Moondust" is one of The Crown's better episodes because it uses a real event, the moon landing, to shine a light on the show's interpretation of Prince Philip's internal life. That is all to say, no. a b c Birnbaum, Olivia (26 October 2017). "Olivia Colman Joins 'The Crown' as Queen Elizabeth for Seasons 3 and 4". Variety. Archived from the original on 27 October 2017 .

St. George's House remains active to this day, offering by-invitation consultation programs for people from all walks of life to discuss topics like Faith and Artificial Intelligence. The Bishop of Worcester It seems like Philip’s wrinkles are much more emphasized than we’ve seen previously. This may be because we’re getting tighter shots on his face as he' focuses on the space mission, but the show also definitely uses makeup to subtly age the actors throughout the season. They definitely look older and look their character’s age, which supports the decision to replace the Season 1 and 2 actors with older actors for season 3. I feel like if Claire Foy had continued to act as the Queen, you’d have an “aging” look similar to how Clare and Jamie look in Season 3 of Outlander, after supposedly 20 years have passed. They both look older then they did, but they’re also the youngest looking 40-somethings I’ve ever seen in my life. It’s just hard to make really young actors look like they’re entering middle age.

It’s July of 1969, Queen Elizabeth ( Olivia Colman) attends church at the chapel on the grounds of Windsor Castle, with her family and husband, Prince Philip ( Tobias Menzies), dutifully in tow. Like a petulant teenager, on the walk to the chapel, Philp asks Elizabeth, ‘’Why do you do this? Week after week, like lemmings? What does it do for you, honestly?’’ She makes some off the cuff remark about keeping her focus on what really matters.

In 1967, Elizabeth and Porchey travel to France and America to learn about modern methods of racehorse breeding and training, while Wilson finally decides to devalue the pound. Cecil Harmsworth King meets Lord Mountbatten, and proposes a plan to replace Wilson. Mountbatten is attracted by the idea, but raises concerns about whether it is practicable. Wilson calls Elizabeth to raise his suspicions. Elizabeth scolds Mountbatten, who later visits Alice to discuss old age and their place in society.

Philip-ism: “Good job there were no little green men. They could be forgiven for thinking, ‘if that’s all planet Earth has got to offer, let’s give the place a miss.’” It’s easy to see why the rapidly expanding options in the 20th and 21st centuries—in both what to believe and how to be entertained—coincided with rising secularism. Rather than something assumed, Christian faith became just one among many options in an ever-expanding landscape of pluralistic paths (what Charles Taylor calls the Nova Effect in his book, A Secular Age ). And once Christian faith is relegated to the same categorical plane as “things to do with your time and attention” in an entertainment-saturated world, church becomes defined by the logic of consumerism. The congregation becomes an audience. The preacher becomes a salesman. The expectation is amusement. The competition is fierce.

Episode 10, “Cri de Cour”: What was the big deal about Princess Margaret's affair with Roddy Llewellyn?

She was swiftly followed by the Queen Mother who advanced with hand outstretched, and asked, "And who are you?" and when I gave my name, she exclaimed: "Oh yes," and I flattered myself that someone had told her one day we would meet.

As a believer and follower of Jesus Christ, I don’t necessarily watch TV with the thought of themes of redemption, good vs. evil, or any other themes. I’m usually looking for some form of escapism from the mundane or a little entertainment. One episode of The Crown, however, particularly grabbed my attention, causing me to ponder the theme of ‘everyman’ in season 3, episode 7 entitled, “Moondust.” Though he had moved on from Windsor, Robin remained in touch with the royals. Prince Philip came to visit him at Worcester and see the goings on of a typical diocese, and the family received visits from Prince Charles and Princess Anne over the years. In 1980, the Queen came for the distribution of the Royal Maundy gifts during Holy Week and Robin and Henrietta hosted the British Monarch and Philip at their home in Hartlebury Castle that evening.Living and working so closely with the royal family, it was only natural that Robin developed a close relationship with the royals, and even took part in some milestone moments with the younger generation. The essence of the Lay Stewards role is to provide a Christian welcome to St George’s whether at one of the major Christian festivals, a Royal event or Sunday morning services. The very first duty for the newly formed group was the opening of St George’s House by The Queen in 1966. When is The Crown season 3 on Netflix? Who is in the cast, and what is going to happen?".

Philip-isms about Dean Woods’ spiritual retreat for priests: “Your concentration camp for spiritual defectives.” “Do I need to show symptoms of despair? Should I sigh and moan dramatically. One does like to fit in.” Nerves aside, he clearly had the royal family's vote of confidence, as Robin was soon charged with overseeing the creation of a resting place and memorial for the Queen's father, George VI. The structure, which became known as the King George VI Chantry, was the first structural addition to St. George's Chapel since 1475.
