lord altrincham (john heffernan) expects a boring meeting with a secretary but is absolutely gagged to when queen elizabeth (claire foy) walks in to confront him herself, and the panic in his eyes is a cinematic masterpiece. watching him scramble to maintain composure while she calmly stares him down is a level of awkward tension that makes my heart race.
