The Crown (2016)
"his inflammatory and deeply personal attacks on the Queen,"
The Crown (2016)
"in a periodical of which he is also publisher,"
The Crown (2016)
"have become the most pressing issue of the day"
The Crown (2016)
"and caused something of a constitutional crisis."
The Crown (2016)
"So, I'd like to begin by asking Lord Altrincham a simple question."
The Crown (2016)
"She's our head of state,"
The Crown (2016)
"loved, respected and admired around the world,"
The Crown (2016)
"so why do you hate her so very much?"
The Crown (2016)
"I... I don't."

The Crown (2016)
"of the egocentric and self-motivated politicians"
The Crown (2016)
"who go in and out of office,"
The Crown (2016)
"who, as King Lear wonderfully says, "ebb and flow by the moon.""
The Crown (2016)
"But when working at its best,"
The Crown (2016)
"monarchy can rise above such matters and unify a society."
The Crown (2016)
"It can set the tone and become the embodiment of the nation,"
The Crown (2016)
"of national character."
The Crown (2016)
"But the problem is, at the moment, it's-- It's not doing that."
The Crown (2016)
"It's doing very little right, as far as you're concerned."
The Crown (2016)
"No, that's not true."
The Crown (2016)
"It's not superhuman to be a little spontaneous."
The Crown (2016)
"Judging from your article, you'd like the Queen to have"
The Crown (2016)
"in addition to being a diligent, dutiful and devoted monarch and a mother."
The Crown (2016)
"All I'm suggesting is that, in her public speeches"
The Crown (2016)
"and in her appearances, she should be more, uh, natural."
The Crown (2016)
"Her style of speaking is, quite frankly, a pain in the neck."
The Crown (2016)
"She sounds strangled."
The Crown (2016)

"by the indifference and inertia with which the speech was greeted."
The Crown (2016)
"[Day] But you'd accept that being Queen and head of the Church of England"
The Crown (2016)
"is not an easy job or a simple one? If you'll forgive me,"
The Crown (2016)
"it's arguably a harder job than editing a small periodical."
The Crown (2016)
"[laughs] No, I quite agree. Her Majesty has a seemingly impossible task."
The Crown (2016)
"She has to be ordinary and extraordinary, touched by divinity and yet one of us,"
The Crown (2016)
"but being ordinary doesn't have to mean bland or ineffectual."
The Crown (2016)
"Or forgettable."
The Crown (2016)
"[Day] And against whom do you lay the main charge? Her courtiers?"
The Crown (2016)
"[Altrincham] Well, in the end, if the court is wrong, if the setup is wrong,"
The Crown (2016)
"you have no choice but to criticize the boss."
The Crown (2016)
"The Queen?"
The Crown (2016)
"Yes, because only the boss can get rid of the bad servants."
The Crown (2016)
"She hires them."
The Crown (2016)
"She alone can fire them."
The Crown (2016)
"Now, they may be bad, I believe some of them at the moment are."
The Crown (2016)
"They're quite dreadful, but it is her responsibility, it's not theirs,"
The Crown (2016)
"in the sense that they are just hired hands."
The Crown (2016)
"And so the personal attack on the monarch continues."
The Crown (2016)
"[Altrincham] Let me just say this."
The Crown (2016)
"gives me no satisfaction."
The Crown (2016)
"But we have to remember that, since the Second World War,"
The Crown (2016)
"since Suez, Britain has changed beyond recognition."
The Crown (2016)
"And yet the monarchy continues its pre-war routines"
The Crown (2016)
"as though nothing has happened."
The Crown (2016)
"I believe it would serve the Queen and her courtiers well to remember"
The Crown (2016)
"but today, republics are the rule"
The Crown (2016)
"and monarchies very much the exception."
The Crown (2016)
"[Day] Lord Altrincham, I have to terminate the interview."
The Crown (2016)
"I'm obliged to you for answering my questions."
The Crown (2016)

"Why not?"
The Crown (2016)
"Well done. You looked incredibly calm."
The Crown (2016)
"-Really? -Man of the hour. Really."
