Good quotes from the Crown season 3

I recently watched season three of the Netflix series The Crown. As I was watching it I noticed a few good lines.

Something amiss…

When Prince Phillips is talking to a group of clergy who have formed a support group at St. George’s House, and he says

My mother died recently. She… she saw that something was amiss. It’s a good word, that. Amiss. She saw that something was missing in her youngest child.

On people’s appetite for a shock

When prime minister Harold Wilson tells the Queen that he has alzheimer’s, and he is going to resign, the Queen says

This will come as a terrible shock.

Wilson responds by saying

Well, maybe, but, uh…No shock lasts longer than 48 hours. There’s too much appetite for the next shock.
