"All it takes it for something worse to come along, and you realize it was actually happiness after all." That line hit me so hard when I first heard it. It's true.

I love the story of how Jackie found Prince Philip sitting on the floor, keeping young John company after the funeral. Despite his brusque front, that was the sign of a kind and thoughtful man.

"I want them to see what they did to Jack" - Jackie Kennedy after being asked if she wanted to change clothed

You know that Prince Philip travel to Washington D.C. for the state funeral of President Kennedy. As The Queen couldn’t go, as she was pregnant with her 4th child.

My god the writing was so smart. "No i think it was deliberate" and it makes you rethink every scene!! Both Jackie and Elizabeth are powerful figures on screen, so this makes so much sense.

My father was on his way to Germany where he was stationed with the U.S. Army and my mother and I accompanied him there. We stopped in the UK to visit my mothers family and had to travel the day that everyone found out that Kennedy was dead. My parents said it was a surreal experience traveling from England to Germany that day. All the shops were closed and they couldn't buy milk for me. It was as if Europe was holding its breath.

"There is a thing about unhappiness.All it takes is something worst to come along and you realise it was happiness afterall."-A thoughtful line with such deep meaning 💜💜

You cut off the best part of the entire sequence. Just as she did for 9/11 she thought about the compassion and respect and had Westminsters bell rung for an a hour.

Can you imagine how helpless Philip must have felt. The ruler of a world power was killed. How can he protect his wife and family from not even the president could be protected.

This episode is moving from beginning to end. Claire Foy played these scenes to the fullest. One of my favorites of the whole series.

They're very precise. She couldn't get the car door open, the Secret Service had to do it, I remember thinking how exhausted she must be.

Whenever the assassination was mentioned when I was growing up, my mother would say how she could remember the footage of the plane arriving back in Washington. People were wondering where Mrs Kennedy was, then the cargo bay door opened and there she was, standing with her hand on the coffin.

“Let the word go forth from this time and place that the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans” Every year on the first day of school I use that quote from his inaugural address to illustrate to my students how they have the power to change the world and how Jack had that same hope for young Americans of his day. A man definitely taken way too soon.

Dramatic license was taken here, as Kennedy's assassination happened around 7pm British time, which in November meant it would be pitch dark, as they were into winter time.

3:40 it was deliberate. "I want them to see what they've done to Jack"

I can't help it: Claire Foy will always be the ultimate Queen Elizabeth for me.

Mrs Kennedy said she wore the bloodstained clothes so everyone could see what THEY had done. Prescient

I saw all of this on TV - I remember every movement of Mrs Kennedy's when they got to Washington--the look on her face, Bobby holding. her hand--so long ago but as if it were last week.

When you rhink about it, Jackie Kennedy was a real class act. That woman was stoic.

I'm English and when this terrible news came on television (indeed in the evening, as has been said) I was in my teens. We were all terribly shocked and distressed and I rang an American friend who thought I was making some kind of bad joke because she didn't believe me. Over here we all thought it was horrific. We weren't afraid of a war, we just thought something incredibly tragic had happened.

Just a few weeks ago i visited the site near Windsor that the queen had the JFK memorial built on. The acre of land it sits on is officially US soil.

When we see Claire Foy laughing on interviews ,we can’t even imagine the huge raw talent she has in every project she does ,and I don’t think we have seen her full potential yet !

The Queen was one of the most cherished and important people of the past 100 years. She got the UK thru some incredibly difficult times.

I was 14 and at lunch thst day. We came back to class looking forward to Thanksgiving holiday and then this happened. The shock and sadness was overwhelming. No one could believe anyone would do that to a president we all loved. It never occurred to my teenage mind that the queen even cared. I didn't understand fully our allies politically. I still, at 74, find the whole event chaotic, sad and suspicious. To this day no one has solved it.

The portrayal of the queen & her mother making remarks about Jackie still wearing the bloodstained dress is a reference to what supposedly happened. It is said that Jackie was asked, or it was suggested, that she could change clothes and she is supposed to have said, "No...I want them to see what they've done to him" or words to that affect.

I have to rewatch those first two seasons - they were the best of the entire show, thanks to Claire Foy!

sometimes even a Queen is just a human being.

Jackie *refused* to change her clothing. I will never ever *not sob* when hearing Cronkite’s voice break when the official news over the wire from the White House is reported that Pres. Kennedy had died. Ugh. I wasn’t even born yet when this happened yet the pain I see if the eyes of my parents and everyone else who lived through that era tells me everything about what a catastrophic loss this was for the country.

The silence between Elizabeth and Philip....

¨That's the thing aboutt unhappiness, all it takes is for something worst to come along nd you realize it was actually happiness after all¨ so so so soooooo true, pure wisdom

When Mrs. Kennedy moved to her first house after leaving the White House, people would visit her new home day and night, some even crying. She became a sombre tourist attraction. This must have been very hard to handle.

I'm sitting here weeping like a fool. I'll never ever forget that day. Mom and my 7 year old self were going to go downtown to see President and Mrs. Kennedy. I sat down in front of the TV watching lunchtime cartoons when a local News Anchor came on. He said that President Kennedy and Governor Connally had been shot. I yelled for Mon and as soon as she came into the room to ask why I was yelling, I told her what happened. JFK was dead. Governor John Connally was alive (thanks to his quick thinking wife). Connally had what is known as a "sucking chest wound". Nellie Connally pulled Connally toward her. In doing so, his arm pressed against the wound sealing it. If that hadn't happened, Connally would have died that day, too. Then the Oath of Office given to LBJ with a blood spattered Jackie standing next to him. Her Honor Judge Sarah T. Hughes officiated. The flight back to D.C., Oswald getting shot dead on LIVE Television by Jack Ruby, The Funeral. 60 years on and I remember all of it.

Them spooning and just appreciating each other presence was very moving. It meant, they still have each other when unfortunately, Jackie lost her husband. To all the widows out there, I can’t imagine how hard it must feel losing your partner. 😢❤ prayers to yall.

Thank you, Britain, for trying to understand us when we mostly don't bother to understand you. The line about happiness is great (English) writing..

I absolutely loved them playing the queen and the duke I could watch them all day long ❤

I was taught that Jackie refused to change her clothes that day to show the world what happened to her husband

I remember that horrible day in November of 1963, I was to young to fully grasp what was going on.... I remember we were sent home from school. People at the government installation where my father worked came home... My mom had already come home.... it was a horrible thing and now..... now.... there are so many unanswered questions.... God Bless President Kennedy.... He is with Our Heavenly Father and other greats....

It's unbelievable to see that i live in her time, a monarch who watched so much great events, wars, met important persons, it's awesome either that she met people of the 19th century.😮

I was 6 weeks old, and my mom was feeding me. She said she was so shocked, she didn’t hear anything after they said he was dead - not me crying, not my gran taking me and rocking me, weeping. Everyone was just shocked.

The actress who played Jackie went on to play astronaut and later president Ellen Wilson in the TV series For All Mankind. I don’t know of any other actress who has played both a First Lady and a President aside from Robin Wright in House of Cards.

Such a powerful moment in history captured so powerfully.

Had a relative who worked for JFK early in his 1st term. This hit hard.

Keep coming with the crown scenes from any season. Please.

The Crown is one of the few bright spots on Netflix.

Those beautiful old Rovers though. 😍

This is actually one of the most “meta” scenes ever filmed. When the assassination happened, Prince Philip already had the TV on, anticipating the series premiere of Doctor Who. Yet, previously, Prince Philip had been Doctor Who. It’s a timey-whimey thing that defies explanation.

I wasn’t born when Kennedy was assassinated but people my parents age knew exactly where they were when the news came out. I do remember when Diana died. I was glued to the tv for days. That was a complete shock.

Wow! That was a great scene. I guess I am going to have to watch "The Crown", that's the first time I have seen any of it, and it sparked my interest. Thanks for sharing!

I wasn't even born when Pres Kennedy was assassinated and this hits me like a ton of bricks.

I suppose for many people alive at the time, this news had them thinking of sarajevo and the subsequnt spiral into world war.

One of a few times in the past century when the world stopped for a moment…

3:29 I love how Victoria Hamiton delivers this line, with genuine compassion and grief. Such a subtle moment but it reminds me that her character has lost her own husband and probably knows how Jackie Kennedy was feeling in this moment.

I apologize in advance for being "That Guy"... BUT...President Kennedy was pronounced dead at 1pm CST. That's 7pm GMT. On 22November, nearly winter. There's NO WAY it would have been light outside during this entire set-up and scene. Not at that latitude, at that time of day, at that time of year.

It was said that Queen Elizabeth was very shaken and quite upset about the whole incident. Royal protocol prohibited her from attending the funeral and she was upset at that. Even at her stature...

The day a nation died. I wonder who/what could have been behind such a dastardly deed?

I remember my granny and aunties crying listening to the wireless that day.

There's a piece of land in Runnymede not far from Windsor castle given to the United States with a JFK memorial on. The queen and prince Philip opened it with JFK's wife and kids and other family you can see the video elsewhere on UKposts

*I like the one with the music background.*

3:31 "couldn't they have found her something else to wear?" IT WAS JACKIE KENNEDY'S DECISION TO SHOW THE WORLD WHAT THEY HAD DONE TO HIM

2:43 until Jackie Kennedy's pink Chanel dress will be released and seen after being hidden and locked away for the next 130 years, it has and will only be seen in films and television series

I found out recently that there is a small plot of land ceded by Britain to the USA that contains a small memorial to JFK. People of a certain age will never forget 11/22/63 and its aftermath.

There is a spot in the UK that the Queen did that was to pay respect to Pessident Kennedy, which is American territory in the UK, but everyone can go to without having to show passport or ID

very poor continuity. we heard the news at 7pm that night due to time differences. it was november and nightime and very dark so the queen would not have been in the woods in daylight pulling up trees!

I don’t think I wanted to relive that moment. I was barely 16 and feel it was the end of my innocence.

You have to love a monarch who wears a babushka on her head and is helping the grounds people move a fallen tree.

i remember vividly as a kid in the back blocks of australia the emotional impact of the news ,i was 9 years old ..reflecting further on why the news would effect this aussie kid so much ,was probably due more to joe kennedy's ability to influence by projecting and controlling a narrative .. it goes to show how we can be influenced unconsciously. i remember reading "red spy at night " about a german woman that lived in russia when stalin died in 53 ,and how she cried at the news of Stalin's death,much to the astonishment and derision of her friend who was a colonel in the KGB. the power of influence.that's another reason i have such respect and admiration for the legacy of genuine service of the late queen .. from where i stand and know from observation she was about the most authentic good [god fearing] leader i've come across.such a precious, unique example and legacy and inspiration to the whole world .amongst all the lies and duplicity of heaps of other leaders ,who bring death not life and encouragement ..she showed it could be done .that's what sets her in a league very few attain .to me her wisdom is astonishing and i feel we have to give her submission and allegiance to jesus as she knew and experienced him . so give "the lord " a salute and clap for this one .how fortunate are we

Jackie have always known who her husband's murderer was, deliberate

I will never forget hearing of this on the radio. Walter Cronkite gave the news.

If she had not been pregnant it would’ve been something to see the queen of england marching in a group of world leaders in President Kennedy’s funeral

Isn't the Queen 5 1/2 months pregnant with Edward at this time? Claire Foy doen't look pregnant in these scenes.

it’s chilling to see a scene with The Queen informing Matt Smith that Kennedy is dead when 50 years later Matt will be playing the Doctor (a show which premiered the day AFTER the assassination)…

My great aunt got to see President Kennedy during one of the parades. She said he looked right at her, and she said he was HANDSOME! She is a republican, but she voted for Kennedy despite that.

Jack was no angel, but he embodied something that spoke to Americans of every creed. He carried the spirit and ambition of us all and led us forward even after he died. LBJ dedicated his presidency to honoring the legacy of President Kennedy.... taken too soon. His family was riven by so much tragedy and death in the decades following this. In fact, by 1969, in a matter of a few short years, JFK, his brother Bobby, and Martin Luther King Jr. were all assassinated in horrible acts of hate and political violence. Ted Kennedy faced the terrible fate too with Chappaquadick and he ultimately died of a glioblastoma... as did his best friend 10 years later to the day, Sen. John McCain III

With little else to do...... On November 22, 1963 the sun set in the UK at 4:03 PM. President Kennedy was shot at 12:30 Central Standard time which made it 6:30 PM UK time.

Jackie screamed a silent scream to the nation and left that outfit on for a reason. There was also a reason she chose the Irish Guard at the cemetery instead of the U.S. Third Regiment. To this day, we still do not know the Truth.

From the Grassy Knoll!

where's the background music?

She actually said “the CIA killed him” ….

My mom was only 3 when this happen, but she still remembers it because her brother (my uncle) was crying.

Going by this scene, the queen went to bed about 8pm bst, when saying he’s dead

The Royals couldn't be happier with the news about Kennedy, Kennedy wanted the British to pull out of Ireland.

The handling of the coffin was a debacle. The handles had to be broken off to fit on the plane.

I like to imagine in some other room Prince Phillip is unsually interested in a certain science fiction show that is airing right now.

Did anyone see Matthew Goode like the title said? I saw Matt Smith, but I didn’t see Matthew Goode.

She didn't like seeing how Jackie was wearing the blood stained clothes...no, she wouldn't?

She snuggled up to Phillip so perfectly it was like he grew a second head.

I'll bet her Majesty never forgot November 22nd, 1963, just like everyone who was alive when it happened!

The news reached the UK at 7pm. It was 22 November 1963 and pitch black. Here it looks like early morning. Rookie production error.

The treatment of Kennedy's body after his passing was HORRENDOUS!

Matthew Goode isn't in this clip. It's Matt Smith.

Love how the media tried to say JFK was still alive when in fact half his brain was gone.

Дима как похож на маего мужа характер поже такой ❤яяяяяя🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

I don’t think of matters such as this. As an American, how other countries leaders reacted and remembered the death of our leaders.

He was pronounced dead at 1300 hrs texas time. It was november. The time would ve around 1900 in the uk and it would be dark then.

Why is Matthew Goode’s name in the title?

Where's the music??

Why does this those the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh in bed when the news came that Kennedy was dead? Kennedy's dearh was announced at 13.33 Dallas time, making it about 7.30pm in Britain.

According to this show, the two women didn't really like each other, & Jacqueline Kennedy didn't show the Queen the respect she deserved, perhaps because she didn't have to fight for her position, as American leaders must. But in the end, Her Majesty was just left alone with her husband, thinking of another woman who had lost hers, & how easily it could be her turn one day. Thank God it took 60-some years, & was by the hand of time, in his own bed, peacefully. 😔

Matthew Smith

The timeline in this clip is a bit misleading. QEII is called back to the house in what looks like the afternoon as it’s still light out. She tells Phillip that JFK is dead as she climbs into bed; it’s dark out, implying that several hours have passed. Kennedy was shot at approximately 12:30 pm Central Time (US). News anchor Walter Kronkite announced his death on live TV at 1:38 Central Time. So it took only a little over an hour for people in the US to learn that JFK was gone. I’m sure the BBC picked up the news fairly soon after, and I don’t doubt that there were people who made sure QEII was one of the first to know.
