王冠第四季

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

看到第三集结尾，好生气啊。。

女王自己当年无论如何都要跟个自己喜欢的花花公子结婚，到了自己儿子结婚前，心里明知道自己儿子不喜欢黛安娜，还跟他说你忍一下，像你曾祖母学习，努力磨合一下，总会有爱情的，这样是为了巩固王权？？？？？

我可去你的吧，你自己咋不选个可靠一点的人磨合一下呢，这样你也不用忍受他一天到晚拈花惹草，也不好好养娃。

查尔斯实惨，从小被他老爹送进那个杨永信学校，妈妈为了自己婚姻啥也没说就这么把娃牺牲了，不知道给娃留下了多少心理阴影啊。

从小到大自己想的没人听见，想爱的人不能爱，所有人就跟他说为了duty你忍一下，谁让您是将来的国王呢。

结果现在一辈子做尽荒唐事谁见谁嫌不说，70多了还能当上国王吗，真是憋屈又憋屈的没有意义的一生啊。

这样看爱德华八世知道自己不想忍就及早退位也算是明智了，就把王位让给愿意牺牲愿意忍有责任心的人吧。

作为国王不及格，但至少自己的人生没有被王权吃掉。

而且退出得早，虽然后半辈子流亡海外，不被自己的亲人（和人民）待见，但至少想爱的人可以爱，不想做的事情可以不做。

看完前三集感想：还是自己挣钱吧，靠纳税钱的人活着，就得活给别人看，做个吉祥物，把自己的人生当成圆满的电视剧演给别人看，观众才不在乎你自己怎么想，你喜不喜欢这个剧本。

PS：查尔斯的很多行为我也很生气，比如叫卡米拉去陪黛安娜，不是脑子少根筋就是想让黛安娜知道，看把我们小黛安娜气得，查尔斯不是蠢就是渣。

但查尔斯的很多行为，也跟他的家庭成长环境是不开的，一个从来没有得到过足够的爱和尊敬的人，一个自己的欲望从来没有被满足被看见的孩子，你让他怎么成为一个可靠又正直的大人？

变成了现在这么不靠谱又荒唐的继承人，真的是可以预料啊，感觉他就是当代胤礽。

最可怜我们黛安娜了，结婚的时候还是个孩子，没有人帮她，没有人关心她，大家只关心有了她王室的脸面就好看了，就这么被卷进一泡污水当中，一生就这么被填进去了。

忍不住感叹Emma妹妹太像朱迪福斯特了吧！

建议以后演朱迪传记！

从第三季开始女王和菲利普就一直发糖，这一季只要他们俩在一块儿都很有点又搞笑又甜啊，女王说戴安娜给查尔斯跳舞庆生，很多高抬腿动作呢，菲利普说你怎么从来没给我跳过舞，女王一脸wtf我笑死了哈哈哈哈哈哈，然后女王说因为那个时候你有你自己的芭蕾舞女演员给你跳呢，简直反杀slay👏GA的撒切尔每次出来都像是降成了0.5倍速……最后完结看着戴安娜的泪眼想到现实的结局就有点感慨。

前三季好不容易积攒起来的对王室的好感到这一季都败光了。

所以前两季作天作地的菲利普最后是想通了，中心永远只有女王一人，其他所有人都是边缘人，其他所有人存在的意义都在于女王，而女王存在的意义就在于王冠，仅此而已。

于是他妥协了，fit in了。

可惜戴安娜再也没有机会了。

这世上千千万万人深爱你，偏偏是你的丈夫不爱你。

归根结底，她只是一个想要被爱的女孩子，仅此而已。

可是这个system偏偏就是不能容得一点人性。

女王找四个孩子单独谈话那集，看着那叫一个心痛，都养出来些什么样的人啊，看来看去，没有一个人能适合继承王位，于是女王暗下决心，我得活个一百八十岁（我瞎说的）。

想想如果女王真……接下来的这几个继承人可能搞着搞着就把王冠搞丢了。

第八集claire出来才发现真是十分想念她的女王。

而这一季也是olivia的最后一季了，以后肯定也会十分想念她。

olivia永远给人感觉就是Oh gosh她怎么这么可爱啊，第三季她把初恋搞成赛马经理，菲利普气得跑来强吻她。

第四季妹妹按她的铃，她急得娇嗔that's my bell！

她绝对是最不像女王的塑造者，却感觉特别喜欢能共鸣。

记得olivia拿奥斯卡之后上诺顿秀，诺顿说有种哎呀我们olivia终于被全世界看到了的感觉。

看完三四季现在很能理解这种感觉了。

唉，就这样结束了，心里空落落的。

本来就是想分享一下追剧感想和笔记，没想到收到很多交流意见和补充，感谢大家点赞评论私信🙏PS:单集分析请往下划哦剧评：第四季整体上的节奏来讲和第三季没有太大的区别(原班人马),在时间线顺序下兼顾重要国家历史事件与个体故事,同时每集相对聚焦于一特定主题。

不过第四季最大的不同是主角视角的丰富化(不论是戏份还是故事线中的重要性)——更多地倾向于戴安娜,以及被誉为“The iron lady ”的撒切尔夫人。

无疑,本季三个重头的主角是:女王、撒切尔夫人、戴妃。

在70年代末到90年代初,这三位主角也是当时英国最为耀眼、影响力最为广泛的女性人物,充分表现了政府与王室、婆媳、个人命运与社会进程之间的关系,当然也是女人与女人之间的关系(这才是真的一台大戏hhh)。

纵观全剧,第四季展现了1977年到1990年的英国历史事件,也是在英国在70年代“滞涨”危机后(英国在主要的发达资本主义国家中,始终保持最低经济增长率,最高的通货膨胀率,和最高的贸易赤字纪录),“撒切尔主义”对英国政治经济产生重大影响的阶段,也是英国王室的“光环”逐渐转向女王的后一辈来展现的时代。

到剧情本身，个人非常喜欢部分集数的剧本设计，比如下方详细分析的第二集；讲述“童话”中爱情的第三集、紧接着“最爱”引发亲情问题的第四集；最佳讲述历史大事给“48:1”，从时空交错、个人与群体的博弈，没有过多官方性的故事叙述，非常巧妙从个人视角、感情讲清楚英联邦事务、国际关系；同样“世袭爵位”以公主个人视角，用空间交错、场景强烈对比，最后相互联系，徐徐展开王室内部的冰冷规则；以及最后一集寓意深厚的“战争”，这是婚姻的战争，也是一个人与一个家庭的战争等。

历史线上因为十集各有侧重所以很多人物间的故事都是间接得知，这是因为剧集长度要“精”的结果，当然这会有很多遗憾：很多非常有料而精彩的大事没有展现。

比如撒切尔遭到爱尔兰军恐怖袭击的爆炸事件、戴安娜为了得到关心而怀孕摔楼梯等等，都是可以刻画人物和作为剧情高潮的事件。

演技上而言，包括女王在内的其他主演的演技依旧在线没得说（有点遗憾女王戏份变少，戏份难度也没有第三季高），撒切尔夫人神态实在是演的像！

令人惊叹得像！

大家可以去看看撒切尔夫人的纪录片，已经极近神似，尤其是撒切尔出身市井的那种独特口音和语调，不过有人说英音美音不是很get。

个人和某瓣历史爱好朋友交流后感觉，撒切尔唯一的美中不足就是80s初的表演略感苍，后期就比较合适了（上台初期真的是“刚”的精神矍铄）。

戴妃也很有气韵，评价为年轻的戴安娜再现一点不为过。

某瓣上有说撒切尔、查尔斯长得不像或者戴安娜选角如何如何的，想说这样的历史人物形象已经深入人心了，想要找到长相近且神似的人本身就及其困难，演员在动作表情的表演上极力接近已经充分表现专业性了。

纪录片《The iron lady》后续更新

按照音乐出场顺序建了歌单，欢迎来玩反响超大的第三集“童话”更了 第三集——童话？

爬楼不便，写豆瓣日记放链接了，欢迎继续在本帖留言交流呀。

个人非常喜欢第二集的剧本构思，问题导向、象征、引用、细致的人物刻画。

第二集主要内容：女王一家在巴尔莫勒尔堡度假，前后分别邀请撒切尔夫妇和戴安娜做客。

首相提前回到唐宁街对内阁开始大幅整顿，并且不惜风险计划推行新的财政政策，而戴安娜帮助王室捕猎公鹿成功，逐渐获得王室的青睐。

相比较第一集平铺直叙（有点失王冠水准），为什么说第二集构思巧妙呢，个人这样概括第二集的设计：一个测试，两个结果；一对矛盾，多个理念的冲突；一个意象，注定的结局。

首先，一个测试：巴尔默勒尔测试 the balmoral test，这也是本集的名称巴尔莫勒尔堡（Balmoral Castle）位于阿伯丁郡（Aberdeenshire）的巴尔莫勒尔庄园，一直是女王的私有住宅，王室常在此狩猎。

公元1852年，维多利亚女王以30,000几尼的价格买下了这座城堡。

（所以城堡内有很多维多利亚女王生前使用的物品）

所以王室要测试谁呢？

当然是政治上的新共事者——撒切尔夫人；以及可能符合王妃要求的种子选手——戴安娜小姐。

那么看看这两个人表现如何？

撒切尔夫人可以说绝对不及格，和王室种种都格格不入。

撒切尔夫妇来到城堡，他两被侍女带到休息的卧室，结果给了这对夫妻两个卧室，首相女士：“我还要和丈夫分房睡？？

”嘿嘿嘿（看到这主要表示感动，像纸牌屋里的总统夫妇还是分房睡的，室友夫妻◔◡◔）。

撒切尔先生面对一板一眼的侍女，忽然想到抽出几张英镑要给小费，侍女冷漠脸：客人都是走的时候放钱的。

（也许内心os:你当我是街边餐厅里的打工仔a）不过这还是前奏，紧接着：二人精细着装，首相还换上礼服（对撒切尔而言很是难得），却手忙脚乱地搞错了晚餐时间，下午茶时间来到城堡客厅准备吃晚饭，推开门……

王室：这两人脑子瓦特了？

；柯基：？？

我好萌？？

首相夫妇（端庄优雅）：什么情况？？

晚上玩一个类似于击鼓传花的数字游戏时，慢了2.5拍有余的撒切尔夫人：

掰手手数数的铁娘子快来看看第二天，集体去打猎，王室一家野外套装上身走起，此时撒切尔……

蓝色西装配高跟鞋，工作装我的最爱（王室：啊，这%*#）最后实在装备掉线，回来换装束，结果忍不住开始工作，but又坐错了地方

还记得维多利亚女王的遗物吗，谁都不可以动哦。

啊首相你破戒了包括之后两日的观看比赛等活动撒切尔也很难融入其中，最后因为内阁事务主动选择提前离开。

首相夫妇刚走，我们就迎来了二号选手小Di同学王室本来希望戴安娜能利用好这次“考试”尽力表现，结果她一不小心拿了满分。

在晚宴上幽默风趣又不失分寸，引得大家欢笑与菲利普亲王交谈，毫不避讳自己做清洁的工作还表现了自己对工作的热情，还让菲利普想起自己年轻时的军旅生活，二人交谈丝毫没有年龄上代沟。

最终能够一举成功，是依靠敏锐的观察力帮助王室成功狩猎公鹿的辉煌战绩（关于这头鹿后文会详细分析）

戴安娜成功判断对了风向，从而使亲王射击成功结果就是王室尽开颜，全家给予高度评价，满绩（当然不要忘记，这些优秀的表现的前提是：戴妃当时是一个天真年轻，无恋爱历史，还有贵族关系的女孩，这符合王妃要求）。

这也充分从这些细节描绘了戴安娜的天真活泼，亲切讨人喜爱的独特人格魅力，当然也有惊天美颜。

王室们满意得不行

查尔斯也赞叹连连虽然两位女性获得了不同的测试结果，不过这只是王室视角的选择，而两位主角在面对未来时也做出了自己的选择。

一对矛盾：浪漫的理想与尖锐现实的矛盾，与矛盾下多个理念的冲突。

查尔斯和戴安娜交流歌剧观后感其实说到事物的冲突矛盾，这一集中有很多，但我把它概括为浪漫的理想与尖锐现实的矛盾，是因为受到了“剧中剧”的启发：剧中查尔斯邀请戴安娜观看威尔第的歌剧（豆友提醒是威尔第的《安魂曲》）。

两人看完该剧之后有大概如下的交流：戴安娜很是喜欢威尔第剧中情节、人物表现的浪漫色彩，而查尔斯向戴安娜说若是只看到这些浪漫，而忽视了他的音乐对意大利革命的作用就不好了（现实色彩的部分） 威尔第，是19世纪意大利歌剧复兴时期最具代表性的歌剧作曲家，浪漫主义时期代表作曲家。

其歌剧以题材的社会性，现实性，人物和环境的质朴真实，音乐，戏剧的紧密结合，声乐歌唱的主导地位和变化丰富的动人旋律而著称。

他把意大利歌剧推向了一个新的历史高峰，为世界歌剧艺术作出了杰出的贡献。

同时威尔第的爱国歌曲，对意大利人民争取民主、自由与独立的斗争，起了巨大的推动作用，因此，威尔第获得了“意大利革命的音乐大师”的称号。

今天演出最多的四大名作是《弄臣》、《游吟诗人》、《茶花女》和《阿伊达》。

这个矛盾具体在不同主角的具体表现也不尽相同，在国家经济政治出现危机、王室的复杂锁链中，撒切尔、戴安娜和其他人也有着自己的理念与选择。

撒切尔夫人和王室为代表的贵族生活理念的不同而撒切尔夫人“举于版筑之间“，从学校到政府，是出了名的工作狂，时间管理大师——不放过每一个可以工作的间隙。

就连她的衣橱也是基本都是工作装，和丈夫之间也没有那些刻板的规矩，作为首相晚上还自己给家人熨烫衣服。

而对于国家事务，时间就是黄金，分毫必争。

看着王室娱乐时，抑制不住内心回去工作的冲动

（仔细看图）一个上午的政府工作会面进程撒切尔夫人和传统保守派政策理念的不同撒切尔是保守党党首，但是准确来说“保守”二字是对她经济政策性质的形容更加合适，而她本人充满改革的决绝和破旧立新的精神，激进而锐利，不惧阻挡。

所以面对依旧多为贵族出生的内阁保守派时，她觉得这些乡绅、贵族安于现状、无所作为，“上帝不该让胆小鬼做他的大使”。

于是她甚至不顾惜同党派内阁成员的身份，整顿内阁，排除年长、有特权/贵族背景、无毅力的旧人，引进政治新生面孔。

整顿后，白发老人少了许多，撒切尔夫人嘴角扬起也更高女王先问候式地提问：城堡之行第一次没让别人感到宾至如归？

（可见撒切尔与之前首相的差别）很快撒切尔就切入正题，表示自己开始重整内阁，排除的人主要因其贵族背景，并且要削减公共福利开支等新政策，当然这会导致失业甚至社会动荡等问题。

女王的回应是：

女王较少对政策发出评价而撒切尔夫人的回答是：“Not if one is comfortable with having enemies.”(对不怕树敌的人而言这不算什么)。

女王紧接着：“Are you？

”，撒切尔沉稳地：“Oh yes”（当然不怕）接着撒切尔引用了宪章派诗人 查尔斯-麦凯 的诗表达自己的想法。

这的确可以作为她自己的人生写照！

YOU have no enemies, you say? 你说你没有敌人？

Alas! my friend, the boast is poor; 呜呼！

我的朋友，这样的夸口实在可怜; He who has mingled in the fray of duty, that the brave endure, Must have made foes! 那些混杂于冲突中敢于承受责任的勇者，一定会树立敌人！

If you have none,Small is the work that you have done. 如果你没有，你所做的还实在太少， You’ve hit no traitor on the hip, 你没有狠狠打击过叛徒， You’ve dashed no cup from perjured lip, 你没有明晰过虚伪者的谎言 You’ve never turned the wrong to right, 你从来没有把错误变成正确， You’ve been a coward in the fight 在战斗中，你不过一直是个懦夫此时的撒切尔夫人，和城堡时拘束、不适应的状态天壤之别，政治舞台才是她的真正主场。

她的选择是放弃丝毫的自我浪漫，坚定地面对现实的尖锐，哪怕是敌对。

自信的微笑

此时的女王，略微牵强地带动嘴唇，还以微笑宪章派诗歌百科——是欧洲早期的无产阶级文学，也是一种新型的现实主义文学。

19世纪40至50年代，在英国产生了宪章运动。

宪章运动者为了进行鼓动宣传，经常在群众集会上发表演说，创办报刊，撰写诗歌、小说、杂文和文艺评论文章。

宪章派诗歌题材广泛,有鲜明的政治倾向性。

取材于现实的革命斗争，迅速反映当时斗争中的迫切问题和重要事件，诗歌中充满着乐观主义的精神和激励战斗的号召。

在形式上则广泛采用为广大群众所喜闻乐见的歌谣体和圣诗体,语言通俗易懂。

戴安娜，查尔斯与卡米拉面对感情的选择正如前文所说，戴安娜此时还是个女孩，对爱情心中充满了了期待与向往，在得到王室的接纳之后，她当然心向网之而接受，不论她是否在乎王室的尊贵，但是她心中一定相信自己是嫁给了爱情，嫁给了心中向往的浪漫。

而查尔斯只能打电话给卡米拉，告诉她“戴安娜在王室大获全胜”，然后沉默不言，等着卡米拉的回答，而卡米拉只好选择接受并且还劝告王子不要和自己联系，迎娶戴安娜，两人选择接受现实，却仍然悄悄将那份浪漫存于心中。

查尔斯此时已经选择了现实，但是他没有勇气这样来告诉自己爱恋的情人，只好等她来说出接受现实的话以自我宽慰。

他更不会有勇如前任威尔士亲王一样，放弃江山而去爱美人。

查尔斯此时对戴安娜应该心存期许，但一旦戴妃发现了现实的尖锐，查尔斯隐藏的那份浪漫重新点燃，那么浪漫和尖锐的界限就要重设了。

卡米拉通话时已经面无表情

音乐推荐本集最后是戴安娜被曝光，记者追拍，此时播放的背景音乐正是威尔第的歌剧《茶花女》的序曲《La traviata-Prelude》，序曲也是戴安娜这个童话的开始，但是这个童话是浪漫的理想还是尖锐的现实，最的结局又是否会同茶花女一样，则由时间来回答La traviata - Prelude (茶花女 - 序曲)一个意象，注定的结局

最后要说的就是之前被成功猎杀的公鹿，这个形象从本集开始就出现。

这只鹿有14分叉的鹿角，是皇家级别做鹿头装饰的极品。

它本来属于自然，生活在野外，天生丽质，美丽动人。

但是无意中被猎杀者的捕杀让它一步步进入巴尔莫勒尔堡附近的皇家地域，成为王室捕猎的对象。

结果是戴安娜的出现成功让它落入王室之手，而戴安娜也成为了王室选定的王妃。

美好的事物如此耀眼，以至于人们皆想得之，却造就了其更早的陨灭。

同时菲利普亲王是在屠宰这头鹿的同时告知了查尔斯王室对戴安娜接受的决定，所以王室高兴于获得了鹿的美丽，但是没有想到这本身会成为对鹿的残忍，如鹿角美丽外表婚姻中个人真实的感情又会是怎样的。

查尔斯和妹妹交谈时，妹妹说：“鹿头都被她拿下了，这一切是命中注定”，是的，正如这只鹿一切或许已经注定。

鹿头作为标本可以永久留于眼中，但是她自己只能遥望窗外的风景PS: 无独有偶，在07年的电影《女王》中，讲述戴安娜之死前后，鹿的形象也一直出现，本集编剧极有可能有所借鉴。

（经过指正：二者共享一个编剧hh）

《女王》中女王曾经提醒小鹿快跑、躲避猎杀，但是最终也未逃离死亡的命运第一集主要内容：保守党赢得选举,党魁撒切尔夫人成为首相；蒙巴顿爵士(前任英国海军元帅,东南亚盟军总司令，王室近亲)在捕鱼时因船体爆炸遇害,系爱尔兰共和军所为。

分析下第一集,更多是承上启下,说明英帝国的重重忧患和将要迎来的改变故事开头女王身着军装,高贵且肃穆,与皇室成员一同审阅着军队和接受人民欢呼喝彩,王室依旧保持着帝国表面上曾经的辉煌与光彩

可是形成鲜明对比的是反对声的台词与穿插着暴力冲突的画面:“英国人为什么还在这里(爱尔兰)”“我们采取新的手段的时候到了”“死亡女王”以及北爱尔兰军的暴动(之后剧情该组织影响重大。

自1978年起,围绕北爱尔兰独立的问题,北爱尔兰敌对双方不断冲突、矛盾升级,这也是英国一直以来的忧患)。

撒切尔登场不禁会想问：女王真的这么想吗？

作为君主制的代表以及经过最为传统的贵族环境熏陶，她心里多少会萌生和菲利普一样的想法，但是女王心里十分清楚：不论撒切尔夫人是什么来头，即使被报纸评价为“任性、固执、刚愎自用到了危险的程度”，这个国家现在出现了问题，需要一个这样的改革者。

同时女王她也感同身受居于高位的女性要面临怎样的挑战，而她将自己将应该履行的责任深深镌刻于自己的骨血，作为国家元首独立于党派斗争之外，所以习惯使然说出这样的话。

撒切尔恭敬且缓慢地向女王行了自己不怎么熟悉的礼，两人说了些应有的流程。

正如女王所了解的，撒切尔毫不掩饰地表现出自己的刚毅与政治决断，对女王很是亲切的提问是否在内阁不会留下女性时，撒切尔面对同为女性的元首毫不避讳：绝对不会有女性，因为女性太情绪化不适合居于高位（一不小心就成了双关）。

女王倒是礼貌地回答“我不会的”，并且还轻松地预测了下一届内阁的大部分变化。

撒切尔也称对女王刮目相看，回家后对丈夫道（注意语气）：这女人真聪明，对财政有兴趣，见多识广，热衷工作。

（结合后集可知撒切尔对大多旧贵族保守、不作为的作风一直心存不满）

然而在政治责任与国家安危面前，二人彼此关系怎样发展似乎有点微不足道。

首相是政治的实际最高领导，更是王室必须的依靠。

蒙巴顿遇刺后，女王还未缓过悲伤时，首相便通电女王并坚决表示，政府会向爱尔兰共和军宣战，这份决断犹如当年丘吉尔一样，坚决捍卫与国家荣辱一体的王室的权益与尊严。

戴安娜登场卡米拉一直是王子心里难以忘却的爱人，但是因为未来国王的身份，他注定不能和一个已经离过婚的卡米拉在一起，除非放弃王储身份。

就连曾经真心支持查尔斯做自己的蒙巴顿爵士也倒戈王室，这个如同自己亲生父亲的老者希望他选择一个王室需要的、人民爱戴的女子做王妃，在王室压力和爵士死亡的悲痛、后悔中查尔斯还是选择了妥协，但是和卡米拉依旧藕断丝连。

这时候查尔斯王子偶遇到了表演中饰演一棵树的戴安娜，心里留下了深刻的印象，这位光彩照人的女孩也进入了王室的视线。

可以这样说，戴安娜的出现对查尔斯而言是一道欣喜的光，他如其他人一样被眼前这个有趣、特别又不循规蹈矩的女孩吸引，一方面她特立独行的魅力让自己从王室处处规矩、束缚的生活中感到新鲜与活力，同时更重要的是他心里很快意识这也许是一个可以发展的“王室中意”的对象，后来也打电话想要进一步了解这个女孩的信息：出生贵族, 从未谈过恋爱；单纯漂亮, 年纪小。

王子对戴安娜是以“选妃”的目而交往，同时心存欣赏，但这还远远不到爱情。

（曾经面对记者关于查尔斯与戴安娜是否是爱情的提问，查尔斯本人回答了非常模棱两可的答案） 而戴安娜，面对这位温柔多才还有丝神秘的王子，眼神中一直充满了崇拜和对爱情的憧憬，她还远不知道自己所要面对的王子的全貌和他身后的王室是怎样的一个家庭。

音乐推荐第一集结尾，戴安娜在接收到王室邀请电话前，跳舞用的音乐为《Call Me》，曾为美国冠军单曲，创作和演唱者是70-80年代美国著名的新浪潮乐队“Blondie（金发女郎）”，拥有4支Hot 100冠单。

追剧时发现90s金曲《潇洒走一回》和本歌的前几句基本上是一模一样的，这就是传说中的汉化创（jie）作（jian）？

蒙巴顿遇袭而亡

女王母女、菲利普亲王、查尔斯，纷纷先后捕获了自己的猎物，然而就在蒙巴顿即将收渔网之时，自己成了网中之鱼，爆炸使得船毁人亡。

关于谋杀案的百科——1979年8月27日，蒙巴顿携家人在马勒莫小码头乘坐“幻影五号”游艇捕虾。

一名爱尔兰共和军成员，托马斯·麦克马洪（Thomas McMahon），早时趁船上无人值守时安装了一枚重达50磅（23千克）的炸弹，随后当蒙巴顿一家都上船后，麦克马洪引爆了在船上的的炸弹。

蒙巴顿的双腿被几近炸断，虽然他很快就被附近渔民救起，但在上岸之前就因伤重而死，终年79岁。

同船身亡的还有他14岁的双胞胎外孙之一尼古拉斯·纳奇布尔，他女婿的母亲布拉伯恩女爵，以及船上的15岁爱尔兰籍少年船员保罗·麦克斯韦尔。

爱尔兰共和军则迅速表示对此事负责，且宣称处决蒙巴顿是“为了吸引英国民众对英国政府持续侵占北爱尔兰行为的关注”。

新芬党当时的副党魁盖瑞·亚当斯则称爱尔兰共和军对蒙巴顿的谋杀行动“恰恰是蒙巴顿一生都在对他人做的事”。

同时蒙巴顿的死也向其他很多集一样，时不时提醒我们王室亲情的特殊性。

原来蒙巴顿很早就准备了自己的葬礼计划，他要求自己的悼辞由查尔斯来朗诵，于是做父亲的菲利普亲王他酸了，他酸了！

菲利普年轻来英国后，蒙巴顿将军对其而言如兄如父，教会了他太多。

而随着查尔斯的长大，这位老将军的爱从亲王转移到了查尔斯身上，开始支持查尔斯自己内心的冲动与想法。

然而当蒙巴顿站在王室希望查尔斯承担自己与生俱来的责任磨砺自己、并放弃卡米拉而“选妃”时，查尔斯却没有执行来试图反抗。

而亲人已去，面对父亲的质疑，查尔斯内心愈发内疚后悔，也展现出他本怯懦的状态。

这也进一步促进他接受命运对自己婚姻的安排。

第一集的名称是Gold Stick，即镀金的手杖，由某些王室成员在国家场合佩戴，Stick作动词也有坚持之意，正如第一季中王太后所说的：The crown must win, must always win。

第一集是在提问也是简介：王室同君主制度在本季如何继续坚持发展下去，国家经济政治随着新的政府将迎来怎样的未来。

真的厌倦了对戴安娜铺天盖地的同情和怜悯以及因此对王室的批判。

从客观的角度分析，对于戴安娜和查尔斯的婚姻而言，真的没有谁对谁错。

王室从来都是那个王室，都是那个腐朽、保守、冷漠、自以为是的王室，他们所需要的是“傀儡”，是顾全大局、舍弃小我，甘为人后的人。

而以上种种，其实作为贵族出身的戴安娜不可能不知道，欲戴其冠，必承其重这是最简单不过的道理。

戴安娜败就败在她太自我，既要又要。

她既想要享受王室带来的光环，又想在王室之中出尽风头，时时刻刻都要压本就自卑敏感的皇室核心成员的查尔斯一头，这是皇室根本上所不能容忍的。

而对于君主制的存留问题，其实王冠整个剧集一直是以其为线索的。

它给我们塑造了一个既不优雅也不高贵的王室，但同时也为我们塑造了一个能救英国于水火之中、作为首相僚机的王室，就像第三季中美国总统所说的：白金汉宫和唐宁街之间总是相互打掩护，而美国就没有这种东西。

所以我想，这也大概就是为什么在我们普通人看来如此腐朽、“非现代化”、“旧社会的遗毒”还能一直顽强的留存到现在的原因。

同样，对于戴安娜挽救了王室、改变了王室形象的观点我同样也不接受。

首先，必须承认戴安娜给古板陈腐的王室带来了接近平民的活力和色彩。

但很多人认为就是戴安娜改变了王室之前高高在上的姿态，从而顺延到了威廉这一代我认为是不准确的。

因为很明显其实这就是时代影响的结果，作为80后的威廉的行为方式肯定会和经历过二战的女王有所不同，所以在女王身上我们好像还能看到旧社会的遗风，但在威廉哈利身上或许就更加体现出一种“平民路线”。

同样，其实戴安娜和玛格丽特公主是一类人，她们都是那种极富有个人魅力的人，但不同的是，玛格丽特公主看到了自己所肩负的责任，学会了收敛光芒，而戴安娜却没有“屈服”。

但对于王室来说，这种魅力型人格真的好吗？

或许魅力型人格亲民的态度会增加百姓对王室的喜爱，但是王室最重要的任务始终是作为唐宁街的助手，大英帝国的象征，而这就需要王室保持一种一种中立、沉稳、“高高在上”的姿态，因为他不仅只是表面的风光，而且还必须要承担王冠背后的重量。

就像第三季第一集菲利普安慰女王时所说的，或许只有像女王这种看似没有魅力的沉稳型人格才能够真正承担起王室背后的那一份所需的坚韧。

当然，查尔斯身上的缺陷也是不言自明的。

他太懦弱、多愁善感同时又缺乏魅力并且极富大男子主义。

以上种种特点如果在一个像卡米拉一样懂得安慰让步的妻子的陪伴下或许也并不是什么大问题，但查尔斯偏偏遇到了一个光芒万丈且不懂收敛的戴安娜。

当一个自卑型人格遇到了魅力型人格，结果必然是悲剧的。

而查尔斯的懦弱和摇摆不定也确实对戴安娜造成了巨大的伤害

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

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。

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/

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).

第九集 Avalanche 雪崩1985年，查尔斯37周岁生日，戴安娜在歌剧院献舞，查尔斯为此大动肝火。

我还以为是王室比较保守王妃当众演出不妥，没想到是因为查尔斯觉得她又在抢风头。

小戴美翻了此时的音乐是Billy Joel的《Uptown Girl》，被女王问谁是Billy Jo El，看着一段笑死，像不像你的长辈紧跟流行。

Billy Joel，是一位美国歌手，于1949年出生，首张专辑是《Piano Man》，发表于1973年。

《Uptown Girl》MV1988年3月，查尔斯遭遇雪崩。

此时戴安娜也开始私会他人，但经历了这次雪崩事件后，她想再一次为婚姻作出努力。

戴妃送的录影带她送给查尔斯的结婚周年礼物是自己录的一首歌，出自《歌剧魅影》，而这也正是演员Emma Corrin的试戏片段之一。

善意换来了佯装的善意和背后的讽刺查尔斯抱怨到面对所谓的善意还要装好人可太累了，安妮上演了人间清醒。

查尔斯反而怒了第十集 War 战争1900年，撒切尔被同僚背后捅刀子，结束了长达11年的执政生涯。

杰弗瑞直接发起批评在她的第一任期中，1982年，撒切尔夫人就hk会见DXP，但没有出现在剧集中。

撒切尔夫人曾想在1997年以后让英国人在HK的行政管理中继续发挥作用，譬如保留一名英国总督，该建议被中方拒绝。

最后撒切尔迫于形势不得不做出让步。

“1984年-1985年的英国矿工罢工”也没有出现在剧情中，每季顶多一集从普通人的视角出发，而这季只给了Fagan那集（S4E05）上。

英国矿工罢工是一个影响英国煤炭业的重大产业行动，罢工的失败极大削弱了英国工会，也被看成是撒切尔政府和保守党的在political及意识形态上的一场重大胜利。

撒切尔夫人在1990年11月辞任首相后不久，即被女王伊丽莎白二世颁赠地位崇高的功绩勋章。

她的丈夫丹尼撒切尔，则在1991年获册封为从男爵，以确保儿子马克·撒切尔有头衔可以继承。

而这也是自1965年以来，唯一册立的从男爵爵位。

撒切尔一家2005年10月13日，撒切尔夫人80岁大寿，伊丽莎白女王、首相托尼·布莱尔、前首相约翰·梅杰等贵宾均应邀出席。

女王，里根和撒切尔曾在其执政末期背叛她的亚伯拉昂的杰弗里·豪勋爵也获得她的宽恕，并在席间发表演讲高度赞美。

杰弗里·豪勋爵这一部主要聚焦在家事的拉扯上。

看女王日常让我想到了《甄嬛传》里甄嬛教儿子弘历的两句话，“喜怒不形于色”，“心事勿让人知”。

想和女王谈心太难了，女王对于情感外露婆婆妈妈真是零容忍，上一季对查尔斯的威尔士演讲就有所展现。

这一季情愿去喂狗也不愿和儿媳谈话，和儿子讲话还要让对方站起来以求快速结束。

女王slay女王对查尔斯，菲利普对戴安娜，这两场对话格外精彩。

这一季的菲利普格外体贴戴安娜表示自己不被接纳不被认可一直是个外人，菲利普说这个系统内每人都是外人，除了女王。

Everyone in this system is a lost, lonely, irrelevant soul, apart from the one person, the only person that matters. She is the oxygen we all breathe, the essence of all our duty. ——Philip最后的画面是一家子人过圣诞，小戴摆出了“钮祜禄”要开大的表情。。

来到第四季，真心觉得这是目前到4季以来我个人最喜欢的。

个人感官上，这一季在平静的剧情中增加了更多的戏剧冲突，通过女王、撒切尔夫人、戴妃三个女人在这一个混乱的时代因为各自的原因对立，无论是家庭、王室形象、政治立场、地位与阶级，在几乎每一个点上女王都棋逢对手，在这样平静的叙述下，王室的故事放在历史洪流中，显出了强烈的宿命悲剧感。

Netflix在这个系列中对王室和君主制一直秉持着批判的态度，这个态度在这一季到达顶峰，通过女王、撒切尔夫人、戴妃三个人的对立强烈阐述这个观点。

女王一开始是欣赏撒切尔夫人的，通过撒切尔夫人自己的视角和后期她不肯签字的那一集加深了很多两人之间的立场不同，我觉得这里是要表达两个人之间天然的地位和出身导致完全的对立，撒切尔夫人出身平民，对于贵族、上层这一类的人天然有种不信任和反抗，而女王在任经过了那么多位首相，她对于这位平民出身靠智力和打拼走到领导位置的女人有种欣赏和好奇，但也不太理解这位铁娘子本身的视野和格局。

女王这个职位是一个系统产物，她常说君主制是这个国家的灵魂，她对于不管是殖民地还是本国都有一种在血液里的保护，而君主不参政这个原则又让她本能性地疏离国民，这个职位让她必须秉持平静甚至冷酷，从第三集煤矿事故能看出，也可能她本人多多少少有一点情绪不外露的性格，也或者是君主制本身对于她的影响。

印象最深的莫过于第五集，闯入白金汉宫的底层平民和女王的这一段对话，现在看起来仍然很有意思。

女王说： Joblessness, recession, crises, war. All these things have a way of correcting themselves. Countries bounce back. People do. 她把自己始终放在一个上帝视角，这个用词 – correcting，用得很妙，潜台词是我知道现在情况很糟糕，但总会过去，总有修正的时候，一切都会过去。

女王明白自己不能带入过多的个人视角，她的眼睛需要像上帝一样姚望整个国家而不是一些个人，Correcting这个词，已经是她能想到的最极限贴近这些个人悲惨命运的用词了。

费根接着说：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." 我觉得这一段话背后的含义不用再细讲了，I’m just poor这一句话足以表达所有。

这一段台词也很有意思，费根说撒切尔夫人-"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 fragile, be human, mmm, gone. 王冠这部剧，大多数时候讲王室个人，讲时局动荡和时代变迁，但在这一集里把国家和人民放到了台面上，这三个人处在三个不同的位置，他们共同串起了大英帝国的命运，每个人视角上的决策都没有错，或许应该说我们不应该在此处定调对错，但每个人似乎都失去了对于命运的掌控权。

这个系统就是这么运转的，小到个人、大到君主，最后对这个系统都是无奈的。

这一季的另一个人，穿插在君主和首相之间不同立场的剧情中的，是戴妃的出现，一个纯真浪漫且充满爱的角色，对婚姻无限向往。

我整体看下来觉得更多的是，戴安娜和查尔斯完全的性格上的不合适不对付，两个人在喜好、人生观就完全不在一个频道上，即便是普通家庭也一样会矛盾频频。

这样的基础下，加上王室这个系统对于两个人的要求，加速促进了这段婚姻的消亡，从算是互相有一点喜欢（本剧中我没太看出两个人在前期很相爱）到后面的两看相厌，关系完全对立只用了很短的一段时间，当然查尔斯本身爱而不得的心态我感觉也占了很大一部分原因，他天然对戴安娜这个人的耐心和爱是很少的，白月光威力太大，后来人都拼不过。

圣诞节家宴上，菲利普最后和戴妃的谈话，非常残酷的点出了事实 – 戴安娜应该收起本心，个人家庭的幸福无关重要，王室家庭的美满幸福才是他们所要提供给民众的，所以与其无望地求爱，不如看清楚她真正需要效忠的核心人物到到底是谁。

这个家庭中的每一个人都或多或少地奉献了自己，戴安娜不应该自私地索取这个家庭、这个丈夫给不了她的东西。

季末，相比之前的三季，每一季都以女王的镜头结束，这一季最后的镜头给了戴妃，预示着王室后面的故事，戴妃将会是一个很重要的角色。

关于戴妃的感想，等看完下一季再来写吧。
