“The Queen is the last woman on earth to look at another man.” Not married, but I’m pretty sure any women on earth who has been with one man for over 70 years has wondered at least once what it might be like to be with someone else.

I honestly don’t know how people saw that scene and thought Elizabeth was thinking about cheating on Phillip.  There was absolutely zero sexual tension in the air.  Like you said, it was a woman lamenting over wanting a “normal life” with a life long very trusted friend.

If by “whole country” you mean “substantially less than 10% by area,” sure. Even Russia arguably owned more (Alaska).

I’ve always harbored hope that one day a president (say, a President Warren or Sanders) will sign a law that bars anonymous property holding shell companies in the US and we get to see who owns what.

This is how I interpreted it. I don’t know what the writers’ intention of that scene was but I took her monologue to be about the entirety of her life.  Implied in her speech was the notion of being robbed. She worshipped her father and believed being thrust into a role he never thought he had to play shortened his…

I’m guessing that former press secretary has a lifetime supply of smelling salts and pearls.

Salacious stories about an affair are very effective at diverting attention from what Elizabeth was really up to in Kentucky, which was massive, private - not royal, property acquisition.

Ultimately, though, perhaps the reason that Victoria and Elizabeth II are so thoroughly imagined as a couple of grandmothers to the nation

The former press secretary that the Sunday Times quoted clearly did not see the episode of The Crown. The scene where she and Porchey were at dinner Elizabeth was musing about getting to spend a life raising horses away from the burdensome duty of being Queen - a burden she emphasized (and has been emphasized many…

I found it curious how so many individuals interpreted that dinner scene with Porchey as Elizabeth implicitly talking about him, and not just a non-Queen life focused on All Things Horses (and, probably, Corgis). It was clear that the scene had the Porchey character reacting uncomfortably and surprised around that pote…

I think it would be very interesting to study the brains of men like this. What neurons aren’t firing right? What connections aren’t being made on a molecular level? Also, how much is innate piggishness and how much is their exalted status and celebrity to blame for how they see women?

Also: "Women are no longer comfortable coming to my hotel room, which is the same as being in prison."

“La credibilidad que se concede a las acusaciones es automática”—that the accusers were given automatic credibility.

“Than groping the one he wants, than ruining its career.”

Spanish women hate your groping old ass as much as any others, my dude. Because you are a gross, sick fuck.

He knows what he’s done. So he knows what he’s guilty of. He’s just upset that he can’t keep doing it.  

It means, “Some people believe my accusers and I don’t like that.”  

Gah, every single thing he said made my eyes roll all the way to the back of my head. I’m gonna need some pain reliever.

He also said he believes he has already been “judged, sentenced, and convicted” by the public
