    It took a lot for him to 'bend the knee '... but he did it.... for his Queen.... and his wife.
  • I made this comment in another clip but I think she was right to insist on this. She needed to show that she was able to command respect and be a strong leader. As a young woman, lots of people were assuming she'd be a weak Monarch and not able to do the job properly. I also like how Matt Smith and Clare Foy are able to have an entire conversation with their facial expressions. His face says, "there, I bowed because I love you and I want you to succeed. I'm still not happy about it but I'm sorry I made such a fuss". And her expression says "well I appreciate it but I'm still annoyed at you, and just for the record, I'm not enjoying this. It's not a power-trip for me, I'd much rather be equals with you. But I'm doing this for the monarchy."

  • She was the monarch. All of the nobility were required to pledge allegiance to him/her.

    They say the real queen got mad at him for kissing her cheek because it wasn't what he was supposed to do, and he laughed and asked her where she got that hat.

    After the Dance, only Cannibal, Grey Ghost, Sheepstealer, Silverwing, and Morning. Sheepstealer was in exile in the Vale, Silverwing was at a lake in isolation, Morning was nowhere close to breeding age and away from any volcano/ fire power. Leaving Grey Ghost, and Cannibal - the dragon that eats hatchlings and dragon eggs. The Targaryens needed to camp out at Dragonstone and keep Cannibal off the Dragonmount!

    This was at the Queens coronation her husband had to aware his allegiance to his sovereign and to the crown in private he was her husband and he ran the show in public and on state functions and on visits he had to take his place even tho he was her consort he had to walk 2 steps back behind her God the crown the duty to her people and the country and her self last no matter what above all she was the true meaning of selfishness In a private setting they are as we are they are a family like all families they have there ups and downs as we all do yet the sad thing is everything of there life is basically public for curiosity of the public eye they feel since there royal they need to know every aspect of there live and to tell the truth it’s really no one’s business truly Life is precious and since people want to know everything and she wasn’t left alone that’s why Diana died since people had to know every aspect of her life I don’t care if she was a public figure or not she deserved her privacy do we all not deserve that it’s a shame she wasn’t granted that peace of her life Just think of it like this when you have children there at your side 24/7 imagine having a camera in your face about the same amount of time funny how that is πŸ₯°
  • If I had a dollar for every time Matt Smith had to bend the knee to his wife on screen, I would have 2 dollars. Which isn't alot, but weird how it happened twice.
