"All it takes it for something worse to come along, and you realize it was actually happiness after all."
That line hit me so hard when I first heard it. It's true.
Me also. I never watched this series. That line is powerful
Or it was bad, but simply not as bad 😅
"All it takes it for something worse to come along, and you realize it was actually happiness after all."
This would make for a painfully suitable title for my autobiography.
My mom always quoted, "There's nothing so bad in life that it can't get worse." Be happy for what you have.
It’s a very profound truth.
I love the story of how Jackie found Prince Philip sitting on the floor, keeping young John company after the funeral. Despite his brusque front, that was the sign of a kind and thoughtful man.
The husband of the Queen of England playing and consoling the child of an assassinated US president. Kind of a rare occurrence.

"I want them to see what they did to Jack" - Jackie Kennedy after being asked if she wanted to change clothed
“I want them to see what they have done to Jack” but yes, that’s basically it. Lotta commenters have it wrong.
"They are still controlling Washington DC".
lol you're the type of guy that people would rather not be around. @@sethd6485
60 years later and they still haven't been held accountable
@@shaunsteele6926 no they never will be
You know that Prince Philip travel to Washington D.C. for the state funeral of President Kennedy. As The Queen couldn’t go, as she was pregnant with her 4th child.
Prince Philip played on the floor with John jr because the 4 year old could not find his Daddy.
@@AnnaBellaChannelJohn was three. His third birthday was the day of his father’s funeral.
@@joanreynolds955that's messed up.
You mean the new Duke of Edinburgh?
@@mandypham2665 No, Prince Edward The former Earl of Wessex now the current Duke of Edinburgh was not born yet. Prince Edward was born on 10 March 1964. Prince Philip The Duke of Edinburgh went to funeral because his wife the late Queen was pregnant with her 4th child e.g Prince Edward.
My god the writing was so smart. "No i think it was deliberate" and it makes you rethink every scene!! Both Jackie and Elizabeth are powerful figures on screen, so this makes so much sense.
you do know it was deliberate - Mrs Kennedy insisted on wearing that suit until they were back at the White House - nonetheless less - the writing is good 🇨🇦🙏
It was deliberate, apparently Jackie said she wanted those who had perpetrated that crime to see what they had done.
@@michaelhayden725 Yes I know that.... The point was this is Elizabeth saying it before that interview/confirmation. meaning she understood Jackie's actions as they are huge female figures. This episode had both ladies talk about their exposure in media and how they long for a private one. but at the end of it, they know what their job is and how to control the media.
Jackie wasn’t
@@The_king567 First lady of the united states at that time that was treated like a celebrity??? Sure.
They're very precise. She couldn't get the car door open, the Secret Service had to do it, I remember thinking how exhausted she must be.
Actually, the car was a Pontiac
Although I was quite young, I remember her getting off the plane and into the car.
The Secret Service SHOULD have had the door open and waiting for her. It was a direct INSULT that they didn't do that automaticaslly. Remember--even if she wasn't First lady--this was the age when men opened doors for woman...
Different model cars, it is common for not figuring out how the door handle works sometimes, especially back then and by a woman.
@@T121TIt being a different car model and her being a woman had nothing to do with it and it’s disgusting that you’d even say that about women, even back then! It WAS because she just watched her husband get his brains blown out the back of his head after being shot in the face! She climbed onto the trunk to try to retrieve pieces of his brain because in her shocked state she thought that could help. She held her dead husband in her lap until they got to the hospital. She was in complete and total shock, the trauma of his violent death didn’t have her in her usual state of mind! Put yourself in her shoes, if all the same things happened to you, you would be in such a daze that even opening a car door would cause you trouble!
My father was on his way to Germany where he was stationed with the U.S. Army and my mother and I accompanied him there. We stopped in the UK to visit my mothers family and had to travel the day that everyone found out that Kennedy was dead. My parents said it was a surreal experience traveling from England to Germany that day. All the shops were closed and they couldn't buy milk for me. It was as if Europe was holding its breath.
With good reason there was a faction that thought the Soviets were behind it and they wanted to strike back which would of turned most of Europe into a desert.
Thank you for sharing that story. 🇬🇧 🇺🇸 were allies for a long time but 🇩🇪 the wounds were still healing. JFK represented a change and a new era.
I didn’t realize shops were closed in other countries. I remember precisely the moment one of the seniors came to the bus, leaned in and told the driver what happened. It was a long somber time. I was on the bus first with the driver.
@@tm13tube I don't think they were. It was probably more because it already was evening, or Saturday. I mean, Kennedy was shot on a Friday around noon Texas time. That is 7 hours earlier than Central European Time, so if they landed in Germany after Kennedy was shot, it must have been evening and shops were already closed.
Or even more probable... They traveled on Saturday, the day that the news really hit Europe, also due to the time difference, newspapers prints, etc. Back then it was common for shops to be closed on Saturday afternoons (and Sundays), especially in Germany. I don't know about the UK but I'm not surprised if it were similar. I just can't believe people closed their little grocery or dairy shops because of Kennedy being shot. Of course they were fearing the Russians, but how does closing your shop help with that?
Or it was typical for West-Gemany. They were a little more on edge than other European countries of course. But that the whole of Europe closed up because of Kennedy being shot... I just can't believe it. (I'm from a European country next to Germany.)
I will check with my parents. They were teenagers back then. They must remember.
Whenever the assassination was mentioned when I was growing up, my mother would say how she could remember the footage of the plane arriving back in Washington. People were wondering where Mrs Kennedy was, then the cargo bay door opened and there she was, standing with her hand on the coffin.
Can we say photo op?
@NotMykl Over the years I've seen and read many things about those events (for anyone born in the 60s, it's been hard to avoid) and the one thing that stands out from all the controversies is the universal acknowledgement that Mrs Kennedy was devastated by the killing. She refused to leave her husband's side, having to be almost forcibly separated when they arrived at the hospital. She refused to clean up or change her clothes because she wanted the world to see what had happened.
I understand how, in this modern age of hype, spin and "media image" someone may think it was just a photo opportunity, but I am convinced it was the action of a shocked and grieving widow refusing to leave her husband's side.
@@NotMyklperhaps, but I don’t think it was for Jackie Kennedy’s benefit. As seen in similar circumstances, like Princess Diana’s death, there are certain expectations placed on the family.
@@angemaidment5640 Except when her husband died, she stopped being the wife of the president of the USA, because the vice president became the president at that point.
Diana's children didn't stop being royals.
@@NotMykl no. Where else would she have been?
"There is a thing about unhappiness.All it takes is something worst to come along and you realise it was happiness afterall."-A thoughtful line with such deep meaning 💜💜
Not sure Walter Cronkite would have been on the radio. He was a TV news reporter/anchor.
You cut off the best part of the entire sequence. Just as she did for 9/11 she thought about the compassion and respect and had Westminsters bell rung for an a hour.
Did S6 bring this up?
@@falconeshield no, they didn’t mention how she had her band play our national anthem either (I only learned about that watching her funeral coverage)
The Queen also had the guards play
The American national anthem outside
Buckingham Palace.
She also took quite a few days before deciding to lower flags t 3:09 o half mast for Princess Di.
@@justarandomnobody7451 That almost cost her. LOL
This episode is moving from beginning to end. Claire Foy played these scenes to the fullest. One of my favorites of the whole series.
I so very much agree. This is one of the episodes that I return to. It is about perfect from the first moment to the last. The writing and acting is excellence.
Can you imagine how helpless Philip must have felt. The ruler of a world power was killed. How can he protect his wife and family from not even the president could be protected.
I was thinking the same thing. Although rulers in third world countries are often assassinated, for the ruler of a major power such as the us or Great Britain to be assassinated must have been a wake-up call to her and Philip about how they too could easily be taken out in a similar way.
That's true, and his wife The Queen was 5 months pregnant at the time with their youngest child (Edward). Everyone must have felt so vulnerable.
he was well aware of what was going to happen. They're all in the same club.
@@shaunsteele6926no he wasn't. Her Father probably knew of the things occurring though, but he was bound by a constitution. He probably didn't tell his daughter though. It's why he started to deconstruct the empire the year Queen Elizabeth turned 21. The Brits were flat out forced by the US to dissolve their empire, something that brought them enormous influence and wealth. And they had the strength to keep doing it at the time, but the UK didn't. Ask yourself why. No nation has ever done something ”good” out of the kindness of their heart, ESPECIALLY not somewhere as land hungry as the UK. The royals are not included in the club, they are the exhibit. I could be wrong, but so much of the history of the RF has strange coincidences when you see how each successive Sovereign was usurped more and more.
Look into the “Glorious Revolution” if you want to learn more on currency and such. Also the history of the Dutch is important as well. But yeah the bill relating to what you're implying was on Mr Kennedys desk waiting to be signed when he was unalived. But you're right about it once being based in the UK. Because that's where the money was to be made. When the new world entered the industrial revolution I believe certain “people” migrated to America
The Queen did not have enemies at all. President Kennedy had plenty: The Maffia, the CIA Bush, FBI Hoover, The Maffia Bosses, the exhiled Cubans, the Castro Cubans, the USSR leaders, Mao Chinese, the Industrial militarist in the USA, ... and many fathers, brothers, boyfriends and ex-boyfriends (Joe Dimaggio) of the girls JFK seduced.
“Let the word go forth from this time and place that the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans” Every year on the first day of school I use that quote from his inaugural address to illustrate to my students how they have the power to change the world and how Jack had that same hope for young Americans of his day. A man definitely taken way too soon.
Unfortunately that generation elected Trump.
@@t.c.thompson2359 No they didn't. Trump did NOT win the popular vote, neither in 2016 nor in 2020. Through gerrymandering and likely some other chicanery, he won in the Electoral College, and that is how he became President. Luckily, he lost in the Electoral College in 2020. GOD help us in this year.
Oddly, it seems they kept the torch and are loath to pass it along again.
The unending pedagogy of “change.” Why should children believe they are qualified to understand the smallest fragment of the world, let alone to change it?
@@t.c.thompson2359Bravo 👏👏👏
Four generations elected Trump;
Boomers, Gen X, Millennials, Gen Z,
All the races, all the classes. All Amer I cans!

I'm English and when this terrible news came on television (indeed in the evening, as has been said) I was in my teens. We were all terribly shocked and distressed and I rang an American friend who thought I was making some kind of bad joke because she didn't believe me. Over here we all thought it was horrific. We weren't afraid of a war, we just thought something incredibly tragic had happened.
When JFK was assassinated I had just had my 14th birthday (end of October); it was a Friday evening in UK and I was at an evening School activity. At that time of year the sun would be down and the sky dark. Therefore the supposed requirement of HM the Queen to return (to wherever suggested) in broad daylight is total fantasy.
You're a very kind soul.
@@rodmcintosh3149Also, would they be in bed at 7pm? London time. He died at 2pm EST.
I was in 3rd grade (Long Island) & Nov. 22, 1963 is still very clear in my memory.
@@zyxw2024Same age. Suburban Chicago. We were on the playground after lunch and came inside to listen to the radio over the PA and say the rosary (Catholic school) after they announced his death. I remember seeing one of the teachers crying. I had never seen a grown up cry except in movies. I went home and mom and our neighbor were also in tears. I knew little of politics but was vaguely aware we were Republicans. But no one cared about that on that day.
I saw all of this on TV - I remember every movement of Mrs Kennedy's when they got to Washington--the look on her face, Bobby holding. her hand--so long ago but as if it were last week.
My mother talked about that day very often, Despite having dementia towards the end of her life she recalled those days clearly
“I remember that day well, i was in Mrs Karrigans class when Mrs Smith came in yelling ‘The presidents been shot! The president has been shot!’ The whole school was erupted into chaos, i remember seeing Mrs Kennedy in that pink suit and thinking ‘She wants them to see.. she wants them to see what they did to her husband’ and i was right”
I remember it too!!!!
I was in high school. We had a very large school & announcements were made into the classrooms. They told us he had been shot & that the school would close then. I remember walking home (more like a half run) & the brilliant sunshine that had been all morning turned to darkness. It didn’t rain, but turned so chilly. I thought later that it was appropriate as the light had gone out of all of us.
My church had a very large choir of all ages & we were invited to sing at a venue with the Hartford Symphony during a service for the President. I tried not to cry through it. I’ve never seen so many sad, mourning people in my life.
I didn’t know P Phillip had been playing with John. Actually, it was John’s birthday & that makes PP’s act much more moving.
Bobby did more than hold her hand.
When Mrs. Kennedy moved to her first house after leaving the White House, people would visit her new home day and night, some even crying. She became a sombre tourist attraction. This must have been very hard to handle.
She dealt with that the rest of her life. As a friend of John, I knew her well.
I'm sorry to hear that. Of course, such a trauma can never really fade away from one's mind.
3:40 it was deliberate. "I want them to see what they've done to Jack"
When you rhink about it, Jackie Kennedy was a real class act. That woman was stoic.
She had to. The shoulders she had bore a grieving country.
@@falconeshield, I know that. But in watching this scene where even The Queen of England is commenting, makes it so much more
Born of an era when rich ladies had class. Now rich people just have money but are vulgar.
@@martinjenkins6467 Where do your sweeping statements get you? It's the same with all stereotypical thinking...people are individuals, even if many act as if they have no response ability as such, in any era.
@@falconeshieldnah
When we see Claire Foy laughing on interviews ,we can’t even imagine the huge raw talent she has in every project she does ,and I don’t think we have seen her full potential yet !
i just love her..
¨That's the thing aboutt unhappiness, all it takes is for something worst to come along nd you realize it was actually happiness after all¨
so so so soooooo true, pure wisdom
I can't help it: Claire Foy will always be the ultimate Queen Elizabeth for me.
I agree. It was so jarring when they changed her out that I couldn't continue watching it. They didn't even use an actress who looked or sounded similar.
What a wonderful performance. There were none who could venture into that realm thereafter..the replacements in later years could never come close to the Queen.
@@Cafemarlene888agreed!
I haven't even watched this series except for YT clips, and I agree. Also, Emily Blunt will always be Queen Victoria.
I was 14 and at lunch thst day. We came back to class looking forward to Thanksgiving holiday and then this happened. The shock and sadness was overwhelming. No one could believe anyone would do that to a president we all loved. It never occurred to my teenage mind that the queen even cared. I didn't understand fully our allies politically. I still, at 74, find the whole event chaotic, sad and suspicious. To this day no one has solved it.
It was solved long ago. Lee Harvey Oswald, a marxist defector to the ussr, cowardly murdered President Kennedy. Stop listening to conspiracy theories that have never held up to 60 years of objective investigation.
I am nearly as old as you and remember every detail of the moment we were having supper in Germany and heard the first news about the assassination watching tv. Then the screen showed a fountain in Baden Baden. For minutes... It was like the world had stopped turning for a moment... Until some years ago I was always hoping to learn WHO did this. (For sure not H. L. Oswald...) And then I realized it will be a secret forever... 😢
Yes they have.
I was 5, but I still remember where I was with my Mom. Sadly it’s one of my earliest memories.
I was 11 & we had a TV in our classroom: one of the school secretaries came running in & told our teacher what was happening & to turn it on. I will never forget Walter Cronkite’s reporting of the President’s passing, taking his glasses off, his voice breaking slightly, then regaining his composure. It was such a tragedy.
Just a few weeks ago i visited the site near Windsor that the queen had the JFK memorial built on. The acre of land it sits on is officially US soil.
At Runnymede. I went there on my first trip to the UK thinking it would be my only trip there. I like where it is placed because it is on the site where the Magna Carts was signed in 1215. King John immediately broke it which was expected. William Marshall was regent for John's son Henry III and it was re-signed soon after John's death. Beautiful, peaceful spot.
Queen Elizabeth always knew what to do.
I was there many many years ago and it was def a site to see.
🙄
The portrayal of the queen & her mother making remarks about Jackie still wearing the bloodstained dress is a reference to what supposedly happened. It is said that Jackie was asked, or it was suggested, that she could change clothes and she is supposed to have said, "No...I want them to see what they've done to him" or words to that affect.
Yes, she didn't change until after Lyndon Johnson was sworn in. TV's were mainly black and white, it wasn't apparent to all, but to those present, it must have been very traumatic. Poor thing, how she suffered during those awful days.
Yes. “Let them see what they’ve done” is what I’ve always read as being what Jackie said. How incredibly brave she was on that horrific day & in the days through the funeral!! I can’t imagine how she was able to keep herself together at all after her experience in the limousine. I surely wouldn’t be able to even stand upright; my legs would be jelly.
Mrs Kennedy said she wore the bloodstained clothes so everyone could see what THEY had done. Prescient
Yes - she refused to change the pink costume with JFK's blood on it. So the whole world would see what evil people had done. Alas, until today it is still a secret what really happened...
you mean the the assassin?
@@timthewarlord2304 Assassins.
And that was where the myth that some right-wing, revanchist conspiracy began to take shape. Within days, James Reston, writing for the New York Times would publish an article called "A Portion of Guilt for All," alleging that some spirit of reactionary intransigence, opposed to the enlightened reforms of this good and noble champion of justice had taken hold of the public, and this was why the president was dead.
Claptrap.
Kennedy was killed by a disaffected little commie piece of shit. Period. None of the various conspiracy theories hold any water when you take _all_ the evidence into account.
What hate had done. Just what hate is doing to us now.
I have to rewatch those first two seasons - they were the best of the entire show, thanks to Claire Foy!
I was 6 weeks old, and my mom was feeding me. She said she was so shocked, she didn’t hear anything after they said he was dead - not me crying, not my gran taking me and rocking me, weeping. Everyone was just shocked.
I was 11 weeks old. We were born in the midst of turmoil. Feels like we’ve come full circle. 😳
Dramatic license was taken here, as Kennedy's assassination happened around 7pm British time, which in November meant it would be pitch dark, as they were into winter time.
Lol. Dramatic licence was taken for the whole series.
The timeline is off too. Kennedy was pronounced dead 30 minutes after the shooting. His death was reported on CBS Radio 22 minutes later. The official White House announcement came just 11 minutes after that. Not hours later.
7am
@ No - 7am in the morning? Britain is five hours AHEAD of the USA.
Them spooning and just appreciating each other presence was very moving. It meant, they still have each other when unfortunately, Jackie lost her husband. To all the widows out there, I can’t imagine how hard it must feel losing your partner. 😢❤ prayers to yall.
Thank you. Your thoughts are appreciated. It is not easy to go on alone.
Especially when they are taken so quickly like my wife was in a car wreck. I didn't have a chance to tell her I loved her... to say goodbye😭😭
@@glennpuckett9746 I lost my first (teen) love, Gregory, that way. Very hard news to accept.
I know your dear wife would want you to remember all the tender times you did speak your love to one another. My husband told me he never wanted me to have regret, because he was thankful he had chosen me to be his wife. I lost him last summer, after 50 years of marriage, and must remind myself often of his protective words over me. "No regrets." I cherish the good memories, and let love cover our many mistakes along the way.
I sure do miss him.
Best wishes to you on your journey.
I was in class when we heard sobbing from the school office. Our teacher came in with tears in her eyes and told us the President had been shot. We were to go home. We all held hands in a circle and she prayed with us for Mrs. Kennedy, before quietly going home early. Literally everyone cried. It didnt matter if you were a Democrat or a Republican, we had lost our President.
Let us pray it never happens again. It almost did. 😢
I remember that horrible day in November of 1963, I was to young to fully grasp what was going on.... I remember we were sent home from school. People at the government installation where my father worked came home... My mom had already come home.... it was a horrible thing and now..... now.... there are so many unanswered questions.... God Bless President Kennedy.... He is with Our Heavenly Father and other greats....
He was a notorious narcissistic womanizer, he was also misogynistic and racist, why y'all praising him so much? 😂😂😂😂
He met his karma.
3:29 I love how Victoria Hamiton delivers this line, with genuine compassion and grief. Such a subtle moment but it reminds me that her character has lost her own husband and probably knows how Jackie Kennedy was feeling in this moment.
I remember that day. I grew up in Southern California so it was around lunchtime for us. We were taking a spelling test in school when the classroom telephone buzzed. Our teacher, Mrs. Brewer, answered, listened, then hung up. She went to the front of the room , asked us all to stand and told us President Kennedy been shot. We were sent home for the day. Thanksgiving wasn’t quite the same that year.
Neither was Christmas. The saddest one I can ever remember.
@@IslandGirl-nt6ry Yes, it rather colored the rest of the year and on into’64.
Never realized how it affected the royals. Here in the States, people walked around like zombies I was only 5 at the time but it affected my family I could see it in their faces. 5 years later two deaths affected me Dr.King and RFK. They seemed to be our big hope.
The silence between Elizabeth and Philip....
I love the hug in bed. At that moment you know they were thinking about if they were in that shoes.
No words were needed.
The Queen was one of the most cherished and important people of the past 100 years. She got the UK thru some incredibly difficult times.
God bless her.
My mother was born in 1947, and when the Queen died, she said it was like some distant, but constant entity was removed from her life. We're American, but she said Queen Elizabeth was one of those people or things that you somehow believe will always be there. She says "The King of England" just sounds wrong.
I agree. Im a millennial and for me it felt like a relative had passed away. We were just shocked and I still feel peculiar seeing Charles as the Monarch because I cant get passed the Princess Di situation@mmclaurin8035

Jackie *refused* to change her clothing. I will never ever *not sob* when hearing Cronkite’s voice break when the official news over the wire from the White House is reported that Pres. Kennedy had died. Ugh. I wasn’t even born yet when this happened yet the pain I see if the eyes of my parents and everyone else who lived through that era tells me everything about what a catastrophic loss this was for the country.
I was born the day before Kennedy was assassinated.
I'm sitting here weeping like a fool. I'll never ever forget that day.
Mom and my 7 year old self were going to go downtown to see President and Mrs. Kennedy.
I sat down in front of the TV watching lunchtime cartoons when a local News Anchor came on.
He said that President Kennedy and Governor Connally had been shot.
I yelled for Mon and as soon as she came into the room to ask why I was yelling, I told her what happened.
JFK was dead. Governor John Connally was alive (thanks to his quick thinking wife).
Connally had what is known as a "sucking chest wound". Nellie Connally pulled Connally toward her.
In doing so, his arm pressed against the wound sealing it.
If that hadn't happened, Connally would have died that day, too.
Then the Oath of Office given to LBJ with a blood spattered Jackie standing next to him.

She was wearing the suit when Johnson was sworn in as president.
I read somewhere that Mrs. Kennedy was at the swearing in of President Johnson because he requested her presence.

💯
sometimes even a Queen is just a human being.
except she was a reptilian, not a human being
There’ll human beings at all times. Thinking otherwise is delusional.
Had a relative who worked for JFK early in his 1st term. This hit hard.
It's unbelievable to see that i live in her time, a monarch who watched so much great events, wars, met important persons, it's awesome either that she met people of the 19th century.😮
She was a living breathing history book.
When she passed (I figured after her husband died she had maybe a year left in her) I played “God save the Queen” on my phone for a hour as a tribute to her at work.
I did not agree with her 100%. But I sure as heck respected her as an American.
The crown is a heavy burden to bear.
She did so with immense dignity to the end.
It was a mercy her sickness hit quick, and it was not a slow protracted death.
I recall she was hosting the King of Saudi Arabia a while back (almost a decade ago now?).
She decided to troll him in a royal but discreet manner.
When they were going to a car, the Saudi got in the passenger side front, and he was shocked when Queen Elizabeth got in the drivers seat.
She then proceeded to show him all the “driving tricks” she was taught during WW2 when she worked on cars and trucks during WW2.
AKA she gave him a white knuckle ride.
She could not bring up the topic of women not being allowed to drive in Saudi Arabia.
But she could make it clear in other means how she felt.

RIP Queen Elizabeth the 2nd.
Bet you are in heaven racing your husband around a heavenly racetrack. 🥲
This is actually one of the most “meta” scenes ever filmed. When the assassination happened, Prince Philip already had the TV on, anticipating the series premiere of Doctor Who. Yet, previously, Prince Philip had been Doctor Who. It’s a timey-whimey thing that defies explanation.
Had been "The Doctor". Pardon the pedantic correction my friend, it is just something that often gets under the skin of fans of the show.
@@maxi1ification Ah, but pardon the pedantic correction of my own, but whilst it certainly gets under the skin of modern fans, you will find that during the Premier, William Hartnell was in fact credited as "Dr. Who" as were all Doctors for decades, up until John Nathan-Turner took over as producer in Season 18 where upon it was changed to The Doctor upon the insistence of the Actor who played the 5th Doctor, Peter Davison, which it remained until its cancellation.
When the show returned in 2005, he was Credited as Dr. Who, though David Tennant asked to change it back to "the Doctor" beginning with The Christmas Invasion, which it has remained as.
Something which many longtime fans are surprised to learn.
@@benlowe1701I always remembered it as Doctor Who in the 70’s and early 80’s. I just figured “The Doctor” was a newer thing.
He was always called “The Doctor”, but he was credited as “Doctor Who” until the John-Nathan Turner years.
The actress who played Jackie went on to play astronaut and later president Ellen Wilson in the TV series For All Mankind. I don’t know of any other actress who has played both a First Lady and a President aside from Robin Wright in House of Cards.
Had Hillary won the election in 2016 then her inevitable biopic would have made it possible.
Mellie Grant ( Bellamy Young) from Scandal was both First Lady and the President. Cythnia Nixon has never played the President. However she played both Eleanor Roosevelt and Nancy Reagan extremely well. Both famous women may have been First Lady but they were night and day.
I love how Matt Smith has Philip just drop to the sofa as if all the energy has suddenly left his body.
One of a few times in the past century when the world stopped for a moment…
I remember my mum talking about that day. She was a Canadian housewife but she cried all day.
Careless work by the production team. Kennedy was shot in the early afternoon local time - given that it was late November, it would be pitch black night in the UK. How could someone not have missed this?
The Crown is one of the few bright spots on Netflix.
It was noon Central Time in the US - we were at lunch when the PA at school announced it. So about 7PM in Scotland.
I remember when it happened . I had just came in from the garden when my mother told me he had been assassinated . It was a terrible shock to everyone .
3:31 "couldn't they have found her something else to wear?" IT WAS JACKIE KENNEDY'S DECISION TO SHOW THE WORLD WHAT THEY HAD DONE TO HIM
Didn't really know much about the late Queen, so I was one of those who wondered just how long she was going to live. This movie and my research into her reign has made me realize just how callous and ignorant I was. By any standard, this was an extraordinary woman and way too late, I now miss her. She oversaw the peaceful and mostly successful transition of the United Kingdom from a colonial power to that of a responsible nation-state and the steady evolution of the British Commonwealth that took the place of the empire.
Those beautiful old Rovers though. 😍
I wasn’t born when Kennedy was assassinated but people my parents age knew exactly where they were when the news came out. I do remember when Diana died. I was glued to the tv for days. That was a complete shock.
The day a nation died. I wonder who/what could have been behind such a dastardly deed?
CIA, Mafia, & Cuban dissidents. A trifecta aimed at stopping JFK’s foreign policies vis a vis Castro & Russia. Rob Reiner’s podcast “Who Killed JFK?” gives a brilliant update. Turns the stomach though.
They are closer than you think.
@@IslandGirl-nt6rywho are they?such rubbish.
One thing that I think quietly underlies this scene: Kennedy was head of state just as the Queen was. I sense the gravity of another head of state being assassinated can be felt in the performances of both Foy and Smith. Let alone the thoughts about was it Russia, Cuba or another enemy nation that might lead to something else. Smith said nothing the entire sequence but both of their expressions and body language say it all. Fantastic performances from them as well as the supporting cast - as always.
2:43 until Jackie Kennedy's pink Chanel dress will be released and seen after being hidden and locked away for the next 130 years, it has and will only be seen in films and television series
It was said that Queen Elizabeth was very shaken and quite upset about the whole incident. Royal protocol prohibited her from attending the funeral and she was upset at that. Even at her stature...
Nonsense. She didn't go because she was pregnant.
@@lenawagenfuehr53Royal,protocol? Where do people,get this rubbish from. She was up the spout
QE attended Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher's funeral...
I apologize in advance for being "That Guy"... BUT...President Kennedy was pronounced dead at 1pm CST. That's 7pm GMT. On 22November, nearly winter. There's NO WAY it would have been light outside during this entire set-up and scene. Not at that latitude, at that time of day, at that time of year.
Keep coming with the crown scenes from any season. Please.
I love these scenes too!
Hope the creator keeps uploading more 🤞🏻
@@xyinterrupted this channel is not the creator. Go and pay and watch the show if you want more scenes
@@antonydandrea
By your tone, I see that you have missed my point with an unusual sassiness.
I have seen the show (paid and all).
It's nice to rewatch & enjoy some of the best scenes.
I hope the *creator* of the channel continues to upload clips.
Thanks for being understanding. 😂 😂👍
Wow! That was a great scene. I guess I am going to have to watch "The Crown", that's the first time I have seen any of it, and it sparked my interest. Thanks for sharing!
It's a remarkable show, beautifully done from top to bottom. You'll love it.
I stopped watching after Season 4. I'm very partial to the Claire Foy episodes in S1 + S2.
I suppose for many people alive at the time, this news had them thinking of sarajevo and the subsequnt spiral into world war.
it’s chilling to see a scene with The Queen informing Matt Smith that Kennedy is dead when 50 years later Matt will be playing the Doctor (a show which premiered the day AFTER the assassination)…
The culture, people, journalism- all far superior then.
The culture, people, journalism - all far superior then with the British too....😮😢
I don’t think I wanted to relive that moment. I was barely 16 and feel it was the end of my innocence.
Me too and I have never been able to capture the feeling of "everything was going to be all right" again. Something of value to me was loss.
Every year since that event leading up to Thanksgiving the tv channels will put up historical & documental films as well as tv movies about all the event of the time. The same happens on 9/11. Look up the movies on google.
Very very powerful - i am touched
I will never forget hearing of this on the radio. Walter Cronkite gave the news.
And choked up!
*“The American conscience died with the Kennedys”* -Frank Miller
*“The American conscience died with Robert, Martin and John”* -Laurence Fishburne
There is a spot in the UK that the Queen did that was to pay respect to Pessident Kennedy, which is American territory in the UK, but everyone can go to without having to show passport or ID
The scene of the Magna Carta signing in 1215; because of it's significance in inspiring the US constitution it was gifted to the US with a JFK memorial built upon it.
L L Bean in Freeport, Maine, the original location does not have locks on the doors. It is always open 24/7 except for two times. It was closed for the death of it’s founder, L L Bean. It was closed for President Kennedy’s assassination.
My mom was only 3 when this happen, but she still remembers it because her brother (my uncle) was crying.
Our home was filled with crying college students. My Mom worked at a college library and her students, who lived in dorms, came to watch his funeral.
I was in third grade at Milwaukie Grammar School in Oregon. We were having lunch in the cafeteria when the Principal made an announcement over the PA that President Kennedy had been shot and died. I went home and my parents had CBS News on and saw all the drama live with my parents. A sad sad day.
Such a powerful moment in history captured so powerfully.
I found out recently that there is a small plot of land ceded by Britain to the USA that contains a small memorial to JFK. People of a certain age will never forget 11/22/63 and its aftermath.
It's the only land in the UK that's officially US territory. There's a RUclips vid of the dedication ceremony.
very poor continuity. we heard the news at 7pm that night due to time differences. it was november and nightime and very dark
so the queen would not have been in the woods in daylight pulling up trees!
I remember reading a long time ago that the King & the Queen Mother along with the 2 girls did a lot of landscaping around Windsor Castle. It was a hobby they enjoyed & they truly got down & dirty pulling up, digging up & planting.
With little else to do...... On November 22, 1963 the sun set in the UK at 4:03 PM. President Kennedy was shot at 12:30 Central Standard time which made it 6:30 PM UK time.
Kennedy was pronounced dead at 1:00 CST - Cronkite announced it 38 min later. So the Queen would have known by 7:00 pm that Kennedy was dead. That said - I loved the crown!
@@yankeegirl023 Which meant is was early evening, i.e. dark out which isn't depicted in the film - now is it? That was the point...
@@joedeangelis4528 Correct. Here in Britain it is pitch black at 7pm in November. Definitely a mistake made by the folks who made 'The Crown'.......still a great series though.
@@Anna-Jade Agreed on you assessment of the series. A good watch.
Take care!
@@yankeegirl023 Wouldn't it have been 8:00 GMT? I need to look this up, but I thought the 6 hour difference between the UK and the US was based on Eastern Standard Time rather than Central Time.
oh man how this brings back that day of shock and mourning to my 6 year old self..I thought it was the end of the world
She actually said “the CIA killed him” ….
They did. With involvement from the mafia & Cuban dissidents. Rob Reiner’s podcast - “Who Killed JFK?” It’s hard to deny at this point.
We were all so naive back then but people in that circle could sort out quite quickly what was up.
There's a piece of land in Runnymede not far from Windsor castle given to the United States with a JFK memorial on. The queen and prince Philip opened it with JFK's wife and kids and other family you can see the video elsewhere on RUclips
Great acting. My fav queen actress of the 3
My great aunt got to see President Kennedy during one of the parades. She said he looked right at her, and she said he was HANDSOME! She is a republican, but she voted for Kennedy despite that.
She was a thirsty cow who needed glasses...
I am quite certain that JFK was the last Democrat that my parents voted for.
I like to imagine in some other room Prince Phillip is unsually interested in a certain science fiction show that is airing right now.
i remember vividly as a kid in the back blocks of australia the emotional impact of the news ,i was 9 years old ..reflecting further on why the news would effect this aussie kid so much ,was probably due more to joe kennedy's ability to influence by projecting and controlling a narrative .. it goes to show how we can be influenced unconsciously. i remember reading "red spy at night " about a german woman that lived in russia when stalin died in 53 ,and how she cried at the news of Stalin's death,much to the astonishment and derision of her friend who was a colonel in the KGB. the power of influence.that's another reason i have such respect and admiration for the legacy of genuine service of the late queen .. from where i stand and know from observation she was about the most authentic good [god fearing] leader i've come across.such a precious, unique example and legacy and inspiration to the whole world .amongst all the lies and duplicity of heaps of other leaders ,who bring death not life and encouragement ..she showed it could be done .that's what sets her in a league very few attain .to me her wisdom is astonishing and i feel we have to give her submission and allegiance to jesus as she knew and experienced him . so give "the lord " a salute and clap for this one .how fortunate are we

MEN. ❤🇺🇸⚓🙏🏻
The imagine of the Queen of England behind the wheel of a truck helping to yank a tree out of the ground cracks me up. Yet it's totally in line with what I've heard of her.
There is another video online of some guys biking through the back country and random running across King Charles hiking. Outside of the royal trappings, they really do seem like decent people.
She snuggled up to Phillip so perfectly it was like he grew a second head.
H. M. Queen Elizabeth II and H. H. Pope Paul VI were contemplating crossing the pond to attend with H. R. H. The Prince Philip, Duke Of Edinburgh , but both the Queen and Pope were advised by the Prime Minister & the College Of Cardinals respectively not to go due to security issues. There were threats on the lives of Prince Philip, the Pope, the Queen, the King of Ethiopia & General Charles DeGaulle of France. My maternal grandfather was a friend of H. M. King George VI, the Queen's father and he knew H. H. Pope Paul VI, when he was Secretary to my grandfather's Uncle, H. H. Venerable Pope Pivs XII. My grandfather also said she shouldn't go. Twas A Very Sad Part Of The History Of The World not just the United States!! God Save King Charles III!! 🇬🇧
Dr.G.
Isn't the Queen 5 1/2 months pregnant with Edward at this time? Claire Foy doen't look pregnant in these scenes.
That’s because they don’t impregnate actors for parts. Even the great method actors don’t do it.
@@murpho999 Wow, you think actresses has to become pregnant in real life to play the role of a pregnant woman? 🙄
The handling of the coffin was a debacle. The handles had to be broken off to fit on the plane.
I'll bet her Majesty never forgot November 22nd, 1963, just like everyone who was alive when it happened!
She obviously would not have forgot but if you think every person on Earth on that day would remember the day for the rest of their lives you massively overestimate how much the people of the world care about US events.
@@krashdMy husband was a child in the Philippines. He remembered it vividly. His grandfather had one of the rare TV sets in his neighborhood and the whole barrio gathered to watch the footage of the funeral. People respected elders than so they had the chairs and he was on his brother's shoulders watching in back by the wall. He remembered being struck that Caroline was about his age.
When word got out that JFK was shot, it was about 1 PM Dallas time, 2 PM EST. So that would have made it 7 PM Scotland time. In November, it would have been dark/early evening by then.
You have to love a monarch who wears a babushka on her head and is helping the grounds people move a fallen tree.
She was a hardy worker & from a young age, with her parents & sister did a massive landscaping job around Windsor Castle. I gather it was very overgrown & wild. Her mother instigated the job, but all fully participated.
this scene is utter nonsense. it was 12:30 when Kennedy was shot and the UK is 5 hours ahead. So it must be dark and nobody works in a forest when it is dark.
Kennedy was shot at 12:30 PM Dallas time. How is it still light out in Great Britain when the Queen got the urgent message to return to her premises?
Dramatic license. It would indeed have been dark in the UK the day Kennedy was killed
It’s all the lights the camera crew had on.😂
But you make a good point.
It would have been 5:30pm or thereabouts there. But at that time of year (November) it should have been dark or getting very close.
@@terminallumbago6465It would have been pitch dark by then. The scene was intentionally shifted in time to create an allegory between the setting Sun and the setting "sun" of the Kennedys. It's not a mistake.
The timeline in this clip is a bit misleading. QEII is called back to the house in what looks like the afternoon as it’s still light out. She tells Phillip that JFK is dead as she climbs into bed; it’s dark out, implying that several hours have passed.
Kennedy was shot at approximately 12:30 pm Central Time (US). News anchor Walter Kronkite announced his death on live TV at 1:38 Central Time. So it took only a little over an hour for people in the US to learn that JFK was gone. I’m sure the BBC picked up the news fairly soon after, and I don’t doubt that there were people who made sure QEII was one of the first to know.
According to this show, the two women didn't really like each other, & Jacqueline Kennedy didn't show the Queen the respect she deserved, perhaps because she didn't have to fight for her position, as American leaders must. But in the end, Her Majesty was just left alone with her husband, thinking of another woman who had lost hers, & how easily it could be her turn one day. Thank God it took 60-some years, & was by the hand of time, in his own bed, peacefully. 😔
No one remembers this same show making a debacle of JfK meeting the queen? JFK was played by Dexter Morgan with a Texan accent. The man who was the son of the US Ambassador to Britain didn't know the protocol of how to address the queen 🙄 yee-ha! 🤠
Fun fact: It was deliberate. Johnson made her wear the same clothes she was wearing when Kennedy was shot for the swearing-in photo op.
If she had not been pregnant it would’ve been something to see the queen of england marching in a group of world leaders in President Kennedy’s funeral
The Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and the Common Wealth of Nations did not march for anyone.
Especially a Yank.
@@CMOT101 LOL you’re delusional. The US-UK relationship is the strongest allied relationship in the world and both governments hold the other in high regard. And in the UK she was a “ruler” of all. But she was not “superior” to the President of the United States. She was his equal (as far as prestige goes, as far as power/influence goes she was lesser). Had she not been pregnant she 500% would have marched in that group that included dozens of other Kings/Queens, Presidents etc. Now she most likely would’ve been in front of all the other world leaders but she would’ve been in that group none the less
@ChristopherJoseph35
It is extremely unlikely that she would have "marched" in any funeral procession. Until very recently royal ladies, and in many cases ladies in general, did not take part in funeral processions. They waited at the church for the procession to arrive. That tradition was only broken in very recent years by Princess Ann, The Princess Royal. The late Queen never followed any coffin in procession, not that of her father, not that of her mother, not that of her husband.
The Queen NEVER marched for anyone........she didn't have to. She was the Queen.
