wilson once heard the rumors of course rumors man darling you really know nothing do you well it's true isn't it the fourth in line now and by the time williams had children his children had children infringe for this list we'll be looking at moments or episodes from the first four seasons of this netflix historical drama that took us all by surprise obviously a spoiler warning is in effect which of these moments is ingrained in your mind forever let us know in the comments number 10 philip issues a warning to diana as a fellow outsider prince philip was always diana's greatest ally however when she declares that she wants out of the royal family this changes almost instantly if this family can't give me the love and security that i feel i deserve then i believe i have no option but to break away officially and find it myself i wouldn't do that why not taken aback by her defiance he realizes that they're not as alike as he first thought the atmosphere turns ominous as prince philip issues a threatening warning let's just say i can't see it ending well for you i hope that isn't a threat sir our foresight makes this moment even more sinister especially considering the rumors that would later emerge although we are both outsiders who married in you and i are quite different yes i can see that now as he leaves diana realizes she is now more alone than ever and decides that she must raise her shields and of course as we know this is just the beginning number nine the queen unveils her political side it's practically unheard of for the constitutional monarchy to interfere with politics but the queen vocalizes her disapproval when margaret thatcher refuses to join the commonwealth in condemning apartheid there are ways of britain being great again and that is through a revitalized economy not through association with unreliable tribal leaders in eccentric costumes but isn't that all i am prime minister a tribal leader in eccentric costumes certainly not rumors of a rift between them were already buzzing and it doesn't help that elizabeth decides to fuel the rumor mill despite her press secretary's warnings and if it were to become public knowledge that there had been an unprecedented rift between sovereign and prime minister would that really be so bad well inevitably the story erupts leaving the queen to face public backlash and of course thatcher's wrath my fellow commonwealth leaders many of whom i consider to be friends now feel that i have betrayed them on an issue most important to them or they need only read the sunday times it will give them no doubt as to your position immediate damage control gets underway to rectify this royal faux pas but to save face michael shea is dismissed from his post before he can even utter i told you so number eight lord mountbatten's death time to catch some lobster the first episode of season four briefly addresses the troubles that afflicted the united kingdom and ireland we followed the various royals as they enjoy some downtime during the 1979 august bank holiday weekend dickie embarks on a family fishing trip but not before writing a heartfelt letter to his beloved great nephew you're more than a man more than a prince and one day dear boy you shall be king [Music] and now to the sea while the sense of foreboding never disappears nothing can quite prepare you for this explosive climax the provisional ira claimed responsibility for the attack that claimed the lives of several on board including two teenagers even if you remember that fateful day it's no less startling to watch here number seven the tragic past of princess alice struggling to bounce back from their panned bbc documentary princess anne sneakily gets a journalist to interview her grandmother princess alice he uncovers so many unimaginable details about her painful past and still they only just cover the tip of the iceberg i was born deaf oh i'm sorry but otherwise perfectly normal well i thought too but obviously others didn't because then i was diagnosed with schizophrenia she was born deaf diagnosed with schizophrenia and committed to a mental institution where she was mistreated by psychoanalysts i was treated by sigmund freud he was not a kind man she endured so much overcame immense obstacles and made incredible sacrifices for the good of others her story is as heartbreaking as it is extraordinary and it's shocking that this interview is fictional because she deserves to have her story known but instead of business princess alice dedicated her life to charity work public service and campaigning for social justice often at great personal risk number six buckingham palace has a spy speaking of enigmas what do we make of mr wilson once heard the rumors of course rumors man yes whilst on a trade mission from moscow the kgb got him nonsense i know while suspicions are raised over a potential kgb spy infiltrating downing street the real culprit is right under the queen's nose showing her artwork sir anthony blunt is revealed to be part of the cambridge five a ring of spies who leaked confidential information to the soviet union the truth i'm afraid i can now confirm that the surveyor of the queen's pictures sir anthony blunt was the fourth man in the cambridge spy in almost unbelievably security chooses to turn a blind eye just to save face and protect ties with the us while elizabeth subtly drops hints about his treachery during their next meeting philip opts for a more blunt approach one wrong step you treacherous snake and i would expose you and have you thrown in jail but he stopped in his tracks when sir anthony drops another bombshell revelation imagine how awful it would be for example if those pictures saw the light of day now a storm it would create number five camilla and diana have lunch very happy to go with the flow well he'll love that he's so fussy and set in his ways he'll love it if you adapt to him audiences were surprised to learn that diana and camilla really did meet for lunch although reality probably wasn't quite as scandalous as the crown's imagining of the event bored and lonely diana takes camilla up on a lunch date invitation and the pair meet at a restaurant called menage a trois while there camilla makes numerous digs at the future princess while either choosing to ignore or being completely oblivious to her increasing irritation darling you really know nothing do you diana was well aware of camilla and charles's prior relationship but at this moment she realizes that while she might have the ring camilla ain't going anywhere either what about hunting not if i can help it more of a towny really so you see yourself living more in london than in the country why do you ask she's curious number four the queen discovers her uncle's dark history years after abdicating the throne the duke of windsor starts growing wary of non-palace life however his plans to rally support for his restoration instantly evaporate due to the revelation of the mob work files in these papers you're quoted as saying that the fuhrer's desire for peace was in complete agreement with your own point of view the documents uncovered his ties with top-ranked nazis as well as a plot to put him back on the throne a plan to reinstate the duke of windsor as king of england effectively betraying and dethroning your dear laid father in return for german forces being given free reign across europe the evidence against him is harrowing as elizabeth learns just how far he was willing to go simply to wear the crown once again and it continued bombing that is the continued slaughter of his fellow countrymen and former subjects would i quote soon make britain ready for peace it's no wonder the royals tried to keep this evidence from the public as it's too heinous to even imagine that this could have happened there is no possibility of my forgiving you the question is how on earth can you forgive yourself number

the government focuses on deflecting blame and the queen is nowhere in sight in 2002 the queen reportedly described her delayed response as her quote biggest regret number two the royal cousins i only ask because i am aware through professional colleagues of the sisters this revelation from season four left us scooping our jaws up off the ground in an episode that puts a spotlight on mental health princess margaret discovers that cousins she long thought to be dead were alive and living in a care facility they have pictures of the whole family which they know is their family to make matters worse we are just as horrified as she is when the queen mother justifies the family's decision to essentially erase all memory of the pair from public knowledge the hereditary principle already hangs
