As Elizabeth tries to persuade Margaret against the relationship, the Queen Mother starts complaining about Philip's domineering attitude towards Charles . At the suggestion of both Lascelles and the Queen Mother, Elizabeth asks Philip to open the Summer Olympics in Melbourne so he can adjust to life in her shadow . A five - month royal tour onboard the newly commissioned HMY Britannia is later added to Philip's itinerary, to which Elizabeth responds by suggesting that he be thankful everyone is helping him find a public role .

Five months earlier, as Philip prepares to embark on his royal tour, Elizabeth becomes convinced he is having an affair after finding a photograph of Russian ballerina Galina Ulanova in his briefcase . Chancellor of the Exchequer Harold Macmillan challenges Eden's solution to Egypt nationalizing the Suez Canal but later agrees that the best course of action is military intervention . Philip's uncle Louis Mountbatten overhears the plan and warns Elizabeth, who confronts Eden after hearing reports that Israel has invaded the Sinai Peninsula . Eden explains that the invasion was part of a secret plan spearheaded by the Israeli, French and British governments to reclaim the canal and overthrow Egyptian President Nasser without support from Parliament or the United Nations . Elizabeth gives her support and allows British forces to begin launching air raids on Egypt before going to see Ulanova perform . </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> 12 </Th> <Td> </Td> <Td> "A Company of Men" </Td> <Td> Philip Martin </Td> <Td> Peter Morgan </Td> <Td> December 8, 2017 (2017 - 12 - 08) </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td_colspan="6"> In December 1956, Eden withdraws British forces from Egypt following international political pressure before going on a vacation to Jamaica on the grounds of ill health . Philip, meanwhile, continues his royal tour, with his adventures punctuated by a newspaper interview that ends when the reporter presses him for information about his family's past and a shipwrecked fisherman briefly joining the tour after being rescued . On Christmas, Philip gives a speech on the radio, prompting Elizabeth to let him know his family is waiting for him while giving the Royal Christmas Message . Meanwhile, Eileen Parker, the wife of Philip's private secretary Michael, initiates divorce proceedings after finding proof that her husband has been engaging in an affair . Elizabeth's assistant private secretary Martin Charteris warns Adeane about Eileen, noting that her filing for divorce could cause the press to question the state of Elizabeth and Philip's marriage . </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> 13 </Th> <Td> </Td> <Td> "Lisbon" </Td> <Td> Philip Martin </Td> <Td> Peter Morgan </Td> <Td> December 8, 2017 (2017 - 12 - 08) </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td_colspan="6"> Eden returns from Jamaica only to find himself forced out of Downing Street by his cabinet and the Conservative Party, who blame him for the repercussions of the Suez Crisis . As Macmillan settles into the role of Prime Minister, Adeane enlists a retired Lascelles to make Eileen change her mind about the divorce proceedings . When his plan fails and Elizabeth, Philip, and Parker learn about the decision, Elizabeth attempts to convince her to hold off the announcement only to be rebuffed . The story later goes public, prompting Philip to force Parker to resign . Elizabeth arranges for Philip's return before meeting the Britannia in Lisbon, where Philip tells her that he resents that his son outranks him and he needs respect from the "mustaches". On February 22, 1957, Philip is given the title of Prince and styled "His Royal Highness the Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh". </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> 14 </Th> <Td> </Td> <Td> "Beryl" </Td> <Td> Benjamin Caron </Td> <Td> Amy Jenkins and Peter Morgan </Td> <Td> December 8, 2017 (2017 - 12 - 08) </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td_colspan="6"> Shortly before her birthday, Margaret accepts a marriage proposal from her friend Billy Wallace only to break off the engagement when she finds him drunk and recovering from a duel on the night of the announcement, which was set to take place during a gala celebrating Elizabeth and Philip's tenth wedding anniversary .

The piece was written after Altrincham had listened to a radio broadcast of a particularly tone - deaf speech of hers, written by her aides and members of the court, to the workers of a car factory . While both the local newspapers and the general public are initially against him, they side with him after he appears on ITV and states that the monarchy needs to adapt to the current post-war and post-Suez British society . Macmillan reminds Elizabeth about the trend of nations abolishing monarchies, prompting her to meet with Altrincham in secret . She later implements two of his suggestions, specifically that the 1957 Royal Christmas Message be televised and that the Debutante Ball be opened to select citizens . Six months later, the Queen Mother expresses her embarrassment over the monarchy slowly losing its authority while hosting a garden party with middle - class citizens in attendance . </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> 16 </Th> <Td> 6 </Td> <Td> "Vergangenheit" </Td> <Td> Philippa Lowthorpe </Td> <Td> Peter Morgan </Td> <Td> December 8, 2017 (2017 - 12 - 08) </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td_colspan="6"> In 1945 Germany, a German officer leads American soldiers to a box containing top - secret diplomatic papers .

In 1958, shortly before meeting with American evangelist Billy Graham, Elizabeth receives a letter from Edward asking for permission to re-enter the United Kingdom and try to find employment . She grants the request and he immediately starts convincing former sycophants to support his return . When a group of historians previously tasked with publishing German war files unearths the papers, which have been reorganised into a series of volumes entitled the Marburg Files, Macmillan brings the issue to Elizabeth . He and the Queen Mother proceed to explain that one volume, which the United States wants to be published, concerns Edward's clandestine relationship with Nazi High Command . After a confrontation with Edward does not go as planned, Elizabeth asks Lascelles for advice only to learn the extent of the relationship .

Feeling challenged, she travels to Ghana to meet with President Kwame Nkrumah, whose relationship with the Soviet Union is worrying Macmillan . Elizabeth successfully convinces him to cut all ties with the Soviet Union and realign Ghana's interests with the United Kingdom in exchange for agreeing to dance the foxtrot with her . Shortly afterward, Jackie makes an unexpected visit to the United Kingdom and sits down with Elizabeth at Windsor Castle, where she apologizes for insulting her behind her back and explains that she was under the influence of "substances" at the time . Elizabeth later confides in Philip, asking him if she should have responded in a more personal way .

Charles, meanwhile, starts having difficulties in keeping up with Gordonstoun's rigorous curriculum and, when he disappears during the Gordonstoun challenge, is found crying by his security detail .
