I don't even know what to say. Throughout the series, as well as the entire series, you never stop believing the characters of Elizabeth and Philip for a minute. Every emotion was felt by me as a spectator. I understood each of them and worried about them. Great acting. Very strong and true.

And as always, a powerful, very strong ending. With its own special atmosphere: homesickness, expectation and love.

And I also heard in Elizabeth's words that she knows that Philip likes this "vacation" too much and asks to return to his family

I can imagine how Mike will return from the tour, and his wife has already left him and will not return anything.
As I understand it, he never called his family

I would like to highlight the scene of Prince Philip's interview with an Australian journalist. How brilliantly Matt Smith managed to show the change of emotions from playful flirtation to barely restrained rage. It seemed that he was about to hit her. Amazing acting!

@Sehnsucht: damn, well, to indulge a sick ego and fulfill the fraction'yazkovi whims of a man.this is such a family happiness. Is it Elizabeth's problem that Philip can't survive her success, her status, or her responsibilities? While she worked, he ran around the pubs, drank, cheated and humiliated her with stupid jokes or ridicule, and she still does not give family happiness...

If you read some of the tabloids, then Philip was still a reveller. Of course, all this was carefully hidden and denied, but nevertheless :)

He was lucky that Elizabeth was not Henry 8, otherwise he would have put his head on the block right away! I couldn't stand it if I were the queen.

As is vividly shown by the example of a fighter for the truth who practically threw himself under the wheels, that people in high society do not distinguish between the right and the guilty, everyone who has a status is guilty a priori.
The situation with fuel and the bad impression of the world community reminds me of the situation in our country in the last couple of years.
Well done, Anthony, he did a lot of business and dumped his health at the resorts to improve, just the hero of the day. A vain, ordinary vain boy, how did they let him get to power.

Mike is quite a scamp. "Maybe everything will get better if you are patient" is an imperishable rule of the last century: be patient while a man cheats, beats and behaves like a beast, because divorce is practically a social death. The 50s is another planet, by God. Poor Miss Parker, suffering because of such a freak.

Of course, their logical chain in their Britain is simply amazing: if the secretary fucks, then the Prince Consort also fucks. I'm sorry, but somehow I don't notice the connection. Just because they are inseparable friends does not mean that Philip does not have his own head on his shoulders. And the conservatives of these methods of eliminating the problem are as stupid as the conclusions: here the boy will make a speech, and everyone will immediately believe in the inviolability of their marriage, yeah.

@chch93: How Philip is on the ship in his element — a relaxed, confident leader, with all his jokes and jokes. This was clearly not enough for him. This freedom... And he also complained that it was a link, pfft. He's having a lot of fun.
Bearded Matt Smith is a separate religion, by God. Official statement: this man is unacceptably good-looking. Uh, our royal husband insisted, the harsh words, as he famously ordered to turn the ship around and bring the poor man home, just ennoble Philip from all sides. It was a wonderful thing to do, right up to tears.

How sharply the foggy Albion and tropical bright Australia differ in color contrast.
Despite the fact that Filka is a noble rascal and I want to slap him on the cheeks for the way he devoured that journalist with his eyes, but how smartly he holds the brand, refusing to compromise the royal family by expressing his opinion about the Suez crisis. After all, there is an understanding in my head, everything is not so bad. Probably for the first time since the beginning of the first season, I'm watching him with pleasure, and Matt's game is just beyond praise, filigree transitions of emotions. How he rejected this unfortunate scribbler, wow, well done, she started digging into childhood traumas here. It is clear that this is their job, but still, they sometimes do not know the boundaries.

How upset they both are that they couldn't talk... How painful it is for Lilibet to be away from him and realize how happy he is to be there, bright, in the center of attention, and not in her eternal shadow.
It's so touching that Elizabeth always believes in this fool, and that because of her soulful speech, something finally clicks in his head, and he realizes that there is a woman who loves him no matter what. And always waiting back.

it is already unbearable to watch all these adventures of Philip, all this male chauvinism, where women are only goods, and the joyful laughter of the crowd of the same married men of the club : (

by the end of the episode, there was a glimmer of hope that Philip would come to his senses, eh
It's a pity for Elizabeth, it's very hard for her with all these infidelities and strained relations with her husband, but you can't talk to anyone: her mother doesn't understand what is happening, and her sister only gloats.. in addition, you must constantly be an example, a standard of calm, and also this difficult situation in the country! it is wonderfully conveyed how she literally runs to the phone during Philip's call, gets nervous watching broadcasts with him on TV

and I don't understand some people who write that the series deviated from the UK history line.: this is a series about the life of Elizabeth, not about the country! her personal life plays an important role here, it was incredibly interesting for me to watch everything that is happening, besides, thanks to such series, you begin to get more into her and her family, there is a clear realization that these are the same living people, with the same problems as the ‘common people’

Each episode moves me to tears, sometimes from admiration and solemnity of the moment, then from sadness.

I can't imagine what it was like to live in the world when your husband and the father of the children left you, he can't even wish a happy birthday to his daughter, who is very waiting, cheating, which is quite obvious, but she can't do anything and even divorce without proof (No marriage is better than for show, when everyone will suffer.

Philip's endless whining has already got enough, how can you even live with such a man? I read every now and then that he was an endless support for the queen, but something is completely invisible.

But she's no better-spineless. Although, reading her biography, you will never say that. And again, she's at it: she tells Margaret to be more careful in choosing the people she communicates with. And the fact that Philip is always hanging out in some dubious men's club is normal. There are some double standards, it's not for nothing that many write that she was always jealous of her sister.

How badly it turned out with the journalist. But the man just wanted to flirt a little. Who knew that this pretty woman, whom Philip "correctly understood", would turn out to be a shark of journalism and would cling to him like that. The poor guy barely fought back.
A piece of Philip's Christmas speech amused him. It turns out that they argued endlessly about where the best system of government and justice is, where the most interesting religion is, etc., etc. And I thought they were more interested in talking about where the most beautiful and appetizing women are.

A lot of jabs at Eden. Of course, he has done a lot of things, but he is not the only politician who has such a thing. And it is unfair to accuse him of fleeing to Jamaica from responsibility. The man was really seriously ill, besides, he actually turned into a drug addict. At the same time, even the most "harsh" medications did not bring much relief. It was irresponsible to remain in this position. What decisions could he make in this state?

I'm sorry about Mrs. Parker. It's hard for us living in the 21st century to imagine what it's like to live with such an asshole without being able to get rid of him for no good reason. The fact that he has already just got tired of his behavior is not considered a good reason.

No, I absolutely cannot have any sympathy for Philip. When they were shown to us in the first episode, they were a wonderful couple. Elizabeth has not grown up since then. And he was stuck in the boy's mindset, full of resentment and audacity.

I do not understand the enthusiastic comments towards Philip, an adult man who behaves like an offended boy whose toy was taken away. And Elizabeth's sister, too. The queen has a very difficult life, torn by love for her husband and obligations to the country without having support from her family. Also, I can't stand cheating without being able to get a divorce.

I can't understand why you think Philip really cheated on Elizabeth. Although of course it is clear how his wife loves him, and tries and does everything he wants, and he only uses it... but I can't believe the dream of treason. They didn't tell us about it directly

I feel terribly sorry for Mike's wife, a very nasty guy. He has a wonderful wife and two wonderful children, and I am very sorry that a woman in such a situation used to (and still, unfortunately, in many places) get hurt... I hope the crown won't do anything wrong to her.

I just don't have the energy to watch this "flower of the British nation" travel the world and sleep with literally every woman she meets on her way. And women all literally can not resist, who first jumps to the British sailor in the arms, they themselves run to them in complete ecstasy. This colonialism, this misogyny, this arrogance, such horror. Women are like interesting animals, unique decorations of an island, country or territory, trophies and magnets that you collect from every city where you have been on a trip, and then hang on the refrigerator and brag to your friends: this one was bought at the bazaar in Istanbul, and this one в in a cute little shop right at the foot of the Eiffel Tower...At the same time, even the waitress of the men's Club calls these poor women, most of whom were raped or sold by their families for a bunch of shells or a couple of pounds, prostitutes in every port
