Netflix is indeed an exquisite historical drama, and the screenwriter's skill is also very strong. The screenwriter of "The Crown" is a writer who has won two Oscar nominations for "Dialogue Nixon" and "The Queen". Pete Morgan, the first three seasons have been broadcast, each episode is an independent event, but they are connected to each other, which outlines a family portrait under the crown.
From the first season to the third season, there are traces of Charles's growth in every season. After I saw Charles's childhood growth, I began to have some understanding and sympathy for him.
1. The childhood without his parents made him sensitive and timid, and this made his parents dislike him even more.
Charles is the first child of Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip after their marriage. It stands to reason that the first child will get the endless love and expectation of parents, but Charles did not get all this.
Soon after he was born, the Queen and her husband Philip, under Churchill's arrangement, began a six-month cruise to the global colonies of the British Empire. When he was a baby, Charles was taken care of by his grandmother and nanny together.
Later, after the queen was crowned, because she was unfamiliar with government affairs, she often spent a lot of time dealing with official affairs, and was unable to handle official affairs. The queen found that she had hardly received orthodox general education since she was a child, so she went to study more and supplemented her own. Knowledge system and invited a professor to guide myself.
It can be said that the queen does not care about her son Charles.
At this time, the relationship between the queen and her husband is also difficult to describe. When
came back from the cruise, Philip was unhappy. He could not bear to stand behind his wife as a photo backdrop. At the same time, his children could not have his surname, they belonged only to the Windsor family.
He felt that his job, future, and freedom were all lost because of this marriage. And he was arrogant, energetic and free, and he began to look down on the queen's rigidity, stability and meticulousness.
He started exploring, traveling and even hunting for various reasons, sometimes for a few months.
until their tenth wedding anniversary, after the birth of their third child, Prince Andrew, they entered middle age and their marriage slowly began to stabilize.
So, he didn't care about Charles and Annie.
Even if the queen takes the whole family to visit occasionally, the queen who is busy with official duties will give the child to the nanny.
Parents read bedtime stories, took them to the zoo together to feed the monkeys, and slept in the arms of their mothers. Charles and Anne have never enjoyed the daily life of these ordinary children.
In 1954, the little prince Charles and Princess Anne went to see the famous Barbary Ape during the Royal Tour of Gibraltar. They went with the nanny. At that time, Charles, who was only 5 and a half years old, fed the Barbary apes alone.
It can be said that although Charles had a special person to take care of him in life and material in his childhood, his parents were not around most of the time.
This also makes the relationship between Charles and his parents lack the intimacy of an ordinary family.
He dare not express his thoughts in front of his parents.
and his character is sensitive, slender and somewhat fragile. The character of
made Philip, who was born in the military, look down upon his son very much.
He hates the false and stereotyped rules of the royal family, and feels that it is these stereotyped rules that have damaged his son.
looked at his fragile and sensitive son, he often couldn't help but violently scold him. The resolute soldier, seeing the weak chicken's son, is naturally displeased in every way.
is like in "Game of Thrones", the tough, cold-blooded, and rigorous general star Lan Daotali, but he has a fat, timid, and cowardly son Sam, just like Lan Daota uses every method to train and torture Sam, finally invited the wizard of Quells to bathe Sam with bison blood, hoping to use witchcraft to increase his courage, so Philip also sent his son Charles to an iron-blood school. The school was simple and strict. Netizens dubbed the Scottish version of Yang Yongxin School.
But don’t get me wrong, there is no electric shock, but there are isolation, small reports, building walls, doing physical work, getting up and running barefoot in the mud every morning, and then take a cold shower. Need to train, carrying a heavy backpack, jumping over various obstaclesWalk dozens of kilometers.
Philip believes that only in this way can the child's self-confidence and courage be exercised.
2. Philip's poor childhood has seriously affected his way of educating Charles
However, the principal of Charles Elementary School, once explicitly discussed with the Queen, suggested that Charles go to Eton College. The principal of
even made it clear to the Queen that Charles is a sensitive and introverted child, but he lives in a boarding school, which attracts a lot of sneak shots from entertainment reporters. People's attention to him and teachers' respect for him will arouse others. The jealousy of the child. Of course the school will do its best, but you have to know that children at that age are somewhat scary.
This is almost clearly saying that children like Charles are prone to campus bullying.
Therefore, it is obvious that Eton College, a noble school that trains gentlemen, is more suitable for him.
Charles, who learned that he could go home often and go to school at Eaton, was very happy, happily trying on dresses and taking pictures.
However, it didn't take long for his father Philip to deny it.
Philip even threatened the queen not to interfere with the relationship between husband and wife. He is a father. He knows how to educate his son and what is most suitable for a boy.
In this way, poor Charles was sent to Gordonston College by his father.
lived on the bed next to the window where my father used to be. The window was broken. When it rains or snows, there will be rain and snow floating on the bed.
In the past few years, Charles later described life as a hell. It is said that Charles had been kicked and beaten by a dozen other boys in the dormitory in the middle of the night.
even reported that Charles couldn't help but touch his tie, cufflinks, and pockets in public. In fact, it was a manifestation of neuroticism and uncontrollable tension.
really fulfilled the words the headmaster of the elementary school said to the queen. Teenage children are sometimes really scary and cruel. This experience of
left a big shadow on Charles, so when Charles became a father, he sent his two sons to Eton College without hesitation.
Why does Philip treat his son like this?
This is related to Philip's childhood. His mother, Princess Alice, and uncle, Duke of Mountbatten, are both the Hessen-Rhine family and a member of the German nobility. Therefore, when Alice escaped from Greece with her husband and children, Philip's three sisters were married to German nobles, and they were all Nazi officers.
He went to Gordonston at the time, just because he had no money, and his sister found this school for him. This school was once opened in Germany, and then moved to Scotland. He can save a lot of fees when he goes to this school.
Here, like Charles, he could not be treated unfairly, rejected, isolated, and beaten. It is also necessary to do those rough jobs and carry out those strict physical challenges. Young and energetic, he rebelled against the school principal and called his sister. My sister decided to visit him after going to London for the wedding of her relatives. But my sister and her family encountered an air crash during that flight.
At the funeral of his sister, Philip's father, instead of embracing the young son who had not seen him for a long time, publicly accused Philip of killing his sister. This made Philip extremely painful. After returning to school, Philip went crazy mixing cement, moving bricks and building walls, and staying awake. That was his punishment after fighting the principal. He seemed to exhaust all his energy. Go and cover the door of this school to wash away your guilt and sense of guilt and anger.
But his sister's death has nothing to do with him, although it was his favorite sister. All the students of
couldn't bear it and wanted to help him, but they were stopped by the principal. The principal said that no one could help Philip if he did not speak.
Until Philip was really exhausted and ran into the dining room in muddy water to ask for help from his classmates, all the students in the school went to help him, and the school door was quickly installed.
At that moment, Philip knew that there wasYou don’t need to carry these things yourself.
only later, after life became more and more smooth, he gradually forgot the sadness, sadness, and even humiliation at that time, leaving only good memories of growth and strength.
Maybe in that era, psychology was not popular, and the royal family didn't care about it.
But as early as when Philip visited Australia once, an Australian female reporter pointed out very sharply:
I don’t think you have the same place as others. You have been alone since childhood, your favorite sister, Sisi. If you and a Nazi died in an airplane accident, how would that affect a man? This is a trauma that will affect your own children and the growth of the future king of England.
Philip really put all his experience into Charles, thinking that his son must also go through the same events in order to grow up.
However, he has forgotten that the times are different, and Charles and his experience are completely different. There is no need to repeat everything about him.
A cowardly and sensitive child with a romantic and delicate heart. Facts have proved that Charles is very interested in painting, art, gardening, philosophy, and drama, and he is good at it.
3. The growth of her son means the end of her age and old age. The most complicated mother-child relationship in the world
As the Queen of England, Elizabeth is undoubtedly extremely competent, but as Charles's mother, perhaps she is not enough.
She actually has the instinct of being a mother, but every time Charles asks her for help, she always leans towards her husband's opinion, even if she knows in her heart that it would be more appropriate for Charles to go to Eton College.
She may not understand psychology, but she clearly knows that ’s scarred child will ruin the future.
But when her husband threatens her: ask her to keep her husband's heart.
between her son and her husband, she still gave in and did not protect her son.
Maybe, for a child, only those who devote more time and energy to him will have a deeper relationship with him and love him more. The Queen is completely different to her two sons, Charles and Andrew.
Even knowing that when Charles finally got through to graduating from that terrible school, it was probably his happiest time in the past few years to spend after Trinity College in Cambridge. When the government asked the Prince of Wales to study in Wales for three months, he knew That place has always opposed the royal family, and she resolutely let her son go.
, yes. This is the responsibility of the future heir, but as a mother, you have no comfort, no encouragement, and no soft talk.
threw his son into an environment that would isolate him, treat him coldly, and be hostile everywhere.
Even though it took Charles only three months to learn Welsh, and successfully delivered a speech to locals in Welsh, he became the first Prince of Wales to speak in Welsh, but it was only because of his son's quiet change. After finishing the speech, she still reprimanded her son sternly, without approval, encouragement, and patience to listen to his inner thoughts.
At that moment, I really felt sorry for Charles.
Although the queen herself revised the official speech written to her at the age of 25, although she considered asking Charles to modify and add her own ideas, once faced with Charles, she could not be peaceful and gentle, only impatient And rage.
But under the same circumstances, she can treat her younger son Andrew naturally.
All she told Charles was the responsibility of the royal family, but did she forget? How did her father teach her lovingly? Did Charles get these?
But for the youngest son Andrew, the queen is very patient. He grew up with him, reading picture books before going to bed, telling stories, kissing him, and hugging him, because Andrew was born 10 years after the queen became king. At that time, the queen was already familiar with government affairs, and Philip finally matured a little bit, and was no longer as noisy as before. The running-in trend between the twoYu stable.
and the queen's maternal love is also fully inspired.
Andrew is the queen's favorite young son. All the kings of
are very complicated when facing their successors. Knowing in my heart that he grows up slowly means that his own time is passing day by day, and even the end of his life. All the successors of
face their parents with mixed feelings. I clearly thought that I wanted to one day inherit the throne. However, that day also means the death of the father or mother.
The family affection under the crown is always heavy. When Charles was a guest at the home of the professor who taught him Welsh, when he saw the professor and his wife go together to send their children to bed, Charles was suddenly surprised. It turns out that this is the normal family with love. It looks like that parents love their children in this way. At that moment, he collapsed.
There is a fact that he has never doubted before, and that is-maybe his parents didn't care about him that much.
Therefore, even if he knew that Camilla didn't treat him sincerely at the beginning, Camilla would listen to him and care about his opinions, so he still fell into it without hesitation. And, the more his parents objected, the more enthusiastic he became.
father Philip hopes that he can be strong, brave, neat, and to a certain extent indifferent to emotions, but he does not have these, but his sister Princess Anne has them all.
Every parent, facing his children, is often ignorant and at a loss.
and rebelling against their parents is often the first step for a child to grow up.
