I think it was the perfect way to show that Philip accepted his role eventually

I feel like they both played him perfectly because of how he changed trough the years

Matt Smith's version was a man that has a bit of fire in him as he struggles to accept the sacrifices hes gonna have to make as the Prince and realises that hes gonna have to learn to be underneath his wife The phillip of S3 and S4 is a man that has accepted that he's there to play a key role and will have to tough through the sacrifices in the face of his duty to the crown. That's why hes so cold towards Charles with all his complaining and lack of desire to do his duty while Phillip had had a harder life than he had ever. Both actors play the role Spectacularly!

@@Henlak- and now we've got Jonathan Pryce to look forward to. awesome.

Matt Smith played him very well. He was a young restless energetic man who didn’t expect his wife to be Queen for at least 20 years. He had a plan to work his way up the military ranks. He was headed towards being an Admiral but because of his father in law’s death he had to walk 2 steps behind his wife and make phony “appearances”.

why was it so adorable? Because he was doing everything he could, within their crazy world, to have a moment of as much privacy as possible within that situation.

Its hard in my experience seeing it when the husband dies first the window lives on, but...when the wife dies first...the man feels as if his heart has been ripped right from him...he deteriorates...mentally and physically...longing to hold his bride again... I'll never forget the look on my grandfather's face the day we buried my grandmother...never. Theyd have been married 47 years this year...hopefully they've been reunited again in heaven.

They never shared a bed. They'll be fine

Indeed. There's a real phenomenon called "Heartbreak" syndrome where elderly especially die shortly after their longtime partners

@@TheArrowedKnee here we are

@@TheArrowedKnee makes sense now, she's so frail and weak at the time of her passing

If I get a wife, I would call her that.

Very sweet!

I thought cz of her changed hairstyle

Dazzling ❤️

mon petit chou fleur i enjoy

I hate what that person said

You know, commas exist for a reason.

Huh, I thought it was old age

There is clips of them laughing and others laughing at Prince Philip * in a good way*

yushi911- It's practically impossible for a reigning monarch to be a good parent. Far too many demands upon your time.

​@@StonyRC True. Anne said her parents were wonderful when they were around. But they were often away. They also had the issue that outside influences, like parliament and the rest of the aristocracy, demanded a big say in their children's futures. And that say was based on how things looked on paper, not how the kids felt. So no matter how loving they wanted to be, they had to balance that. I think Edward benefited from being the youngest because the rules had become a bit more lax over the years- Sophie is from an average family- and, as the youngest, others weren't as invested in his future. Anne also found someone she loved soon after her divorce.

That's the cost of being the royal family. To the average eye, it seems spectacular, and fun and everyone think its a luxurious, care free life when it really isn't. They sacrifice their family for the nation. They don't get to spend time with their children, or rear them how they want. They are constantly having to "work" with appearances and social gatherings. They are always in the eye of the news media and they don't get any days off. Always having to act regal and having the entire world critique your family. Its hard to be a royal and I would probably hate it considering how huge of a sacrifice your family is. Im sure a lot of the family members sometimes secretly wish they were commoners and to live a normal life unmolested by the worlds peeping eyes.

@@StonyRC Uhuh, right.. Tell Diana that ;)

@@jessiemagee1760 Diana is not a reigning monarch though

I think a lot of people knew that Porchey had a very good shot of being Elizabeth's husband for lots of reasons: he was naturally British, was a member of the peerage, had money, and was liked by many members of the British Royal Family.

Good Lord 😂😂

That’s sounds like Phil’s on a promise😀

Does this mean they will ...?

Omg 😂😂

Oh yes! That was him - Edmure in GOT. Thanks for the reminder!

And don't forget how wonderfully he plays Randall in Outlander. Never seen a better villain.

he also played brutus in rome. he really did do a lot lmao

And the absolutely evil and despicable Jack Randal and the complete opposite kind and gentle Frank Randall

Edenborough…. As a Scottish person that was hard to read. No hate it’s funny.

It is translated as that but means my little cabbage

@@anneblubaugh58. Mon petit chou, or mon chou, are very common tender expressions used in France between lovers.

I saw the resemblance too! As I glanced up at the TV I thought for a second Prince William had made a cameo 😮

@@hearttune98 wow that was eerie for sure

them being wholesome with each other but not with their son might have something to do with it

Prince Phillip's uncle Lord Mountbatten was not a very wholesome role model for Charles either.

Who are Josh and Erin 😵‍💫

@@Rachel57567 They play Charles and Anne

Probably because older Prince Philip feels more like "our" Philip. By the time tv and social media really became big, he was already in his later years, so it's easier to feel connected to the Tobias's performance, because that's the age/era most of us knew Prince Philip in.

It's why the show is called "The Crown" and not "The Queen". To quote Queen Mary in Season 1, "The Crown must always win."

@@nathanielbugg7355 I think Elizabeth would rather have lived in Malta with her husband and children as a military wife. A simple ordinary life with family than be a queen.

@@nathanielbugg7355 I mean anyone can objectively say that the perks are awesome, but in reality to live a life where you are always having yo be selfless is hard. Royalty are like birds in gilded cages.

@@KoiYakultGreenTea The children weren't in Malta...

@@glen7318 Charles and Anne spent their first few years there. At least according to The Crown. In the show, Charles presented his father a medal

She didn't last that much without him 😢

Same

Honestly it’s not their fault, the royal family was always famous for being partially uninvolved in their children’s younger lives.

I do believe that some of their children are just not good humans. I don’t blame the parents for that. There comes a time when one must be independent, to learn things on their own. And both Charles and Andrew have always failed in that regard. Anne is the only one who seemed to be sensible, although the issue again with marriage is likely a result of the life as a member of the sovereign.

Family is not their priority. Duty to country is.

I think it was more that they wanted to be together, but having kids was more a part of her duty. Victoria was the same way. She loved her husband, but didn't like being pregnant very much.

In the speech she did for their 50th wedding anniversary she said that he had been “Her strength & stay all these years” She must miss him so much🥺❤️‍🩹.

@@ellesmith4564 😢🤧💔

They were. They adored each other.

@@xxwhispersxx2856 🥰

Jeffery Gillespie: I hope you aren’t a medical doctor. Good genes, health and diet contributed to his longevity although good mental and emotional well being play a part.

@@johnpickford4222 “mental and emotional well-being“ go hand in hand with the love of a good woman, matey, which I gather from your cynicism you’ve not ever had. Sorry for you.

Agreed👍🏻! I think they adored each-other🥺❤️.

@@ellesmith4564 You could see that by the way they used to look at each-other🤧🥺❤️.

@@bitchfacehopkins9094 She had loved him since she was 13😢❤️.

Yes they did and you can tell she misses him terribly

@@kimberleymorris8052 Seeing her sat alone at his funeral was heartbreaking😢💔.

Which you share not even a percentage of DNA with.

The secret is to try to make it work. To not be quick to see divorce as an option.

@@chanaberlove8720 divorce has saved many people. Divorce needs to stop being seen as a failure or a bad thing. It’s freedom from a toxic situation for majority of people. I was so happy when my mother divorced my father. She was finally free.

What does the second one mean?😂

@@back.in.december your bits? You know, like your naughty bits? You give them a wash in the sink when you're about to get some action? 🤣

I don't know but I do know she apparently enjoyed the first 2 seasons more than 3 and 4

Daniel Bradford: Get a life. I’m not saying Charles was right but Diana was no picnic. She was too young, immature and caught up with being a princess to say nothing with herself cheating to make the marriage work.

From a french endearment term which can directly translate to English as Cabbage

He actually used to call her "mon petit chou" which means my little cabbage when translated from french!

Its like calling someone pumpkin justa. Term of endearment

Unfortunately Prince Philip wasn't available to play the role.

@@jamiewulfyr4607 💦🤣💦 YOU'VE TOTALLY "KILLED" ME WITH YO' COMMENT...

Why bother watching this then😂?

You can’t be that interested in the royal family then if you find this boring.

why watch it then?
