Go look up some of the photos of that time. They are very telling. There’s one of Diana and the queen on the balcony after the wedding. It’s delightful and imo quite genuine.

Pedantic note: Thatcher was the Head of Government, not the Head of State. Indeed, ‘what happens if the head of government doesn’t want to go?’ is one of the exact reasons why most countries have a Head of State who ISN’T also the Head of Government...

But that really was what Andrew was known for at the time. 

Totally. And I think it touches on something they sort of brushed up against in the first season but never really explained. Specifically that, for admittedly sexist reasons, the role of monarch now is more culturally suited to women than men. People are comfortable with the idea of a pretty woman whose job is to…

Uh, are you....fever dreaming right now? 

O’Connor nailed the body language, and that miserable self-pitying facial expression.

From most accounts, she was able to spend more time with Andrew and Edward in their childhoods than with Charles and Anne; but the latter (especially Charles) are much more the focus of the series and also of public attention.

I felt like this was less a season finale than a setup for the next season, but it was an alright episode. Notes!

While we’re on the subject, I just want point out the slightly open mouth move Melanie does...I think she copped it from Jennifer Lopez, (not that JenPez was the first to do it...it’s a very 50’s starlet pose);

She looks like Jennifer Coolidge got hit with a steamroller.

I mean if the ridiculously fast crack back on Tucker Carlson is any indication, the entire MAGA World is ready to self cannibalize at a moments notice from top to bottom regardless of how loyal the history of any given target is.

Smize fail.

If there’s a saving grace here, it’s that when this is finally over and Trump’s legal options have run out, MAGA World will turn on Rudy, Jenna Ellis, and the others in a heartbeat and blame them for losing, and Trump will happily throw them under the bus despite their having been loyal sycophants to the end.

I think it’s her version of “Blue Steel”...

I mean, she’s an absolute piece of garbage, but I doubt I’d look any different if I had an orange moron trying to paw at my vagina constantly.

the show somehow ignores that she had to convince him to go home with the coffin and not continue the holiday. What a guy.
