@Oritra Kar Good. We moved on from Empires.

@@tristanthomas5006 we didn't, there's still an empire, u really think they would give it up just like that? There's not a penny in the world that doesn't go through the city of London corporation, I like how people think that tho, makes us formidable and u don't have a clue

Yeah George was very handsome, this actor doesn’t do him any justice.

Cause its not easy to find an actor that looks like him . So instead they pic someone who can portray him. And he did it well

The only time George VI was accurately portrayed on TV was in the movie The Darkest Hours where he was portrayed by Ben Mendelsohn. They managed to find an actor who looks like him and who is portraying him well

@@nirgendheim its not like the actor from "The Darkest Hour" will act for "The Crown" production It depends if they can find an actor Who is willing to act and looks or close to protray him

Not everyone who looks like George VI can potrays well and I prefer skills over similiarities. He still potrays George VI pretty well. Anyhow, It's still pointless to have someone with similiar face to the King but doesn't potray him well.

Hitler both feared and hated Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother.

👑 Keep calm and carry on

ELIZABETH WOULD HAVE GOT THE THRONE REGARDLESS

and let's not forget Lane Price in Mad Men... especially the time he beat the crap out of Pete Campbell.

Jared Harris is incredible in everything he does... He’s one of my favorites.

He was Excellent as General Grant in Lincoln with Daniel Day Lewis, and Professor Moriarty in Sherlock Holmes with RDJ

He was made for this part , a king I never knew but still loved brought to life

I know he was robbed of the Emmy

damn

Yes, it would be such a weird world if King Edward VIII didn’t abdicate and King George VI didn’t come to the picture because it was his leadership that gave Britain hope during World War 2

"My daughters won't go without me, I won't go without the king and the king will never leave", is the correct statement. Powerful and inspiring.

The children will not leave unless I do. I shall not leave unless their father does, and the King will not leave the country in any circumstances whatever

great man makes great leader ki

Same 😭

Same

After watching both The crown and Chernobyl, I can surely say that Jared Harris is a great actor and a type of character you can easily symphatize with

any man who can flawlessly portray a cold, calculated killer in one job and a kindhearted fatherfigure in the other is a top notch actor in my book (it's why I also love christoph waltz)

@@TheChill001 he would have been a great king

Maybe a prequel then? "The Pre-Crown" :D

You could try the Kings speech. It shows him overcoming his stammering problem and a little of personal live before and up to his to power.n

He was the best we ever had, hes a king i would have died for without question 😔

British monarchs reign NOT rule!!!!

Wasn’t his ‘show’, but hers.

Nurse ! She's off her medication again.

Amen! I'll take a Republic and Socialism over Monarchy and Empire any day of the week, but I do see how having a Monarch can be a unifying force, it can never work in the United States 🇺🇸; trust me we tried it. Thanks but no thanks.

@@carlousmagus5387 And the President is not a king in all but name?

@@lucyhardy-styles-shield2728God save England!

Very well expressed and I concur with your opinions of the king.

If he didn’t want the crown, he could have given the UK People a Republic.

Even Woody.EXE never wanted it but he eventually agreed to duty last September 7th on the day 1940 commentated its 82nd birthday. Little did Wales know that Woody.EXE would start his reign 24 hours later and then Queen Elizabeth died. Then I almost died 6 months after the Queen died herself; it was a difficult 20 months for Woody.EXE after losing Queen Elizabeth II and then me his own Queen not long after. He’s probably the greatest monarchs since George VI in 1936. Hopefully 2024 should be a better year for him as Woody.EXE and I continue to reign on

Yes, George VI and his wife were the perfect couple to lead the country during WW2.

I once read that Hitler had intended to put Edward back on the throne as a puppet king if he'd conquered the British Isles. If that's true, what would've been done to him if Britain had been liberated and he'd been taken into custody? Wasn't William "Lord Haw Haw" Joyce hanged for less than that?

@@Arbeedubya That's part of the Marburg files and they're real not just fiction made up in the Crown they got that right. Basically that visit to Germany after he and Wallis married was when it was hatched that if Hitler successfully invaded Britain then Edward would be the puppet King with Wallis as Queen. The Duke Windsor did that "unofficial state visit" without permission from the government and the royal family. All this "he was niave" business is bollocks because tensions were running high between Germany, Britain and the rest of Europe when his father was on the throne and the Duke would know that but he went ahead with that visit anyway. When France fell he and Wallis fled to a friend who was a known Nazi sympathiser and had to be threatend with a court martial off the British government to leave and go to the Bahamas and badically rule and he moaned about that despite living in luxury and beautiful weather whilst Britain was being bombed to pieces and living on rations he was a very selfish and self indulfed child who never grew up

It wasnt entirely Edwards fault, he was basically forced to abdicate the throne by the church.

@@DefinitelyAxe Back then Church didn't allow remarriage after divorce Edward being the head of the Church has to go by their teachings. Remarriage has only been allowed since 2005.

@@DefinitelyAxe It was his fault that he supported the Nazis.

How many times u watched it? I only found it last year an I watched it all in a few days , yep his death even tho i knew it was coming broke me every time 😔

Yesss me too

I love this idea! They could have a wonderful series starting with 18 year old Queen Victoria in 1838 and connecting it to the point of her great grandson and Elizabeth's father, King George VI. She had a few famous grandchildren that you could talk about. I mean you have Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany, the last Empress of Russia Alexandra, not to mention Britain's WWI King George V.

Wish granted

That would be, in a word, magnificent.

I like to be involved with my audience :)

@@Infernoytedits yes

Gaaaaaaayy

You are just betraying your republican values and your integrity as an US American if you served under a monarch.

Oh, crying is wrong because you’re a man, right? Who are you? Captain Toxic Masculinity?

and who's The King wiTh no crown?

again am born as girl I was no boy

Its just losely based on true history, but you should also check him out as Captain Crozier in „The Terror“

@@whay2082 YESSS. THE TERROR. Definitely one of his best performances ever. I am satisfied watching that and Chernobyl on loop for months (totallyyy not speaking from experience there lol). Plus in The Terror, you get Tobias Menzies too, also giving one of his best performances of his career (Outlander, of course, being up there as well for him).

But not the family friend who visit them once and again

ELIZABETH WOULD HAVE BEEN QUEEN REGARDLESS SHE WAS 3RD IN LINE TO THE THRONE

Hahaha

He was one of our greatest monarchs.

They really were

I was so sure he'd win an Emmy for Chernobyl....FANTASTIC....but didn't...Almost makes sense....his father Sir Richard Harris....never landed an Oscar either.

In order to receive an Oscar he will have to make a theatrical film and be nominated for it. He cannot receive an Oscar for the Crown because it is a television film. He could receive an Emmy for it however, since it was made for television.

He's right up there but is often overlooked because his reign was relatively short.

And then fake your death and work for a New York advertising agency.

He do be 50/50 on him, though Charles mismanaged his family, he has not put a foot wrong in terms of being Prince of Wales. Charles has brought billions into UK by working to revive BMW, he was one of people that were part of bringing BMW back into relevancy. Charles has also done several other business and political decisions, he purposed Brexit right after dissolvement of USSR, he was way ahead of his time in terms of politics.

Charles puts the royal family as an institution first not as a family.

Well, I'm only a Yank from the States, but from my knowledge of him, had King George lived as long as his wife, I think he would have disapproved of Charles' marriage to Diana. Here is a man who had doubts about his own daughters future husband and even took her on a trip around the world to separate them for a while. Charles made a bad marriage. Even us commoners here in the Colonies can do THAT! But from all appearances, Charles loves his sons and tried at least to become a good father. Whatever Harry became, I think, had a lot to do with his mother's death and one cannot blame Charles for that. But Wills turned out fine and most people agree he will make a FINE king one day. King George said that you need the right person by your side. I think Charles now HAS that person. Were he to come back today, I think, good man that he was, that King George would acknowledge a grave error in choice but say in the end, Charles did the correct thing.

@@retroguy9494 Charles was forced to marry Diana by his family. They wanted an heir, and Charles was getting older. Plus he wanted to marry someone unsuitable and also getting old. So poor Diana was used, then thrown away when she had served her purpose. Charles does not deserve to be king.

@@SymphonyBrahms Well, assuming that you are a British subject and I'm not, its not my place to say. But deserve it or not, he's GOING to be as he is the first born son. As for Charles wanting to marry the 'unsuitable' woman, didn't he end up doing that anyway? And the Queen apparently had a change of heart because she DID decree that Camilla Cornwall will in fact be called 'queen' when Charles ascends to the throne! So I'm interested in YOUR opinion as to what King George might think or say about the entire situation?

If there is a prequel, it should be about the life of Mary of Teck. What a life she lived! She was born into a minor royal family, betrothed to an heir to another throne, lost her fiancee, married his brother, was the mother to two kings, lived through two world wars, and survived long enough to see her granddaughter become Queen. It could be divided into three segments like THE CROWN: the years prior to becoming Queen (pre-1910), her time as Queen, (1910-1936), and until her passing (1936-1953). It would be the perfect bridge between VICTORIA and THE CROWN.

I would watch something like that! It would be worth it just to see her mistreatment of her own children, especially Bertie, given the way SHE was bullied as a teenager. The Edwardian era also fascinates me. Thanks to old Vickie refusing to train him properly or gradually give him responsibilities in the affairs of State, everyone thought he was going to be a flop as King. However, he surprised many people and was not only well liked as he was affable, but he was rather good at diplomacy and foreign affairs. He DID manage to stave off World War I when he was alive.

@@retroguy9494 It’s very interesting that Edward VII was the last British monarch to still have substantial personal political power before Parliament took them away, and he was arguably the last British monarch who enjoyed the “job” instead of taking it as a duty & burden.

I'm still trying to figure out where I can watch it for FREE! LOL! The series fascinates me. One has to cheer the old Queen for preserving the House of Windsor after Lord Mountbatten had concocted that plan to make a House of Mountbatten! She sure put her foot down on that one.

I agree 100 Percent! There should be a limited prequel portrayal of king George VI played by the great actor Jared Harris🙏🕊 The presence of this great actor Mr. Jared Harris was absolutely mind blowing🤯

I'd say from everything I have watched and read about him they had his charachter spot on he was a huge family man who adored his wife and daughters and had a strong sense of duty like his daughter.

He was one of the few British monarchs who knew how to be a real parent .

The real George VI was very shy, very humble, easily nervous, but with enormous courage.

At least there seems to be flashback scenes of him beyond the first two episodes of season one. I was so worried that it was all I was gonna see of him.

He did his duty to money and power.

I don't think that the connection between smoking and cancer was widely known till later.

@@gidzmobug2323 Could be.

@@pyromania1018 the connection between lung Cancer and smoking wasn't known in the early 1950s virtually everyone in those days smoked to some degree or another regardless of status.

@@simongarthwaite7695 True.

Don't you know if have too much stress it can cause cancer and his smoking didn't helped.

Well hold up there just a minute there dude. First off, both Bertie and David had cancer, one of the lung and the other of the throat. However I think the added stress of being unprepared and thrust into the role of King really contributed to Bertie's death at an earlier age. He was weak (in the physical sense) and got old before his time Regarding Churchill, he was a cigar smoker and, like MOST cigar smokers, do not inhale like cigarette smokers do. As a general rule, cigar and pipe smokers live much longer than cigarette smokers. I used to smoke cigarettes myself as well as a pipe and the occasional cigar. When I quit, a couple of my doctors told me it was okay to smoke my pipe as long as I didn't inhale. In fact, a recent study shows that pipe smokers actually live LONGER than non smokers. Because 1) a LITTLE bit of nicotine is actually good for you (just like alcohol) and 2) pipe smokers are generally more relaxed.

Yes I quite agree I went onto a pipe Then gave it up However I'm wary of going back To it tobacco rather expensive Still when I become more financial Who knows!

@@angloaust1575 Well, here in the United States, pipe tobacco is still a lot cheaper than cigarettes. When I quit 6 years ago, cigarettes were around $70 a carton and now they are around $100 and I used to go through 5 cartons a month. Currently, I go through about 2 pounds of pipe tobacco about every 5 weeks or so and it costs me about $100. But that's for GOOD all natural tobacco and not he cheap stuff they sell in the convenience stores which is loaded with chemicals. I send away for mine from a top tobacconist who mixes his own blends and its nothing but 100% tobacco with nothing added except for the flavoring.

Yrue--Victoria was the only daughter of George III's fourth son. Between her three elder uncles, there were only three legitimate children, all of whom died young.

Victoria was meant to rule. She was the only child of the man next in line to the throne. He died before she was born. So she was next in line to the throne.

@@SymphonyBrahms her father had 3 older brothers one of them even had a child princess charlotte (before victoria was born) then charlotte died in childbirth so all of george iii sons tried to have a child thus came victoria her two uncles rained before her she was born 5 in line way more down in the line of succesion then george VI

God save the queen

I recant. God save the King. God save King George VI. God save King Charles III.
