Diálogo imaginario entre The Queen Mary y "The" Queen Elizabeth en "The Crown", Temp. 1, ep. 4:
Elizabeth: "...I was listening
to the wireless this morning,
where they described this fog
as an act of God.
Now, in your letter that you sent me,
you said...
"Loyalty to the ideal you have inherited
is your duty above everything else,
because the calling comes
from the highest source.
From God himself."
Yes.
Do you really believe that?
Monarchy is God's sacred mission
to grace and dignify the earth.
To give ordinary people
an ideal to strive towards,
an example of nobility and duty
to raise them in their wretched lives.
Monarchy is a calling from God.
That is why you are crowned in an abbey,
not a government building.
Why you are anointed, not appointed.
It's an archbishop
that puts the crown on your head,
not a minister or public servant.
Which means that you are answerable
to God in your duty, not the public.
I'm not sure that my husband
would agree with that.
He would argue
that in any equitable modern society,
that church and state
should be separated.
That if God has servants
they're priests not kings.
He would also say that he watched
his own family destroyed,
because they were seen by the people
to embody indefensible
and unreasonable ideas.
Yes, but he represents a royal family
of carpetbaggers and parvenus,
that goes back what? Ninety years?
What would he know of Alfred the Great,
the Rod of Equity and Mercy,
Edward the Confessor,
William the Conqueror
or Henry the Eighth?
It's the Church of England, dear,
not the Church of Denmark or Greece".
