- Quotes
Queen Elizabeth II: Is everything all right?
Tommy Lascelles: I do hope it wasn't a mistake inviting the group captain to join us.
Queen Elizabeth II: You've never cared for him, Tommy.
Tommy Lascelles: No, I cared for him as long as he did his job and knew his place.
Queen Elizabeth II: My father held him in high regard.
Tommy Lascelles: As a member of staff, not as a member of the family.
Queen Elizabeth II: He has been a good friend to us all.
Tommy Lascelles: Too good, I would argue. And he let his wife go in the process.
Queen Elizabeth II: He was innocent in that regard. She left of her own accord. And he's a wonderful father to those boys.
Tommy Lascelles: I'm just trying to manage a difficult situation, ma'am.
Queen Elizabeth II: As am I. Sending him away will break my sister's heart.
Tommy Lascelles: Hearts mend.
