Jackie Kennedy Doesn't Like Queen Elizabeth | The Crown (Claire Foy, Jodi Balfour, Jamie Glover)

Patrick your majesty it's so kind of you to come it's really not far are you still just around the corner at Wellington Barracks I am and you still traveling up and down the country recruiting for all the regiments from all the top schools that's me hi gather you saw the first lady I did it recently who Mrs Kennedy Margaret mentioned it did she yes so how was that Pleasant enough uneventful you know how it is at the radav vills no I don't well the food's always good yes but I wasn't asking about the food I'd like to know what was said Patrick we grew up together and we've always had a very Frank and a very open relationship yes ma'am yes so let's not break the habit of a lifetime all right what I ever heard the first lady say and I should mention I was several places along the table it's possible that I misheard was that she found Buckingham Palace second rate dilapidated and sad like a neglected provincial hotel and that one came away with a sense of a tired institution without a place in the modern world I see and did she have anything to say about me Patrick I was at the other end of the table but the words I think I overheard were but in our head of state we had a middle-aged woman so incurious unintelligent and unremarkable but Britain's new reduced place in the world was not a surprise but an inevitability well we must have her again soon [Music]
