Scotland is so beautiful during the 12 days of sunshine it gets per year! 😀

Excellent cinematography... before he knows who she is, almost every cut has them both in the camera. After he figures it out, they are never in camera together.

At the end, when she looks at him and has tears in her eyes. . . Maybe he reminds her of her late husband and how nice it would be to be there with him.

To me, it is absolutely heartbreaking at 2:40, when she gives that extra little half-laugh, half-sob. All she wanted was a bit of peace, time to herself, and for a change, the anonymity that would allow her to really relax. And then “BAM!” in one unfortunate moment, all of that is ripped away, and she’s thrust back into public life.😢

I’ve had the same experiance in rl. Back in 1999 here in Greenland Kangerlussuaq. Science hotel. I came in the living room where 3 very very full bearded men were watching Flatliners. When I intered I greeted them in English. But they turned out the be Danes. So our conversation tuned to Danish. One of them was very friendly and curious, asked about me and my works. And was very hospitable and welcomming. We saw the film through. And when it finished. I got up say my goodbye. And left. Just as soon as I exsited, my coworker. Asked how was he. D’you know who that was? I replied. Who? Turned out the very friendly and curious man was our then Crown Prince Frederik. Who is now our King.

The Queen Mother left this castle to Charles in her will in 2002. He and Camilla still have it.

In 1952 the castle was known as BARROGILL CASTLE! The Castle, Gardens and Parkland (which extended for 30 Acres ) were renovated between 1953/1955!
The Queen Mother restored the Castle's original name changing BARROGILL CASTLE back to the CASTLE OF MEY!
The Queen Mother spent 3 weeks in August and around 10 days in October!
The Castle is on the Caithness North Coast of Scotland, approximately 6 miles from the West of John o'Groats!

She had a rare moment of anonymity that she will treasure for the rest of her life

When every other moment of your life you can't be sure if politeness is only offered because of your title, how refreshing it must have been to have a moment of certainty that the kindness was real.

It's quite sad when she tears up, knowing her secret's out. There were probably few times in her life where someone was relaxed and authentic with her, allowing them to form a true friendship, rather than seeing her for her title and role as the Queen Mother and acting with deference. As he realises who she is, she sees that disappearing, knowing she'll likely never find it again, and mourns it. Good moment!

"Uhh you realise this didn't actually happen, right???" You are allowed to analyse fiction :)

We visited that castle last May. It's actually a cozy place, by royal standards. The grounds and gardens are beautiful and there is a great view of the Pentland Firth and Orkney in the distance.

This is my favorite scene of the whole series.

One of my FAVORITE sub plots of the early series. A wonderful depiction

@dirdib69 2 years ago

Her look is like losing a friend, or knowing that she'll never see him again. And she wouldn't, I guess, since he'd inevitably be different from that point on.

The encounter is the Queen Mother's purchase of the Castle of Mey in northern Scotland. Always worth a visit during open house season. !

I'm listening to Lady Colin Campbell's book on Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother. Elizabeth got a sympathetic edit in the Crown.

@stevep5408 2 years ago

Appears to be someone who loves the castle and wanted new owners to properly take care of and restore the place? He must have truly loved the old pile of stones, mixed with blood and sweat, toil troubles and triumphs!

If you ever make it to the north of Scotland, go and visit the Castle of Mey. It's beautiful. When I was there 12 years ago our guide had some stories to tell about HM Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother.
