In another epic scene from The Crown, the Queen lets it rip due to the failing marriage of prince Charles and princess Diana. S04.EP10 I don't own the copyright and only share this as I'm an avid fan of the epic burns in The Crown.
The Crown: Scene where Queen burns prime minister for resignation / quitting
Переглядів 3,2 млн5 років тому
"A confederacy of elected quitters". Prime minister grilled for his resignation. Three prime ministers in her reign of 10 years. From season 2, episode 10.
This is why hereditary positions are wrong. Because, sooner or later, they produce idiots who stuff everything up.
“We are all suffering having to put up with this.” is one of the most mom statements I’ve ever heard.
ON OUR FEET🦶TO KEEP IT BRIEF💼🩲
“A confederacy of elected quitters.” DAAAAAYYYYYUUUUUUMMMMM!!!!!!
Knowing the truth, the QUEEN never would have said this ! 90 % of ´The Crown´ is fiction and quite a lot of this rubbish is done to damage the British Monarchy
The Queen was truly unfair to McMillan. He went through Hell during the first World War just to get called an “elected quitter.” That would’ve infuriated me if I was in his shoes. So if the Queen can call a survivor of the First World War an “elected quitter” then she was a “Tribal leader in eccentric costume.”
In called for and not warranted
I've had such days :)
Sounds like my aunt describing her marriages.
she probably never said that in real but who knows i might be wrong
WOW 💪.
The Queen wasn't wrong. She just wanted a powerful prime minister and instead she got more flakes than what is in a box of Wheaties. She wasn't asking for the world, she was just asking for competent leaders. I really think if it was not for her, the UK would have fallen apart.
Damn did she roast him: He is too old, he is too ill and thus he is too weak!
I think he has to quit!!!
Clever men ambitions + elected quiters 😂 whom continuously repeat themselves 🇺🇸🗽🇮🇪
The queen was absolutely wrong on this one.
But they were elected. That's the thing...
when she calls him spoiled - yes, well whose son is he, and who was responsible for raising him?
Mic drop! Boo yaa
We should be so lucky today for our elected leaders to realize when they are no longer able to serve the people and decide to leave before they do real harm.
Imagine being a veteran of WWI who was wounded and permanently disabled.......and you are called an old quitter by a woman who has never in. a day of her life struggled or wanted for ANYTHING. I'm sure he would have stood as she walked out on him.......had he been able to stand.
I know this is historical fiction, but she is wrong. It is noble to recognize your infirmity and willingly give up power, control and influence. The leader of a modern government has many responsibilities that can lead to a material benefit for their constituents. They don't get to move to part time, work from home at their secondary castle when they become old and sick. The work still has to be done and their responsibilities can't easily be temporarily shifted to other ministers and then taken up again later when they are better. You step aside so that someone else can lead and get the work done.
A mere drop of the eyes can light up a scene: SHOWING the readers a scene’s subtleties. Even if it is Netflix, still, a wonderful, ‘cut-glass’ writing lesson. Note, “d’yoknow” .. a nod to the U.S. audience? Meanwhile, FOY WAS FABULOUS.
That scene made me nearly bend the knee
1:13 - Okay, before Queen Elizabeth havin a** starts talking, im curious on somethin. Bruh, why the hell are you saying 'endlessly complaining unnecessarily!' Is she speaking Bripish Engrish or somethin? I understand that Queen Elizabeth wants to talk to her son about her relationship, but Queen Elizabeth needs to learn how to speak just a little bit! Talking to his own son like he's in the Judge Judy's courtroom! That scene of Queen Elizabeth is not Judge Judy, nah brah. That's Fudge Fudy!
Claire Foye was the best Elizabeth.
I don’t think the queen became nice until her very late years. She was so cold to her children especially
Although the prime minister had many power but none of them would last very long in their position. Some only have been in office for only 49 days.
Every room they dhow anywhere is so dark and dingy. How depressing!!!
You have just described England.
Too bad that the country couldn't switch out monarchs as easily. It's a shame they don't have the decency to overcome their personal egos and abdicate instead of being carried out on a shield years after they were effective.
Give up monarchy entirely. Or replace hereditary monarchy. Both Canada and Australia have governor generals and lieutenant governors that fill the role of the sovereign in their absence. The prime minister simply appoints someone for a fixed term. Often they are accomplished people who have succeeded in areas of the civil service, academia or such. They stay out of the partisan politics of the day. When their term ends they move off and act as a governor emeritus similar to the roles of some of the lesser royals. Charities, commissions, recognizing distinguished citizens etc. We don't need the great, great, great grandson of the conqueror whatever to do the job because they have special blood. The order of birth is entirely pointless. And a male preference is stupid.
Britain must support Palestine

Of course McMillan also had trouble on the home front. His wife had been cheating on him for years. It’s even been suggested that their last child was fathered by her lover.
It is a great line, but still, "Confederacy" is not the best word for this exact scenario almost had a feeling that the word was chosen specifically to invoke subconcious feelings specifically in targeted AMERICAN audiences.
How very unfair of her to say that. McMillan got his wounds and the ill-health that plagued him for the rest of his life from being wounded repeatedly on the Western Front in the Grenadiers. Out of his Oxford class, only he and one other student survived the war.
It should be noted that MacMillan resigned in 1964. But he only died in 1986 at the age of 93 after a long and productive retirement as an author, golfer and hunter. So he probably wasn't as terminally ill as he portrayed himself here. Elizabeth was about 38 years old and perhaps more similar to the imperious middle queen, alias Olivia Coleman, than to the young girl who confronted Churchill. And when she speaks with disdain of "elected quitters," one must remember that she never had the need to run for public office or a job because she started straight away in the highest office of the British Queen.
I cannot understand a single word of Mc Millan's first sentence. Can anybody please scribe it here? Thanks
It's okay, he went on to serve as Hand to another queen.
how she talks is so satisfying, honestly. i could listen to her for hours! claire foy surely nailed Queen Elizabeth II
Have you ever listened to a house of common's session? In real life the queen would have to stay one step ahead to deal with the sheer brilliance these men have. I'm married to a witty brilliant englishmen. It's the purest form of fascinating entertainment ever!!!!
I've listened to this ten times, volume up to the max. "I would call Alec to the Palace right away, ma'am. Mumble, mumble, mumble" WTF did he say?
I hope the depiction isn't accurate. Most of the Royals appear really hateable in this show.
No, it is far from accurate. It takes real life events but the writers took a lot of artistic liberties. Like a biofiction.
Why is she berating him?
Because he's a twat?
Bloody amazing scene. You made your bed, now sleep in it. 👏 Well said ❤
Macmillan definitely wasn’t a quitter, but heaven forbid a Conservative PM is portrayed fairly.
The gall to call a man on his death bed a quitter is astounding…. I loved the queen but she really did have her head where the sun doesn’t shine sometimes
He wasn't on his death-bed at all. He thought he had cancer, but it was a false alarm. He resigned, he quitted. He did have a great bon mot at the United Nations. He was delivering a speech, when Kruschev took off his shoe and started pounding on his desk. MacMillan asked,"May I have that translated?" It is here on youtube.
"Amy, get the Neosporin..."
She's setting us up for Olivia Coleman lol
Charles has got to be over 30 at this point. He is too old to be acting this immature.
Clair Foy is my favorite Queen.
