Britain's most forgettable prime minister stands out in TheCrown thanks to Jonny Lee Miller's performance.
Editor's Note: The following contains spoilers for Season 5 of The Crown. One of the most fascinating themes that The Crown has tackled in its five seasons is the complex relationship between the political leadership of Great Britain and the Royal Family. While the Royal Family has little actual political power, they have the ability to change public opinion and influence the electorate. This poses a challenge to each Prime Minister that meets with Queen Elizabeth .
What makes Major interesting is that he is being adjusted to these seismic shifts in the culture at the same time that the audience is. He’s aware that the Queen is a cultural icon of no comparison, and he’s nervous about making any attempts to modernize the monarchy without offending the Royal Family. He simply pays attention to the nation’s demands without taking away its traditions, and he’s shocked when he becomes thrust into the middle of the “Dianagate” scandal.
Of course, the meeting immediately goes off on a wrong note when Miller informs the Queen that the Royal Yacht Britannia can not be paid for by the public. While this is something that Major realizes will be a challenge, he doesn’t realize that the Queen will take it as a personal offense. Major shows remorse about his comments during a conversation with Prince Charles , but he gets mixed signals when Charles mentions that he thinks that Major’s initial suggestion was on point.
Major’s Influence on the Country Is Not Felt, But His Influence on the Crown and the Royal Family Is The Crown doesn’t make a firm assessment of Major’s effectiveness, but we do get to feel empathy for him when he loses his reelection campaign to Tony Blair . He makes a heartfelt confession to the Queen that despite the polls indicating otherwise, he did allow himself to think that he had a chance at victory.
