereas Olivia and Imelda had the burden of playing Elizabeth at stages that we’ve become all too familiar with.
Claire should have won an award for this cameo alone.
The casting in this show was so good
You know, I'm not a monarchist by any means but these clips keep showing up on my feed and I've watched a few. This seems very well done - I love Imelda Staunton. Perhaps I should watch
I’m not massively either, it’s brilliant. Couldn’t recommend it enough
Yet Queen Elizabeth said the show was garbage and she was right
@@Breeanna73 Well, if QE said this then she of all people would know - this show is after all about HER. "Garbage"? well again she would know - QE should have somehow gotten some of those many many "garbage" scandals from her children and husband settled! Sad.
I am a monarchist, and I can tell you that if you do watch the series, remember that a lot of it is speculation and interpretation. For instance, the scenes between the Queen and the dying Duke of Windsor. Only the two of them were present and there is no way to know what was said. Enjoy it as well-done television, but do not assume what you see really happened.
Brilliant writing for this scene and in my opinion acted to perfection.
I'm an American, by birth. But when I heard if the Queen's passing, I cried. She was a symbol of stability & leadership for more than the UK. Her son will never achieve that. Her grandson might. May she RIP.
Huh? I didn't. The only sad thing was that there was another parasite waiting in line to feed at the trough.
I was in my dorm at the time. I knew she passed early on based off body language from BBC. I assume she passed around morning to early noon to give family time to mourn privately until they made announcements publicly. Strangely everything outside felt like a bright light has shine with a rainbow on my way to class during that time of the day. It was late noon when it occurred. Rip Queen Liz.
I'm Australian by birth and I remember waking up the early hour of the morning when she was taken ill to been declared dead I was crying. We All were for a Queen Grandmother we all knew.
@@rawyld You;re a shame to your country.
@@timlynch5710 Then you really need to go get a parasite check because you're the only parasite
I always thought the future self of someone was supposed to give their past self some insight or self motivation. But the other way around, like right here, can be just as compelling. An Emmy for Claire Foy right here.
Remember it's all fake and Written by American writers that know absolutely nothing about the Royals
@@Breeanna73 LoL 😆 😆 Nice try. Thank goodness we have a great republic and a great democracy and someday hopefully you'll DUMP THOSE ROYALS!! COME ON YOU CAN DO IT!! HOLD ON TO YOUR MONEY!
The acting + this *music* is phenomenal
I wish she could know just how much she is loved and missed by pretty much the entire world. As an American, she was not my queen, but because of who she was it always felt like she was.
I am from Indonesia 🇮🇩 and for me she was THE QUEEN.
I miss her Christmas messages.
That was an excellent scene by 2 great actors
Im an indigenous person from an old british colony, but even i have to admit QE2 was the best thing to happen to the British monarchy. It wont be the same looking down at our money and not seeing her face.
I once had that uncomfortable conversation with myself. It was 2 summers ago and I remember it well. I didn’t like what I had to tell myself but I guess I needed to hear it ( or maybe I was in the midst of a nervous breakdown I can’t be sure). Regardless I reminded myself that I wasn’t getting any younger and that I needed to get it together, get myself out of my mess and do what I always did, find a way. Not sure which “me” I talked to but he had some good advice that I took.
❤ absolutely love this scene..!! Every moment is emotional to the core.
This makes me want to hug her 🥺 she sacrificed so much. When she became queen there was still an empire to rule and she took responsibility. 😢
There could be many of these inner dialogs between the Elizabeths and I think I'd never get tired of them.
This is so absolutely heavy. I remember when she forced herself to see her father passed away and accept the crown.
Their difference in accents is a good thing they did, considering the late Queen did level her own speech later on in life. Also, older Elizabeth sits in a similar way as Prime Ministers often did for the weekly audience as her younger self (Claire) advises from the usual position.
they made Claire look so old fashioned with her hair and outfit i actually believed they went back in time with her😭😭
Excellent performance by both actresses. Love this scene
I'd watch the whole series just for this scene.
Elizabeth Windsor died up in a tree in Africa. The woman who came down from that tree was Elizabeth Regina
It's only when she dies that Elizabeth Regina found Elizabeth Windsor again when they stand on either side of the Queen's coffin. A simple salute in uniform and a small smile is all that's needed to be said from her.
When the Crown got it right it was really very special.
It's hard to say because we vary in opinions... Time tables and facts are what earnestly matter! If there are missing pieces to specific events we cannot just fill in these blanks or the true story goes askew. I have seen bits of The Crown and some is true but some is added or filled in - so the viewers have to decide.
This scene is so powerfully wonderfully written and acted and filmed
*Amazing scene!*
I personally believe that the only way that soul of young Princess Elizabeth Windsor could have been prevented from
being snuffed out by the soul of the older Queen Elizabeth Windsor would have been if George VI had lived longer.
Not having the full weight of the crown on her head (and her mother's meddling -- the Queen Mum being almost
too young to have been retired to the dowager role) would have made life easier for both Philip and Elizabeth.
*I do not think that the public would have accepted Camilla as queen if HMTQ had stepped down at the age portrayed*
*in this scene of "The Crown"* (There are some people who still dislike Camilla; but many have come to accept her, or
have become indifferent) It is true that the current monarchy (Charles and Camilla) is a geriatric monarchy and it will
probably not be missed by many. It isn't because Charles and Camilla are old, per se. The young people do not relate
to them; the older people remember HMTQ. She was a tough act to follow.
George VI being blessed with a longer life also would have been better for Charles (and Anne). It would have been much
better for them to have their parents more in their lives when they were very young. Once a child is at boarding school
(early teens nowadays) it is too late to form a deep bond with them.
I am very thankful that Charles has been encouraging Catherine and William to spend as much time with their children
as possible. Although, I think that putting the children's needs first; without spoiling them, comes natural to Catherine;
she is an excellent mother!
She embodied something modern people reject way too easily: abnegation.
and DUTY. She made a vow and kept until her dying day, just like her namesake who declared she was married to England.
What is abnegation?
@@jonnnyren6245 Abnegation is an act of letting go of the self as with altruistic abstinence - the willingness to forgo personal pleasures or undergo personal trials in the pursuit of the increased good of another.
Sure, the woman who was draped in jewels stolen from others and rode in a golden carriage and sat on a golden throne. Ok.
@@candicemcandrews2110 if in a golden cage you only see the abundance of gold and not the absence of freedom it's clearly because you personally value the former rather than the latter... which pretty much sounds like a you problem honestly.
This was a beautifully scene on so many levels, but one of the things that truly give it it's poignancy was the beautiful line touching on the sacrifice of self that began the moment she put on the crown. There was only one Elizabeth now. Queen Elizabeth.
I personally think that having the two previous portrayers of Elizabeth II interacting with Imelda Staunton is a brilliant idea!
Old Queen at 3:24 "No i cannot stay"
young Queen "And why is that?"
Old Queen "because I'm hallucinating. I think i have stage one dementia. Or schizophrenia."
Got me thinking what our younger selves would say to us if they could come back to speak to us like this scenario
This scene is exquisitely written and acted. The dialogue perfectly sums up what monarchy is. It isn't something that can be picked up or put down. The Queen understood this perfectly, hence her long and exceptional reign, and why she was and always will be so well loved and respected. I consider it an honour that i got to witness well over half of her reign.
I do love Claire Foy!
Vanessa Kirby and Helena Bonham Carter be like: 👁💧👄💧👁
Two ladies.where very good. One was perfect..That was Clair.
.
So great they could get Claire to come back. ❤
They make a woman like this once in a century. Even as an American, I cannot help but be awed by her life.
Umbridge being Undersecretary of the Ministry of magic into the Queen herself is Awesome
Simply brilliant writing and acting
I love how claire foye is in black and white like colors to show the difference between eras
She did exactly that, she handed her crown to an elderly king.
In _The King's Speech_ , findable in YT with "Margaret curtseys", there's this heart stopping moment where Princess Elizabeth (Freya Wilson) while curtseying to her father (Colin Firth) the new George VI, and the look on Elizabeth's face is just "I know, I'm next, and it's alright".
In a way, it is this episode that concludes the "Charles & Diana" chapter in Elizabeth's life. Diana rests in peace, and her presumptive successor Charles is finally married to his dream wife. And then she decides to stay in office - true to her great promise to serve her kingdom for life. And Charles has to wait another 17 years for the crown - serves him right.
Charles will still make a mess of it, even as a geriatric!
And when he does, he gets cancer. Life wouldn't let up on him.
I think he is doing well so far. I love his emphasis on the environment, sustainability, and historical preservation.
There are 3 scenes that really stand out to me. This is one of them. I cannot stop watching it. Even if it is an imagined series about real peoole, I still feel there's the smallest bit of truth to it that perhaps she once had a conversation with herself which led to her sticking to her conviction to remain queen til the end!
My goodness, Claire Foy is so beautiful!
i am my dad's oldest and he died three days after my 23r birthday. for all that talk about being the eldest girl, i actually felt (and still feel) the weight of being his heir. everyone thinks i wear my grief well but the truth is that when you have a responsibility to others grief becomes your closest companion and you're greatest motivator. so yeah, elizabeth is very different from the rest of the family.
Imelda Staunton said that Claire Foy set the bar impossibly high. What a compliment.❤
The Queen is obviously a timelord talking with her past incarnations.
Claire is haunting in that final dialogue.
Yo AMO esta serie. Ese capítulo final es una declaración de amor, del más puro amor, por parte de Peter Morgan hacia la figura de la reina, y en particular, hacia la reina Isabel II. Tenía la esperanza de ir a Londres para conocerla en 2026, pero ahora solo podré presentarle mis respetos en su tumba.
What a tremendous show.
Wow thanks for posting this. Such a powerful scene. Ive been watching clips, but have yet to view the series.
As an outsider, i think she became more like her ownself, i.e. became more Elizabeth Windsor, in her final years of reign. Possibly, her permission to the wedding of Charles and Camilla was a turning point, as shown in this final episode. Her sense of humour, which she showed more as "Nation's Grandma" figure in certain meetings with average people, collected a great sympathy from all over the world.
This was also the wish of her people in modern times. They did not want a God-like sovereign, who shows no emotions in critical situations (remember her meeting with Harold Wilson after Aberfan disaster in this series), rather they wanted a more human sovereign, who try to lead a normal life as much as possible. So being a sovereign is a job rather than a title nowadays (as it should be) and i also observe this in her successors.
Some of the dialogue captured this, how -- especially after the death of her mother -- she became her own person, more relaxed. It was clear from her demeanor, in her voice, and in her acceptance of Camilla (in contrast to her rejection of Peter Townsend).
I enjoyed watching The Crown.There is a sound effect that can be heard at 2:17 - 2:21 and 2:42 - 2:45; would anyone happen to know what it's called? I feel like I've heard it from another series or something along those lines and would be interested to know the name of it.
The Queen had a lonely life- always the Crown first- how difficult the life she led but she was damn great at it!
I'm hoping you post the Queen great finale speech during Charles and Camila wedding. No one has posted that scene.
One the series I am happy I finished and one of the few I am also, sad it is over. And will remember for years to come!
Hard to take in this scene. It means she knows she is going.
„They ALL seem to make such a mess of it.“
Starting with the divorced, philandering king married to a courtesan, who now must be called queen.
I like to think the Queen never abdicated to spare Charles the stress of having to rule as long as she had
I love this scene. It's beautiful and tragic. While I'm not a staunch monarchist at all, I do think this scene reflects a bigger reality about the monarchy that many republicans forget - they complain about the Royal Family's privilege and status. But they forget that the monarch in particular lives in a gilded cage. The Queen - now the King - is not free. The monarch is not an individual. They are a kind of gilded slave; they are owned by the state, by the people. As the young Queen says, it's a cruel system to visit on anyone. It's not a lottery win. It's a fateful golden leash.
@kuribojim3916. You made some very good points here - however the UK is constantly complaining about the royal family. In the end it's either dump them or accept them. Makes ya wonder if the UK wants a strong republic and a stable democracy ?
@@JoanMorrison-vq2jc To some extent I do understand the complaints. We often complain about what we know. And in an era of inflation and downturn of living standards, it’s easy to see how the Royal family’s wealth and privilege makes them a target. I think many of the criticisms are valid. But I do wonder if, given the choice, people would choose to sacrifice freedom for wealth. It may sound like an obvious choice but I’d say it’s anything but.
Claire Foy is a natural born queen.
Beautiful sene this sene is truth
I'm guessing that QE wants to go back in time and rescue herself somehow. We only get one life and QE had to put herself aside. Maybe her old self really was "buried". She is probably screaming for her own individuality!!! Sad. 😢
And the younger self is seeming to point out the harsh truth: even if QE went back in time, to warn herself, her younger self would still have chosen to stay Queen. That's who she is, even with those moments of wishing for a normal life.
She once said that she’d be happy to just be an old lady with her horses and her dogs. Having seen her twice on the horse show circuit, she seemed at once so normal and so alight. Full of smiles. It struck me as seeing her in her natural habitat.
Beautiful illustration of the internal conflict HRH endured during her reign.
HM
3:30 🥺🥺🥺
You can’t really say she was liberated after the Queen Mother’s death when they just breezed past her death
But in real life, I think she was. The last 20 years of her reign were the best I think
I think the last 20 years of her reign were the best. She did seem liberated after the Queen Mother died
This is the greatest series about the English monarchy that has ever been..... I've never seen an instance where it was so to the truth as in the scene.
I am very sure that Queen Elizabeth II would have given two thumbs up for this scene.
She was the greatest monarch that ever lived on the planet Earth ever greatest greater than Louis XIV greater than all of the other monarchs except for Queen Elizabeth the first who was her rival and was also one of the greatest monarchs that ever lived
Love this scene!
Amazing scene ❤
Literally me when the voices get a bit too loud.
The best scene. Btw I wondered why she didn’t sign these letters. Then I guessed it was a respectful thing to make Claire Foy not to use this signature even for the scene to be more realistic.
Today I just realized that I am a middle aged woman. I have more time behind me than in front. I have lived to be 25 twice. Hopefully I can do it till I'm at least 80 with all my mind intact.
