the crown (2016) - elizabeth flies home while churchill falls apart

churchill (john lithgow) is told a rumor that anthony eden (jeremy northam) went to the king ten days earlier to raise concerns about his age and fitness to lead, allegedly pushing for him to step down, but churchill refuses to believe it, insisting the king would never betray him and that he raised eden "like a father." meanwhile he's up in the middle of the night wrestling with a eulogy broadcast he can't seem to get right, all while elizabeth's flight home is tracked leaving el adem and crossing italy, and the next morning he's too emotionally spent to even show up to lead the meeting, leaving a deputy to preside in his place. season 1, episode 2: "hyde park corner" watch the crown now: http://AAN.SonyPictures.com/TheCrown some of the links above are affiliate links; we may earn a small commission if you click through and make a purchase. the crown follows the reign of queen elizabeth ii, tracing the political rivalries and personal sacrifices that shaped the british monarchy from the inside out. you love it here. admit it. subscribe: ‪@grlcoded‬ #thecrown #johnlithgow #winstonchurchill #queenelizabeth
