Elizabeth and Winston Churchill

The relationship between Elizabeth and Winston Churchill is an amazing one to watch. He had the utmost respect for her father and she doesn’t take that lightly. Elizabeth treats Churchill as an equal and in the beginning, he doesn’t really see it the same way.

He has things to teach her and he makes her realize that she isn’t as prepared as she thought she was. But as the season goes on, it is clear that Winston cares very deeply for her and wants her to be the best monarch she can. So he helps her and makes sure she is ready before he decides to retire from being Prime Minister.

There are so many little things between the two of them that are fascinating to watch. The power dynamic and how, by the end, the two are on the same playing field. In fact, Elizabeth may have gained his complete respect to the point where he sees himself beneath her.

But their relationship is more than just the power and politics. It is a giant game of give and take to the point where they become unlikely friends and care for one another. When Winston gets sick, you can tell Elizabeth is mad no one told her but also she’s worried about him. It is a nice thing to see since no one really knows much of their true relationship.
