王冠第四季

为啥说王冠毁了戴安娜，戴安娜却救了王冠？

一、网飞大剧《王冠》演到第四季，越来越明确地表达了一个观点：王冠吃人。

这季里就生吞了戴安娜。

戴安娜，一个20岁的青涩少女，只身嫁入皇宫。

她的故事里有王子、公主，有走过长街的“玻璃”马车，有长达八米的婚纱，有梦幻一般的婚礼。

这简直就是童话！

以至于剧中戴安娜的好友都羡慕地说，你到皇宫以后，一定要给我们打电话啊，在那儿，你的水杯上是不是都会画着一顶小王冠？

但几乎是一走入皇宫，戴安娜就被打入了冷宫。

她见不到她自己的丈夫查尔斯，打电话给王子，永远都是“查尔斯现在不在，不过我会把你打来电话的消息转告给王子的”，然后就没有回音了。

王子忙着和卡米拉厮守。

她打电话给女王，得到的消息也是“女王现在不方便”。

她见不到女王。

是啊，女王是没有必要见她的。

女王需要她做的就是一个恭敬守礼的威尔士王妃，最好是静默而得体的木偶。

剧中，当戴安娜拥抱女王时，女王懵得连双手都不知该放在何处，事后，女王说这真是“令人厌恶的拥抱”。

孤独、无助、绝望，戴安娜换上了进食障碍和抑郁症。

查尔斯将戴安娜精神状态不佳的消息四处宣扬，就差像《雷雨》里的周朴园一样逼老婆繁漪喝药了。

王冠的残酷还在于，不论查尔斯做了什么，即便和戴安娜离婚，他仍是王子。

可戴安娜若是离婚的话，将一无所有。

二、可是，我们不会再记得被打入冷宫的那些皇帝昔日的宠妃，却会一直记得查尔斯不爱的戴安娜，因为戴安娜走向了公众。

英国首相布莱尔说戴安娜是“人民的王妃”，恰如其分。

童话里的公主，眼里只有王子。

那当我们真的见到这样一位公主时，她会怎么对待我们这些普通人呢？

戴安娜的回答是，我就和每个普通人一样。

她内心里并不觉得自己是高高在上的王室成员，她首先觉得自己是一位妻子，一位母亲，一个活生生的人。

戴安娜也喜欢逛街，喜欢流行音乐，甚至会带孩子去吃肯德基。

于是，戴安娜在见到百姓时，会与她们握手、拥抱，细心地一束又一束地接过她们手中的鲜花，见到小孩子时一定要俯下身子……也许会有人觉得，就是这些逢场作戏式的亲民举动，谁都会做，只是她们不屑于如此去做罢了。

他们大错特错了。

当你做这些举动时，不论是身处其间的人，还是电视镜头，都会捕捉到你的动作、神态、心情，以及背后所隐藏的你的真意。

因而，我们才会更讨厌做作，甚于冷漠。

因为那些逢场作戏是一种欺骗，也是对我们每个人所抱有的真心的践踏。

戴安娜不是亲民，她就是普通人中的一员。

所以，同样需要时常与公众打交道的首相布莱尔都会在回忆录里说，“我知道，她向残疾人和病人们伸出援手的方式，透着真挚，没有人能够模仿，也没有其他与她地位相当的人做过这样的事。

她当然了解那样做的结果，然而，如果没有真诚的感情，效果是不可能如此显著的。

”三、戴安娜身处冰原之上，陷于无助之中。

于是，她当然愿意去认识、了解那些同处无助之境的人们，如果可以的话，她也愿意尽自己的绵薄之力，与这些人们报团取暖。

从这个意义上说，戴安娜不是投身于慈善，而是重新定义了慈善。

慈善不只是捐款捐物，更是感同身受。

戴安娜去见残疾人，病人，深入美国充满混乱和犯罪的街区，深入随时有爆炸危险的雷区。

、在那个人们认为一碰患者就会感染艾滋病的年代，戴安娜与罹患艾滋病的儿童不带着手套直接握手，而且拥抱了患儿。

与她一道前来的美国总统夫人布什都留下了眼泪。

就像迈克尔杰克逊说的，戴安娜的为人真的很好，热心肠，又有同情心，很真实的，她不会为了公关宣传造假，她是真的非常有爱心。

戴安娜的这些举动改变了人们的王室的固有看法，拯救了王冠。

步入近代的英国，削夺了王权，保留了王位。

一个问题接踵而来，就是既然国王不再握有实权，我们为什么还要花钱养着你们？

二战后的伊丽莎白女王，竭力都是扮演超然的领袖与不会犯错的道德楷模。

因而，王室越少出现，越安全。

但在一个日益平民化的社会里，人们更愿意看到更完美的自己，而不是高高在上的他人。

戴安娜成功地将王室的政治身份转化为社会影响力，这种影响力与党派无关，却像阳光一样照亮漆黑，像春风一般抚慰人心。

人们看到了王室所能拥有的道德力量，不是在私德领域的纯白无瑕，而是在公益上的奋不顾身。

剧中，卡米拉说，戴安娜童话的锻造是由于主人公备受委屈。

她只说对了一半，戴安娜在王冠下的委屈，确实引发人的怜悯，但她将个人的委屈化为让他人舒展的努力，才真实地获得了人的钦佩。

所以，戴安娜离婚后，王室为她保留了威尔士王妃的头衔。

但是，我们更愿意称呼她——戴安娜王妃。

原文链接The fourth season of The Crown stretches from May 1979, when Margaret Thatcher is elected Britain’s first female prime minister, to Christmas 1990, shortly after she has been drummed out of office. Peter Morgan, the show’s creator, tells us: “We do our very, very best to get it right, but sometimes I have to conflate [incidents] . . . You sometimes have to forsake accuracy, but you must never forsake truth.” The forsaking of the truth, the perverting and twisting of known facts, is what has always concerned me throughout the four seasons of this series. It is about real people, often put into fictional situations.The main protagonists in season four are Thatcher and the Prince and Princess of Wales, clashed against some of the other characters from season three and earlier. This creates a new problem for anyone watching it since in both these relationships there are numerous contradictions, there has been much side-taking and it is possible to slant things in a variety of different ways. Nevertheless, even having taken that into consideration, there are established truths and untruths. My conclusion on this series is that it is yet more subtly divisive than earlier seasons. Pretty much every character is dislikeable. The Queen is portrayed as glum and schoolmistressly — quite unlike the real Queen. The Queen Mother is given some truly horrible lines; Princess Margaret is downright rude; Thatcher buttoned up. Diana is the heroine of this series, largely portrayed — in my view often unfairly — as the victim of a heartless family.Episode 1Did Lord Mountbatten write Prince Charles a letter urging him to settle down, on the day he set out for his ill-fated boating expedition at Mullaghmore?❌ FALSEThe Crown shows Lord Mountbatten on holiday at Classiebawn Castle, Co Sligo, on the morning of August 27, 1979, about to set off on a fishing trip with his daughter and other members of his family. He writes Prince Charles a letter urging him to find “some sweet and innocent, well-tempered girl with no past” to settle down with, and to do his duty. In reality, he wrote no such letter that day.He did, however, write to Prince Charles on many other occasions offering him advice, and many similar letters exist. Mountbatten was by no means a good influence. He urged Prince Charles to “sow his wild oats” before finding the unsullied girl. It’s true also that Charles held Mountbatten in high esteem. Mountbatten, it should be noted, was blown up at Mullaghmore by the IRA before Lady Diana Spencer came on the scene.Episode 2Do the Queen and the royal family lay secret protocol traps for hapless visitors to test them when they come and stay at Balmoral? Did they apply this to Thatcher?❌ FALSEThe Queen and the royal family go out of their way to make their guests feel at ease at Balmoral. In real life, Mr and Mrs Thatcher arrived at the castle on Saturday, September 8, 1979, a mere three days after Lord Mountbatten’s ceremonial funeral at Westminster Abbey. No hint of that in this episode of The Crown. It has to be 1979 because clearly they have never been before. But unlike what is shown in The Crown, there was no torturing of Thatcher, no maids being superciliously rude to her, no wrong-footing in silly games, no making her ill at ease for wearing the wrong clothes or shoes, and no, Thatcher did not plead pressure of work in London and leave early.In The Crown Diana too is invited to Balmoral to be checked out and succeeds and passes the tests, which Thatcher failed. Diana’s visit was, in fact, a year later, in 1980, and at a time when the Queen was not there.Was Thatcher berated by Princess Margaret for sitting in Queen Victoria’s chair at Balmoral — a chair in which no one must sit?✅ PARTLY TRUEA scene shows Thatcher retreating from a stalking expedition and working at a desk, where Princess Margaret strays across her. She berates her for sitting in Queen Victoria’s chair. It is true that there is a chair at Balmoral that no one should sit in — a winged armchair that was indeed Queen Victoria’s. It is in one of the drawing rooms, and about ten years ago the Queen had it moved to a place where people would not easily reach it. Queen Victoria was very tiny, so had Thatcher used it at her desk her chin would have been where her elbows should have been.Episode 3Was Thatcher out of place when staying at Balmoral?✅ TRUEThatcher was not particularly interested in country pursuits, but she went to Balmoral quite happily for the traditional stay by the prime minister in the late summer of each year. After the first Balmoral visit in 1979 her husband, Denis, wrote a letter, later quoted by their daughter, Carol: “There was a house party and some of the people who’d been shooting didn’t come in until later and then there were more drinks — because they’re very generous with drink — and then we went in for dinner. In their language it’s probably very informal but nevertheless you’re on tiptoe. There’s the usual sort of after-dinner conversation over coffee and then the Queen withdraws fairly early . . .”Did Prince Philip summon Prince Charles to the hanging room at Balmoral to command him to marry Diana?❌ FALSEThe Crown suggests that Prince Philip carpeted Prince Charles after the visit Diana supposedly made there in 1979. Presumably the film-makers chose the hanging room, where they skin the wildlife, to emphasise the idea of lambs to the slaughter. No, Prince Philip did not arrange such an encounter. The truth is that Diana began to be pursued by the press in the autumn of 1980, when the media got a hint that she might be Prince Charles’s future bride. She ran the gauntlet of photographers every time she left her flat in Coleherne Court, Earls Court.Aware of this, Prince Philip wrote to Prince Charles either late in 1980 or maybe early in 1981. Jonathan Dimbleby wrote in his authorised biography of “an intervention from the Duke of Edinburgh”, which had “a powerful if not a decisive impact”. The letter warned Prince Charles that he should decide one way or the other because he was risking damaging Diana’s reputation. Prince Charles interpreted this as “an ultimatum”, which was not the original intent. Thus, in a “confused and anxious state of mind”, the prince went ahead and proposed to Diana in early February 1981.Did Prince Charles really leave for Highgrove immediately after his engagement was announced, the presumption being that he would be seeing Camilla Parker Bowles, who lived near by?❌ FALSEThe Crown depicts those famous embarrassing lines by Prince Charles in the engagement interview at Buckingham Palace: “Whatever love means.” In real life Diana laughed nervously. In The Crown she looks cross. They have Prince Charles departing immediately afterwards for Highgrove, his Gloucestershire home, by implication to see Camilla. In fact, Charles and Diana dined with the Queen Mother at Clarence House that evening, which was also where Diana was staying.In this episode of The Crown, having seen Camilla, Charles then flies off — the very next day — on his official Antipodean tour. No. The engagement was announced on February 24, 1981. He flew to New Zealand on March 29, more than a month later, then on to Australia, Venezuela and the United States.Were the royal family beastly to Diana after her engagement, accusing her of not knowing to whom she should curtsey and making a clumsy entry into their midst?❌ FALSEWe see Diana arriving at Buckingham Palace and coming into a room filled with the royal family and bungling the curtseys. Princess Margaret tears a strip off her and they appear to mock her. This is spiteful rubbish. Diana had been brought up in the shadow of Sandringham, at Park House. Her two grandmothers and four great-aunts were in the Queen Mother’s household. Her father had been equerry to the Queen on the 1953-54 Commonwealth tour. She knew precisely what to do.Was Diana really clueless about royal protocol?❌ FALSEWe see Diana being instructed in many royal customs by her grandmother, Ruth, Lady Fermoy. Lady Fermoy is portrayed as a harridan. In real life she was much gentler (at least on the surface). Not only did Diana not need instruction in that way, but the nonsense the screen version Ruth Fermoy tells her granddaughter is risible. HRHs do not curtsey to each other. There is only one Page of the Backstairs etc.Diana did get advice about her new role from the four men in Prince Charles’s private office — Edward Adeane, Francis Cornish, Michael Colborne and Oliver Everett. Later in life she liked to claim that she was given no help.Was Diana cooped up in Buckingham Palace during the months before the wedding?✅ TRUEIn The Crown we see Diana dancing alone to her Walkman, rollerskating in the state rooms and confronted with trolley-loads of flowers and letters from the public. It’s here we first see her bulimia. As soon as she was engaged, the real Diana left her flat in Earls Court, first went to Clarence House, then moved to Buckingham Palace a few days later. She lived there for about five months until her marriage in July.The palace is more of a huge office/Edwardian hotel than a cosy home, and it is understandable that she felt gloomy there. The contrast to her life with her flatmates and this new life must have been sharp. One of the pages, working there at the time and looking after her, used to go out and buy her takeaways. So the loneliness and isolation portrayed in The Crown is accurate. It is also true that Diana did not see Prince Charles much before the wedding. She called him “Sir” until the day he proposed.Did Camilla Parker Bowles and Diana have lunch while Prince Charles was away in Australia?✅ TRUEThey did lunch together, according to one of Charles and Diana’s biographers, Sally Bedell Smith. Camilla wished to help her. However, Diana interpreted the motive for the lunch as being to establish that she would be mainly in London, leaving Highgrove and Gloucestershire and hunting as Camilla’s territory.All evidence suggests that whatever he may have wished, Prince Charles was perfectly aware that his relationship with Camilla had to stop when he got engaged, and that this was understood by all concerned. As Dimbleby put it: “Now that he was engaged to be married there was, and there would be, no other woman in his life.” Diana went into St Paul’s Cathedral for her wedding with her head down, and came out with her head up. She was now his wife, and genuinely hoped she could make him happy.Did Prince Charles give Camilla a special bracelet before his and Diana’s wedding?✅ TRUEIn The Crown we see Diana coming across the designs for a bracelet that the Prince of Wales intends to give his mistress shortly before the wedding. It is marked with the initials “F&G”, which Diana told her author, Andrew Morton, she thought stood for “Fred” and “Gladys” — Charles and Camilla’s pet names for each other.In reality, in the run-up to the wedding, the four private secretaries in Prince Charles’s private office became aware that Diana was preoccupied by suspicions concerning the prince’s relationship with Camilla. A bracelet was commissioned as a way of the prince saying goodbye. It had the initials “GF”, which stood for “Girl Friday”. Diana discovered the bracelet. She confronted Prince Charles and was not mollified. Nevertheless, he felt he should hand over the bracelet in person. The Dimbleby-authorised version is that this was the only time he saw Camilla between his engagement and the day of his wedding.Diana later told Morton that photos of Camilla spewed out of her husband’s wallet on their honeymoon. She believed that his relationship with Camilla never ceased. Clearly there were acute differences between the newlyweds right from the start of the marriage. On their honeymoon on Britannia, Diana chatted up the sailors and cooks, and he remained, as he wrote at the time, “hermit-like on the verandah deck, sunk with pure joy into one of Laurens van der Post’s books . . .”Episode 4Did Prince Charles call Camilla every day during the early years of his marriage to Diana?❌ FALSEPrince Charles had virtually no contact with Camilla at all for the first five years. Yet since Andrew Parker Bowles (the husband of Camilla) was commanding officer of the Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment from 1981 to 1983, then colonel commanding the Household Cavalry and Silver Stick from 1987 to 1990, there must have been a few formal encounters. Dimbleby dates the resumption of contact between them to 1986, by which time Charles’s marriage had, as he put it, “irretrievably broken down”.Did Mark Thatcher cause a national crisis when he got lost in the desert during a car race? Was he Thatcher’s favourite child?✅ TRUEThe Crown shows Mark Thatcher setting off in the Paris-Dakar car rally in January 1982. We see Thatcher in tears at her audience with the Queen telling her he has gone missing.This did happen. Mark Thatcher got stuck in the Sahara desert in Algeria for four days, and although he was not lost, nobody knew where he was. There were fears that he had been kidnapped. Thatcher was deeply upset and was seen in tears when the press asked her about the disappearance. President Mitterrand of France offered military support. Denis Thatcher was loaned a plane and after a 31-hour search young Mark was located. Denis was none too impressed with his son, not least for the casual response he made to the massive rescue operation.The Crown stresses that Mark was Thatcher’s favourite of her twins. This is confirmed by her daughter, Carol, in the biography she wrote about her father: “The rest of us could relax a little because Mark had hung an ‘occupied’ sign on the family’s ‘embarrassing relative’ slot.”Did Princess Anne resent the popularity of the Princess of Wales, and the lack of publicity she herself got in the media?❌ FALSEThis season implies that Princess Anne minded the easy publicity the Princess of Wales received just for wearing a new outfit, when she was a hard-working member of the royal family who got none. The truth is that Princess Anne did not care one iota about that. She never sought publicity or public approbation, a quality she shared with the Queen and Prince Philip. In fact, the arrival of Diana was liberating for Princess Anne. No longer was she meant to fulfil a role as a romantic, fairytale princess in the eyes of the media — she could be what she naturally was, a successful and highly executive princess.Episode 5How true was the depiction of Michael Fagan, the intruder who found his way into the Queen’s bedroom?✅ TRUEIt was a great shock to the nation to hear, in July 1982, that a man had twice scaled the walls of Buckingham Palace, and that on the second occasion security had been so lax that he had found his way into the Queen’s bedroom. Fortunately he had no malign intent, otherwise it could have been a great deal more serious.We don’t know the Queen’s version, but Fagan has described what happened, and The Crown’s events are close to a faithful representation of what happened — the two break-ins, him drinking the wine and later his confrontation with the Queen. Along with the June 1981 firing of blanks at the Queen in The Mall (an incident ignored by the makers of The Crown), this shows the Queen’s courage and adroit handling of what must have been a terrifying experience.Did Thatcher usurp the Queen’s position by taking the salute at the Falklands victory parade?✅ TRUEIn this episode Thatcher has an audience with the Queen telling her about the successful end of the Falklands conflict, then announces that she is off to attend the victory parade at Mansion House, where she, instead of the Queen, takes the salute. It did not happen exactly like that, of course.Stanley was taken back on June 14, 1982. The parade actually took place in London several months later, on October 12. However, Thatcher did attend, while the Queen did not, because she was on a tour of the South Pacific at the time. There were definitely hints in the media at the time that Thatcher was becoming presidential in her approach.Episode 6The Prince and Princess of Wales went on a tour of Australia and New Zealand in March 1983. Did Diana throw a tantrum and demand to change all the tour plans so as not to be separated from baby Prince William?❌ FALSEIt was a new idea for the Waleses to bring baby William with them on tour. Diana did not wish to be separated from her son, born the previous summer. But, no, the tour was not rearranged. In order that they could be with William, the outgoing Australian prime minister, Malcolm Fraser (who lost the election just before the visit), asked a well-known philanthropist, Gordon Darling, to lend them his sheep station, Woomargama, which was situated between Sydney and Melbourne and close to Canberra (by Australian standards). Albury airport was near by and they were able to fly everywhere, returning each night to be with the baby.They took about 27 flights during their visit. The Waleses stayed at Woomargama from March 20 to April 17 and they had an entourage of 23 British staff travelling with them, including a private chef. Those staff who stayed at Woomargama made a significant dent in Darling’s cellar.Did Prince Charles feel overshadowed by Diana on that trip?✅ PARTLY TRUEThis was one of the early examples of “Di-mania”, but since the Waleses were getting along well and the trip was considered a great success, the prince was more concerned as to how it would affect her. She was partly elated and partly exhausted. He wrote that she was a great support to him at times when he felt gloomy.There was certainly a part of him that did not like being upstaged by his wife. At this time his annoyance was matched by his pride in her, but it is true that later on he came to resent how people were only interested in her clothes, and thus did not listen to his speeches.Did Bob Hawke, the republican prime minister of Australia, refer to the Queen as “a pig in twin set and pearls in charge of a herd of prime beef cattle”?❌ FALSEIn The Crown Bob Hawke is portrayed as a rabid republican, hoping a visit by an out-of-touch and unremarkable Prince Charles would lead to the removal of the monarch as head of state of Australia. His plans are thwarted by the public’s thrall in Princess Diana.Yes, Hawke was an avowed republican, but there was no appetite for change to a republic in 1983. Hawke got on well with the Queen due to a shared interest in racing. He would never have referred to Prince Charles as a “jug-eared bonehead”, nor made jokes at a press conference: “You wouldn’t put a pig in charge of a herd of prime beef cattle — even if it did look good in a twin set and pearls.”Episode 7Did the Queen sideline Princess Margaret when Prince Edward came of age?❌ FALSEIn The Crown we see the Queen and her private secretary, Sir Martin Charteris, informing Princess Margaret that Prince Edward has come of age and she would no longer be eligible to serve as a Counsellor of State. To explain — six Counsellors of State are appointed to act on her behalf while the monarch is abroad (or incapacitated). Only two of them actually act — and they do so in tandem.While it is true that from March 1985 Princess Margaret could no longer be a Counsellor of State (which did disappoint her because she had enjoyed doing it), it made absolutely no difference to her other royal duties. This episode exaggerates this to imply that Princess Margaret’s role as a working member of the royal family had come to an end.Another point — Sir Martin retired in 1977 and became provost of Eton. But he stays on right through season four. By 1990 he would have been 77, but his actor does not age. He remains as youthful as ever — looking about 45.Were the Queen’s cousins put away in a state lunatic asylum to save the monarchy?❌ FALSEThis has no basis in truth. In this episode Princess Margaret visits a therapist due to her “sidelining” and is told of the existence of her two cousins shut away in Earlswood mental hospital. In real life she took no interest in them.Next they have the Queen Mother telling Princess Margaret that these girls had to be shut away because had it been known that they existed, it would have had serious consequences for the monarchy after the abdication. The implication is that the world may have feared that a strain of lunacy had entered the family.The reality was that these two girls and three cousins had inherited a defective gene from the Trefusis family from which all five descended through their mothers. Nerissa and Katherine were the daughters of Fenella Trefusis, who married the Queen Mother’s brother, Jock Bowes Lyon, so this had nothing to do with the Queen Mother’s bloodline.Episode 8Did Thatcher defy the Queen’s wishes for sanctions to be imposed on South Africa?✅ TRUEIn 1985 48 countries of the Commonwealth wanted to impose sanctions on South Africa, but Thatcher did not wish to do so. As head of the Commonwealth, the Queen was inclined to support the 48. In this episode they concentrate on the differences between the sovereign and the British prime minister. On this there were obvious differences.The Queen was dedicated to the Commonwealth, one of the most important missions of her reign. Thatcher was not keen on it, and preferred to focus on good relations with the United States. On this issue Thatcher saw no merit in sanctions, believing that they hardened opposition rather than reduced it. The episode ends with one of the explanatory captions they sometimes employ — Nelson Mandela ending apartheid and crediting sanctions with making that possible.Did the Queen wish the world to know that she thought Thatcher was “uncaring”, and was she therefore responsible for placing a story in The Sunday Times expressing this?❌ FALSEHere they paint the Queen’s press secretary, Michael Shea, as an honourable man who would never betray the Queen or in any way impugn her political impartiality. In this episode, set in July 1986, the Queen tells Shea that just for once she wants her views known. Therefore, unwillingly apparently, he talks to journalists and the story breaks in The Sunday Times with the (real) headline. “Queen Dismayed by ‘Uncaring’ Thatcher”. The ensuing furore is such that Sir Martin Charteris (who in real life had long retired, remember) sacrifices Shea, telling him to resign and take the blame because a scalp is needed to divert the media from the Queen.The reverse was the case. Shea took it upon himself to talk to The Sunday Times. He then denied that he had done so, and when finally forced to own up, stated that he had been misrepresented. The Palace got rid of him by securing him a job with Hanson plc. What Shea had done was to relay his personal dislike of Thatcher’s policies to the world.The story of Shea has been exposed by many distinguished authors, not least Charles Moore in his authorised biography of Margaret Thatcher.Episode 9Was Prince Charles irritated by Diana’s surprise dance with Wayne Sleep at Covent Garden in 1985, which she intended as his 37th birthday gift?✅ TRUEThere was a private gala at Covent Garden in December 1985 (for some reason they say November, and no it wasn’t for his birthday) and at a certain point Diana slipped away and suddenly appeared on stage with Wayne Sleep and danced to Billy Joel’s Uptown Girl. This was meant to be a gift to her husband, but he took it amiss (an incident omitted from Dimbleby’s authorised biography). Sleep got the impression that Prince Charles was somewhat put out, instead of touched. In this episode Charles berates Diana with some ferocity.Did the tragic avalanche in Klosters in 1988 in which Hugh Lindsay was killed impact on the Waleses’ marriage to the point that Charles decided that he had to get out of it while Diana was determined that it should continue?❌ FALSEOn a holiday in Klosters, Prince Charles, Hugh Lindsay (an equerry to the Queen and his friend), a respected guide and Patty Palmer-Tomkinson went skiing off-piste. They encountered an avalanche in which Major Lindsay lost his life. According to this episode, the tragedy inspires Prince Charles to the conclusion that he wants to get out of his marriage and unite with Camilla, even though she is still married. Meanwhile, Diana declares that Charles’s near death makes her realise how much she would have missed him, so she declares that she wants to make it work.There is mention of the affair she had with James Hewitt and they suggest that she has dropped him. In fact, it wasn’t until 1992 that Prince Charles considered separation. And in real life the Princess of Wales blamed Prince Charles for this accident by taking Lindsay off-piste. She refused ever to return to Klosters and was dismayed that he did.Were Charles and Camilla meeting regularly at Highgrove by 1988?✅ TRUEAccording to the evidence, Charles and Camilla were seeing each other again by 1986. This series takes the Diana line that Charles and Camilla were in touch all the way through the marriage. Viewers should be cautious to accept this without question. They will see an angry Prince Charles, sometimes yelling at his wife, aggressive and demeaning to her. What is largely omitted is any account of Diana’s well-documented distressing behaviour, including tantrums and insecurities. The Crown clearly presents a one-sided portrait of the marriage.Were there several meetings between the Queen and the Waleses to discuss the crumbling marriage?❌ FALSEVarious meetings are shown in which the Queen discusses the predicament in which the Waleses found themselves and tells them to pull themselves together. In reality these did not take place. Until Prince Charles realised that Diana had been directly involved in the publication of Morton’s book, Diana – Her True Story, in the summer of 1992, he maintained a façade, and the hope that there was a way for the marriage to continue in some way or another.The Dimbleby line on this was that the royal family were aware of “the princess’s distress”, but did not wish to interfere. So there was no summit meeting with the Queen, Prince Philip and the Waleses until June 1992.Episode 10Did Thatcher try to get the Queen to dissolve parliament to save her skin at the time of the leadership crisis in 1990?❌ FALSEOf course Thatcher did no such thing. It is well known that when Geoffrey Howe resigned and delivered his devastating resignation piece (faithfully shown by The Crown), Thatcher faced a challenge to her leadership from Michael Heseltine. The outfall for that is well shown — the meetings with ministers, her gradual realisation that she must go, but then they introduce this nonsense.In The Crown they have her telling Denis that she has one card up her sleeve. So she goes to see the Queen and asks her to dissolve parliament and therefore call a general election. Theoretically she could have done that, and technically the Queen could refuse. But it never happened, nor would it have done.Was the Queen angry when Thatcher was ousted by her ministers in 1990?✅ TRUEThere is a genuinely moving scene in The Crown in which the Queen summons Thatcher to see her, and she presents her with the Order of Merit. I remember being told at the time that the Queen was not pleased by the way they got rid of Thatcher. So the line “I was shocked by the way in which you were forced to leave office” is spot-on. People have persisted in thinking the Queen and Thatcher did not get on. The Order of Merit is in her personal gift, as is clearly explained here, and her gift of it is evidence of her respect for her first female prime minister. Thatcher was surprised and delighted to be offered it.If further evidence is required, the Queen appointed her a Lady Companion of the Order of the Garter in 1995 — again her personal gift. She attended her 70th and 80th birthday parties and was present at her funeral in St Paul’s Cathedral in 2013. The only other prime minister whose funeral the Queen has attended was that of Sir Winston Churchill in 1965.Did Prince Philip try to comfort Diana during a miserable Christmas at Sandringham, then threaten her that it “wouldn’t end well” if she left her marriage?❌ FALSEIt is true that by 1990 Sandringham Christmases were something of a strain for Diana, but she was there to be with her boys. In this episode Prince Philip visits her in her room for a comforting conversation. She tells him that if Prince Charles and the royal family can’t give her the love and security she deserves, then she will have no option but to break away officially. He advises her not to with the ominous words: “Let’s just say — I can’t see it ending well for you.” To which she responds: “I hope that isn’t a threat, sir.”In truth, the real Prince Philip did intervene to help Diana, but not until the summer of 1992, when the royal marriage became a crisis after Morton’s book. There was an exchange of letters between them. He did everything he could to find a way to keep the marriage intact. There was not a hint of a threat in any of them (I have read them).The Queen is shown in several episodes in a magnificent uniform for various Birthday Parades (Trooping the Colour). Did they get that right?❌ FALSEIn the opening sequence of The Crown the Queen is shown in the uniform of colonel-in-chief, Grenadier Guards — a grenade on the collar, a white plume in her cap and buttons in ones. She wears the Garter riband and star. It pops up in several episodes.The first trooping portrayed was June 1979, when it was the colour of the Scots Guards being trooped, so they have dressed her in the wrong uniform — it should have been a thistle on the collar, no plume, and buttons in threes. When the Scots Guards colour is trooped, she wears the dark green riband and star of the Thistle. At the 1979 trooping Prince Philip also wore the green Thistle riband. In The Crown he wears the Garter.At the 1982 trooping the Queen is shown riding along as a grenadier again, so a grenade on the collar, and buttons in ones. But this time they give her the plume of the Welsh Guards (white/green/white). It should have been a Coldstream Guards uniform, a Garter star on the collar, a red plume and buttons in twos. With their massive budget and their various advisers, the film-makers could so easily have tweaked these and got them right.In real life the Queen had five separate Guards uniforms, one for each of the five regiments of which she was colonel-in-chief — Grenadier, Coldstream, Scots, Irish and Welsh (in that order).

查尔斯英俊聪明、很有才华，本质只是个缺乏爱和认可的小男孩，内心敏感脆弱，却生下来便是皇室的长子，众目期盼，遇真爱而不得。

第六集他和女王一起在庭院畅谈诗意时，母亲眼里的无感，竟让我有了一丝怜惜。

不谈社会伦理道德，卡米拉是可以满足他的情感需求的，而戴妃相比起来天真烂漫、自由活泼，却同样缺乏爱与安全感、自我约束的能力，在错误的位置上没有退路可选、没办法抵挡来势汹汹的复杂与压力。

If not choose bend, only break. 不仅皇室，有时候现实社会的高墙也是让人如此。

人也只能自渡，就如撒切尔女儿问她为什么偏爱儿子时，她说得那样“如果自己能力本身捉襟见肘，别人是帮不了的”。

这个铁娘子出生在偏远小镇，退休后成为大英帝国的首相。

我不认可她的冷漠功利与现实，却佩服这个铮铮铁骨的勇气与决心。

而我们爱戴女王，就是因为她的格局与慈悲。

尽量两个女人如此巨大的冲突与不同，当撒切尔夫人被迫退位时，女王仍召见与认可她的成就。

这一季也是对那个是否适合进入皇室圈子测试结果的反讽，一个史上最高分的黛安娜终身被困，没有通过的撒切尔夫人却坚持了自我。

三十岁是而立之年，但查尔斯并没有能看清楚自己与所处的位置，因为这个测试茫然走进包办婚姻。

《倾城之恋》里有一段话是“你如果认识从前的我, 也许你会原谅现在的我。

如果能了解每个人的从前，也许什么都可以被原谅了。

一见面就觉得可憎之人，若看着他从一个小孩，如何一步步成为现在这样，或许也会心生些怜悯。

市侩俗气的，也许从小吃够了没钱的苦；冷漠的，也许受尽了冷漠。

” 从前几季追过来，会觉得他也只不过是皇室的牺牲品。

不管是王子、王妃或任何一个皇室的人也只不过都是outsider, 重要的是the crown, 即使女王本人很多时候也必须忍耐放弃以承其重。

生而为人，处处都有枷锁，或许是象征权贵的皇冠，或许是社会体制大环境，或许只是内心的贪嗔痴。

每个人都并非简简单单的好人或者坏人，对的人或者错的人，善良的人或者心怀恶意的人，温良的人或者危险的人。

接受人性多面且立体的事实。

只有当了解了对方的缺点或暗淡却依然选择参与彼此人生，才是一段关系真正开始的时候。

“人生若只如初见”和查尔斯及黛安娜的世纪婚礼一样，只是个童话泡沫。

降低对亲密关系不切实际的过高期待，认识到彼此只不过是处处受限的凡人，相互体谅包容，才能会有细水长流的陪伴。

最近理想国有一篇叫《年轻人的爱情死了，不是被“985相亲局”杀死的》的文章，提到“现在的社会，很多人认为相比于爱的感觉这种不稳定的情感因素，经济利益之类的考量在婚姻中似乎更加可靠。

当寻找爱情沦为寻找婚姻的工具，爱情本身也就变得可有可无。

个体将自己视为可以面向未来规划的项目，被要求为自己的失败负责。

爱所带来的伤害和磨难也就不再被我们接受。

” 皇室的婚姻才更喜欢童话、不能有失败，也不是每个人都对权利财富趋之若鹜。

没有光环也意味着轻松自在，作为一个普通人，希望都可以找到适合自己的位置，成为自己，找到平静。

之前在书店看书拍得，像极了被婚姻孩子绑住得两个不相爱的人

闯入女王卧室的平民费根王冠第四季第五集（S4E5），是王冠四季以来我最喜欢的单集之一。

然而它并不在这一季的讨论焦点之列——戴安娜王妃显然是最引人注目的光点，人们再次被这位“人民的王妃”的美貌和气质所打动，为她在王室遭受的恶劣对待义愤填膺地去讨伐查尔斯和卡米拉。

但是对于当今社会，第五集，这几个八卦焦点几乎完全没有出现的一集，才是更有深入讨论意义的——因为我们当下面临着相似的痛。

IMDb有一条评论说，这是“commoners-focused”的一集，即，将镜头焦点对准普通人的一集。

我几乎怀疑是编剧为了和第二季第五集的“普通人”焦点呼应，因而将这一集也交给了一个普通人和王室的碰撞。

S2E5的标题是Marionettes（提线木偶），是一个普通的报社记者写了一篇文章批评王室，引发了一阵民众质疑和挑战王室的热潮，最后女王秘密接见了这位记者，记者给王室提出了几条建议，大多数建议王室都采纳了，也从而度过了这次王室舆论危机。

而S4E5，标题直接是这位普通人的名字：Fagan. 剧情如果当一个段子说特别简单：一个神经病闯入了白金汉宫女王的卧室。

但这一集显然不是将它当一个茶余饭后的搞笑段子来调侃，而是严肃地对待了这件看起来很小的“奇闻逸事”的前因后果，这串起的因果链和逻辑链，正是我们当今的世界，之所为成为当今世界的一个重大转折点。

如果没有看到这个历史背景及其与我们当今的关联，就会像一些网友一样奇怪地质疑为什么要把这种鸡毛蒜皮的、太阳报那种八卦报报道的“ trivial occurrence” 正儿八经地拍上整整一集。

80年代初期，英国失业率飙升，经济低迷。

一个伦敦的底层油漆工人，Fagan，丢了工作丢了老婆孩子，只能每两周排队领失业救济金度日。

与此同时，撒切尔夫人力排众议发起了对阿根廷的福兰岛战争。

战争获胜的消息传回来后，英国人士气大振，撒切尔因而赢得了民众再次的支持和拥戴。

而在战争胜利之夜，Fagan并不开心，作为一个最直接的受害者，他仍然强烈质疑着撒切尔的经济政策。

他甚至想跟撒切尔谈一谈。

他问失业救济处冷漠的工作人员老板是谁，他要去投诉，工作人员骂他是白痴，不以为然地说，你去找啊，去找国会议员。

于是他真的去找了国会议员。

国会议员用惯用的官僚礼貌接待了他。

接下来的对话非常精彩，我忍不住全文记下来：（接下来几个关键场景我都做了原话摘录，有的英文原文实在太精彩，我懒得也舍不得一一翻译了，大家凑合看吧。

英文对白一部分来自我盲听打字，一部分来自我在网上搜到的剧本原文）【对话场景一：费根和国会议员】"What can I help, Mr. Fagan? ""I want to talk someone about the system. "“Whcich system?" "This system, Britain." "What is it about this system that bothers you?" "It's unfair.And disgrace." 然后国会议员开始岔开话题，问他平时做什么，费根答做油漆装修，但是最近活不多，这是因为国家没有投钱在房屋装修上。

通过把自己的工作和国家的政策相联，他把话题引回到了撒切尔身上, 责怪撒切尔把钱都花在一场完全没有必要的战争上。

议员表示反对，表明自己支持战争的立场。

于是费根问他知道这场战争花了多少钱吗，”民主制度的捍卫者“国会议员说，“我当然清楚，政府有公布数字。

” 费根接着说：“Why would you spend over 3 billion pounds against total strangers rather than looking after your own family?" 接下来议员进行了一番义正言辞defend演讲，证明 Falklands 战争对英国而言的正义性和必要性，然后总结陈词，感谢费根的关切，“我会记录下来的”。

费根说，“不，你不会。

”赌气的议员就立马写在了小本本上，等于下了逐客令。

费根没有立马离开，继续把注意力切回撒切尔身上，看着议员背后墙上撒切尔的肖像照说，“真的有必要把她照片挂在这吗？

搞得像土耳其或伊拉克。

” 议员说：“She is my boss." “I am your boss, I am constituent. " "You voted for me?""You must be joking." 议员说，“原谅我没有把你当boss，因为撒切尔是保守党党魁，我是保守党一员，所以我觉得她是我的boss。

” 费根又开了几句不友好的玩笑，议员这下直接站起身逐客，并且再次礼貌地重申，"if you still wish to register your protest, I suggest you do by vote or peacefully in the street, as your right in a civilied and democracy. " "But I want to talk to someone about her, whom do I speak to?" 议员先是不以为然地建议了反对党党魁，然后戏弄地说，“如果那不行，就去找女王。

她每周二都会和首相有一个私人会面，为什么你不直接去白金汉宫直接问她呢？

“费根离开。

之后，费根真的坐公交车去了白金汉宫，从侧面的铁栅栏翻了进去，并且躲过了监控和门卫，进入了白金汉宫内部。

但是这一天，女王不在白金汉宫。

他被一个侍女发现了，但是赶在众人追查到他之前，他又成功地从白金汉宫出来了。

王室并没有很重视这次意外，仅仅当作一个笑话来调侃，甚至都没告诉唐宁街。

这也就给费根第二次成功的闯入提供了机会。

过了一阵，费根第二次秘密闯入白金汉宫，这一次，他成功地见到了女王, 在女王刚醒来的清晨。

【对话场景二：费根和女王】在最初一系列的惊吓慌乱后，女王和费根展开了一场意味深长的对话。

-费根：“就给我一分钟，好吗？

……我只是觉得你见一些‘正常’的人会更好（Just… gimme a minute, will ya?……I just thought it might be good for you to meet someone normal）”-女王：“我一直见的都是正常人（I meet normal people all the time）.”-“不，你没有。

你见的都是举止良好的人，卑躬屈膝。

他们不是正常人（No, you don't.Everyone you meet's on best behavior.Bowing and scraping. That's not normal）” - “所以这就是正常？

（And this is normal?）”-“这可以是。

如果我能够冷静下来（It could be, if I ever calm down.）”在一阵生活化的对话后……费根说，“什么方法我都试过，写信、跟我们国会议员谈，但是都没有用，民主的幻影（mirage of democracy), 所以我来找你，国家元首，你是我最后能够求助的了，一个可以真的做一些的人（the head of the state, you are my lastly resort, someone that can actually do something）." -“What is it you would like me to do?" -"Save us all from her." -" Who?"-"Thatcher. She's destroying the country. We've got more than three million unemployed. More than at any time since the Great Depression. Doesn't that bother you?" - Yes, it bothers me greatly. But there's nothing I can do about it." When you've been in my position as long as I have, you see how quickly and how often a nation's fortunes can change. Joblessness, recession, crises, war. All these things have a way of correcting themselves. Countries bounce back. People do. - Because they simply have to.- That's what I thought. That I'd bounce back. And then I didn't. First the work dried up,then my confidence dried up.Then…the love in my wife's eyes dried up. And then you begin to wonder, you know, where's it gone? Not just your confidence or your happiness, but your… They say that I have mental health problems now.I don't. I'm just poor."- The state can help with all of this.- "What state? The state has gone. She's dismantled it, along with the other things we thought we could depend on growing up. A sense of community, a sense of,you know, obligation to one another. A sense of kindness. It's all disappearing." -"I think you're exaggerating.People still show kindness to one another, and they still pay their taxes to the state."-"And she spends that money on an unnecessary war and declares the feel-good factor is back again. In the meantime, all the things that really make us feel good, the right to work, the right to be ill…the right to be old, the right to be frail, be human,mmm, gone. You may think you're off the hook. but she's got her eye on your job, too. You'll be out of work soon."-Let me assure you, Mrs. Thatcher is an all-too-committed monarchist.-"She has an appetite for power which is presidential, and in this country, a presidentand a head of state cannot coexist. Mark my words, she's put us out of work.She's quietly putting you out of work." 对话基本进行到这里为止。

这时候侍女端上来早茶，看到这位陌生男子震惊了，女王说，我没事，然后轻声跟她说，请叫警察来。

在警卫赶来之前，女王问费根，还有什么要对她说的吗，费根看着女王，沉默了很长一段时间，最后说出一个词，“No。

“ 我本以为这个沉默里他充满了失望，因为他发现他所resort的最后一个希望也对他的境况、对这个system无能为力，甚至，可能，也是同样的冷漠。

但是，他接着说，”Thank you。

“ 女王明显松了一口气，表情缓和，说，“我希望这件事后他们不会太为难你。

” 费根又说了一句，“Thank you。

” 这时候警卫冲了进来，费根伸出手要跟女王告别，警卫呵斥道，“Don't touch her！

" 女王微笑说，“没关系。

” 于是跟费根握手，并说，“I shall bear in mind what you said. " 费根不置可否地低下头，松开了女王的手。

警卫冲上来押走了费根。

女王一下靠在沙发上，猛松一口冷气。

这个故事的结局是费根被送进了精神病医院，撒切尔大获全胜。

这其中有两段非常重要的对话，值得摘出来。

【对话场景三：撒切尔 x 女王】第一段是发生在撒切尔和女王之间。

撒切尔为这件“国耻”向女王道歉，并且痛斥费根这样的暴力的”trouble maker“。

女王却替费根说话，”但他并没有使用暴力，实际上，整个过程中，费根伤害的只有费根先生他自己（他被玻璃划破了手指）。

“ 紧接着，女王把矛头指向了撒切尔：“费根先生作为一个失业受害者，不能全怪他。

你上台三年以来，失业率已经翻倍……“撒切尔打断女王，义正言辞地说，“失业只是暂时的，而且是给英国经济施加药物的一个必要的副作用（necessary side-effect)。

“女王也不示弱，打断撒切尔的演讲，“ 那我们是不是要对这个药更加小心？

一些可怕的治疗，别把本该治好的病人治死了。

像费根先生这的民众正在为生活挣扎，难道帮助他们不是我们共同的责任吗？

What of our moral economy？

“ 撒切尔继续不慌不忙演讲，“如果我们国家要转向正轨，就必须抛弃过时的、有误导性的“共同责任”（collective duty）" 观念。

只有单个的人和家庭。

自利(self-intereted)的人会让他们自己过得更好，这才是国家发展的动力。

我的父亲生意失败了可没有国家可以依靠，是经营家庭的风险和责任促使他成功。

“女王似乎对这样的三观感到震惊，笑着说，“可能并不是每个人都像你父亲那样了不起。

“ 撒切尔直接撕破脸，“你看，这就是我们不同的地方。

我认为每个人内在都有这个能力。

“ 女王继续追问，“甚至包括像费根先生这样的人吗？

“ 撒切尔说，“费根先生，另当别论。

两个不同的医生都得出结论，他患有精神分裂。

如果他因为精神问题会免于刑事起诉，那么他会被关在一个nice的精神病医院，以确保他不会再造成危害。

”说完这话，撒切尔看了一眼表说，“我得走了，我要去参加胜利大游行。

”女王惊讶地问，“什么胜利大游行？

” 撒切尔站起身骄傲的说，“夫人，我们刚刚赢了一场战争。

” 【对话场景四：女王x菲利普】第二幕发生在女王和菲利普亲王之间。

他们一起在电视机前观看意气风发的撒切尔在胜利游行上向民众挥手致意。

女王说，“我觉得她操之过急了，现在我们这里保安又加强了。

” 菲利普说，“她是为了保护你。

”“From what？

““From lunatics." 女王引用了费根的话反驳菲利普，"Normal people. My subjects."菲利普感到无语，“Come on. That man was clearly a lunatic.And a fool.“女王坚持，“Yes,but in the best sense, like Lear's fool.“ 菲利普打断：“Don't get all…Shakespearean with me.“ 女王笑了一下，不再纠缠。

所有相关对话到此结束。

不知道你看完我摘取的这几个重点，是不是还会觉得这只是一个街头小报的无聊闹剧。

当然我相信，这个过程的细节未必完全符合真实的历史，甚至，在后来的一次采访中，费根说，“当时女王马上就跑出去了”，也就是说，这场对话可能根本就没有发生。

所以基本上，这一集是剧作者Peter Morgan的再创造，但正是这次再创造，赋予了这一集巨大的力量，为观众理解历史和现实提供了极佳的诠释脚本。

仅仅就剧情来说，它呈现了一个极具张力的三角关系：费根-撒切尔-女王。

我画了一个简陋的图来简单说明。

从最直观和简洁的关系来看，撒切尔的政策导致了平民费根生活的不堪，他认为这是系统的问题，想通过直接与撒切尔谈话来纠正这个系统，然而这个通道被堵死，于是他只有不借助任何系统直接以个人的行动，闯入这个系统的最高层，面见女王，以争取纠正这个错误的系统。

他在直接目标上成功了，却在最终目标上失败了，因为女王没办法约束撒切尔的政策。

这是故事的基本架构，但它如果只是一个好故事，不值得我大费周章在这里码这么多字了，这里，更关键是每个人及人物关系背后所代表的符号、结构和社会事实。

我在这个三角关系里再加上更多细节信息，包括费根的社会身份，我们就可以看到另一个层面的意义。

这里的左右不只是字面上的左右，实际上就是政治光谱里的左右。

撒切尔是典型的自由保守主义者，费根的工人身份注定了他的利益诉求是偏左的（资料显示他某个时期还加入过工会）。

而女王在中间，她既不能左，也不能右（当然女王自己真实的政治立场另谈），对于左边的费根，她是同情，对于右边的撒切尔，她是怀疑，但是她能表达的只能限于态度了，没有更多的行动可以采取。

但这其中最关键的问题是，撒切尔到底采取了什么样的政策，导致费根沦落至此，为什么女王很怀疑她的政策，那么在反对声如此大的情况下，她的政策为何又能推下去，需要我们回到当时的时代场景里去看。

二战后的欧洲白废待兴，美国的马歇尔计划给欧洲的复原打入一剂强心剂，为欧洲带来一段时间的繁荣，这个时候，盛行于资本主义世界的是凯恩斯主义经济学原则，强调经济国家干预，也为民众提供诸多福利。

这也是费根说的，小时候所依赖的那个国家和社会。

但是到了六十年代末，强心剂的作用走到了尽头（这也是1968年欧洲革命风暴的背景），与此同时，战后确立的布雷顿森林体系解体，美元与黄金脱钩，石油危机爆发等一系列事件，导致欧洲陷入了70年代的经济低靡，英国处在这场危机风暴的漩涡之中，本土制造业每况愈下，通货膨胀严重。

这时候，时代在酝酿着另一股决定全球半个世纪的一股力量。

70年代，经济学家哈耶克和弗里德曼为代表的芝加哥学派（Chicago boys）提出的自由主义经济逐渐被重视，并在74年获得诺贝尔经济学奖。

这一派经济学因为从凯恩斯的国家干预主义中复兴了古典自由主义经济学自由市场的中心位置，而被称为“neoliberalism"。

中文翻译为“新自由主义”其实体现不出来与“new liberalism"的区别，但英语“new“和“neo”的区别是，前者就是”新出现的“，后者有”复兴“、”复制“的意思。

也就是说，70年代，人们开始认为经济问题原因是国家管得太多。

哈耶克的思想深深影响了撒切尔。

当时刚刚成为保守党领袖的撒切尔，曾经在一次党内会议上，举着哈耶克的《自由秩序原理》，让大家看见，并且说，“这本书就是我们所相信的。

”而这一经济思想在这个世界上最早得到政策落地的并不是英国，而是智利。

1973年，智利的陆军总司令皮诺切特用流血的军事政变推翻了民选的左翼社会主义总统萨尔瓦多·阿连德，成为智利大独裁者，并立即启用“芝加哥男孩”这批经济学家来推行市场经济，比如废除最低工资，取消工会权利，对国有银行和企业私有化等等——听上去是不是很耳熟，这些正是撒切尔在当政后也力推的。

当然，皮诺切特是一个争议极大的人物，不仅因为他暴力镇压国内异己，还因为他的政策同时带来了经济起飞和失业率飙升——这也几乎是所有推行新自由主义经济的国家会面临的争议。

对此，右派可能会说，“这是国家转型必要的side effect“——正如撒切尔对女王解释的一样，左派则会批评说，这说明经济起飞这些衡量标准本身的不可靠和虚伪。

有趣的是，皮诺切特和撒切尔是好朋友，撒切尔发动对阿根廷的福克兰战争时，智利是唯一支持英国的拉美国家，后来撒切尔还去探望过这位后来因为多项罪名被软禁的独裁者（有点不知道撒切尔痛斥别的非民选领导人的立场是什么）。

那么，在这一思想指导下，撒切尔在70年代末当选后，就开始在英国推行新自由主义政策。

在这里，为了方便大家理解这些政策及其影响，可以用一个跟我们密切相关的例子来对照，即我们的“改开”。

刚好都在70年代末80年代初，仿佛是世界规律注定的dynamic，世界上几大重要领导者人都聚齐了，要推行这一政策。

大卫·哈维《新自由主义简史》的英文版，他将四位领导人作为了封面并排在一起：撒切尔，皮诺切特，里根，以及我们的春天的故事。

当然各国具体的实施情况都有不同，但趋势一致。

在英国，费根面临的情境就是：国家福利打碎，改为私有化，把国有产业和资产都扔进市场的浪潮里竞争——意味着铁饭碗没了，工人们需要竞争上岗，只有少数有能力或有关系的才能抢到饭碗了，因此大批人失业；打压工会、抑制罢工——工人的能力被削弱，失去了议价能力（我猜这或许也是费根被各种忽视，没有办法通过任何合法手段表达诉求的原因之一）；收入税削减——鼓励一部分人先富起来；房价上升……当然，这些政策是撒切尔在三个任期内逐步采取的，未必跟费根事件发生时间完全重合，但那时国企和福利私有化已经开始，这在王冠前几集也可以看到。

我们可以看一张英国失业率图（如下），在费根事件发生的1982年，英国的失业率趋近历史顶峰。

新自由主义带来的不只是失业率，这是最直接和表面的结果，对社会影响更大的结果可能要数，费根跟女王说的： "What state? The state has gone. She's dismantled it, along with the other things we thought we could depend on growing up. A sense of community, a sense of,you know, obligation to one another. A sense of kindness. It's all disappearing." 简而言之，即，拆毁人们的社区互助和对国家的依赖，每个人都变得更加个体化，变成一个独立的劳动力，进入竞争性的市场，参与竞争，角逐饭碗，角逐注意力。

经历过改开的国人，可能多半会觉得这是对的，这是社会活力的来源，是经济的驱动力。

但是与此同时，当近些年“打工人”和阶层固化越来越多出现在公众的讨论中，当人们抱怨着看病难和读书难，当人们斥责着假摔的南京老太太和某些公司司机，当人们发现小区里谁也不认识谁，人与人的冷漠渗透到社会各个角落，丧文化成为年轻世代的主流时……我们的suffering其实跟费根的痛苦并无太大差异。

这是一种依赖于大量牺牲的所谓的“进步”和“跃升”。

当然，撒切尔们不会觉得这是牺牲，从他们主观上来说，牺牲一部分人当然不是他们的目的，只是手段，或者说阶段性的必要的现象。

因为他们相信，经过一段时间的阵痛，最终所有人都可以获得他们应得的。

强大的人坚信所有人都应该强大，懦弱的人不值得同情。

国家不需要为这些人负担。

弱肉强食才是社会进步的动力。

就像撒切尔和女王的对话说到的，撒切尔：“如果我们国家要转向正轨，就必须抛弃过时的、有误导性的“共同责任”（collective duty）" 观念。

只有单个的人和家庭。

自利(self-intereted)的人会让他们自己过得更好，这才是国家发展的动力。

我的父亲生意失败了可没有国家可以依靠，是经营家庭的风险和责任促使他成功。

“女王“可能并不是每个人都像你父亲那样了不起。

“ 撒切尔：“你看，这就是我们不同的地方。

我认为每个人内在都有这个能力。

“ 紧接着，女王不放心地追问了一句，“甚至包括像费根先生这样的人吗？

” 显然，这是剧作者借女王的话想要表达的观点，以及想要借助费根表达的观点，你们说好的先富带后富呢？

真的都富了吗？

还是贫富差距反而更大了？

真的每个人都可以走上这条路，获得成功吗？

在这一集，因为集中批判撒切尔，剧作者赋予了女王同情心，让人性的温情在女王和费根之间发生：女王和费根交谈，并握手，女王也因为这次来自平民的意外闯入获得了心灵的震动和对国情的新认识，于是对撒切尔展开了质疑，也在菲利普骂费根那个“神经病”时将费根归结为”李尔王”（如果我们对比起史实是女王根本没有和费根交谈，可能会更加唏嘘）。

当然，女王的反思不可能会是彻底的，在菲利普说“别跟我扯莎士比亚”时，她也只是笑笑不再纠缠。

她的同情让她发出了疑问，也为费根说话，但她的position让她只能止步于此。

至于撒切尔对女王这个追问的回答，当然也是这个故事真实的结局，正应验了福柯对现代性的透视：这些被定义的“不正常”，都要被推到边缘，集中关起来，比如送到精神病医院。

但从这一集里我们可以看到费根对社会其实是非常有洞察力的（当然要感谢编剧），他没有直接怪罪于某个为难自己的官员，而是直接将自己的困境诊断为”这个系统出了问题”（这几乎是社会学的想象力），同时，他将自己的经历精确地总结为”民主的幻影”：这个系统，设置好了民主的流程，提供了若干民众表达诉求的渠道，然而，国会议员压根不会把给自己投票的一个小p民当boss，依然认定自己的党魁或者国家领袖是boss；一个底层工人想要指出这个社会的问题，他只能，打破皇宫的窗户，翻墙进去找这个系统的最高元首谈话，然后被抓起来，送进精神病医院。

剧集的各组对比意味深长，一边是撒切尔战争的胜利，一边是费根遇到的这个制度带给他的不堪与挣扎，一边是女王忧国忧民同情贫困百姓，一边是撒切尔坚信人人都必须强大。

英国经济后来当然获得了飞升，从刚才那张图线性图我们也看到了英国的失业率逐年下降，直到1990再次回升，整体经济也在撒切尔下台那两年转为衰退，那又是另外一个故事了。

简单而言，纯粹从经济增长数字来说，新自由主义很容易带来飞升，也会带来物质的极大丰裕，但是它同时伴随的贫富差距的扩大、环境的破坏、人文精神和社会凝结力的陨落以及危机愈加频发的风险。

新自由主义就像给社会吃了兴奋剂。

有一位不喜欢这一集的网友在IMBD批评了编剧Peter Mogan： “he is fully out in the open attacking the Monarchy and anything conservative while implicitly promoting socialist viewpoints. He should know better since his mother escaped from Communist Russia and his father escaped from socialist Nazi Germany. ” 我没有查到Peter本人的政治倾向，但是这一季的Crown，的确充斥着对君主制度的批判（尤其是第7集对一个皇室秘密的揭露），我都震惊于保守的王室会允许这样的内容被公映——这可能从侧面说明了民主的存在？

也或许在英美，艺术创作的民主自由远远比底层民众的自由诉求表达多得多。

而对于本季中撒切尔，不难看出，剧情也是批判多于褒赞，撒切尔的政策带来的后果或存在的问题，本季通过整整一集来充分展现，而其政策带来的好处，却只是一笔带过。

或者更公允的说，第四季剧集是让王室和撒切尔互相批判，借撒切尔批判王室（第二集），借女王批判撒切尔（第五集和第八集）。

在2020年，或者说，在近几年保守右翼纷纷活跃于各政治经济舞台的情境下，这样的批判或许更能引起回应。

有趣的是，虽然费根被主流系统避之不及，却在非主流界获得了认可。

1983年，也就是“费根事件”的第二年，英国朋克乐队Bollock Brothers 翻录Sex Pistol的著名唱片Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols，将其remake成电子的“Never Mind the Bollocks “，请了费根来参与，唱片封面即是费根。

他是个多么酷的摇滚符号啊。

唱片封面上的费根

The Bollock Brothers的唱片

中间那位是费根先生相关的，必须值得一提的是这一集的配乐，开头呈现费根生活时就播放了The Cure 的Boys Dont't cry。

这又是神来之笔。

后朋乐队The Cure 1978年成立于英国苏塞克斯， 这首歌1979年发布，也是当时以及后来的大热歌。

像那位形容本集为“common-focused"的网友说的，“The songs from The Cure symbolizes the changing time in this era, foreshadowing the revolutionary concept of Punk Rock and Grunge music in the 90s, further constructing the weird position the crown represents in the modern world. ” （这篇文章写得比较匆忙，许多内容有瑕疵，欢迎交流，我之后会不断修改完善）部分Referece:网友评论来自IMDB：https://www.imdb.com/title/tt9812688/reviews?ref_=tt_urv失业率插图来自：https://www.economicshelp.org/blog/glossary/thatcher-economic-policies/

第三集 Fairytale 童话故事这一集完全聚焦在世纪婚礼上。

世纪婚礼1980年，查尔斯王子(1948-)向戴安娜(1961-1997)求婚成功，真是不知为何一开始这对会被视为天作之合，两者明明差了13岁。

求婚成功戴安娜和查尔斯王子于1977年中一个派对中认识，之前查尔斯王子曾与戴安娜的姐姐(Sarah Spencer)交往过。

剧中是查尔斯前去会见戴安娜姐姐无意撞见的。

剧中的小戴安娜1981年7月29日，33岁的查尔斯王子和年仅20岁的戴安娜的世纪婚礼于圣保罗座堂举行，共有2650位宾客被邀，共十亿人收看了电视直播。

戴安娜盛装打扮，她婚纱的尾部共8米长。

长达8米的裙子戴安娜的珠宝现在都传到了儿媳的手中。

戴安娜的锡兰蓝宝石戒指至于戴安娜为何如此备受爱戴，私以为一开始可能就是所谓的“民众缘”，就像是有的演员天生有观众缘，有的人天生有人缘招人爱，她的相貌和气质让她格外有吸引力就是招人喜爱；一是她不是循规蹈矩的王室成员，有着很强的自我个性，这一点上有点像格外有“人味”的玛格丽特公主，看她接受媒体采访就能发现，甚至太过坦诚和真实到和王室格格不入；

玛格丽特公主劝阻这场婚姻还有就是她致力于公共服务，服务于慈善事业；最后是她身上的悲剧色彩，求爱而不得，红颜最终薄命。

戴安娜分居后接受采访戴安娜的血统，经历和样貌，都可为合适的王妃人选。

正如剧中菲利普所说，等戴安娜更为年长些，会更出众，更自信，而查尔斯也会渐渐爱上她。

剧中菲利普和戴安娜之间倒是更来电哪怕爱情无法滋生，查尔斯便是在两边摇摆。

王室只想着劝查尔斯接受，没想到戴安娜无法像其他贵族女子一样对此“识大体”地睁一只眼闭一只眼。

王太后表示“两边兼顾”实属正常王室讲究的大局为重，查尔斯的怯懦与优柔，卡米拉的精明，也有戴安娜自身的天真，造就了一出悲剧，戴安娜太看重“爱”，没有她想要的”爱“她不愿意在这三个人的婚姻中扮演下去所谓该有的“王室成员”的角色。

戴安娜王妃王室本身就是讲究秩序而维护王冠，当你在王冠之下，你就要按着规则行事，为此戒掉情绪失去自我，而保证王冠稳定，这并无对错之分，只是选择不同。

就像是第三季讲到的两者对比，肆意有趣的以individualism为代表的玛格丽特公主，沉稳内敛不表露情绪甚至无趣的女王。

女王和妹妹而查尔斯自身本是怯懦，但他还都想要。

要么就一心为爱，铁了心和卡米拉在一起，大不了效仿不爱江山只爱美人的爱德华八世，曾为了辛普森夫人而退位；要么就履行职责，选择合适的王妃，为自己将来成为国王而稳定下来，和卡米拉一刀两断。

辛普森夫人和温莎公爵查尔斯和卡米拉的确是默契的一对，当初直接在一起就好了，也省得祸害旁人。

卡米拉和查尔斯而他在这个摇摆中，受伤的只有年轻的戴安娜王妃。

卡米拉太过精明，她本身就年长查尔斯一岁，她不会完全以“爱情”为重，更不会任人摆布。

果真被nanny带大的英国绅士们都好找年长型。

2005年，他如愿娶到了卡米拉，而戴安娜的生命停留在了36岁。

《王冠》第四季分集简介-第1-2集《王冠》第四季分集简介-第4-5集马岛战争《王冠》第四季分集简介-第6-8集《王冠》第四季分集简介-第9-10集

可能，无为而治是君主立宪这一制度中只能充当吉祥物的君主们从小即被强行刻入大脑的四字箴言，以至于女王不仅在她漫长的王权生涯中异常坚定地坚守这一原则，而且还将它或刻意或无意地代入王权之外的生活。

于是，伊丽莎白女王可以俯身倾听擅闯她卧室的陌生工人的心声，却粗暴地无视自己的妹妹、自己的儿子、自己还是个孩子的儿媳戴安娜的挣扎与痛苦。

“起初，都会有挣扎。

慢慢的，习惯了，就好了。

”不知道，女王在说这句话时，是真的相信那抗争的人没有人性只是个机器，还是自欺欺人的骗自己也骗别人。

我想，女王可能是真的相信挣扎的最后有阳光相迎，因为，她早已磨平了自己成为了这个制度最契合最顽固的一部分。

这已不再是“欲戴其冠 必承其重”的无奈与痛苦，而是“那是一个拥抱，我感到disgusting”的吃人与凉薄。

第四季给我的感觉是从第三季的阴郁里走出来一些，从predestined feebleness和destined tragedy到现实的冲突和世俗的困惑。

Diana纵使有她的私心，但Charles真的令人恶心透顶了，巨婴的完美代表。

很多人不喜欢这一季对Thatcher的诠释，原因不外乎拿真实录像与Gillian的表演做比较得出的“不像”。

毕竟不是纪录片，我认为改编电视剧给出的启示远不来自“像”。

也许电视剧塑造这样的Thatcher就是旨在反映blue blood和中产精英因为权力来源的分歧而产生的不可调和的矛盾，一种up in the air和down to earth的对抗。

第八集的正面交锋尤其精彩。

可能因为自己的软弱，我很欣赏本剧塑造的Thatcher形象，有unbearable的瑕疵，但更多是钦佩。

相反，对Queen越来越不喜欢了，如果她的冷漠、固化、不负责任代表了王室的一切品质，那还是希望王室早日gg吧。

第一集 Gold Stick 黄金护杖关键词：北爱尔兰，撒切尔夫人，蒙巴顿爵士这一集开场背景是北爱冲突不断。

1801年以前，爱尔兰由一个由新教徒支配的爱尔兰议会统治，这个议会拥有相当大的自治权，但新教徒在爱尔兰属少数人。

1801年爱尔兰议会被解散，爱尔兰成为大不列颠及爱尔兰联合王国的一部分。

1846年到1849年的马铃薯产量很低造成了一场大饥荒，许多人饿死，更多的人背井离乡。

爱尔兰的人口从850万减少到600万。

英国政府袖手旁观。

因此从19世纪下半叶开始爱尔兰的独立运动又抬头了。

电视剧《维多利亚》第二季有一集就专门讲爱尔兰饥荒。

在政治和武力斗争后，1921年，爱尔兰岛南部的26个郡从英国独立，爱尔兰共和国成立，北部的其它郡依然是联合王国的一部分。

北爱尔兰问题（The Troubles）简称为北爱问题，是指由1968年至1998年在北爱尔兰的长期暴力活动，该冲突在由英国和爱尔兰政府于1998年4月10日签订北爱和平协议后中止。

北爱尔兰的天主教徒和新教徒之间的争执至今未能彻底解决。

喜剧《德里女孩》的背景就是设定在90年代的北爱。

北爱冲突上一季第八集，1970年，爱德华希思(Edward Heath)成为首相，可惜在他任内的“血腥星期日(Bloody Sunday)”没有出现在剧情中。

1972年1月30日，北爱尔兰民权协会组织了一次反对英国在北爱尔兰进行的不经审判就进行关押的收容制度的游行。

当时英军司令部接到了有一个爱尔兰共和军的狙击手在附近活动的报告。

英军下令使用实弹射击。

最终英军向正在游行的市民开枪。

流血星期日是北爱尔兰命运的一个主要负面转折点。

爱德华希思这一集近结尾时在葬礼上，借爱尔兰广播对“血腥星期日”有提到一句。

1972年，北爱尔兰德里地区(Derry)，英国伞兵向正在游行的市民开枪，造成14人(剧中说的是13人)死亡。

查尔斯在蒙巴顿葬礼上讲话关于北爱冲突参考电影：《血腥星期日》，《风吹麦浪》和《饥饿》。

1972年，北爱人民因不满英国政府未经审讯便予以拘留的不人道做法，决定在1月30日这天举行一场游行。

英国陆军发表声明，定义这是一次非法游行，并将进行镇压。

1976年，哈罗德·威尔逊(Harold Wilson)因病辞职后，工党詹姆斯·卡拉汉(James Callaghan)成为首相。

1979年，保守党(Consevative Party)玛格丽特·撒切尔(Margaret Thatcher)赢得大选，后又赢得两次大选成为近代任期最长的首相，任期长达11年。

王室进行检阅撒切尔夫人(1925-2013)会见女王(1926-)，随后王室一家人前往苏格兰度假。

玛格丽特·希尔达·撒切尔，婚前姓罗伯茨（Roberts），1979年至1990年为英国首相，1975年至1990年为保守党党魁，是英国第一位女首相，亦是20世纪英国连任时间最长的首相。

撒切尔曾被一位苏联记者描述为“铁娘子”。

撒切尔原于牛津大学萨默维尔学院从事化学研究，后于伦敦大学城市学院属下的城市法学院修读法律而成为一位大律师。

她的父亲阿尔弗瑞德·罗伯茨（Alfred Roberts）在当地镇上经营杂货店，而且热心于地方政治。

他除了是地方议会的议员，并曾在1945-1946年任格兰瑟姆市长。

撒切尔夫人扮演者就是《Sex Education》男主母亲通过菲利普(1921-)和安妮公主(1950-)的谈话得知，安妮已经结婚，还是个奥林匹克选手。

安妮公主擅长马术，1971年，21岁的安妮公主便获得了欧洲全能马术锦标赛三项赛的个人冠军，并且当选为英国广播公司（BBC）年度最佳体育人物。

四年后，她再次取得欧洲全能马术锦标赛三项赛的个人亚军和团队亚军。

次年，她参加了1976年蒙特利尔奥运会，成为英国代表队中的一员，也是英国王室参加奥运的第一人。

在1976年的蒙特利尔奥运会上，骑手必须接受性别检查，但是安妮公主的名气太大了，蒙特利尔奥运会的官员决定不再对安妮公主进行性别检查，这也创造了奥运会的历史。

（来源：百度百科）

安妮公主1973，安妮公主下嫁马克·菲利浦斯(Mark Phillips)，两人相识于马术活动，育有一子一女，1989年分居，1992年离婚。

剧中有个短暂的镜头，他们两口子在车中争吵。

马克·菲利普斯是伦敦西敏寺教堂女王的第1近卫龙骑兵(1st The Queen's Dragon Guards)中的一名中尉，后升为上尉。

按照惯例，女王在马克·菲利普斯婚期授于他一个伯爵爵位，但被他拒绝。

婚礼结束后，安妮公主和马克·菲利普斯上尉住在格洛斯特郡盖特康比公园(Gatcombe Park)。

他们的儿子彼得·菲利浦斯出生于1977年，但并不具有任何皇家头衔，因为安妮和丈夫拒绝了让他生为贵族的建议。

（来源：百度百科）

安妮与丈夫这一集个人心中最大亮点是戴安娜(1961-1997)终于登场，虽然是短暂几个镜头，出场还身着莎士比亚剧的戏服，当时查尔斯王子是前来见她的姐姐萨拉·斯宾塞。

戴安娜扮《仲夏夜之梦》the Mad Tree查尔斯王子(1948-)一直私会已为人妻的卡米拉(1947-)，这引得其honorary grandpa蒙巴顿爵士的劝诫。

查尔斯与蒙巴顿通话1979年8月，路易·蒙巴顿(Louis Mountbatten)被刺杀身亡，享年79岁，一名爱尔兰共和军(IRA, Irish Republican Army)成员先前在其船上绑了炸弹。

船只爆炸随船的双胞胎外孙之一和一个爱尔兰少年船员一同遇难，蒙巴顿长女帕特里夏和丈夫的两腿都被炸断，但两人均存活。

蒙巴顿和家人，其实只有双胞胎之一在船上蒙巴顿将军一直被王室成员喊作Dickie，曾试图搞军事政变推翻威尔逊政府(S3E05 Coup)。

爱丽丝公主蒙巴顿的长姐爱丽丝是菲利普的母亲(S3E04这一集有专门讲爱丽丝公主)，在菲利普的心中一直是以父亲的形象，后和查尔斯王子更为亲近，果真是隔代亲。

菲利普表示有点小嫉妒蒙巴顿的父亲是一个德国王子，母亲是维多利亚公主，其是维多利亚女王二女儿爱丽丝公主的长女，也就是说蒙巴顿的外外祖母是维多利亚女王。

蒙巴顿伯爵刺杀蒙巴顿同日，IRA还对在北爱尔兰唐郡沃伦点行军的英国陆军发动袭击，共18名英军士兵丧生，称作沃伦点(Warrenpoint)袭击。

撒切尔夫人就此向IRA宣战。

撒切尔和女王通话1981年，一批IRA囚犯在北爱一监狱(Maze Prison)举行绝食，撒切尔夫人持强硬立场，坚拒恢复该批囚犯的政治犯待遇，并指“罪行就是罪行，无关政治(Crime is crime; it is not political)“，这句话被改编运用到撒切尔夫人和女王的电话中。

撒切尔夫人决定向IRA宣战第二集 The Balmoral Test 巴尔莫勒尔测试开场镜头是鹿，编剧皮特·摩根(Peter Mogan)太爱用“鹿”作为意象，早在2006年的电影《女王》中就用到了被射伤的鹿来代表代表衰落的王室。

《女王》简介：1997年，戴安娜王妃车祸身亡，举国悲痛欲绝，但是英国王室人员却对此采取了逃避疏离的态度。

这种漠不关心激怒了很多英国民众。

民众反王室的情绪相当高涨，紧急形势让王室陷入了严重的危机。

雄鹿戴安娜在外祖母(Lady Fermoy)的陪同下和查尔斯一同看威尔第(Verdi)歌剧《茶花女》。

观看歌剧戴安娜看到的是浪漫，查尔斯反而强调其传承和zz影响(legacy and political influence)，通过其二人在艺术品审美或视角不同，已初现二人的差异。

《茶花女》(La traviata，英文意思：the fallen woman)是由朱塞佩·威尔第作曲的三幕歌剧，改编自法国文学家小仲马于1848年出版的小说《茶花女》(The Lady of the Camellias，La dame aux Camélias)。

歌剧《茶花女》是在讲述一个女子的悲剧，展现上流社会的虚伪(La Traviata, Verdi’s tragic tale of a young woman’s self-sacrifice and the hypocrisy of upper-class society)，很妙的暗喻了。

朱塞佩·威尔第（Giuseppe Verdi，1813年—1901年），意大利作曲家。

代表歌剧：《弄臣》《茶花女》《奥赛罗》

二人对歌剧的见解十分不同撒切尔采取激进的经济改革，进行大幅度的支出削减，直接引起内阁不满，因为这会也的确导致失业率大幅上升。

撒切尔的评价在英国社会中十分之两极化，有些人赞扬她的改革挽救了英国，并成功使英国摆脱1970年代以来的经济困境。

可是同时有人认为，她削弱了英国作为福利国家的地位，以及打压本土制造业，使上百万人长期失业。

撒切尔要削减40亿英镑的开支，严格限制zf部门开支撒切尔和丈夫丹尼斯·撒切尔前往苏格兰巴尔莫勒尔城堡，和王室成员一同度假，女王会举行一系列活动来看这名客人是否能被王室成员接纳或喜爱，此测试被称为巴尔莫勒尔测试(The Balmoral Test)。

撒切尔夫人1951年与丈夫丹尼斯·撒切尔爵士结婚，两夫妇的婚姻长达52年，丹尼斯在2003年逝世。

丹尼斯·撒切尔平民出身的撒切尔讲究务实勤干，和有着繁文缛节喜爱骑马打猎的王室格格不入，测试并未通过。

女王一开始开帮着说话，之后也一脸嫌弃了由于其货币主义政策，她的经验也受到内阁和民众质疑。

撒切尔遭到质疑撒切尔夫人直接清洗内阁，和女王再次会面时，双方都开始暗戳戳讽刺对方。

撒切尔的to-do list女王说有的客人只能看猎杀动物的残忍血腥，不懂背后的仁慈和必要；撒切尔说裁掉的大臣都是privileged和entilement（这不就是在说贵族嘛），所以他们都缺乏毅力。

直接开讽戴安娜不仅通过了测试，更是大获全胜获得了全员的喜爱。

1961年，戴安娜·弗朗西斯·斯宾塞出生于英格兰东部。

1967年，戴安娜的父母婚姻因她母亲不忠而破裂，戴安娜及她的姐弟的抚养权归她父亲所有。

1975年，她的祖父斯宾塞伯爵七世去世，她的父亲约翰·斯宾塞成为斯宾塞伯爵八世(Earl Spencer)，戴安娜一家从诺福克郡的家搬到Althorp的家族大宅，戴安娜成为戴安娜·斯宾塞女爵(Lady Diana Spencer)。

大家好，我是戴着眼镜拿着话筒的阿拉斯加，片片。

头铁、血厚的见得不少，但敢在生前就彩排葬礼，还不止一次的硬核玩家，世上少有。

“超长待机”的英国女王伊丽莎白二世就是这样的选手。

先来一张女王年轻时候的美图镇楼作为英国女王，她一旦驾崩，可是举国上下的大事。

而她的葬礼方案也不是这几年才制定出来的，早在女王34岁的时候，国家就开始为女王驾崩做好了万全准备。

女王在不同地点、不同时间离开人世的各种方案，早就整得明明白白。

但一晃半个多世纪过去了，女王送走了一届又一届政府，熬倒了无数当初跟她同时活跃在政坛上的政客，她仍然屹立不倒。

最近，以她的王者生涯为蓝本改编的电视剧《王冠》强势回归。

目前这部剧一共四季，评分最低的一季9.2分。

没看过前三季不要紧，片片先给大家总结一下。

前两季主要聚焦于女王的青年时代，父亲乔治六世猝然离世，彼时伊丽莎白正代替父亲在非洲考察，在慌乱中登上皇位。

女王尚且稚嫩，扑面而来的却都是惊天动地的大事儿：带领英国走出战争泥潭的首相丘吉尔卸任；

个人认为《王冠》里的丘吉尔不输任何一个影视化版本，刻画出了晚年敏感焦虑的丘吉尔妹妹玛格丽特公主爱上了有妇之夫，两人想要结合，玛格丽特必须放弃王室身份；还有从13岁起就陪伴自己的丈夫菲利普亲王出轨。

身处皇室，家庭问题就等同于国家问题，“内忧”和“外患”同时袭来，女王是焦头烂额。

第三季，中年版女王上线。

玛格丽特公主则由小天狼星的表姐贝拉·莱斯特兰奇饰演此时的女王显然更游刃有余，但时代进步飞速，生性保守的女王，有时却与这个日新月异的时代格格不入。

到了这一季，除了女王本人，导演把戏份分给了另外两位举世瞩目的女性——撒切尔夫人和戴安娜王妃。

主海报也一改以往女王是绝对主角的模式通过这几位女性的故事，《王冠》之所以季季封神的原因也水落石出。

其一就是见微知著。

虽然讲的是英国皇室，背景是国际上的种种风起云涌，《王冠》的切入点却无一例外，都非常细微，但直击要害。

撒切尔夫人执政的头几年，她的经济转型政策造成了英国国内失业率居高不下，怨声载道。

与国内局势截然相反的则是，在英国和阿根廷为争夺马岛主权爆发的战争中，英国大获全胜。

剧中没用一个马岛战争的镜头，或任何表现国民失业悲惨现状的画面，来突出这种反差。

当然也有可能是为了省钱。

（一个玩笑哈哈）取而代之的是撒切尔在国内备受人们认可，风头一时无两的画面。

电视画面里，撒切尔夫人正取代女王检阅部队与之形成鲜明对比的则是一件女王执政生涯非常小的波澜。

一名长期失业的中年男子，想通过政府人才市场找工作，但始终没有结果，只能靠打零工勉强度日。

他认为，现任首相撒切尔夫人的无能，把英国带向了深渊，于是他不断向国会反映问题，却始终没有得到回应。

某天，求助无门的他竟突破了白金汉宫的安保系统，闯进女王卧室，想直接找她谈话。

但当天女王碰巧不在白金汉宫，安保人员也没有抓住他。

过了些时日，男子再次闯入。

这回，他终于见到了女王。

女王虽然非常惊恐，但仍然跟他进行了十几分钟的谈话，他通过这个契机，向女王传达了底层真正的声音。

与女王见证过的其他历史相比，这件事实在显得微不足道。

却把当时英国外强中干的现状刻画出来。

再举一个例子。

皇室的种种宫闱秘事前几季已经讲了太多了，皇室成员也是人，不可能永远精准、不出差错。

但为了维护皇权，不让人有机会质疑宪政，皇室必须假装完美无瑕。

皇室的表面夫妻远不止这一对这才有了玛格丽特公主无法与真正爱的人相守，人们对菲利普亲王的风流韵事也都避而不谈。

但你以为被掩盖的只有种种丑闻？

身为皇室，连基因都有可能要被藏起来。

一个偶然的契机，玛格丽特发现，自己有五位表姐妹生活在精神病院，而且这几位表亲在很多年前就被宣布死亡了。

知道真相的玛格丽特非常愤怒，找到母亲对峙。

母亲这才道出真相，原来，这几位表亲的精神疾病源于家族遗传。

如果世人知道了皇室血统中有如此大的隐患，那么本就岌岌可危的世袭制很可能再次遭到质疑，因此，皇室隐瞒了这几位表亲的存在。

也就是说，生而为皇族成员，从出生起，整个人就只剩下社会性，而失去了个人属性。

甚至连基因，都要为皇室、为统治服务。

如果你不符合标准，对不起，只有一个下场，那就是被和谐。

几位并不重要表亲如此，身处皇室中心的女王以及她的伴侣、子女更应如是。

如果说王室身份要求女王一家人抹去自己的人性，那么《王冠》另一个厉害之处就在于，集中展现了人物在理性与感性之间挣扎。

在几乎封神的皇权面前，这种挣扎更显示出了人物的丰富。

比如，哪怕贵为王室，家族成员之间也在暗暗角力，都想成为更光彩、更有权威的那个。

女王和撒切尔夫人政见不一，前者更倾向于无为，后者大胆果决，两人常常针锋相对。

某次，撒切尔夫人提到两人同龄，女王装着傲娇镇定地样子问道：谁更年长一些？

当得到自己比撒切尔夫人小半年的答案之后，女王表面上不动于色，却明显有被人压了一头的感觉。

这种较劲甚至体现在两个女人的服装上。

马岛战争大胜，撒切尔夫人正在政治生涯的最高峰。

女王一直对出征马岛持保留意见，但面对如此战绩，她完全被气焰高涨的撒切尔夫人压制。

深蓝色套装也是撒切尔夫人的标准性造型两人一个着深蓝一个着浅蓝，浅蓝被深蓝完全压制。

而等到撒切尔夫人政治生命的尾声，她面临国会质疑，如果没有女王支持，被迫下台几乎成了定局。

但女王没有伸出援手，她选择让政治体制自己去运作、疗伤。

这一次，深蓝浅蓝调换。

谁强势谁弱势，一目了然。

这种暗暗较劲几乎存在于每一个皇室成员身上。

女王唯一的女儿安妮公主，性格非常耿直，作风严肃。

因为她热心慈善，并且是一名职业马术运动员，曾代表英国参加过奥运会，很受国民爱戴。

这位公主可是货真价实的运动员然而，明媚热情的戴安娜嫁入皇室之后，不免有人将两人放在一起对比。

相比不苟言笑的安妮公主，开朗、有亲和力的戴妃显然更受人们欢迎。

安妮公主也因此心生不满。

不仅是安妮公主，甚至是查尔斯王子都不能忍受自己妻子太过耀眼。

基本上地球人都知道，查尔斯王子和戴妃的婚姻差不多就是一场骗局。

查尔斯钟情曾有过婚史的卡米拉，但为了维护皇室的体面，他的王妃必须是一个背景简单、性格纯粹的小女孩。

这个女孩儿正是戴安娜。

这还原度也是没谁了但这对强扭的爱人婚后都有各自的情人，尽管婚姻一度到了走不下去的地步，为了维护王室尊严，两人被迫成为表面夫妻。

戴安娜想和查尔斯重修旧好，因此在庆祝他生日的演出上大秀舞技。

人们倾倒于王妃的魅力，但看台上的查尔斯却不买账。

他强颜欢笑着，内心其实非常不满自己这位抢眼的王妃，风头几乎盖过他这位准国王。

随后，王妃独自访问美国，美国国民都对这位大方亲民的王妃充满好感，反响非常热烈。

外界看来，戴安娜是个完美的王妃，卡米拉也自愧不如，这更是激怒了查尔斯，让他们的婚姻彻底堕入冰窟。

圣诞夜，女王一家欢聚一堂，合照时，为皇室赢得颇多好感的戴妃，却像个局外人一样格格不入。

是不是差点就找不到人前闪耀的戴妃这时，身在高位的孤独与无奈被渲染到了极致。

观众也终于看到，神圣不可动摇的皇室里，有的只是一群被命运抬到这个位置上的普通人。

他们同样有贪欲、有私心、有嫉妒。

因此，看这部剧能看到的不仅仅是风起云涌的大历史，还有诸多鲜活生动的人物。

也正是在要求光明、完美的王权映衬下，才更突显人性的复杂、微妙。

这也是这部剧之所以一直保持高水平的原因。

第五季，观众熟悉的乌姆里奇教授将出演老年伊丽莎白二世，《信条》里身高190的美艳女主会出演更为成熟的戴安娜王妃。

我已经迫不及待想看主创怎么演绎戴妃离世的大戏了。

当然，如果想继续看视频解说这部剧，听我掰扯女王在位这六十多年来，波澜壮阔的历史，点点在看，呼声高的话，一定视频伺候。
