What I don't understand yet is why she was so cold as a mother. I understand the sense of duty, stoicism and all that, but her father was king, yet her parents were very loving and warm with her and her sister. Was it because when she was little, neither she nor her father were expected to become monarch?

I would have liked to see that fleshed out in the series somehow.

[b]Her open admission during one of the shows about her complete lack of feelings (I think she was talking to the PM and described it as a personal deficiency) made me think she might actually be on the spectrum[/b].[/quote]

You do understand that this is fictionalized, no?[/quote]

DP, but I do wonder how the writers could possibly know what was said in private meetings between the Queen and the PM and between her and her son Charles.  [/quote]

Exactly what I’ve been thinking throughout the series.  I wonder exactly how the royal family, particularly Elizabeth, Philip, and Charles, feel about this depiction of their private lives.  I can see making this after they’ve died, but while they’re still living?

I thought the casting was spot-on with Philip, Charles, and Anne.  Tobias Menzies is incredible as Philip, as is Josh O’Connor as Charles.  Both are very affecting.  And the resemblance between Anne and the actress who plays her is astonishing.

Criticisms:  I love Olivia Coleman and Helena Bonham-Carter, but really think they could - and should - have kept Claire Foy and Vanessa Kirby for this time period.  They could’ve subtly aged them.  Coleman and Bonham-Carter both look too old and the resemblances aren’t as close as they were with the original two actresses.  Coleman, in particular, looks older than Philip.  It’s very distracting.[/quote]
