Olivia Coleman? C'mon now, she's almost as much a national treasure as Queenie herself.

The joke being that HRH is famously stoic, laughed her way thru foxhunts and staghunts, has seen it ALL, dealt w some truly challenging men in power (PLUS Maggie T), AND had to deal w the upheaval of Diana's death and the near extinction of the firm.

And not once did her lip quiver in public. And very likely not in private (it's been reported she is absolutely pi$$ed off w Harry). She just doesn't do "heart on sleeve" stuff.

If Olivia Coleman blubs her way thru the role as she does in everything else (gosh, can she cry!), it'll be inauthentic to the max.

Olivia Coleman imo nailed the role in every way. Her speech, facial and body mannerisms.
she was fabulous.

Good to hear.

Rumor over here is Malibu might be a stopping point

Who in their right mind would prefer the sunny and near perfect weather of Malibu over London? Meghan and Harry shouldn't be too quick to give up their London digs!

Marty, they can go. But are they gonna leave behind their Rollerdexes w top draw contacts, any payment from the Royal List, their £ multimillion properties?

Probably not, they've already said they will keep their Royal Crest letterheads. So they leave the firm, but they remain Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

Perks/responsibilities. They get unprecedented visibility for all their causes due to who they are. While Harry's brother has to take all the responsibilities. Way more now Harry has left the field.

Finally saw Season 3. Boy, did they ever dial the scripts back and add more sanctity, almost like they had been, like, intimidated? First two seasons were better IMHO.
